On Tuesday morning our worthy
postmistress received a large box
containing several score punches of
lovely tube roses, about which
were gracefully entwined exquisite
green vine mosses. A card, bear
ing a name (among which was ours),
with compliments of Lula Cooper,
Marion, Mss, was attached to each
bunch Of flowers. Miss Lula would
feel we'll repaid for her thoughtful-
ness and trouble if she could ins
agine one-half of the happiness af-
torded her Poplsrville friends by
the receipt OF these tokens of her

and we assure her that she shall
never have cause to complain Of

Fly PAPER.

Every good housekeeper wishes
to say that there is not sin.
gle fly in her house. Now, as we
all know to our annoyance, flies are
very troublesome in these hot days.
Here are three good recipes which
can be recon as extermina
tors of tie dipterous pests. The
peculiar virtue of these Ingredients
is that no poisonous Ingredient is
nsad in their composition. Boil to.
geiher linseed oil and rosin until
the compound becomes thick, or
boil three parts of rosin and four
parts Of rapeseed oil together, until
sticky mass is produced, or again
boil to a thicK paste one pound of
rosin, three and one half ounces of
molasses and the same quantity of
lnseed oil. Any one-of these com
pounds spread on thick sheets of
brown paper and scattered over the
tables and shelves will effectually
exterminate flies. These recipes
were given to Woman's World and
Work by wall-kaown New Orlea MS
gentleman, who vouches for their
success in the application.-Pica.

Gen. viii T. Martin, of Adams
Co., one of the candidates for con ;
gress from this district, addressed
the voters OF Hancock county at
Nicholson last Saturday night.
Gen. Martin arrived here Sunday
morning, and was the guest of the
Marion House until Tuesday noon,
where many of his friends and sup
porters called to see him. Ac-
cordine disappointment, Gen. Mars
tin addressed our citizens at the
courthouse Monday night, and
among the goodly audience we
were pleased to note the presence
of many ladies'. Gen. Martin made
modest statement OF his steward =
ship as a citizen, soldier and states-
man, every word of which was
heartily indorsed by gentlemen
present who had for years been ac-
quainted with him and his record
All the important living political
questions of the day were discussed,
satisfactorily, we honestly believe,
10 the great majority of MS hearers.
Gen. Martin had many good words
to say of Maj. Govan and Mr.. Dem
ny, but his sketch of the political
recor1 of Col. St0ckdale was any,
thing but tlattering to that gentle~
man. Gen. Martin fully and salIs-
factorily explained several trumped
up charges against himself lf-charg.
es, however, that no sane man ac-
9uainted with his character and the
history of the state would even for
moment have entertained. We
feel more confident than ever that
Gen. Martin will be the next cons
gressional representative from tho
sixth district. The General left
for Lumberton Tuesday at noon,
where he had an appointment to
speak Wednesday night of this
week.

Is THERE NEED OF REFORM 4

An old time democrat from Madison
county who in TIL" dark days ofrecon-
struction'' attended the radical gather
ings in Jefferson county as q walking
arsenal, ornamented with rifle, bowie
knife and pistol, recently attended a
democratic campaign picnic in Jeffer-

and says he listened witt 4 erected
for some explanation Of TIE 300 per cent
increase of Jefferson's delegation TO the
state convention which a most worthy
jefferson county gentleman told him
was fraud, and which he says gives
a Jefferson county democrat three and
half times more weight than a Mad
ison county democrat in the state con-
vention. He goes on to say:
jefferson has 20 white voters. Madison 1900,
and Jefferson has "a votes in the state conven-
ton, Madison only I.
In the times of democratic peril, he
says, Leon county polIed only 500 DEM
oeratic votes when every nerve was
strained to bring out every democratic
voter, now she has Is delegates in the
state convention. If Jefferson has "A
delegetes this writer says that Madi-
son ought to have SO.

fraud, he asks, "who will not say we

but when dem ,cYats get to preying
upon one another there is going to be
an exhibition of grand and lofty kick
ing. Seven delegates from Madison
twenty-four from jefferson; fifteen

The Standard Gold Blight.

Under tile caption, IA Clever Bun, D
Came the Irish World of New York
editorally says
1t is asserted on good AUTHORITY that
the enormous amout of $500, zoo, 600 is
sent every year from this country to
Europe to pay for imported merchan-
disc, freight charges and marine in
surance on the same, to meet the ex-
penditures of American travelling
aboad, and to make good the remit
tances to their old homes by immi-
grants. As this immense sum is meas
ured by the gold standard, it becomes
question: of the first importance to this
country that gold does not appreciate
in value.
The demonstration of silver means
the appreciation of gold, the very thing
that is for the advantage of the United
States should not happen. The five
hundred million dollars we have TO
pay abroad every year are, of course,
not paid in gold. Rich as the United
States is it could not pay foreign debt
IN that way. 1t is not with gold dol
lars, but with American products that
that our obligations to foreigners are
discharged. Enhancing the value of
gold means that we shall have to part
with more of these products to satisfy
foreign creditors.
This species of robbery-there is
nothing like using plain terms-prac-
ticed on this country by giving gold
anincreased purchasing power through
the characterization ofsilver is show n
by the fact that although our national
debt since the close of the war has been
reduced by more than seven hundred
millions, yet it will not take more
bushels of wheat to pay the balance of
it than it would have taken to have
paid the whole Of it WHEN Lee surren-
dered to Grant.
The bales of cotton and the bushels
of wheat have been steadily decreas-
ing as debt payers because gold, in
which the debt is measured, has been
constantly going up. The Cleveland
administration has done its best, by its
open hostility to silver, to help this
gold boon. No wonder John Bull has
been ready to clap Grover on the back
for the stsnd- he has taken against
silver. A great part of that five hum
dred millions we have to pay abroad
annually finds its way into John Bulls
pockets. Every time gold goes notch
higher it means that Uncle Sam will
have To fork over SO many more BUSH
els of wheat or bales of cotton to John
Bull. A clever way of robbing Uncle
Sam, isn't it?
