Ten Years Lost Out OF
His Life.
Mr.. BeaVanS Tells the Wonderful
Story of New Life Which
Began Twelve Years

An Enfield gentleman writing of an
incident of vital interest which oc-
CURED twelve years ago, says;
little over twelve years ago | en-
tered the Kelley Institute at Green's
boro, n. c., a much emaciatcd speci-
men of humanity, having been under
the influence of liquor ten or more
years. During the first three days
ate next to nothing; had no appetite
whatever. The manager of the dining
department, seeing that i did not eat
kindly, took me aside and told me
where | could get milk at all hours.
Milk was all l wanted. The fourth
night at supper my appetite gradually
came to me, and, before leaving the
table, l had eaten very heartily. Arts
ing from the table l went directly to
the doctors room and told him | had
eaten enough to satisfy three men and
was afraid it would make me sick He
gave me spoonful of pepSin, and as
Sured me that L would suffer no in
convenience, and l did not. Slept
sweetly and soundly that night, and
rose next morning feeling like a two
ycar-old, as some of the boys used to
say, and l am proud TO say that at no
time since the return of my appetite
on that eventful night have | had the
least thirst for strong drink. 1 go
where it is often, but don't want and
have not tasted anything that would
intoXiCate since leaving the Institute,
Wonder, wonder, how so much could
be accomplished in so short a time!
The remaining portion of my stay was
one of pleasure. My advice to all I'M
fortunates is to go at once to Green's
boro. n. c., and take the Kelley Treat
ment. The treatment is pleasant, ana
the cure permanent to those who want
to be cured Don't think as | did thai
you will have to be thrown in with a
lot of roughs. Far from it. as none
but those who had been gentlemen
take the treatment. | say had been
gentlemen, because no man can be a

Race.
(staff CORRESPONDENCE

Aberdeen, n. c., June 23.--No small
town along the line of the Seaboard
road south of Raleigh is moving for
showing better or more favorable signs
of future development than the little
town of Aberdeen. Recently the Aber-
deem q Rockfish Railroad, owned and
operated by Mr.. John Blue, was ex-
tended till now it touches Hope Mills
on the main track of the Atlantic Coast
Line. his new road now connecting
Hope Mills OH the Coast Line and
Aberdeen on the SeabOard, is about
forty miles long and serves as mos.
valuable transfer between these two
parallel and competing roads. Mr..
Blue is now operating a double daily
passenger train over his road, the ser
vice of which is quick, ready ana con-
venicnt, greatly facilitating the pas
senger and other Iic between the
two roads.
This road enters Aberdeen from the
East Entering Aberdeen from the
West we find the Aberdeen and Asnc
boro Railroad. owned and operated by
tho Messrs. Page. This ROAD also has
q double daily passenger service con-
Meeting Aberdeen with High Point on
the Southern. With these connections
Aberdeen is now made "A competing
point. for the Coast Line, Seaboard ana
Southern, and as a result of these new
and increased railroad connections
freight rates are lower, the service is
better, business is increasing and the
signs of progress arc to be seen in
many ways.
Inc Aberdeen e Rock1ish Railroad
has lately completed a new and hand
some two-story brick building, which
is used for a passenger depot and gen
eral Office of the railroad. The Alfred
6, Ewing Company has just completed
and is now occupying two-story
brick store building in which they arc
carrying a nice, select stock of gen
cral merchandise. A ten thousand
dollar sash and blind factory has late
~ been completed and is now running
on full time, ready to fill orders from
all sections of the country and give
low freight rates to all points.
The public spirit of the town is none
the less mindful of its duty with these
new and increased advantages and inn
provements. The streets have never
been in so good Il condition. White,
mellow electric lights already CLEAN
in every nook and corner of the
town and soon water will be furnished,
anording a sewerage system. the plans
for which are now being developed.

Efforts to capture William Henry
Smith, an escaped convict from the
chain gang of Wayne county. Smith
is Il notorious, desperate and violent
criminal, and the sheriff had several
deputies and assistants, all we'll armed,
to assist him.
An examination shows that Bass was
completely riddled with buck shot

eral entered the back of his head. lie
died in about two minutes after it was
found out that he was shot. 1t all oc-
Cured in the dark and several SHOTS
were fired. 1t seems that Smith was
up and apprehending trouble; it. is not
known who nor how many were there
to assist him in resisting the attack
of the officers.
At present it is not known who did
the fatal shooting, whether it was al
accidental shot by one of the sheriff $
posse or by some one stationed on
the outside OF the negro's hut to pre-
vent the arrest of Smith. 1t is report
ed here today that the posse became
scattered or divided and no one knows
who dealt the death-dealing shot. The
facts in full will doubtless come out
before the coroner's inquest.
The scene of this sad affair was III
what is called the meek" section be-
between the Cape Fear river and the
Beaver Dams and also between Upper
and Lower Little rivers. The negro
house is situated in cotton feld and
an orchard surrounds the house.

He was highly regarded here and mis-
death is greatly deplored. He leaves q
