^ JAIL AWAITING TRIAL.
It is Said tliat tlic Bones in the
Cheek of Watts Were Crushed to
Pieces l>y the Violence of the Blow
Other Injuries Sustained.
Mr M C Hammond, who is Constable
for Magistrate A 1) Jackson
in Floyd's township, arrived in
Conway early yesterday morning
with a boy named Cl ifton Ivy charged
with assault and batery of a high
and aggravated nature upon a boy
named Nuna Watts on the day
.v before. The young man could not
??> ?pve bail, and was lodged in the
county jail where he now remains.
The afTray took place at the
Wannamaker School at. the noon
hour on Tuesday. Clifton lyy and
a small brother became involved in
a row with Watts, and they had
drawn their knives when other
students parted them and the trouble
was thought to be over. After this
however, the combatants picked
up sticks and when Watts was not
looking Clifton Ivy struck him
violently in the face across the
nose with the stick he had inflicting
a serious wound for Watts. The
blow crushed through the nose, and
painfully bruised the cheek, somewhat
injuring the eye. The constable
stated that the bones of the uose
were crushed all to pieces.
He. was arrested at the school
house by the constable, taken before
Magistrate Jackson, and bound
over to court Ivy and his brother
arc said to be fatherless boys, and
they were living uu the place of Mr
J M Connelly.

Sonic of tlic Vouiijr People Around
Cool Spring Have a Ciood Time |
On Thanksgiving Day Mr ami Mrs
C V Ilucks entertained a number of
relatives and intimate friends at
their charming country home near
Cool Spring.
The reception was not so much noted
for formality as it was for pleasure
and plenty. In fact all did as
they pleased but pleased to do nice,
of course.
Target shooting (illed in a little
spaco immediately after dinner,

You know what that means if you
have ever eaten many times in the
country where pumpkin grows, chickens
roost low, sausage ground and
turkey gobbles. In the shooting
match no one drove the peg All did
well, however, except Spar km an and
his gun was by shooting like he was
by marrying, never so much as popped
the can.
? ? I' A
straw ride, something a little
now for this part of tho country,
was arranged for at this stage of t he
game. This preparation was made
by hooking two mules each to some
wagons, placing some straw in the
body and then tilling them piling full
of girls and boys and driving to
goodness knows where and back,
The party, each and all of us, congratulated
ourselves on having had
Miss Edith (Jregg, of Marion, S C.,
who is principal of the Cool Spring
High school, as oui chaparone. We
alt feel sure that Miss Gregg enjoyed
the ride, pastimes, and pleasantry
as much as any child on the
wagon.
On returning to Mr Uncus' we
found that others had collected in
from a greater distance around and
still they continued to come until
possibly a hundred could have been
numbered. Music was furnished by
the girls, innocent games played by
all and last, but no least, fruit was
served.
The entire number tender thanks
to Mr Hucks and family for inaugurating
this rod letter day, and with
all good wishes, we a m yours socially

Sad Dcatli of a I.ailv
The community was saddened last
Sunday bv the untimely death of
Mrs I Jessie Harrison Dusenbury at
her homo at Pot BlulY, six miles
from Conway. She was in hcriMth
vcar and leaves her husband, Mr W.
K- Dusenbury and six children ran#
in# from IS months of a#e to about
111 years.
The deceased was a daughter of
the late Win. 11. and Joanna Harrison
and was born on June 11th, A.
D. 1875. Her mother v ith two sisters,
Mrs J. T. Proctor and Mrs S.
P. Gasque, and four brothers, K K.
Harrison, Daniel Harrison, Benjamin
and Dock- survive her
She was married to W. K Duscnburv
on February ttrd, 1802 and died
on November 20th at 0:10 o'clock.
The taking of one this early in life
is sad under any circumstances but
in hers, considering her lovable and
kindly nature, the occurrence is inexpressibly
sad.
She was a member of Union Methodist
church and a true Christian,
ever faithful to all religious demands
and faithful and true to her
family, relatives and friends. Her
character was, in every respect, the
very highest. Hi r Mature was always
loving and kind
Of a gentle disposition and gonial
character her bright smile and kindly
greetings will be sad I v missed by
those who knew her and loved her.
All that loving hands and skilled
physicians could do was done to arrest
the fatal illness, which at last
claimed her in obedience to the divine
power above, llis will must
be done.
Her remains vers laid to rest on
Monday afternoon in the burying
ground at Union church in the presence
of a large gathering. In the
absence of the minister of her church
the funeral services were conducted
by the Rev A. S Doak of the
Presbyterian church here.

It seems sad indeed to part with
such a noble woman, and especially
so to the husband who did all in his
power, with the aid of loving friends
and physicians to relieve her sufferings.
May we u:l bow to the
will of the Lord, who doeth all
things well, remembering that she
can't come back but wo can see her
again at some future day.

He was born October 10th, 1908

the care and influence of a loving
mother and grand-mother, he

snatched from earth and born on
angel wings to him who said "suffer
them to come unto me."
He was during the the last year
of hi' life unusually interested in
the mystery of death, Heaven and
the suioit world, etc , and would so
often question his teachers regarding
these things. We so little
thought that ho would so soon bo
(called to see and know for himself
I what it is to be there. Therefore
| bo it resolved
1st?That we humbly bow in submission
to the decree of an all wise
loving Father who dooth all things
well.
2nd?To tho sorely stricken family
we tender our heart felt sympathies
and earnest prayer that He who
has smitten may bind up the broken
hearts.
3rd?That we know that little
Wilbur has been taken to the throne
of tho Almighty King of kings
whore he will be forever "safe in
the arms of Jesus."
4th?That a copy of these resolutions

From [Nortli CarolinaDear
llorald: So far as North
Carolina is concerned 1 think the
page which bears the record of this
year will be classed among the most
interesting in its history. An extra
session of the Legislature was called
o consider the liailroad rate question
and at the same time, before
the General Assembly came tho
juestion of liquor, or no liquor; and
this proposition was left to tin;
/oters of the State to decide, and
die 2(>th day of May was set, which
I proved to bo Dooms Day for the
I iccursed trallic.
Next came the political campaign
which was characterized by unusual
interest, and after all
things had happened which go along
he path of the many candidates we
lid not got what we wanted but we
lavo all taken what we could get,
and now everybody has gone to
work in real earnest. The panic is
forgotten seemingly, and the cotton
I mills have opened up on lull time,
ind the operatives have dried their
iyes, straightened their faces,
ind put on their Sunday smiles.
The churches have gone forward
along all lines in spite of all the
jther considerations.
With favorable pride your scribe

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
t
Tticir l!iiccu?liij( Work Kccp? Us
Stronir and Healthy.
Vll the blood in the body passes
through tho kidneysoncecverythree
minutes. The kidneys filter the
olood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
Hiis brings on many diseises and
symptoms pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skins
rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorder,
disorders of the eyesightand hearing
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. Hut if you keep the filters
right you will have no troublo with
your kidneys.
Mrs R Hi Anderson, living in Conway,
S. C., says: '[loan's Kidney
Pills made me feel like a new woman
and I am pleased to recommend
them. For some time prior to
procuring them at Norton Drug Co
my back and kidneys had Deeti
troubling me. There was aconstant
aching through my loins*, a continual
headache kept mo in misery,
and my kidneys were very irregular
in action, and forced me to arise
often during the night. The secretions
were dark in color and showed
that .ny kidneys were disordered.
After using Doan's Kidney Pills
the aches and pains ceased, the
headaches, and that tired, languid
feeling disappeared and the kidneys
became regular inaction. Iamable
to rewt so much hotter at night and
feel so much stronger that I cannot
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills too
highly as a remedy.
