On Thursday, August 9th, yourg
Lynwood Darden, son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
w. P. Darden OF this place, was hunt
ing with colored man near Neal on
Roanoke river. In trying to punch
from hollow log crippled squirrel
the gun in the hands OF Peter Davis,
the colored man, was fired, and the
discharge of his gun struck Lynwood's
gun causing it to be discharged also.
The load of shot took effect in the
front part of his body, good part lodg-
ing in the abdomen.
DR.. J. P. Wimberly happened to be
near the place on call to patient
and was soon summoned to the scene
of the accident and rendered what tenn
porary relief he could. AS soon as ar
rangements could be made the young
man was brought to Scotland Neck.
He reached town about 10 o'clock at
night. A special train was in readiness
and he was taken to the Pittman Hos
pital IN Tarboro, accompanied by his
father, DR.. Wimberly, J. A. Kitchln, G
III. johnson and D. P. Stern. An oper-
alton being performed it was ascertained
that his chances for recovery were very
slim, if he had any at all. He had the best

cessions to the cemetery seen here in 6
long time.
The boy was sixteen years old and The

feigned sorrow is felt and freely express

here and elsewhere. The sorrowins

MR.. BROUGHroN ON PRoHIBI-
TON,
Successfully Answered Whlskey Ar
guments.

On Thursday night August 9th,
Mr.. N. B. Broughton of Raleigh, adj
dressed the people of Scotland Neck on
the subject of temperance and prohibi-
ton. It was an open-air meeting, hold
in Mr.. g. w. Bryan's grove on Church
street, and good audience greeted Mr..
Broughton and greatly enjoyed the oc-
casion.
Mr.. Broughton has long been an
active temperance worker in the State
and his influence has been felt all
through the State wherever he has
gone. He was at his best Thursday
night, which means much for he is
quite pleasing platform speaker. He
came to Scotland Neck to speak III the
interest of prohibition and ibis speech
had the effect of confirming many in
their convictions for prohibition and
changing some who did not believe in
it.
Mr.. Broughton successfully and fully
answ cred the arguments used by the
whiskey people against prohibition
showing by example and illustration in
the towns he-bas visited In North
Carolina that prohibition not only does
not hurt the business of town but is
a means and medium of prosperity.
MIR. Broughton made special reference
to the town of Keenansville as an illus
tration of what prohibition does for a
town. He has recently visited that
town and the declaration of many peo-
pie there, he said was that the town and
community are far more prosperous
than when they had open saloons He
met other arguments against prohibit
ton and made an appeal to the good
people of the town to maintain the
good name of the community by yot-
ing no license on the 18th of Septem-
Der. Mr.Broughton expressed the belief
that the prohibition forces will win,
and gave good words of encouragement
to that end.
It was strong and powerful speech
aud will bear good fruit right soon and
for long time to come.

His Last Hope Realized.

In the first opening Of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encoun-
tered much bad water, which together
with the severe heat. gave him very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al.
most impossible to check. and along
in June the case became so bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small
bottleo of Chamberlain 8 Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given him while he
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect
of the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight.
That one little bottle worked a COM
plete cul e, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel disor-
ders being at hand suggests this item

Editor Currie. OF the Telluride
Journal read most excellent paper
on the Boycott, at the editorial
meeting Monday at Glenwood. There
was nothing personal or abusive in the
paper, simply deductions and suggest
ions growing out of that popular
method of business murder among the
labor agitators. AS soon as he had
finished Senator Moore, of Florence,
who edits semi anarchist sheet, 30.
cured the floor for the purpose of de-
Tending his friend, Vincent st. John,
whom he insisted was not bad man
at all Some of his suggestions did
not at all please the brethren and it
was evident in few moments that
Moore was alone in his sympathy for
the fugitive from justice. The de-
bate was cut short in order that some
more important business could be con-
sidered. But the fact that the best
newspapers are not friendly to the
boycott was pretty we'll established.
