''rof. J. P. Canaday, County Super
li indent of Schools, went to Kenly
M mday to attend the public debate
tli? re that night between Kenly and
Benson High schools. The query
discussed was "Should the United
States Government relinquish its
hold upon the Philippine Islands?"
The Kenly boys were victors In the
debate. The attendance was good
and the debating was of a high or- ' >
der. In the afternoon a game of j
ball was played between B< nsou and
Kenly. In this the Benson boys were . 1
the vl?tors. A large crowd of Ben- 1
son people attended.
We learn that at the Easter picnic
at Holt's pond last Monday some
careless person or persons, lighted a
cigarette and threw the match down
in the grass. This caused a (ire
which resulted in considerable loss,
perhaps amounting to a few hundred
dollars. The stocklaw fence above
the mill and other fences and tim
ber were burned. Our informant
says that those responsible for the
fire were imbibing freely.
The Revival at The Baptist Church.
Our revival, that has just closed,
has had a wonderful lnfulence upon
the church. So many had become In
different or inactive but the meet
ing quickened them into life. Rev.
Geo. T. Watkins, of the First church
Goldsboro, assisted me in the meet
ing. Bro. Watkins is a genuine pas
tor's helper. He does not weaken
the pastor's hold upon the people
like so many of the modern evange
lists, but he leaves him stronger. But
perhaps his spiritual gift is develop
ing the church. This he did wonder
fully. He preached the higher life
with power and many, through his
work, were led to "higher ground."
He is very spiritual, earnest, tender
and effective. He has no tricks in
his invitations, but rests in the pow
er of the Gospel to convict and save.
There were about ten conversions,
and so far five have united with the
church, three for baptism and two
by letter. They will be baptized
Sunday morning.
There were three things thaty made
the meeting memorable.
First, the attendance and interest
of all Christians irrespective of de
nominational affiliations. The at
tendance remained good for the whole
two weeks. I feel that this is a
harbinger of a better day.
Second, the music was full of life
and spirituality. It was not dead,
sleepy music, but it had power In
it. And I want to take this method
of thanking all the various singers of
the town who helped us. They added
much to the success of the meeting.
The punctuality of our organist and
leader is also to be commended. Miss
Julia Ives was present at every ser
vice but one.
Third, the deep spirituality of the
preaching at each service. Its in
fluence will live long and bear much
fruit.
These three things made the meet
ing memorable.?O. R. Mangum, In

DON'T EXPERIMENT
You Will Make no Mistake if You
Follow Thie Smithfield Citizen's
Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, uri
nary disorders, dizziness and nerv
ousness, it's time to act and no time
to experiment. These are all symp
toms of kidney trouble, and you
should seek a remedy which is known
to cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use. No need to experiment. It
has cured many stubborn cases in
Smithfield. Follow the advice of a
Smithfield citizen and be cured
yourself.
L. R. Waddell, Second St., Smith
field, N. C., says: "I can recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills very high
ly for any trouble arising from dis
ordered kidneys, having used them
and been convinced of their merit.
For a considerable length of time, I
suffered from dull, dragging pains
through my back, frequently chang
ing to sharp twinges. The secre
tions from the kidneys were very un
natural and from this, I decided that
my kidneys were at fault. After us
ing Doan's Kidney Pills a short time,
the backache was relieved and the
trouble with the kidney secretions
disposed of."
