SPLENDID SERVICE.
Inspector Commends Monroe Post
maMcr and Kural CarrlerH One of
the Oldest Carriers In the Service.
Correspondence of The Obtwrver.
Monroe, April 12. Mr. 8. II. Danson,
rural agent, had this to say after a
general Inspection of the rural routes
from Monroe: "I have found the ser
vice In a perfectly satisfactory condi
tion, the routes well served by efficient
carriers, and all matter pertaining
to the rural service at the postofflce
conducted In a business manner. Much
of the credit for the good service glv
en the people Is due to the efficiency of
the postmaster at Monroe. The roads
In the vicinity of Monroe, traveled by
the carrier, are above the average
of any I have traveled In the State
with the exception of Mecklenburg
county. I have every reason to be
lieve that the residents in the territory
traveled by the seven route from Mon
roe appreciate the service that has
been given them, free of cost, with the
exception of the price of a mall bos.
and they should continue the good
work f keeping the roads In condi
tion. Monroe route No. 1 I served
by the oldest carrier I have yet found
In the service, Mr. Jake Little. He
is serving the longest route, 30 miles.
He Is still rendering good service"
Thce rural carriers and Mr. Hasty
are proud to have these kind words
aid about them by Mr. Danson.
Polk Miller, the clever entertainer,
will appcur In the Opera House to

The average man Is alwav nursing the
hope that he may Home dav encounter

TWO ENGINEERS INJURED.
Two Freights Go Together on West
ern Division as Result of Failure
of Operator to Deliver Order.
Correspondence of The Observer.
Salisbury. April 18. Downcomlng
train No. 72 this morning collided with
an extra freight at the 20-mile post,
between Salisbury and Statesville, and
the two engineers were slightly hurt.
Engineer Bob James was. running the
fast freight and was on a down-grade
making probably 60 miles an hour. He
was met Just at the top of a grade
by Engineer Will Eagle, whose train
was making very slow time. Seeing
the trains about to meet, both en
gineers reversed and Jumped. S Mr.
James was much the worse hurt,v his
head, arms and body being marked
considerably. He was brought to his
home at Spencer and is being treated
there. His fireman escaped uninjured
as did Fireman Sowers, of the extra.
Mr. Eagle got off with small injuries
and will not bo. kept from wrok long.
Both men are Sallsburlans and are
popular with the road.
This wreck was the result of an op
erator's failure to give orders, o the
wife of one of the injured men says.

ABOUT RHEUMATISM.
There are few diseases that Inflict more
torture than rheumatism and there Is
probably no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that It can be
cured 1. therefore, a bold statement to
make, but Chamberlain's Palo .Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale,, has met
with great succea in the treatment of
this disease. One application of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds
of sufferers have testified to perma
nent cure by Its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords uch oulck relief and

so near causing a fatality. The Spen
