STB. MAYFLOWER SUNK.
ALL OK" BOARD RESCUED EXCEPT AN
INFANT WHICH WENT DOWN
WITH THE ILL FATED
. STEAMER.
The Str. Mayflower which plied
between Plymouth and Windsor, a
mail, passenger and freight boat, left
Plymouth on Friday afternoon last
heavily loaded with freight and pas
sengers. When making the second
bend in the thoroughfare she began
to list, and being round bottomed
without sufficient bearings for her
urjner work, the Captain wa3 .un
able to stop her on the keel, and de
spite his efforts to throw her up,
she went over and sank to the bot
tom.
Some of the nasseneers saw the
situation in time to escape bv climb
ing on the high side, but many of
them, especially those in the saloon,
went down with the boat and came
near being drowned, but luckily all
were saved except one infant, which
in bite excitement was hurled from
its mother's arms by falling furni
ture and nerished in the saloon.
After the passengers and crew had
been placed on the shore, Capt.
Dav-enuort. with two men, went to
Sans Souci to get boats and wraps
that he misrht take care of the wo
men And children and convey all to
the nearest house. Before his re
turn Capt. llayse and others came
out to the lioanoke where tney
hailed the Str. Pettit, which went
in and took the half frozen passen
gers -and crew, bringing them to
Plymouth.
The sympathies of our people are
with the officers and company in
this misfortune, and especially to
Mr. and Mrs. Russell, whose baby
was consigned to a watery grave.
Capt. Davenport has been v in
charge ot the steamer for a year or
more, and has had some rough ex
periences in her, but he seemed to
have had conhdence in her, tnougn
mauv considered the boat rather un
safe, especially in rough weather.
Just what caused this deplorable
accident perhaps may never be
known. There ha3 been conflicting
reports reports about the matter,
hence we. have no authority to state
the cause, or who, if any one was
responsible for, or to blame ; we be
lieve, however, as a majority do,
that it was purely an accident.
Capt. Hayse had just come over
that afternoon to relieve Capt.
Davenport, who had orders from the
company to turn the steamer over
to him. Both of these gentlemen
were in the pilot house at the time
of the accident.
Wreckers are at worlc ge tting the
boat up. The body of the baby was
found yesterday and turned over to
the grief stricken parents lor inter

Plymouth Boys Charged with
Arson In Wilson.
To say that the people of this town
were shocked when they read in the
News and Observer yesterday that
Mess. J. It. Brooks and W. D. Coop
er had been arrested in Wilson upon
a charge of arson does not express it.
These young men went to Wilson
from Plymouth about two months
ago and engaged in the furniture
business. Mr. Brooks was for two
years one of the most respected busi
ness men having come here Irom
Suffolk bring a lirst-class recommen
dation which he fully sustained. Mr.
Cooper was raised in this town where
he has spent nearly all his life and
not one thing has ever been brought
against the characters of these men,
and knowing them as our people do,
of course no one here believes them
guilty of the crime.
All the evidence against them is
circumstantial and we hope they
may bo exonerated.
IIis Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful de
liverance from a frightful death. In telling
of it he says : "I was taken with Typhoid
Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs
became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't
sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I ex
pected to soon die of Consumption, when
I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One
bottle gave great relief. I continued to use
it, and now am well and strong. I can't
say too much in its praise." This marvel
lous medicine is the surest and quickest
cure in the world for all Throat and Luug
Trouble. Regular size 50 cents and $1.00.
Trial bottles free at Plymouth Drug Co,
every bottle guaranteed . 2
When a mau is all broke up he sees the
necessity of mending his ways.
No Right To Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face, form
and temper will always have friends, but
one who would be attractive must keep her
health. If she is weak, sickly and all run
down, she will be nervous and irritable. It
she has constipation or kidney trouble, her
impure biood will cause pimples, blotches,
skin eruptions and a wretched complexion.
Eiectric Bitters is the best medicine in the
world to regulate stomach, liver and kid
nejs and to purify the blood. It gives
strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, vel
vety skin, rich complexion. It will make a
good-looking, charming woman of a run
down invalid. Only 50 cents at Plymouth
Drug Store. 2
We never know what a kiss means until
we get it from a girl's own lips.
Bismarck's Iron Nerve
Was the result of his splendid health.
Indomitable will and, tremendous energy
are not found where Stomach, Liver, Kid
Leys and Bowels are out of order. If you
want these qualities and tne success they
bring, nse Dr. King's New Life Pills. They
develop every power of brain and body.
