THE SHEMWELL CASE.
One of The Herald's good friends
and a leading citizen of the county,
one who always keeps up with what
Is going on throughout the State,
writes us as follows:
"It is the opinion of the people
that the News and Observer and the
Wilmington Star are right In the
Shemwell case. It is well enough
for the Governor to give hiui u res
pite if he is sick with rheumatism
and at. llot Springs for treatment,
for he would be too severely puulsh-1
ed to be in a convict camp Willi I
rueumatism where the accommoda
tions are only for the well and hear
ty, and it might be well to let tni
matter stand as it is until April luo
first, and then let the law lake lis
course, sick or well. 11 misstate
ment* have been made to the Gov
ernor and a man has been ruspiled
who was not entitled to his clemency,
then the people wll uphold the Gov
ernor when he shows them that he
does not like to be imposed upon
and that the law shall be obeyed.
..
Mr. oueinwuu is ricn una iuiu ratn<r
pay a large flue than lo go to the
roads-, but, bo ought lo bavo thought
of the results of bis crime before
he went so far. Now, suppose It
had been the conductor who bad
assaulted Shemwell; be would have
lost his Job, and there would have
been no let up on hlui until he was
put on the roads. The Railroad Co.
would have been sued for large
damages and the courts would have
said It was none too good for hav
ing such a man in its employ. Equal
justice to all, special privileges to
none. Let the law take its course if
tie has to be taken to Jail on a lit
ter."

Saved at Death'* Door.
The door of death seemed ready
to open for Murray W. Ayers, of
Transit Bridge, N. Y., when his
life was wonderfully saved. "1 was
in a dreadful condition," he writes,
my skin was almost yellow; eyes
sunken; tongue coated; emaciated
from losing 40 pounds, growing weak
er daily. Virulent lirer trouble pull
ing me down to death in spite of
doctors. Then that matchless medi
cine?Electric Bitter*?cured me. I
regained the 40 pounds lost and now
am well and strong. "For all stom
ftch, liver and kidney troubles they're
supreme. 60c at BHood ros.

Have you a week throat? if so,
you cannot be too careful. You can
not begin treatment too early. Each
cold makes you more liable to an
other and the last is always the
harder to cure. If you will take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at the
outset you will be saved much
trouble. Sold by Hood Bros.
WOMEN'S WOES.
Smithfield Women are Finding Re
lief at Last.
It does seem that women have mur
than a fair share of the aches and
pallia that affect humanity; they' mua
"keep up," must attend to duties In
spite of constantly aching hacks, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when
to stoop means torture. They must
walk and bend and work with rack
1 UK pains and many aches from kid
ney Ills. Kidneys cause more suffer
ing than any other organ of the body.
Keep the kidneys well and health
is easily maintained. Read of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps
and cures the kldneyB and is endors
ed by people you know.
Mrs. J. R. Bailey, Hudson St.,
Smithfield, N. C., says:: "I wish
to express my high opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills, having used them with
the most satisfactory results. 1 had
considerable backache and at times
was hardly able to do my housework.
The kidney secretions were too fre
quent In passage and my health be
came much run down. Hearing of
Doan's Kidney I'ills, I commenced us
ing them and I soon felt better. My
kidneys were restored to their nor
mal condition, the pains in my back
[disappeared and my strength and
I energy returned. Doan's Kidney
i I'ills can be relied upon to give re
: lief from troubles arising from dls
j ordered kidneys."
