A boy SCOUT SAVES The
LIFE OF A COMPANION,
Jimmie Lawrence BfaveIy ReScues
Enoch Davenport From Drowning.

Thursday afternoon Of last week
while in bathing with several other
boys at Smiths mill, Enoch Daven-
port, lad about IA years of age,
came near being drowned. He be-
ing fairly good swimmer had made
several trips across the pond and
had started over again. When
about half way he became exhaust
ed and called for help. The boys on
the shore at first thought he was
joking, but they soon saw that he
was in distress.
Edward Lewis. who is about the
same size of the Davenport boy,
rushed as soon as possible to his aid |,
and succeeded in getting him al
most to safety when he became ex-
hausted himself and was forced to
abandon the drowning boy to save
his own life. The other boys saw
that additional help was needed and
rushed in the water. Jimmie Law
renee, who is said to be an excellent
swimmer, without hesitation and at
the risk of his own life, fastened to
the rescue Of the drowning boy,
reaching him just as he was about
to disappear for the last time.
After heroic struggle in the wa.
ter, Jimmie succeeded in getting
his companion to safety before the
other boys could reach him, they al
being small and not very gooC
swimmers.
When Davenport reached the
shore he was completely exhausted
and but for the prompt action Of the
Boy Scouts present would probably
have died from exhaustion and hav
ing his lungs filled with water
Though all the Boy Scouts presen
had been drilled in the first aid
exercises taught by the organiza
ton, Ennis Bryan was perhaps NOR,
familiar with what to do under tn,
circumstances than the others, AM
ne promptly took charge of the boy
It was through his efforts and skill
that young Davenport was finall
resuscitated and brought back t
life.
All the boys have been highl
commended for their heroic self-fo1
getfulness in the time of the dis
tress of companion, but to Edwar
Lewis, Jimmie Lawrence and Enni
Bryan young Davenport owes hi
life. and especially to Jimmie Law
renee, who at the imminent risk {
his life went to the boy's assistanc
without a thought Of anything say
the rescue Of companion.
Here is a direct demonstration {
the great benefits Of the Boy Scout
movement in the community, an
the people Of Scotland Neck shoul
give to this band Of boys all the al
in their power to further the O.
ganization and to keep up interes

The boys have a plan on foot no

In the last issue of the Era
Leader an ad on the first page
was signed columbia Bank"
instead of "Citizen's National
Bank" of Columbia, Miss.
We call special attention to
this correction since there is a
Columbia Bank, but it is not a
Regional Bank and neither does
it guarantee it's deposits, while
the CT items Bank of Columbia
is a well established bank be-
longing to the Regional System
and doing a fourishing business
in that country and also in this
section as it guarantees all de
posits and hence absolutely in
sures against any possible loss
to depositors.

Printed Statioery for Farmers.

Every farmer who owns his
farm ought to have printed sta
tionery, with his name, the name
of his postoffice properly given.
The printed heading might also
give the names Of whatever crops

ties IN stock. Neatly printed
stationery gives you a personally
and a standing with any person
or firm whom you write to and III
sures the proper reading of your
name and address.
If you wish to write t" your
congressman or member of legis
lature, or if you have a request
to make of your county superin'
tendent Of schools, or if you wish
information from any business
house, in any case your letter will
have increased weight and re-
ceive more and quicker attention
if you use printed stationery.
Get the habit. Come into the

sheets of good paper with en-
velopes to match. 1t will be one
of the best investments you ever

i Whose Fault?

We often hear our officials crit
icised because of the non en-.
forcement of the law. There are
times when such criticism seems
iustifable, but, too often these
criticisms comes from those who,
while criticising the officials, are
themselves to blame.
An example of such action
came up last week whom "Blind
Tiger" from the First Ward came
up for arraignment. The people
from the community from which
the "Blind Tiger immunated
had been trying for a number of
years to get the legal net around
this particular Tiger. The
Sheriff, District Attorney and
Grand Jury had been called up
on time and again to assist in
rnnning him down. Every effort
of tho citizens and officers had
been met with defeat until a few
months ago when the Grand Jury
found sufficient evidence to justi-
fly two true bills. Before the
Sheriff could make an arrest the
''Tiger" had made a successful
break for Texas. He was dis
covered, and at a considerable
expense was brought back for
trial. The States case was so
strong that he would not fight
either case but entered a plea OF
guilty. Did he get his just pun
ishment? No. Whyi Here is
where someone fell down in his
duty to his community. A great
long petition was presented to the
Judge asking for leniency, signed
by some of the very people, sad
to say, who had been seemingly
80 anxious to rid the community
of this pest, and as a consequence
the judge suspended the sentence
and Washington Parish has to
bear all the expense of running
down and capturing of the "Ti.
ger" while he goes scott free.
The expense runs up to more
than 5000. So we ask again
whose fault it is that this violator
of the law goes unwhipped Of
iusticeq How can our officers
live up to their oaths of office
when the people are so ready to
sign petitions aud beg mercy fol-
the violators of the law. Remem.
Der that you, as citizen, owes it
to your community and to society
to do all you can towards en-
forcing the law.

night. and tomorrow you Will feel
great. They taste good and act so
easily that there isn't a particle OF
gripping or purging, nor the excessive
looseness that follows the taking of
salts and most pills. They soothe and
strengthen the bowels, promptly re-
lieving the constipation, making it
unlikely to occur again.
We don't believe there is any other
bowel remedy anywhere near as good,
and at the same time 30 easy and
pleasant to take as Rexall Orderlies
We know you will agree with us and
believe ycu will thank us for telling
YOU about them. II they don't satisfy
