A CORRECTION
Newton Grove, Feb. *6
Editor Dunn Dispatch,
. Dunn, N. C.
Dear Sir:—Sometime ago there
appeared an oditorial in the columns
of your paper relative to the death
of Mr. N. M. Keene, of Sampooa
county, who committed saicide. The
nature of the write-up was to the ef
fect that Mr. Keene’s object wae to
evade an approaching officer and
rather than be hailed into court on
account of his failure to moot finan
cial obligations ha sought relief in
death.
It is evidently piste that the press
£»• w*mg$#lg tafcnqed. . Mr.
Xaena Hk? bash to declining health
for about six months which was
chiefly the cause of his trouble. True
there were financial obligations that
seemingly were impossible for him
to meet and the man that approach
ed hit house on ths morning that he
left was one of his creditors Instead
of a constable as your paper stated.
But tore had not been the least un
pleasantness between him and hie
creditor whatever. There hadn't
been say legal proceedings or any
thing of the kind. And judging
from the Circumstance* under which
be died it it very evident that Ms
act was plotted s good while prior
to this titea He drank Creosote
from a gallon jug and had gone at
least one hundred end fifty yards
from the place where he drank the
deadly poison. He was found In a
real thick jungle by a searching par
ty competed of the neighbor* for
miles around. He had been goo.
from the house about twenty-four
hours when found.
Mr. Kaena was a quiet, sober sad
upright man. lie was never known
to have trouble with his neighbor*,
go kind and loving to bis family that
he kept from them any knowledge
whatsoever of Us indebtedness, sad
the news that be was over burdened
with debt came as a complete sur
prise to his family. Ho wasn't a
member of any branch of the church
but lhrod a modest, consistent Hfe.
He was M years of age and las vs*
to mourn his departure a wife and
five small children, a father, mother
and slaters, besides a large host of
relatives and friends.

Epworth League Social.
The Epworth League of tbe Meth

eral sociability at tha home of Miss
Paulina Blaylock, last night between
tha hbdrs of eight sad Ion thirty.
Tha meeting waa in charge of
Mias Cherry, vice-president at the
Literary-Social department of tho
organisation, and we must say that
those present thoroughly enjoyed
tho intercourse end genie] merriment
which the games and contests pro
duced. A large number were there,
too; se tho reception hall and par
lor were constantly ringing with
peals of laughter over the things
said and done and vice versa. Sev
eral visitors were present besides
the regular membership at the
League. Contests were engaged in
by all, one of which was the ar
rangement of a number of jam bled
words which spelled the virtues
which a Leaguer should possess.
Several guessed these correctly. An
other was the making of words from
tho name of the organisation, “Ep
worth League." Severn] created as
high as sixty and seventy la the
abort space of time allotted for tho
contest. No prizes were given, but
as a reward tbe hostess served trait

were none at tho Boris! who would
