The widow of a wealthy but irrev-

services of a noted preacher who lived
at a great distance from their town.
After the funeral she thanked the elo-
quent man for his long and beautiful
discourse. The minister said to her:
Madam, when I passed through your
town I noticed quite a number Of

Goldsboro, N. c., Sept. 2s.-There are
two boys in a neighborhood between
here and Princeton that are a puzzle
to the people in the community. They
came here about two Or three months
ago and have been living with Roger
Pearce and Dave Ingram The boys are
but twelve or fourteen years old and
thew claim to have come from an or
phan asylum in Raleigh. They have
told different people different stories
as to where they came from. 1t is
thought that they ran away from home
or from some orphan institution. and
the people with whom they are living
are simply taking care Of them for
what they can get out of them.

ny, which now holds a ease on the At
lantic and North Carolina railroad.
does not intend hat anyone else shall
be killed by the covered bridges over
hat road. The killing OF h two sol
diers before the Rowland Company got
hold Of the road has caused the compa-
ny to provide against such Occurren-
ces in the future and looking to that
end the covers will be taken of the
bridges at once and the structures re-
placed by modern steel bridges. There
are only two covered bridges on the
road at present. One is over Stoney
creek, just outside of the corporate
limits of this city, and n other is over
a small stream just this side of New
Bern.

Badly Mixed up

While returning from flower
gathering excursion up Mitchell creek
to Thompson's ranch, Sunday, Walter
Cohagan and his friend young Camp
bell, two fifteen year old boys, were
the victims Of runaway accident.
They were in cart and Cohagan was
driving. There was a rock in the
road which failed to get out Of the
way at the approach of the rig and
the boys ran over it. As the vehicle
swayed, Walter lost his grip on the
reins and was thrown from the wagon,
and in attempting to get hold of them
young Campbell was kicked in the
side and at first it was thought that a
couple Of ribs we're broken but upon
further investigation it was found
that he had sustained only severe
bruises.
The horse, in the mix-up, broke one
Of its front legs at the ankle but the
cart retained its physical contour
without damage.
The mare was Jennie, one of the
favorite drivers in Cohagan's livery
and WAS valued at $3.50. Mr. Cohagan
turned the mare over to W. NJ. Con-
nelly, who will care for her while the
broken leg is healing and will use her
for breeding purposes.
The boys were not badly frightened
although they expected something to
happen when they got back home.
They were happily disappointed as no
birch rod or implement of any kind
was Forthcoming. Guess the boys
will watch out hereafter for any OBJ.

Triumphs Of Modern Surgery

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scrsped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced: pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises. burns and like injn-
ries before inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura-
ton and in one third the time requir-
ed by the old treatment. Chamber
lain's Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and money
not to mention the Inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries entail.
For sale by all dealers.

CHUNKS OF HARMONY
Democrats in County Con.
venti0n Endorse Senator
Taylor And Condemn
Peabody

NAOONy
The Democratic county convention
was held Saturday at New Castle and
seven delegates selected to attend the
state convention. The delegates are
Senator Taylor, E. E Drach, S. ].
DeLan, c. A. Hahn, C. NJ. Donnell,
W. NJ. Dinkel ana Mrs. s. B. STREET.
In calling the convention to order
the county chairman. Senator E. T.
Taylor, made a short speech in which
he congratulated the party upon the
accession of certain prominent mem.
bers Of the populist party who were
present as delegates. Appeal was
also made to the labor element to sup.
port the democratic party in return
for the love and sympathy which that
party has toward the man who can
deliver q vote. To hi, own satisfac-
tion he convinced himself that Clover
nor Peabody as representative of the
republican party had not been q fail
ure in his efforts to stamp out the
1awless element in the state Of Colo
RADIO and accused the administration
Of being one of monarchial tendencies
Senator Taylor further practically
admitted the hopelessness of the cause
which ne advocated 80 far as the pres
idential candidates are concerned as
the popularity of Theodore Roosevelt
was 80 great that the opposition to
his candidacy would have but little
show.
The call for the convention was
read by Secretary Rudasill after which
A X Brown was selected as chair
man; but. being unable to perform
the duties OF the Office, Senator Taylor
filled his place.
The election of Mr.. Brown WAS in
recognition of his long service to the
party, the date being his seventy sec
ond birthday anniversary.
Mrs. Alice Clark was chosen tenn
porary secretary and later made per-
manent secretary by the convention.
Senator Taylor was made vice chair
man.
AHo ucicShtcs went vi TcCOTu Ms U6-
ing opposed to the policy Of Governor
Peabodys administration and adopted
resolutions condemning 1t. The con
vention did not declare for any par
ticular candidate for president but it
is generally presumed that delegates
to the state convention are favorable
to Hearst.
About the only affirmative declara-
tion in the resolutions was the endorse
ment given to Mr.. Taylor for his
services as state senator and the pledge
Of support for a re nomination.
The other acts Of the meeting we're
mostly against-everything. Har.
mony seemed to prevail. there being
only a single contesting delegation
which failed to present its credentials
to the proper committee.
The state convention Is to be held
in Pueblo, June one week from next
Tuesday and 1t is expected that every
member Of the delegation will attend.
