Sore Muscles.
Prominent athletes throughout
the-country find that the best
treatment for sore muscles after
severe exercise or hard work of
any kind, is a hot batn. at bed
time, which opens the pores. This
should immediately be followed
with an application of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm vigorously rub
bed into the skin. This liniment
removes all stiffness and soreness
and has become a favorite rub
down, as it acts promptly and
keeps the muscles in excellent
condition. For sale by G. Ri Pil

Mr. Editor: -
To write a letter when I have
nothing to say reminds nee of the
women in a scarce time for vege
tables to cook. I have heard it all
my life "Well, I wonder what I
will (get for dinner?" But they
find something, and maybe I will
do likewise.
Of course you all know that
King Alfonso is married, and the
papers had to tell all about the wed
ding and his bride's fine dress as
if it would do us any good. Well,
of course, we aren't all alike, but
I had rather have her presents and
fixings than to have her. I can't
see any use of giving the King
and Queen and the President's
daughter so much advertising
when they marry, as it is a leap
in the dark at best and when the
light is turned on it may end in a
divorce. '
Well, we have all been having a
mighty good time since the good
rain came, and to add to our joy
the doctors all went to Charlotte
to the Medical convention and left
the old men and women and their
sick patients to do as best they
could. But all things worked in
our favor, and the women kept on
hoeing cabbages while the men
were too busy in their crops to
think of a doctor. And then to
make it better nearly all the sick
got well. I see 85 young doctors
got their diplomas to haud out
pills, and if I was a preacher I
would feel it my duty to say
"Lord, have mercy on the sick."
I don't know when the millen
nium is coming, but if a big lot of
doctors, lawyers, teachers, gradu
ates and drummers will have any
thing to do with it that by adding
the few democratic candidates to
the list it may come in 1906. - I
tell you there is mighty little fun
electioneering when every other
man you see wants to swap votes.
Now you all know that the re
ligious denominations have lately
held conventions, and they say
that there are mighty few candi
dates for the ministry. But I
don't know why there are not as
many men preparing to preach
when cotton is 11 cents as there
were when it was 5 cents. I uiiht
go to preaching if I had to go to(
another civil wtr and get my sal
ary in Confederate shiuplasters
at that. But lam not fool enough
to go into it for the pay that there
is in it now. I would not accuse
any mau going iuto the ministry
for the mouey that is iu it unless
I knew he was too lazy to work,
and then I would want him to
preach to that other fellow all
the time.
I see iu sesterday's paper th t
Capt. McLauchliu of Co. K, 20; h
htegt., is dead. He .was wouuded
at Gettysburg in the left hand,
aud was clerk of the court in An
son couuty 28 years. Chatham

the conventions, commencements,
lynohiugs and reading letters from
men who have been called from
their daily occupations to serve
the dear people as candidates.
I staid all night not long sicce
with a candidate and he and his
wife made everything so pleasant.
Yes, we had bull-frog for supper
and it was the finest I had seen
since I was a boy. When I came
home Mrs. Buck said she believed
I had joined the Holy Jumpers.
Then 1 explained to her that it

That Wadesboro lynching caus
es me to think that people are not
very far removed from brutes if
they have a good chance to show
it.
Now I want to give a little free
advice to Messrs. A. H. Peri-y, J.
W. Perry and all the rest of the
candidates for the Legislature,
and it is this: Pass a law to sell
all the public land and take the
money and the convicts in the
penitentiary and build fertilizer
factories, make and sell fertilizers
to the farmers at a little above
cost. 1 think that would help the
farmers as much or more than the
dispensary. I hope the next Leg
islature will be a regular . trust
buster. I am glad they won't have
to spend any. time - with the law
on whiskey, as we have all quit
drinking, and if nobody else is
helped the jug maker is. I hope
they won't pass any law making
us give in empty jugs. 1 think
they .ought to be rlrke dogs, not
taxable. h'r S. ' . :; '
, .': Excuse jak i& myl long letter
s i have to keep tip with the con
ventions, .the medical societies and
commencements. I know it does
the parents good to see their boys
and girls. comBdiome with diplo
mas, and it ought to, and if they
ajv. uiade of the right stuff they
will do much good and be; a bless-:
ing to the world. You may see
them on the streets or at drug
stores drinking cocoacola. If you
haven't it's not their fault. I
wish girls had been , graduates in
my day. I bft they make court
ing mighty entertaining and very
detaining, but that will all wear
off when you go to maintaining.
A graduated cook and a graduated
farmer are as scarce as bald-headed
women. I never knew why
d nation makes neonle want a
shady job, but there are some
noneducated that like shady
places too. Buck.
. To Patrons of R. F. D. Routes.
. . 7 Lockville, June ri7T906r '
Mr. Editor: If you will allow
me space in your paper I "shall
appreciate it very much. , I wish
to make a few practical -Suggestions
for patrons of It. F , D.
routes. :
First. You will be doing your
carrier a great favor if you will
stamp all your mail before put
ting it in the box, either by put
ting the ordinary stamps or, bet
ter; by using the - government
stamped envelopes, with your
name written on the upper left
hand corner. This will guarantee
delivery or return of the letter
Second. Iu case you should not
happen to have either stamps or
the stamped envelops wrap the
necessary amount in paper and
fasten to letter in good manner,
remembering that in cpld weather
money put loose in the mail-box
is hard to get hold of with cold I
fingers, or with gloves.
Third. In addressing your let
ters do not write about .the mid-'.
die of the envelope, because the '
letter has to be plainly postmark- J
ed and the address may be partly j
blurred by being struck by the
postmarking stamp. You will also !
help the handling of the mail
by always putting stamp on up
per right-hand corner.
Fourth. In addressing a letter
to a visitor or some one who is
not a regular patron of a rural
route or postoffice, -you will be
helping the service by marking
on the envelope in whose care the
letter package should go. If you
have visitors who are expecting
mail, kiudlv sive the carrier their ;
names by putting a slip in the
box, thus notifying him.
Fifth. Iu regard to boxes, help
your carrier by having a good
one in a good easy place to drive
up to, and oil the hinges occasion
ally. Mail boxes are protected by
the government, and tampering
with them by any one not interest
ed should be reported at once to
your postmaster, whose duty it is
to report the matter to the De
partment. Anything deposited in
boxes is counted mail matter and
is subject to postage rates. All
packages should be well wrapped
and securely tied, and valuable
letters and packages should be
registered.
