Correspondence of The Journal.
Whiteville. Nov. 13. Am feeling
so good over the outcome of the
election that nothing will do but that
I must write to The Journal. Had
not seen a cory of the paper for two
weeks until Saturday night when I
ran down to Chadbouro and about
the first thing I did upon arrival was
to make a bee-line for the Herald
office and ruiuage among the ex
changes for The Journal and the
Waxhaw Enterprise, can tell you they
seoin eu like long lost friends. Could
only find two copies of The Journal,
so I've skipped or lost a week and
like Little Bo-Peep, who lost her
sheep, I don't know where to find it
Quit work on the Herald a couple
of weeks I go. loafed around for one
day and then ran up here to the
county seat, before I knew whether
or not I wanted to get another Job
or go home they had me knuckled
down to It. Archie King of Wax
haw. is filling my old place on the
Herald. There is now three Waxhaw
people in this county; they are: Mrs.
Kelly Archie and myself. Spent
Saturday night with Archie and he
came buck with me yesterday for the
day. He likes this country pretty
well but has had little opportunity to
see much of it yet. He only came
last Monday from Florida, where he
has been for a couple of months.
This place Is a little larger than
Chadbourn and Is a great deal better
situated as regards drainage, but in
some respects it seems Just a little
queer. The court house is a little
over a mile from the railroad station
and Is, I believe, on the highest point
la the county. There is. in reality,
two towns in one here, the station,
like the court house-town, is named
Whiteville, but the postofflce there
is known as Vineland and most peo
ple allude to the people living around
the station as living in Vineland, and
us up-towners as in Whiteville. Th?
population, combined, is about three
thousand. At the station, or near it,
they have a saw mill that has an
output of seventy-five thousand feet
of lumber per day. The company
owns five thousand acres of virgin
timber land that has never felt the
axe, and as they can and are buying
millions of feet of timber from out
side parties. It will be years yet be
fore they have occasion to invade
their own timber lands.
The boys here are pretty well vers
ed in athletics, they have a splendid
football team, and on the diamond
this past eummer the Whiteville
team was known as the crock amateur
aggregation in this part of the coun
try. They won 19 out of 20 games
aud had the impudence to claim that
other one. The center fielder is
working here with me on the paper
and I hesitate to express my opinion
of him in public, further than to say
that I have to swear at him from
morning till night and if it has had
the least effect upon the thick skin
ned reprobate you will have to swear
in another witness before you can
prove It to my satisfaction. There
are three of us working on the pa
per and I am supposed to be the
whole cheese, but I have my doubts
about it, have not got a full day's
work out of that onery cuss since I
came here and I'd like to see the man
who could make him work without
standing guard over him with a club.
Noticed from the nice little items
about It, that many of the corres
pondents got free tickct3 to the cir
cus, hope you all had a good time.
Robinson's was here last week and
I'got mine.
It may surprise some of you fel
lows to know that Mr. Beasley was
up here about ten days ago, Rev. L.
M. White was with him. He (Mr.
Beasley) has been here twice before
in the last four or live weeks and I
sorty expect he will come again be
fore long.
Well I am going to shut un and
try and write a nice long letter to
one of the correspondents, have been
owing her a letter lor a long time, so
lone that I expect she is plum mad.
and Justly so. and won't answer my
forthcoming attempt to do peiinance.

Citron, Ky. In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up tor a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
an. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
icon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I cave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com
menced taking it From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and an doing my work."

That lighting of auitable rolor may
keep flies from hospitals, bakeries,
and other places attractive to them,
is suggested by C. Galaine and C.
Houlbert. two French experimenters.
The windows of a room were mount
ed to turn on a horixontal axis, and.
with blue, violet or red glass, the
flies . entered freely when the win
dows were open and the room was
liKhted by the sun, but when the
windows were closed the insects be
came restless, though soon quieting
down. On the reopening of the win
dows, the flies quickly escaped. With
green glass the disquiet was less
and with white orange or yellow
glass, the shut in flies appeared quite
contented. Few flies entered when
the blue windows were set obliquely
so that the room looked blue from
outside. It was concluded that to
the fly only white, yellow and orange
rays are light, and all other colors
are dark.
That bunch of brood mares which
we received last Friday Is the best '
that we have ever received. They are
strictly O. K. Better see them while
they last. Fowler & Lee.
