Protect! Your Women .
The assaults on women seem to be
on the increase in North Carolina.
Even the little children are not spar
ed, two little girls aged 4 and 11
years respectively were assaulted last
week in the western part of the state
by black brutes.
Our people and especially country
residents Bhould be very careful not
to allow their wives and daughters
to traverse lonely roads by themsel
ves, and also keep your little girls
where you can watch them.
Learn you women folks how to
shoot a pistol and gun so that when
you are away or they are compelled
to . leave home by themselves they
may use them if necessary. If the
devils knew they stood in "danger of
being shot by the women ot our
country there would be fewer as
saults. Wilson Times.

Editor Beacon :
In your issue of Friday, the 1st
inst., there is a statement in regard
to a member of my company, (H,
17th N. C, Vols) which I hope you
will correct. In the first place, the
incident referred to, was not at or
near the celebrated crater, but near
the Old Gas Works in front of Peters
burg. In the next place Co., H.
had her full compliment of officers
and it never occurred at any time
during the war, that all of them
were absent at one time. They are
all living now and can answer for
themselves they are, 1st Lt. S. B.
Johnston; 2nd Lt., W. R. Chesson';
3rd Lt., T. I. uray, and myself.
The fact is this ; a mortar shell fell
in the midst of company messes
while they were eating. Private W.
J. Ausbon coolly went to the shell
with its fuse still burning, picked it
tip and threw it over the breastwork,
without orders from any one. It was
that or death for the whole mess for
the shell actually exploded on the
other side ot the breastwork before
striking the ground. Such acts of
cool courasre as this occur at very
He leffcon? intervals. There were I think
out seven such acts of heroism du
ring the wnole war. Uertie, our
sister county, has perpetuated the
memory of her Confederate dead by
an enduring: monument. Is there
not something Washington can do in
the same line ? It would be a proud
boast to perpetuate in North Caro
lina granite that one of the seven
heroes of the late war was from this
county.

Glorious News
Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Was
hita, I.T. He writes: "Four bottles of
Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer of
scrofula, which had caused her great suf
fering for years. Terrible sores would
break out on her head and face, and the
best doctors could give no help ; but her
cure is complete and nor nealtn is excel
lent." This shows what thousands have
proved, that Electric Bittors is the best
blood purifier-known. It's the supreme
remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ul
cers, boils and running sores. It stimulates
hyer, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons,
helps digestion builds cp the strength.
