SICK UNTO DEATH
His Will Power Was of
No Avail.
Engaged in Hopeless Struggle, He
Found at Last Good Samaritan
Who Brought to Him Mighty
Aid.

When a disease as dangerous in its
effects as pneumonia and other fatal
| ills has you in its clutch, it is non
sense to endeavor to check it by will
! power" Your boosted strength and
| manhood is of no avail against its sure
steady and terrible advance. Mr.. q.
S. Bradshaw fully realized these
truths when he wrote the following
letter:
Drinking is a disease and like every
other dangerous disease needs to be
treated. 1t is all very well for the fell
low who has never been down to talk
about his will power" and boast
about his manhood" but the fellow
who has been sick unto death and hell
with this dread disease knows that
your will power" and manhood
topple and surrender under it's ravages
just as they do under pneumonia, and
other fatal ills. Treatment in the one
case IS as necessary as in the other
and delay is as risky in the one as in
the other and an institution for the
treatment of the one is as deserving
as hospital for the treatment of the
other. This / did not know until I
learned from actual experience. In
boyhood, through manhood, covering
my best years, | trusted to the eX-
plOded theory of twill power and
boosted manhood and was blinded
by false pride. / waged a battle of
twenty years. A red hot fight it was
from start to finish, today q vic
tory, tomorrow a helpless slave-up
one hour and down the next-and thus
ragged and thus waged my unequal
fight against the relentless foe until L
found myself its aptive-helpless,
hopeless and almost friendless; money
had gone, God knows, l know not
where. Credit lost, business shatter-
ed. character shaken, honor clouded,
the hearts of loved ones, crushed, de-
serted by every angel of my better
self, | felt the sting of death in the
icy contempt of both friend and foe
until a BROTHER Good Samaritan
showed compassion and lifted me into
the arms of that Savior of the fallen
the Kelley Institute. Under the kind
ly care of its faithful physician and
attendants | was warmed cheered
cured and lifted into a new life and a
new world. This picture is not two
years old, therefore. too recent and
too vivid to be oVerdraWn. And dur
ing these two years l have been
another man in another world with
the accursed demon at my feet.
Friends have come back and multi
piled; money business, character,
honor, hope and the joy of the devo-
ton of loved ones have returned and
increased a hundred fold.
Brother, if you have the drink or
drug habit, | swear to you that the
speed of the fastest train to the Keelev
institute is too SLOW.

clerk of the Federal court here by j.
G. Clifford, Esq, of Dunn, attorney loi
the petitioner.
The schedule shows nominal assets

one of the directors of this bank, suits
having been instituted by few deposl-
tors against the directors on account
of losses caused by the failure OF this
bank.
The remaining liabilities scheduled
are notes held by the Merchants d
Farmers Bank or it's correspondents
on which Mr.. Young is secondarily
liable.

CAUGHT IN HIS BED
Arrest of Granville Man
in Raleigh.
Charged With Disposing OF Mortgaged
Property, and Endeavoring to
Clear Out From Cred
itOrS.

young white man who farms near
Creedmoor in Branite county, G.. S.
Rogers by name. was arrested here
last night charged with making away
with mortgaged property.
The charge is made by Messrs.
Parham Bros, of Henderson, and
this morning young Rogers was taken
back to Henderson by Mr.. Walter
Crews, who came after him and by
Constable Jake Pope.
Rogers is said to have secured three
of four horses and a buggy and other
things from the Parhams on a mort
gage a few days ago and it was found
that most of the things had been sold
and that Rogers and his partner, Sam
Bullock had cleared out. Warrants
were taken out for both and Rogers
was arrested here last night. He had
one horse and buggy here and had
been spending the time here and in
Durham.
When Mr.. Crews came in yesterday
he met Rogers at the depot and took
a ride with him. The arrest was not
made till last night, when Rogers
was taken while asleep at his board
ing house, Mrs. PotterS, on Whining
ton street. He is regarded by Mr..
Crews as desperate and it was pre-
ferred to make the arrest quietly.

A NEGRO DROWNED
Was Boating at Penny's
Pond When Boat
Capsized.

Yesterday morning at about IL
o'clock Marmaduke Norfieet Dunns-
ton, a young colored man of about
thirty years, was drowned in Pen
ny's pond, six miles southwest of
Raleigh. Dunnston was out boating
i'm the pond with another negro,
considerable distance fro mthe BANK,
when the boat suddely struck snag,
and the men becoming excited 1T was
captized. Dunnston, after u few des-
perate struggles gave u pthe ghost,
being unable to swim. He made ter
rible efforts to keep above water and
endeaVored to catch hold of the OBJ
stacle projecting above the water but
all in vain, and he soon sank, not TO
rise to the surface again until he was
lifted out, dead. Joe Scarborough,
the man in the boat with him, was
totally incapable of 1isndering assist
ance made so by the wild efforts of
the drowning man, and narrowly eS-
capped death himself. The incident
directly attracted the attention of the
score of people upon the banks, who
heard the men shouting, and two men
were at once dispatched in a boat to
aid in rescuing the sinking man,
when their boat also capsized, and
they were compelled to swim ashore.
The BODY did not rise TO the sur
face. and soon after the accident oc-
CURED the pond was dragged. The
body was found after a few hours
dragging, and brought, to. Raleigh and
prepared for burial, after which it
was taken to the mans home in OBJ
erin
A large gathering of colored peo-
pie, men, women and children, were
at the pond when Dunnston was
drowned, the occasion being the an
nual picnic of the Colored First Bap-
fist church. There were nearly q
score of large wagons crowded with
happy negroes who attended the pic
mic, and when the crowd returned in
the afternoon the wagons were car
ried up Fayetteville street, while the
children yelled with irrepressible hap
piness and delight wholly uncon-
only Il few hours before that would
ordinarily MARI the peace and con-
tentment of the people on any oc>
casion. But the children screamed
their loudeSt, and waved their Sprigs
of holly and pine and cedar in d
frenzy of joy, and thought nothing OF
death.
The dead man was we'll known and
liked in Raleigh. and lived honorably
as q deserving man and efficient paint
err, at which trade he prospered, and
held the good will of the people who
knew him.
The funeral will probably be held
fro mthe Colored First Baptist
church today.

TEST FARM AGAIN
Committee Will Make
Their Final Selection
Today.

Commissioner of Agriculture ,. l..
Patterson returned from his nome IN
Caldwell county yesterday morning,
and left here in the afternoon for Will
mington. The Board of Agriculture
at a recent meeting appointed a COM
mittee to select a site for the eStaD-
lishment of an Eastern Carolina EX-
pertinent Trucking farm and the site
was to be representative of the coil of
the trucking sections of the East.
Innumerable places were suggested
for the location of the farm, ana
large numbers of sites were offered,
ranging from the South Carolina line
to the north of Elizabeth City. The
whole of the proposition was finally
reduced to three places, these being
Willard in Fender county; place
near Wilmington, and farm In the
vicinity of Fayetteville. After few
weeks consideration the situation at
Willard was agreed upon, and it was
announced that the final decision of
the committee had been made. How
ever the place had not been paid for,
and when the papers were requested
from the owner of the land, ana the
money proffered, the man refused to
effect the transfer, and negotiations
were opened the second time. Will

materially and financially, but after
long deliberation the committee set
upon another site near Willard, a lit
tie distance from the former farm To-
cation, and the land was purchased
and paid for and is now the property
of the State, being worked by a farm
superintendent, who was employed for
this purpose, and came to North Car
DINA from the University of Florida
especially to accept this position.
Shortly after the second decision
was announced Wilmington advocates
declared that that place had not been
treated SQuarely and fairly, that it's
proposals had not all been considered
properly, and that above all Whining
ton had newer and stronger induce
ments to offer than ever before, and
it was demanded that the matter be
opened again. This was done by
Commissioner Patterson.
The members of the committee
which has i'm charge the selection, are
Commissioner Patterson, State Chemist

DEWEY CASE UP.
Called for Trial at New Bern on Mex
Wednesday.

Despite expectations to the contrary
it now appears that the case against
Thomas w. Dewey, former cashier of
the Merchants and Farmers Bank al
New Bern will be tried at the July
term of Craven County court. Deputy
Sheriff Walters yesterday served no.
tice on Mr.. Josephus Daniels and
others in Raleigh to be present as wit
nesses next Wednesday.
When the case was called in May
counsel for Dewey called for a bill of
particulars, but this was not granted
by Judge Webb, presiding. Dewey S
counsel then asked that the case be
postponed till the July term next, this
because of the absence of important
counsel and witnesses. This was
granted by the judge. Later counsel
for Dewey appealed from the decision
of Judge Webb in not having the So
licitor file a bill of particulars and as
the appeal has not yet been heard by
the, Supreme Court, and could not be
heard till the fall term, it was not
supposed that the case would be call
ed till after this matter had been be-
fore the Supreme Court.
