A Sudden Death.

Miss Lima, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs
E. Gardner, died at their home in
Greenwood a s o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, September 20, aged % years. She
was in her usual health, ate breakfast
and was sweeping the house when she
fell in a convulston. Her father was
called in and she was placed in bed
and 1t was thought the attack had
passed off when he went out about his
work. Soon he was called to the
house again and when he reached her
she was dead.
She had beet, an epileptic from early
childhood, but her health had been
unusually good recently. She was a
most industrious girl and was always
ready to turn her hand to any task to
relieve her mother. She was dutiful
and good and her death has caused
great sorrow in the home in which
she was Joy and delight to all.
The death was as surprising as it
was sudden. The sympathy OF the
many friends OF the family goes out to
them in this their time OF grief. The
body was inferred In the Kehukee GEM
etery this morning at 10 O'Clock, Rev.
J. E. Holden conducting the service.

THE COTTON SEED OIL MILL.

Work on the cotton seed oil mill is
progressing rapidly and the plant will
soon be ready Tor business.
The capacity will be forty tons OF
iced per day. A modern and complete
gin will be run in connection with the
oil mill. It will be "rapld-fire" con-
corn. A farmer will carry his cotton
to the gin and in fifteen minutes after
bis cart or wagon is driven under the
suction pipes his cotton Will be bsled
and on his wagon ready to be carried
to the cotton yard. The cotton will
not be handled at all except by ma
chinery. IT a farmer wishes to keep
the seed OF any particular bale OF COT
ton separate, he will only have to stop
his cart under the tube through which
they will be "snaked" to the seed pile
and let them drop in.
Every modern convenience will be
in operation and the enterprise will be
a pleasing addition to the business OF
the town, as we'll as great convenience
and help to the farmers of the COM
munity.
The men at the head of it--Mess.
Jno. Coughenotir, Hoffman, Mcdowell
and Stuart, insure its success.
Mr.. Coughenour will be on the spot
to look after the work, and Mr.. Stuart
has had several years experience in the
business.
THE CottMoNWEALfH has been say
ing for several years that a cotton seed
oil mill is one OF the greatest needs OF
Scotland Neck, and it IL now q great
pleasure for us to be able to give to the
public this pleasing information con-
corning an Enterprise which this paper
has advocated for d long time.

Assaulted IN the Dark.

LAST Saturday night colored bo,
named jim Simmons attempted to
steal ride at tho r1er:y-go-round and
Mr.. Dickens, one OF the young mer
in charge, took him off. Later Mr..
Dickens in company with some other
young men was going up the street
towards the opera house. Just as he
passed the corner of Riddick and
Hooker's store, some one threw a brick
from the alley, struck Dickens on the
side of the head and knocked him
down.
The assallants passed out back OF
Riddick and Hooker's store and were
heard to run towards the cross street
leading to Church street.
Soon earnest search was made for
them and Jim Simmons, the boy who
was taken from the nlerry-go-round an
hour or two before was arrested under
a warrant sworn out before Justice B.
F. Gray.
At first he would make no confession
but later confessed it all and was sent
to Jail to await trial.
Two other boys we're with him and
later they were arrested but said they
had nothing to do with throwing the
brick and tried to get Simmons not to
do it. When he thew the brick they
ran because he did.
They we're dried before DR.. A. G.
Livermon Monday and bound over to
court in a bond OF 800.
