The list was taken hurriedly and in a little confusion, so his name was omit ted. A Sudden Deatb. Miss Lina, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Gardner, died at their home in Greenwood a 8 o'clock Tuesday morn ing, September 20, aged 22 years. She was in her usual health, ate breakfast and was sweeping the house when she fell in a convulsion. Her father was called in and she was placed in bed and it was thought the attack had passed off when he went out about his work. Soon he was called to the house again and when he reached her she was dead. She had been an epileptic from early childhood, but her health bed been unusually good recently. She was a most industrious girl and was always ready to turn her hand to any task to relieve her mother. She was dutiful aud good and her death has caused great sorrow in the home in which she was a joy and delight to all. The death was as surprising as it was sudden The sympathy of the matiy friends of the family goes out to them in this their time of grief. The body was interred in the Kehukee cem etery this morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. E- Holden conducting the service. Assaulted in the Dark. L.st Saturday night a colored bo;, named Jim Simmons attempted to teal a ride at tbo merry-go-round and Mr. Dickens, one of the young men in charge, took him off. Later Mr. Dickens in company with some other young men was going up the street towards the opera bouse. J nst as he passed the corner of Riddick and Hooker's store, some one threw a brick from the alley, struck Dickens on the side of the head and knocked him down. The assailants passed out back of Riddick and Hooker's store and were heard to run towards the cross street leading to Church street. Soon earnest search was made for them and Jim Simmons, the boy who was taken from the merry-go-round an hour or two before was arrested under a warrant sworn out before Justice B. F. Gray. At first he would make no confession but later confessed it all and was sent to jail to await trial. Two other boys were with him and later they were arrested but said they had nothing to do with throwing the brick and tried to get Simmons not to doit. W hen he thew the brick they ran because he did. They were dried before Dr. A. C. Livermon Monday and bound over to court in a bond oi $100. Dr. Baker Acquitted. Dr. J. M. Baker who wj.s tried last week in Tarboro for killing Dr. Bass a year and a half ago, was acquitted. The News and Observer Bald : "It is learned that the jury was out a whole day. When they first went out a vote was taken. It stood : For acquittal 9; lor conviction 3. On Sunday morning another vote was ta ken and the vote stood 11 for acquittal and one for conviction. Finally at 2 o'clock the lone juror decided to join with the eleven and a verdict of 'not guilty was accordingly rendered." , Last Week's Storm. The storm which was so furious here one week ago did great damage to crops. Late corn was almost ruined. Cotton was blown badly and where the weed is rank picking will be harder. Reports from all parts of the State have given acconnt of much loss by the wind and by floods in the streams. $100 REWARD, $100.

Co r b y's Washington Bread at Tyler & Out terbridge's fresh all tho time. martha Elizabeth lassiter. Feb. aStn 1848--Sept; ao, 1904. On Tuetday afrernoxi at 3 :15 after over two months oi intense suffering, sister Marha Elizabeth Lassiter passed over the river to her eternal home. She was born in Buckinham county Va., Feb. 20th, 1848. During the civ il war, her parents John and Eliza beth Spencer moved with her toScot tsville, Va. There she grew to woman hood and there in 1873 was married to brother R. C. Lassiter. The first two years of their married life were spent in Winton, N. C. In 1875 they moved to Weldon, which place they made their home. They had lived short imes in Roanoke Rapids and Ports mouth, Va. During last December, they moved from Portsmouth to Scot 's ad Neck. Into their home were oorn two children. Both of these died in childhood. Sister Lassiter 's parents ire both dead. One Bister survives her Mrs. Mary Angel, McKee's Rock, Pa. From her early years, she has been an earnest Christian and in 1878 she was baptized by Dr. Henry McDonald at Weldon and became a member of be Weldon Baptist church. Her Christian life has been one of simple child-like trust and woven in with in numerable deeds of love and kindness. Bright, happy and helpful has been ber walk with God. She lived an ever growing and brightening liie that to her has always been satisfying, and, ere she left us it bloonr ed out in per fect confidence aha assurance of sal vation. Always so kind, so gentle, so bright, so optimistic, her life was a blessing and benediction to every one who knew her. Obliging, sympathetic and consider ate, she was a neighbor loved and ap preciated by all. She saw the bright est and best of lite and shared ber sun shine with her friends. As a wife none could have been more faithful, careful, sympathetic, loving and con genial. Truly did these two love each other. They loved each other with the fresh, fragrant love ot spring uutil their winter' eve. With all the sweet, happy relations that loVe can engen der, they lived, labored and loved Verily tbeirs were "two souls with but -1 tingle thought." About the Rmall est things of life, each consulted the other aud thus they solved the prob lems cf life. To her none was wiser than he. To him none knew better than "Sister." Cross words found no hiding pla-e In their home and love was an eer blooming l wef. As the writer can truly testify, to be in their bouse was to learn a new and deeper meaning of that blessed word "home." Even to ber dying moments with motherly tenderness and interest she would inquire aftgr iCe wb8n away A if I were her own boy she shared my sorrow and my jiy. Now she if gone and how shattered is the place we call home! With wonderful strength and incom parable patience she bore her feaiful suffering. The excruciating pain which for two months was wearing away her life wrung from her heait naught but praise. Never was there a complaint. God's way Was her way. She was reconciled. She died in peace. Her end was like the calmness of an 1 evening sleep. She was waiting tor the summons, through the clouds she looked to the glories of the Home land aud told us of their matchless beauty. Such patience in suffering. such peace in deatb were to the sad watchers a new revelation of the bless edness of the Christian's hope. "AIaoti nn KAlrkwaji .laan An on1 tabo tby rest, Lay down thy head upon tby Saviour's breast ; We loved thee well, but Jesus loved thee best. Good night, good night, good night." G. T. Lumpkin. The remains were taken to Wei Ion to-day for interment. The following persons accompanied the body : Mr. Lassiter, her husband, Rev. G.T. Lump kin, ber pastor, Mrs K. E. Hilliard, Mrs. J. E. Hancock, Misses Annie Biggs and Mary Lawrence, Mess. N. Bigjs, W. S. Bennett, S. W. Morrisett and Bernard Allsbrook. Mr. Lasiiter tenders thanks to friends for their assistance and sympathy. Tell Tale Blood. On the day after the storm last week there was found in tbo rear ot Lewis' saloon a small pool of blood. There were signs of some bind ol a scuffle, and persona-who saw it thought there must have been a severe fight. Nothing has been learned which would warrant any conclusion as to who my have been engaged in the fight. THE CHRISTIAN churches at Constantinople, Turkey, and Yokaho ma, Japan, have long used the Long man & Martinez Paints for painting their churches. Liberal contributions of L. & M. Paints given for Buch purpose wbere ever a church is located. F. M. Sc fie'd, Harris Springs, S. C, writes, "I painted our old homestead with L. fc M. tweuty-Bix years ago. Not painted since ; looks better than houses painted in the last four years." W. B. Barr, Charleston, W. Va., writes, "Painted Frankenburg Block with L & M. shows better than any buildings here have ever done ; stands out as though varnished, and actual cost of paint wae less than f L20 per gallon. Wears and covers like gold." These Celebrated Paints are sold by T. Wattobaaft Co. , oMB THE COTTON SEED OIL MILL,. Work on the cotton seed oil mill is progressing rapidly and the plant will soon be ready ior business. The capacity will be forty tons oi seed per day. A rrioderti and complete gin will be run in connection with the oil mill. It will be a "rapid-fire" con cern. A farmer will carry bis cotton to the gin and in fifteen minutes after bis cart or wagon is driven under the suction pipes his cotton will be baled and on his wagon ready to be carried to the cotton yard. The cotton will not be bandied at all except by ma chinery. If a farmer wishes to keep the seed of ah jr particular bale of cot ton separate, he will only have to stop his cart under the tube through which they will be "snaked" to the seed pile and let them drop in. Every modem convenience will be in operation atld the enterprise will be a pleasing addition td the business of tbe town, as well as a great convenience and help to the farmers of the com munity. Tbe men at tbe head of it Mess. Jno. Coughenotir, Hoffman j McDowell and Stuart, insure Its success. Mr. Coughenour will be on tbe spot to look after the work, and Mr. Stuart has had several years experience in tbe business. The Commonwealth has been say ing for several years that a cotton seed oil mill is one of tbe greatest needs of Scotland Neck, and it is now a great pleasure for us to be able to giye to the public this pleasing information con cerning an ihterprise which this paper has advocated for A long time. What Saved the ffegre? Mr. Justus Everett ot Martin county was in town a few days ago and related a singular incident of the storm last week. He was standing iti a building not far from hia well late in the after noon while the storm was raging wild ly, and seeing a colored man standing at the we'll wltblo reh of some oaks, be called to him to come away, the colored man did not hear, but Mr. Everett catching his eye through the storm beckoned vehemently to come a we J. the colored man at once ran to Mr. Everett and had but just clear ed tbe space where he was standing when a tree fell in the very place from which he had been called. Now; what saved tbe man ? I" ast Riding aad Driving. Some days ago a colored boy rode a horse at break-neck speed down tbe otrret to the ice house. Procuring h:t ice be started b'ttcft up the street about as be came down. When he turned the corner of Eleventh and Church streets tbe horse was running so fast tbe boy could not turn him an 1 he swept clear acro3 tbe street on to (he opposite side-walk. A nUfse with mall child was on the side-walk at that point and barely escaped being run over. Fast riding and fast driving are dan gerous and ought, to be prohibited. The boy on tbe horse is not the only one who has gone at imprudent gait on tbe streets. -Occasionally there is driv ing on tbe streets that is too fast for safety. SaVed the Deef : Some days ago while Mr. J. B. Ed wards "was on h Is farm near Neal Station, he beard a dog running some thing in the woods, and passing in the direction in front of the dog some boys ran upon a deer lying in tbe path. They called for Mr. Edwards with his knife to cut the deer's throat. He hurried to the spot and found the deer still kicking. It had made a tre mendous leap to clear the path atld I bad struck the wire fence on the other side and bad broken its neck. Mr. Edwards.to be sure he was dead ( cut bis throat and instructed bis men to dress him. ' Next day Mr. Edwards had a choice quarter ol venison. Last Opportunity..

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS. Forty million bottles of August Flower sold in the United States alone since its intrddaetlon 1 And tbe de mand for it is still growing. Isn't that a fine showing of success? Don't it proye that August Flower has bad un failing success in tbe cure of indiges tion and dyspepsia tbe two greatest enemies of health and happiness? Does it not afford the tost evidence that August Flower is a sure specific for all stomach and intestinal disorders? that it has proved itself the best ot all liver regulators? August Flower has a ulalchles8 record of over thirty five years in curing the ailing millions of these distressing complaints a suc cess that is becoming wider in its scope very dar, at home and abroad, as the fame of August Flower spreads.
