terrific nervousness that at times l was

and continued to drench my system with
this drug. Finally l got so bad / could
not sleep, my limbs were weak ard

some impending danger and the many
medicines l tried failed to help me at all.
''Onc day friend told me what Pos
tum had done for her husband and adj
vised NE to quit coffee and try it but l
would not do SO. Finally another friend
met me on the street one day and after
talking about my health he said You. try
Postum Cereal Coffee and leave coffee
alone, adding that his nervous troubles
had all disappeared when he gave up
coffee and began to drink Postum.
This made such great impression
on me that 1 resolved to try it, although
l confess 1 had little hopes. However I

CUT The THROAT
OF HER HUSBAND
immoral Conduct of Post
master at SmithfieId.
GAE UNFAITHFUL WIFE
Sne Wanted to BE- Sanctif.d and Told of Her
Sin in Church---POstmaster Massey Tries
10 Settle With the Husband
for 5000.

smithfield is all agog and the good PEG
pie Of that place are deeply mortified that
it should be the scene of an immoral oc
currence.
The postmaster, a Republican officer
| is J. D. Massey and his conduct with d
woman of the place, her subsequent eX
posure of it and the exciting events fol
lowing this has caused the trouble.
The woman in the case is a married wo
man, who some time ago came to Smith
field with her husband, who is sewing
machine agent. He was frequently away
from home, and it was during these alb
sences that the intimacy of Massey and
the woman fiourished.
But the woman attended religious meet
ings, where sanctification was sought and
tried to become sanctified, but she said
she had failed to get the blessing. Finally
at one melting. while there was a crowd
praying for her, she created great excite
ment and comment by telling that it was
a secret sin that stood in the way and
that tn S was her continued intimacy with
Postmaster Massey.
Pandora s box of trouble and Massey and
his friends are reported to have tried to
hush the matter up 1t is stated as a
fact that 5000 was paid the woman and her
husband to stop the matter, and that
they agreed to do so.
But the money caused more trouble, for
the woman was not satisfied with the dis.
position her husband made of the cash
he had received as a balm for her dishonor
inasmuch as she did not receive as large
a part of it as she thought ought to be her
share
The couple quarreled and in the night
time the unfaithful wife arose and secured
knife. She went to the bed and made
a desperate attempt to murder her hus
band. slashing his throat badly, but his
struggles when aroused and the aid of a
physician have saved his life.
The shocking charges of immortality
against Postmaster Massey aroused the
community and charges were lodged in
Washington against the postmaster by
prominent citizens of Smithfield. In ad-
dition to this Representative E. w. Pou
has taken the case in hand and asks the
removal of Massey for the good of the
service. A postoffice inspector is looking
into the matter will soon make a report
to the Postoffice Department.
The people of Smithfield want it to be
understood that the woman in the case
has only been in Smithfield a short time,
and that little is known of her by the peo-
pie of that place.

TWO THEORIES
OF The ESCAPE
Authorities Think Convicts
Hiding in Building.
NO DIRECTORS MEETING
Illness Prevented Quorum at Special Meeting
YesterdaY---Sup', Mann Says Collision
With 6uarCs is No Sus-
pected.

There are two theories as to the tw,
convicts who were missed at the State'
Prison on Sunday, Sept. Is. One, ant
this is the theory of the management 0
the prison, is that they never have gone
out from the walls, and are now hid some
where in the penitentiary building. The
other is that they escaped by collision Will
some of the guards. OF this latter theory
there Is no evidence whatever and tht
prison management suspect no one.
The special meeting of the Board of Di
rectors of the States Prison, which was tC
have been held yesterday to make an ex
ANIMATION into the recent escapes from the
prison, has been postponed, and the mat
ter will be gone into at the next regular
meeting Of the directors. on October 1st
as there was lot a quorum present yester-
ds-.
Mr.. j. P. Carr and Mr.. J. T. Hooks,
were the only members of the board who
attended the meeting Mr.. Crosslands'
son was too Ill for him to leave home, and
tie other two directors were both too I'M
well to be able to attend.
This special meeting was called at the
request of the management OF the prison,
in the hope that by a strict examination
the means of escape or the hiding place
OF the missing conviets might be discov-
cred
News and Observer reporter called on
Supt. Mann yesterday and asked if any
trace of either Medlin or Rice, the escaped
convicts, had been found. Supt Mann
said that there had not.
1T has been reported that the manage
ment think it possible these conviets are
IN hiding somewhere within the walls; is
that true?" asked the reporter
''Fsatsis our theory" said Supt. Mann,
THAT is the theory upon which we are
working, and every possible loop-hole of
escape is being carefully watched. All pre-
cautions are. being taken.''
Us it thought possible that there was
collision with any of the guards?'' sug-
gested the reported.
THAT is a possibility said Supt
Mann, but it Is not considered proba-
biity of any means. There is absolutely
no suspicion Of any one employed about
the prison. and if they had any confed-
crates among the other convicts, they are
as silent as the grave.
I'VE have here" continued the Superin-
tendent, ''some of the sharpest and shrewd-
est men IN the tate, and the two miss
ing convicts were among the shrewdest of
them all. However, 1 hope soon to be
able to give you the story of their re-
capture within these very walls them

CRUELTY TO DUMB ANIMALS.
Raleigh Young Lady Calls Attention to Some
Incidents.

To the Editor.-Can't something be
done to prevent cruelty to the poor
dumb animals in the streets of our city?
I This is a question that often presents
itself to me, as / suppose it does to many
others.
And so it goes on and on, but SO seldom
is any one arrested or fined for abusing
brute that these cruel people seem to
forget there is a law prohibiting such
treatment. How often do we see a poor
frame of horse" with bones almost
penetrating the skin, blind and with
many scars that tell of the mistrcatment
of by gone-days drawing a load entirely
too heavy that has been placed upon
him by hard-harted cruel driver, whip
ping and flashing as though the animal
Lad no feeling.
But several days ago on one of our
principal streets, l was attracted by the
lashing of a whip and turned to see the
cause of it. Here was a driver who had
abused his horse until it was nervous and
didn't know what to do, and in fact the
man, so overcome with anger acted as
though he scarcely knew where he wanted
to go, would drive few yards for
ward, then backward and finally sue
ceeded in jerking the horse down on his
Knees on the pavement.
Now I don't think all drivers misuse
the horses for l have seen some who
we're very kind and patient. Let us all
remember that in feeling God created the
horse next to man, and may we ask those
in authority to help put stop to the
abuse of our faithful. speeches. friends
