We favor his nomination because we believe with the late Senator Vance that "the horse that pulls the plow is ntitled to the fodder."

'-i ' - ' ' V;';' "i"'-.-; n'V The mail for Glenfleld and Hookerton leaves here at 6 o'dock p.m. and return- next morning about 9 o'clock. It used to leave Kinston in the morning about 6 o clock and return about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. y-;i xne schedule as now maae is conven ient to the business men of Hookerton a letter irom the nortn ana- west is re ceived at 9 o'clock at night, and an answer returned the next morning on the 10:12 train. But the old schedule was nearly as good, for an answer could be returned on the 5:40 afternoon train. The making of seven hours time . is all that is gained i by the y new schedule, whereas there are many disadvantages, and one of. them seriously affects The Semi-Weekly Free , PresI. The new schedule makes Wednesday's issue get to Hookerton at U o'clock that night, and Saturday's Issue is received Saturday nights at that hour. Many, of our sub- scribers at Hookerton postoffice live in the country, l bey cant stayiu town There were screams and a heartrend until the mail arrives from KinBton, con- mjr groan, mirrors crashed, the house sequently do not get Wednesday's paper until Thursday and Saturday a paper uni Monday, it is especially inconven ient as to the Saturday . Fhb Pbebb, for the farmer does not like to wave his farm on Monday the busiest darm the Week to a farmer, for the week's work must be started and gotten under way we are informed by the postoffice peo pie that it is very inconvenient for them. In the morning when the mail t arrives from Hookerton those employed at the Kinston Dostoffice are busy . distributing the mail just arrived from' the north and west, and preparing the mail for timilar points that leaves on the 10:12 A. & N. C. train. There is ho inconsiderable amount of mail matter handled at this hour and the additional mail from Hook erton makes ths work more arduous. In the afternoon ' often the 4:32 train, the Kinston mail must be put up and dis tributed: also pouches must be made up for the 5:40 westbound train for points north. From 4:32 till 6 o'clock all this must be done, and the mail for Glenfleld and Hookerton made up. . We haven't seen the mail earner in re gard to this matter, but it would appear to us that the new schedule would be verrnncomfortable and totoavenient to bim. Most of the time he will have to curry the mail at night leaving here in the afternoon at 6 o'clock and being on th road till v o'clock at night. the h ree r bess has received com plaints from some of its subscribers who get their papers at the Hookerton post- office.

L Patnette Trmgtir ot the War Be twees the States. - Recalling the historic Incidents clus tering about South Carolina's execU' tlve mansion, Mrs. Thaddeus Ilortoa writes in The Ladles Home Journal of the shocking tragedy that occurred there toward the close of the war. This was the death of the daughter of CJov ernor Pickens immediately after her marriage to Lieutenant Le Rochelle. "On the afternoon preceding the even ing of the marriage the northern army began shelling Columbia, but prepara tions for the wedding continued. "Finally the guests were all assem bled, and the clergyman was proceed ing with the solemn ceremony and had Just joined the right hands of the hap py pair when suddenly there was an awful crash, and a ball from the ene my's cannon penetrated the mansion ana burst in the middle of the mar- riage chamber, scattering ; its death I dealing; missiles in every direction. shook, women fainted and walls rock ed to and fro. , . . "When the first confusion was over, It was discovered that In all the crowd only one person was injured, and that was the bride herself. She lay partly on the floor and partly in her lover arms, crushed and bleeding, pale, but very beautiful, her bridal gown drench ed with warm blood and a great cut la her breast "Laying her on a lounge, the f ran tie bridegroom besought her bj every term of tenderness and endearment te allow the ceremony to ; proceed, to which she weakly ; gave consent, and. lying like a crushed flower no less white than the camellias of her bridal bouquet, her breath coming in short gasps and the blood flowing from this great, angry wound, she murmured yes to the clergyman and received her husband's first kiss. A moment more and all was over. "She was laid to rest under the mag nolias, and the heartbroken bride groom; reckless with despair, returned to his regiment" CHEAP SPONGES. Wlere Those Sold ' br tbo . Street . ' Faklra Are Procured. Sponges sold by the street fakir are rather captivating In appearance, large and almost white, and the price ranges from 6 to 10 cents each. People who have bought, sponges at a drug store know that no such looking articles can be got there' for so little money, and so they invest But they don't Invest more than once, because the sponge soon falls to pieces, whereas a good sponge will last for years. someboay started a story years ago that the reason the fakirs could sell these sponges so cheaply was because they bought them from the hospitals, and there are some people who still be lieve it As if men devoting all their energies and skill to ameliorating the ills of mankind would spread disease by distributing old and possibly germ Infected sponges. As a matter of fact surgeons' sponges are small . and smooth as velvet being close grained. The fakirs sponges are the clippings off the big sponges sold to liverymen and others who need large sponges. The parts cut away have little body and would soon tear loose. The fakirs buy these bits, trim them Into shape and then give them a bath la diluted muriatic acid. After lying there for 12 hours they are taken out and washed in clear water and dried. They are blenched, in other words, but at still further detriment to the sponge. Nev er of close texture, the mesh is made more rotten by the acid, and that Is why they soon fall apart But so far as disease is concerned are as fare as any pponge bought In the finest dreg store.
