There was "blood on the moon" in
upper Johnson last week, as indicat
ed by several encounters more or less
sanguinary. Some belligerent per
sons made attacks on a teacher and a
merchant, resulting in some blood
shed; but at last accounts peace has
spread her wings over the scene of
conflict.
Our townsman. Mr. Eugene Stev
ens, while on a visit to Selma, last
Sunday, had an exciting experience
with a runaway horse. It seems that
Mr. Stevens hired a livery rig and
went out to , well, we don't know
where; but at any rate, the horse ran
away and tore up the buggy pretty
badly and threw mud and water all
over Mr. Stevens, nearly ruining his
clothes. We did not learn whether
Mr. Stevens was driving with one
hand or not at the time of the run
away.

SELMA NEWS.
j Last Saturday William Gray and
William Hawry were arrested here for
breaking into and robbing a store and
the post oiiice at i\hoyton, IWilaon
county, by our police at the request of
the county authorities at Wilson. It
is strange how little things point to
the guilty parties. It seems that as
a policeman of Wilson was going to
Saratoga, Wilson county, to arrest a
man, he passed, a few miles from
Moyton, two strange negroes walk
ing. The next day the policeman
heard that the store at Moyton had
been robbed the night before. Remem
bering that he had passed two strange
negroes a few miles from Moyton he
went to look for them and found that
two strange negroes had taken the
early morning train at Black Creek
for Goldsboro, so he fallowed them
there and found that they had gone
to Selma. When he reached Selma he
gave a description of them to our chief
j who decided they must be William
Gray and Will Hawry. After a little
w^iile he located them in an old field
just out of town, gambling. They
had been in a prize house gambling,
but shortly before the officers started
to arrest them, went to the woods.
The officers surrounded them and
caught five; but, as there was nothing
against any but Will Gray and Will
j Hawry the others were released. Will
| Gray had a pistol and a little money,
j nearly $3, which was thought to be
some of the money taken from the
store at Moyton, as they were of an
cient date and such had been taken
from the store. It is talked here that
one of the negroes arrested confessed
that a few days ago the other one
had stolen a crow-bar with which to
wreck one of the Southern's trains. ir
| It can be proven, hanging is too good
for him. A few months ago as the
10:36 Southern train was going to
Raleigh a freight car loaded with
[ valuable merchandise rolled down the
side track of the new yard just in
time for the Southern train to strike
i It, causing a bad wreck; but, for
tunately no one was hurt. Now Wil
liam Gray lives only about one hun
dred yards up the hill from where the
j wreck was. No one knows how much
I was stolen from the car for It was
made kindling wood of, and is it not
possible that this negro started t
car just at the right time to cause
the wreck? Will Gray was sent to
Wilson for robbing the store and Will
Hawry sent to Smithfleld jail for
stealing the crow-bar with which to
wreck the train.

Thanksgiving to see the game of foot

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH
Hyomei, the Only (iuaranteed Cure
tor Catarrh.
No one should confound Hyomei with
the patent medicines that are advertised
to cure catarrh, it in an far superior to
them all as the diamond is more valua
hie than cheap glass. Their composi
tion is secret, but Ilyomei gives its for
mula to all reputable physicians and is
prescribed by them generally. ?
its base is the valuable eucalyptus oil,
famous for its antiseptic qualties. This
is combined with auromatic and heal
ing gums and balsams, making a pure
liquid which, when used in the hyomei
pocket inhaler, fills the air you breathe
with germ-killing, disease distroying
and healing powers that restore healtn
to every part of the nose, throat and
lungs.
The only way to cure catsi rh and all
other diseases of the respiratory organs is
to breathe Hyomei. ^
This treatment has been so successful
in curing 99 per cent of all who have
used it. thatjllyomei is now sold by Hood
Bros, under an absolute guaiantee to re
fund the money in ease it does not bene
fit. You run no risk whatever in buy
ing Hyomei. It it did not possess no
usual powers to cure, it could not be
sold upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
? 1.U0 and comprises an inhaler, a bottle
of Hyomei ami a cropper. The inhaler
will last a lifetime; and aditional bottles
of Hyomei can be obtained for i>Oc at

Eggs Carried Seventeen Ytiles
Lying Loose in a Babcock

Several weeke ago a well known !
citizen of this town, whose name
will be given to those who care
to call and aek, drove up to rn\
place of business and called me
and asked me to look in the back
of his buggy. He has a Babcock
Buggy. What do you think 1
saw there? This citizen stated to
me that he had driven seventeen
miles since he left home. In the '
back of thaWiuggy I.saw a curry
comb, a horse brush, a buggy
wrench, and six or eight nice I
fresh hen eggs lyinr loose and j
not one broken. He told me, and j
he will tell you, that his liens
layed those eggs in his Babcock
buggy and that he neglected to
take them out when he started
on this 17-mile drive. How is j
that for an easy spring?
