THE LAST CALL FOR THE
LAST LIBERTY LOAN BOND

I Chesterfield county has splendid
war record both on the battle field
md back here at home. Are we go
ing to maintain that record and COM
plete the job by taking our part of
this issue of bonds? Only this week
is left us in which to do it. Will not
everybody help to do it? /
We should take these bonds BE-
cause it is our patriotic duty to do
it, and because the boys from over
seas have to be returned, and be-
cause our war debts have to be paid
and because the wounded have to be
cared for and the dependent widows,
mothers and fathers of the boys who
lost their lives in this war must be
cared for. If we will just make up
our minds to do it, we can do it. Just
go right straight to your bank and
do the thing at once.
You can get the bond carried easi-
ly. One way is to pay cash. Another
is, pay by installments, six in num-
Der. Another is, pay ten per cent.
of the amount of the bonds you take,
and the banks will carry the remain
der until January 1st, without one
cent of cost to you. The bond will
carry itself for that period.
These bonds mature in four years
and bear Ak per cent. interest MY
opinion is they will never sell below
par. Here's hoping that every one
of US will get busy and put our coun-
ty over for the last time.

County Chairman.

RENA McFARLAN MAKES
CONFESSION DAMAGING
TO CHARLES BENTON

Nathaniel Smith came to his death
by blows from an ak in the hands Of
Charles Benton-so reads the corot
ner's verdict in the case of the State
VS.. Charles Benton.
The coroner's jury, with Magis+
trate T. H. Douglass presiding finishA
ed its inquest last Friday night when
it heard the confession of Rena Nc
Farlan.
Her confession, while it exhonor-
ated herself, fastened the guilt upon
Benton for particularly cold-blood-
ed murder.
The body of Nathaniel Smith had
been found some weeks ago floating
in Black Creek on the property of
Mr.. X. C. johnson, near Middendorf.
The arrest of Rena McFarlan at
Dovesville and Benton at Hartsville
followed. Both professed ignorance
of the murder until Thursday of last
week, when the woman broke down
and told the story in its gruesome de-
tails.
She told how she once lived with
Benton and parted from him and that
he moved away and married again
She said he returned not long ago,
and finding her living with Smith,
told her that if she did not leave
Smith he would kill him.
She testified that on the night of
March 18th, when Benton called, ap-
parently on a friendly visit, she knew
he meant to carry out his threat. On
this occasion she said Smith and Ben
ton talked and laughed together till
about 1 o'clock, when Benton arose,
saying he was going to spend the
night with neighbor. He went out,
and very shortly Smith went to bed.
Rena said she was very uneasy and
did not retire Immediately. About
Il Am. she went on the porch and
saw Benton standing there, and he
asked her if Smith was asleep.
At this she said she started to
:scream, but Benton placed his hand
.on his hip in threatening manner
land said he would kill her if she made
"A noise. She said that Benton then
went to the door of Smiths room and
listened while. When he picked up
:an ak that stood near the door, she
ran out into the yard. She testified
that she then heard lick and after
ward could hear Nathaniel groaning.
Benton then went to the stable
sand tried to get the mules but they
were locked in. He then got out
"a buggy and carrying Nathaniel out,
placed him in it and pulled it away
He shortly returned, saying he had
put him where he would not be found
He then got busy hiding the marks of
his crime, by burning the pillow and
bed clothing that were stained with
blood, in the fire place.
He gave her instructions to
tell her people that Smith had gone
away and he would mail letter from
Hamlet purporting to be from Smith.
1t is believed that the woman's
part in this cold-blooded murder was
more incriminating that she would
admit. But If further details Of the
crime are learned they must come
from one or the other of these per-
sons.
