He WANTS HIS PETITION"
The Complaint North Carolinian Sends
to the Post Office Department.

A proprietor of loan and dscounting
house in Newbern, n. c. writes to the
Post Office Department at Washington
as follows, says the New York Sun:
Il am ashamed to feel called upon to
have to write you this under this admin
istration. | had fond nOpes that every
thing would run smoothly along for me
under this administration. | went through
enough, / thought, to establish this adj
mlnlstrat1on two years prior to its ex-
lstence to guarantee 10 me rest and ease
of conscience
Complaint ask that you send a Post
Office detective to w. S. Hyam, Senator
Pritchard's private secretary, and de-
mand Of him to deliver up paper-a pc
tttion-sent him through the United
States mails, containing stamped en-
velope, it being property belonging to me.
| sent him this petition in proper writing.
with request that he return it by return
mail, signed or unsigned. | have written
him one dozen times to return the petit
ton and he does not ever answer me my
letters. Am ! to be wronged in such way
under this administration? God forbid!
An administration | think so much of.
Why should w. S. Hyam be permitted to
retain my property, my stamped enve-
lopes. my petition, that cost me money
to get? 1t does not belong to him. 1t be-
longs TO me, and has valuable names on
it. 1t is no good to him in any way. What
in the name of God is he trying to do by
keeping it from me? Because he is
against me, he must not keep my papers
and not account for them. If you give
me no relief | know of no other remedy
at the present time other than give it to

WISE MEN KNOW

Il ) folly to build upon a poor founda-
ion, either in architecture or in health.
A foundation of sand is insecure, and
to deaden symptoms by narcotics or
nerve compounds is equally dangerous
and deceptive. The true way to build
up health is to make your blood pure,
rich and nourishing by taking Hoods

plosiOn.
A. man named Murphy was injured
svhile working in mine near Summer
vile Yesterday afternoon. He had lit the
fuse and left the hole, and after wait
ing some time, thought the fuse had gone
out and returned. 1t was merely delay
ed, however, and exploded just as he was
nearing the shot. He was pretty badly
bruised, his knee broken and his body
badly cut.
Murphy was In the employ of Dave
Evans and was sinking the mine alone
and it was some time before he attracted
attention by calling for aid. He has been
in nearly destitute circumstances for
some time and will, probably. have to
become county charge. The county
commissioners were telephoned to this
morning for aid and sent up rig to
bring the wounded man to Boulder.
