Jenkins, Postmaster. A Correction. The statement made yesterday that subscribers for lock boxes at the post office in this city paid $5 for their boxes at the outset, in addition to a further fee of $4, yearly, indirectly did injus tice to Mr. W. W. Jenkins, the present postmaster. The statement is true of a majority of the subscribers, but they bought their boxes before Mr. Jenkins s time, of his predecessor in office. Mr. Jenkins put a stop to this practice when he came into office and deserves credit for having done so. Not a single box, he states, has been sold by him or his assistants since the commencement of his termjof office. The set of new boxes recently put up at the office cost him $250 and they are turned over to subscribers for the usual yearly rent, without any other, requirement except the deposit .of 50 cents to secure the re turn of the key when the subscriber is done with the box. We gladly do Mr. Jenkins the justice to make this explanation. Couimcndtd from If eadirnarters. Manager Dodge, of the Western Union Telegraph company, is in receipt of the following correspondence which explains itself. To Manager Dodge, Charlotte, N. C. : I take pleasure in forwarding the fol lowing handsome testimonial from the General Manager as to the highly effi cient and valuable services rendered by the company's employes during the past few days. ' You will please, read tlus,rdj!r to the employes of your emee,'rtd remunerate them for all extra-.set vicfe performed as,, per general .pir. January 4th, 1877. Yours truly, ... , J. W. Kates, Superintendent. All Healing springs. King's Mountain, N. C, July 8th, 1881. To the Editor ol The Observer. Your correspondent is a Mecklenburg man who ha3 been sojourning at this health restoring retreat for the past two weeks, and in the interest of hu manity sends you a few observations. There is a fitness in communicating to the public the special virtues of these waters through your columns, be cause the facts show that Mecklenburg county, and Charlotte particularly, has taken a deep interest in their success. While a constant stream of Mecklen burg citizens is setting towards this fountain of health, we are, at intervals, literally inundated by a flow from Charlotte, and be it said to the credit of your city, its representatives have been mainly from the most solii. and valuable class of the community. It was only accidentally that I first heard, a few weeks ago, that these springs were opened to summer visi tors. I had known personally for ten years, and by tradition for a half cen tury, that there were healing waters of singular virtue somewhere in the for ests near Crowder's and King's Moun tains, but that Southern enterprise had actually entered these forests, and in a few short months, had established and equipped a really comfortable home for the suffering invalids as well as a quiet retreat for the care worn laborer, I did not suspect. My first impressions were that the place must be too new, the plans too immature, and the accommodations necessarily inadequate, tq secure the requisite quiet and rest for the feeble sufferer, and on this account my visit was only an experiment.. Experience, however, has proved that the sedative effect of the waters, and the cool night air, have combined to promote Bound and refreshing sleep and it is a com mon remark of the visitors that they feel sleepy much of the time. When we consider that only three months ago, the ground was first bro ken fpr opening up thyj new "Pool of Bethesda in these mountain forests, one can hardly realize that so much comfort and home life could be attain able in so short a time. The rooms and furniture are of. course all new; clean and well ventilated, the food is of good quality, the cooking, especially the bread, excellent, and the waters are pleasant, light, easily digested and ap petizing. You will observe that I purposely use the plural number in speaking of these healing waters for the public may not know that there are already three dis tinct springs, (a sulphur and a chaly beate spring in addition to the all-healing), now open here for the use of in valids, and how many more may be developed in future remains to be seen. The sulphur spring baa been discover ed since my arrival. J Let us hope that North Carolina may yet furnish in this locality a Sara toga for the South a true "All-Healing" fountain where every variety of mineral waters may be found suited to every type of human disease. At pres ent the reputation of the waters here rests mainly upon the cures they have effected in cases of dispepsia, general debility, cutaneous diseases and ulcers of various kinds. Of course, no one remedy can cure everything, but it is stating the proposition mildly to say that all who are troubled with any of the afflictions would do well to , try these waters. These notes. Mr. Editor, yoa may think are already sufficiently extended, but in simple justice to all concerned you will allow me to add that while this establishment belongs to a joint stock company the presiding genius is Dr. F. M. Garrett, whose indomitable energy, accommodating spirit and and genuine kindness to everybody, makes it easy to accept the situation, and impossible for any right-minded man to complain of evils that cannot be remedied. The Doctor is a large hearted man, with large views and large plans, and his whole soul is in the work of making these springs a bless ing, to the country. He expects to en large and improve his premises from year to year, until he has established here a first-class inlirmarv to be kept open both winter and summer for the benefit of all sections of the country, and his large experience in the hospi tals of New York City, in the hospitals of out late war" and'lrifiis extensive practice, since 'that . tnnevMemo offer a full guaranteefoT hk final success.
