LETTER FROM PALMYRA
TOWNSHIP.

Correspondence to THE CoMMoNwEALrH.)
HoBGooD, N. c., April 26, '97
We are thankful to the newspaper
men all over our land for their help in
the cause of uplifting humanity by
notices OF our agency, the Sunday
School work.
1t is our wish to report to the Sun
day-school workers in our county as
ISOLATION what we are doing in this
township. Our first of the two yearly
conventions we held as co-workers, con-
vened in the M. E. church at Hobgood
last Sunday, the 18th of April. All the
officers were on hand and reelected ex-
cept vice-presldent. This office il filled
by G. K. Moore this year. w. c..
Whitaker, president of the County
work, has not tailed for five years to
reach us during every convention.
The church was full of people and
when the enrolment was taken it show
ed that two-thirds of them were Sunday
school folks. The convention at Pal
myra during the snow last December
was good but this last is better. The
HoDgood Sunday-school having about
doubled itself while the Palmyra school
more than trebles itself in numbers.
The cry here as else where is more and
better workers. E. P. Hyman taught
the lesson for the day with apparent
BASE and pleasantness, after which
Pastor Bradley addressed the conven-
ton from the text: "It is not the Will
Of your Father which is in Heaven that |
one OF these little ones should perish. "
The singing was good and appropri-
ate.
Dinner was served in a nice grove
near by.
In afternoon "Why Have Sunday
schools" was discussed by county presi-
lent, L. J. Baker, E. p Hyman, J.Y.
Savage and M. T. Savage ..The How,
The Who and the What of Sunday

There is comfort in the knowledge so

the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part OF the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity OF being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

PULLMAN CAR CHARGES.

The NEW MEXICAN does not propose to
favor measures brought before the pres
emit assembly with patent sinister motlves.
Some of the powerful lobby believe that
n legislature is the proper field where may
be reaped harvest not grown IN other
localities. The NEW MEXICAN will not
sustain the position of any Individual
who can control bills in committees,
which have been introduced as a sort OF
scarecrow to interests whose only chance
for escape hes in an appeal to the war
wicks who claim to pull the strings.
There are some measures which need
action by the present assembly, and the
one most important is bill which VIII

large quantities of German sugar. ana

gleat deal of experience in seeking office
not for himself but for friends.
He says that Mr.. Lincoln would always
listen attentively TO what he had to say,
and then tell a funny story.
On his way back to the hotel he would
think over the story and find that his can
didate had been landed high and dry.
Gen. Grant always received an applica-
zion for office, as toasts to the memory
of Washington are Misunderstanding and
IN silence.
Gen. Hays listened for awhile, and then
broke into lamentations that the atten-
ton of the president should be directed
from tho great affairs of state, to dis
tribute patronage. Then he would make
memorandum in little red IN sn
