Beautiful Young Woman Ends Her
Life by Poison Route

Kinston Dispatch, March 20.
Fannie Stanford, about 20 years
of age, committed suicide by drink
ing poison in South Kinston house
early this morning. The coroner said
the woman was zone Of the most
beautiful he ever saw. She was a
brunette of medium build.
The police say others saw the girl
drink lysol, a carbolic preparation,
She died in few minutes. The au-
thorities believe she was a novice in
the underworld and was respondent
over her situation.
There was an all-night party in the
house of the suicide, the police say,
the girls hostess celebrating her
birthday. At the first crack of dawn
an auto full of gay female guests left
the house, the merriment ceased and
Fannie Stanford quaffed a final bit
ter cup.
Bruises several days old on her
face indicated that the girl had been
brutally assaulted. She is said to
have been infatuated with man up
State. She left no word, written or
oral, explaining her act. Efforts to-
day to communicate with relatives of
the victim at Snow Camp, N. c., were
unavailing.

HAZING AT WAKE FOREST
One of the Most Daring Acts Of HaZ-

One of the Most Daring Acts Of HaZ-
ing Ever Perpetrated at the Col
lege
Wake Forest Dispatch, March 20.
One of the most daring acts of
hazing perpetrated at Wake Forest
college, in years occurred last Sunday
morning at 80 o'clock when a haz-
ing party said to number ten or more
entered a private residence in the
town and forcibly held the door to
every room in the house while fresh
man was hazed, and as the hazing
party was leaving the house two shots
were fired at close quarters, the first
by a member Of the hazing party and
the second by an inmate of the house,
who had left mis- room through his
window and encountered the hazlng
party as they were leaving through
the front door.
Mr.. L. W. Chappell, senior men,
Der of the student senate, student
organization that has charge of all
cases of hazing, was wakened early
Sunday morning when a room dag
onally opposite from his on the up
per floor was forcibly broken into.
Going to his door, Mr.. Chappell
found it firmly held from the out
side and as he put his foot through
a window man with gun COM
manded him to stay in his room.
Mr.. Chappell then secured his re-
volver and forced his man to retreat
into the hallway and while he was
standing in the doorway the hazing
party in close rank filed rapidly
through the door, leaving the house.
Mr.. Chappell states that probably
the third man in the line fired past
his face within yards of him, and he
Immediately shot into the line but his
hand was pushed just as he shot and
no one was hit. His revolver failed
to fire a second time and the entire
party made its escape quickly.
The student senate has been in
session practically every dny this
week, but owing to the fact that their
sessions are held in secret the exact
evidence obtained and the action to
be taken will not be known until a
public announcement is made Of their
decision.

again for the battle of life. Some
thing like a broken-down horse out in
pasture getting ready to go in harness

From $50 to $50 is called Quiet
Hour, during which time all patients
are required to lay quietly in their
beds even if they do not sleep. This
sounds like a small thing and of not
much Importance, but the relaxation
and complete rest, with everything
quiet, is a wonderful help, especially
to anyone who is nervous or not

their horses all day without resting
them, but seem to forget that we need
a rest as much as the horses. In adj

the fastest. Patients coming here are
