1T is EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not anxious about their health soon
enough. If you are mot quite well''
or half sick have you ever thought
that your kidneys may be the cause OF
your sickness
It is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty four hours: a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy con-
dition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble Too frequent desire to uri-
nate, scanty supply, pain Or dull ache
in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy DR., Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulflls every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all
forms OF bladder and urinary troubles.
Not only does Swamp Root give new
life and activity to the kidneys-the
cause of the trouble bUG by treating
the kidneys it acts as a tonic for the
entire constitution. If you need a
medicine take Swamp Root-it cures.
You may have sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
Mention this newspaper and send
your address to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. The proprietor
of this paper guarantees the genuine
ness of this offer.

SHOT ON HIS WEDDING MORN
The Father Objected to the Pros
pective Bride.

Baltimore, Sept. 24.-A weds
ding which was to have taken
place last night has been prevented
by the bridegroom being shot by
his father, who opposed the union.
Last night Robert Stevens, in
stead of leading Miss Emma Mill
bourne to the altar, was writhing
in pain on a bed in the Maryland
University Hospital, and his in
tended bride was weeping by his
bedside. Josiah Stevens, aged "a
years, who did the shooting, is in
Jail pending the result of his sons
injuries. He is nearly crazy with
grief and remorse. The family
came here from Talbot county,
and is we'll known On the Eastern
Shore.
The trouble over the intended
marriage began Thursday. Young
Stevens had been paying his at :
tentions TO Miss Millbourne for
some time, although his father and
sisters were opposed to the alli-
lance He had laughed at their
opposition, and told his sisters that
he intended to be MAJ ried and that
he would bring his bride to his
home. They objected, and Mrs.
Willison told the father.
Yesterday morning after break
fast, while all stood about the
table, Mrs. Willison brought up
the matter. The elder Stevens
stated that his son should not
bring his bride to the house. The
young man accused his sister of
poisoning his fathers mind
against Miss Milbourne. She
denied it, and he struck her a
blow in the face. She recoiled
and her father sprang at his son
with a revolver drawn.
AS the son turned he received
a shot in the back. He cried out:
'Ycu have shot me. but I don't
blame you." Then the father
rushed to the back door, exclaim-
ing, "I'll kill myself" His two
daughters caught the pistol just
as he had placed it at his head.
The shot alarmed the neighbour
hood and the police promptly re
moved the wounded man to the
hospital.

IN MEMORIAM

On the morning of July 30,h.
at the home of her son Sheriff B.
F. Scott, in this city, just as the
beautiful summer day was
brightly dawning, surrounded by
sorrow stricken relatives and
friends, Mrs. Bethany Scott
quietly passed away from earth
to return no more, in the seventy
first year Of her age, and we
have reason to believe her gems
tie spirit took its flight to man
slons above to forever dwell III
the peaceful presence of Him
whom she had SO long and faith
fully served in life.
About three years ago sne suf-
fered a st oka OF paralysis which
rendered her perfectly helpless
and when the whites winged
messenger" came on that beauti~
full morning he stole not upon
her unawaree, nor did he find
her unprepared for the summons.
All that kind friends aud med
ical skull could do was done for
her recovery but without avail,
for death had stamped his mig hty
seal upon her. Her suffering W; S
great but she bore it without a
murmer or complaint. She was
perfectly res; gned to the will of
her Redeemer. Death seemed to
haYe no terror for her.
About 80 years ago she joined
the Primitive Baptist church at
Memorial, where she remained a
true and faithful member unto
death. Her seat there was never
vacant at no service unless pr v
ividentlally hindered. In many
respects she was remarkable
woman, and such a life as she
lived deserves more than Just a
passing notice. She was good
neighbor, loving mother, fond
and faithful friend and an exems
pIary christian. When she was
married about so years ago she
and her husband, the late Mr.. 2.
B Scott. began life in the hum.
blest circumstances and in a
few years they had accumu-
lated quite considerable
amount of wealth, which was
largely due to her perseverance
and untiring energy. He funeral
was preached on Saturday morn
ing July 31st, at 10 O'Clock at her
old plantation home in Great
Swamp township, where she had
spent all of her best years, by FL
der John w. Gardner, of this
city, and was attended by large
concourse of sorrowing relatives
and friends. Her remains were
inferred in the beautiful and neatly
kept family graveyard to await
the resurrection morn.
Thou art sleeping, sweetly sleeping
With loved ones gone before,
By and by we hope to meet thee
Where parting will be no more.

Now the head of the house is
gone. But Gods children can

had been in poor health for sev~
era months, and his death was
no: unexpected. The funeral SCI $
vices were conducted by Rev. A.

made at Willow Dale Cemetery
this city. The deceased was 81
years of age. He was member of

and was buried with the honors
of the order.
OUR esteemed contemporary.
the Wilmington Messenger is in
error in it's statement that Hon.
G. B. Aycock has been appointed
District Attorney ad interim by
thePresident. Mr.. .Aycock was ap
pointed by the Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court,
Chief Justice Fuller. until Presi

The congregation of St. Ste

city, as we'll as his host of friends
among the public generally, will
regret to learn of the resignation
of Rev. Stewart Mcqueen as rec
tor of that parish Mr.. Mcqueen
is one of the most able and bril-
liant men that has ever occupied
that rectory and he has been ac-
lively connected with the charit-
able institutions Of Goldsboro :.
These will greatly miss his wise
counsels and material aid, his con-
gregation will sadly feel the loss
of their beloved rector and friend
and spiritual advisor, and the
community at large will deplore
the loss of an active Christian
gentleman. His resignation has
been rendered to the vestry of st !.
Stephens to accept the rectory OF
one of the largest Episcopal
churches in Mobile, Alabama. The
best wishes of all our people 60
with him and his family to their
new home.
