INCEST WOMAN IN LONDON.
Mrs. Cornelia Adair Has Unique Title
in English Society.

London, May 19.-Mrs. Cornelia Wads-
worth Adair, the incest woman in Lon
dom" as she is often called, has become
such an integral part of London life
that people forget she is an American.
Mrs. Adair doesn't forget it, however,
nor does her sister, Lady Barrymore. So
when they bring out" Lady Barry
mores young daughter, Miss Post. this
month many American amusements
will mark the festivities.
Mrs. Adair went out to India for the
durbar as one of several guests invited
by Lord Kitchener, with whom she is a
prime favorite. This is only one of the
important social distinctions conferred
upon her during the last winter, for the
royal family are all fond of her. With
Lady Barrymore for a mother and Mrs.
Adair for an aunt Miss Post may be
reasonably certain of having a gay
young ladyhood.

ICAL CONDITION AT
THIS WRITING.
John Smith Comes Upon the Scene

Him Down in His
Tracks.

Daily Argus of Tuesday
John Smith shot Ed Scott in the
back last night about II O'Clock. The

On the ditch bridge and Smith and
the woman walked off together.
Scott remained where he had fallen
for an hour and was finally picked
up by a negro who CHANGED to be
passing the scene. Scott had weak
ened considerably from the loss of
blood. He was taken home but re-
ceived no medical attention until
he came down the street this morn
ing. After the doctor examined the
wound and tried to locate the bullet
without success, the negro began to
grow worse and is now in a critical
condition. Smith was located this
morning by officer Denmark out at

MR.. EVERETT SMITH DEAD.
He Passed Away Friday Morning of
Apoplexy at Smithfeld.


Apoplexy at Smithfeld.
ARGUS readers will be greatly sur
prised and panied to learn of the
sudden death Of Mr.. Everett Smith,
which occurred Friday a. m. at $3.50
O'Clock, of apoplexy, in Smithfield,
at the home of his nephew MI. w.
E. Stevens, whom he was visiting,
having left here in his WOnted good
health Tuesday afternoon.
MI. Smith was an old Wayne
county man, and up to the close of
the war lived and farmed in this
county, where all his children were
born. In 1865 he moved to Will
m1ngton; thence to Greensboro, and
subsequently went west, settling in
South Dakota, where he prospered
as a farmer, and where a son, Mr..
VIM. Smith, and a married daughter
survive him, residing in Mitchell.
His wife, who was a Virginian,
died some years ago, and is buried
in South Dakota.
Mr. Smith was Y years of age,
but very active for his years, and
was the candidate for Lieut-GOver-
nor of South Dakota on the Demo
cratic ticket in the last election. He
was the uncle of Sheriff Stevens and
Mr.. J. A. Stevens, of this city, with
the latter of whom he was making
his home while on his visit here,
and who left Friday morning fol-
Smithfeld on the early train.
Mr.. Smith was stricken Thursday
and was in even better health and
spirits than usual. He was greatly
enjoying his visit to his old home
here, meeting old friends and talk
ing over with them bygone days
He was a man of wide information
and took great interest in all public
affairs, but especially in matters af
fecting the farmers and the agricul
tural prospects of the country.
His son was telegraphed the
sad and sudden news in his far away
home in Mitchell, and the remains
of his father were embalmed await
ing instruction from him.

Much That Every Woman
Desires to Know
About Sanative Antisep-
tic Cleansing
And About Curing Lucrative
Pains and Weaknesses.

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Pills in the antiseptic cleans
ing of the mucous surfaces and of
the blood and circulating fluids, thus
affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening discharges, alterations, in
Examinations, itchings, irritations, relax
atoms, displacements, pains and irregu-
larities peculiar to females. Hence the
Cuticura remedies have a wonderful
influence in restoring health, strength
and beauty to weary women, who
have been prematurely aged and in
valided by these distressing ailments,
as well as such sympathetic affections as
anamia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous
ness and debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Millions of the worlds best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, for preserving, purifying
and identifying the skin, for cleansing
the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruf,,
and the stopping of falling hair, for
softening, whitening and soothing red,
rough and sore hands, in the form of
baths for annoying irritations, inflam-
nations and Lucrative weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
well as for all the purposes of the
toilet, bath and nursery.
