Special l<? The State.
llennetlsvillo, Sept. 13 A tin
resolutions of 1 hunks unci appie
ciation, which were unanimously
Adopted by u rising vote tiotl forwurded
to Mrs. Bcckwilh.
Mrs. Bcckwilh is the lady who
garo to Bennettsville tho benuliful
Murchison school building,
now occupied by the city public
schools. It was given in honor
of her departed husband, John i).
Murchison. It is said to be the
handsomest graded school building
in South Carolina.
Tho offer which came last night
was unsolicited and unexpected.
Airs. Beckwith had kept up with
Bennettsville'* efforts to got tho
college through the columns of
Tho Pee Dee Advocato, and had
just read the call for the tinul
meeting last night when she sent
the telegram.
About 22 yean ago Mrs. lJeckwith,
in answer to an advertisement,
catno from Maryland to
teach in the school hero. Aftoteaching
for a while her heart
and hand was sought and won by
John D. Murchison, a wealthy
bachelor merchant of this place.
For several years, and until Mr.
Murchison's death, sho made this
her heme. They wore blossed
with three children, the two named
in the telegram, who are dead,
and Kuth, who is now a young
lady with her mother in Baltimore.
After Mr. Murchison's death
Mrs. Murchison made a number
of successful business ventures,
and the estato was largely iocrear.ed.
Then, in her mumi-urn
-- fc>~
to Mr. Heckwith, his fortune was
added to her own.
That her heart is linked with
thoto of the people of Bennettsville
and their educational interests
has heon shown in a way that
should forever mako her the most
loved and honored woman known
to its citizens. Her name will go
down in history us the benefactor
of Bennettsvillo, and future generations
will 1 ho up and call her
blessed. It has been suggested
that a monument nKnnlil I...
ed to he** memory, hut she if
building monuuionU more durable
than brass or marble.
The mooting hint night raised
over #8,000 in addition to what
had been subscribed before.
Among the increases in subscnj)*
tiona was I) \). Mc^oll, frein
#5,000 to #0,500, and A. J.
Mathoson, from #5,000 to frt,*

til meeting ? ms held lit re inst night

for the Prt'shyU'liun College of
South Carolina. A happy ?en>a
lion was sprung by the leading of
u telegram from Mrs. Haniet
Murchison Beckwilli, ntTuiing
120 ,000 in cash ?nd 12 acre* ot
land at an inducement to., ads

I). Murehison, .Jr., who died 10
years ago today, und in iiK-moc.
of my beloved daughter, Eleanor
Murchison."
A moment of deep silence, aftei
loe reading ot llie telegram, was
followed !>j prolonged applause,
as those present grasped Ihu f ii 1
meaning of the woids. 'J hen

You Must
Sleep,
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
tlic brain, which will soon dcvelopc
into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it !
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore cx- ;
liausted vitality.
Dr. Miles' Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it ! 9
soothes the irritation and re- i
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens every
nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
"During the pant winter I lind two ;
attacks of l.aOrlppo which 1. ft me (
very weak, and In bad condition. I
was so tn-rvous I could not sleep. My '<
wife, after trying different romoch'S,
went for a doetor. The doctor was
out. ami a neighbor recommended Dr.
Miles' Nervine, and she brought homo
n bottle. 1 had not slept for some time,
and had terriblo pains In my head.
After taking a few doses of Nervine
the pain was riot so severe, and I
slept. I am now taking the second
botlle. nnd am vorv much Improved."
