70 Years with Coughs
We have had nearly seventy years of experience with
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. That makes us have great con
fidence in it for coughs, colds, bronchitis, weak throats,
and weak lungs. Ask your own doctor what experience
he has had with it. He knows. He can advise you
wisely. Keep in close touch with your family physician.

Wtfu nominated the Democratic
cicket in Johnston County, the peo
pic or The Charlotte Chronicle? We ^
note The Chronicle says: "When j
Th Chronicle suggested to Johnston (
1 C<mnty Democrats that they send j
Ashley Home to the Legislature to ^
keep company with such representa- f
??ive men as General Julian S. Carr
and Mr. A. H. Boyden It felt it was
going to do the State a good turn." j
We appreciate the good feeling The (
Chronicle has for our people as well ?
as the Interest of the State that it 1
has at heart, but ?e do not need J
suggestions as to who we shall nom- (
inate to carry our Democratic Han- t
ner to victory in November. Further 5
we wish to say that Colonel Ashley
Home had been in the minds and
hearts of the Johnston county for i
months before the convention, their 1
only fear was that he would not ac- t
cept the nominatisn which be de- I
clined to do until urgently pressed
to do so.

Death in Smithfield.
Mrs. Celia Allen died here last |
Monday at the home of her daugh
| ter, Mrs. J. C. Gordon. She was
i seventy-four years old and had been J
In very feeble health for four years. 1
For the past month It has been evl-1
| dent that the end was near. On [
i Tuesday her remains were taken tcr ]
Ayden, N. C., and carried out from
I there about six miles for burial to
the neighborhood where she was
reared. She was a sister of Mr. R.
j C. Cannon, a leading merchant of
Ayden, and was related to the Roun
trees of Greenville. Mr. and Mrs.
J. C. Gordon accompanied the re
mains to the place of burial.
Mr. Roberts Not Drunk.
Two weeks ago we published an !
account of Mr. Charley Roberts get-,
I ting badly hurt in a wreck on the |
(tram road of the Selma Lumber Com-.
pan.v. His injuries killed him and ;
he was buried Sunday, August 7th,
at the Peedin graveyard near Selma.
We are infored that it was a mistake
about his being drunk when the ac
cident occurred. It is said that he
has not drank much for for the past .
two years. He was a farmer in the
neighborhood where the accident oc
curred.
