Hunsarians Heaviest Patrons Of
Money Order Department.

The week preceding Christmas is
without doubt one of hard labor and
endurance on the part Of the mail
carrier, as his work Is almost doubled
and as a consequence, he is often
Obliged to carry an extra sack in or
der that he may get his portion Of the
mail distributed before the day Is over.
This Of course, adds extra weight and
such packages and boxes which come
through the mails during this part Of
the year are quite bulky and require
a considerable amount of space.
There are 30 carriers and five substl.
tues in tine service in this city and dur
ing the holidays about Ave men are
added 10 the force. In the downtown
districts. the mail is generally the
heaviest and these carriers are obliged
to make about eight trips a day. on
the outskirts Of the city, four trips are
sometimes required In order to get the
nail distributed. The office force Is
composed Of 1S men who are also kept
unusually busy. The postofiicc officials
report that the mail this year Is about
% per cent. heavier than in previous
years.
Officials in the money order depart
ment are about the busiest of the en-
tire force and are on the jump from the
time the windows go up in the morn
ing until they are closed for the day.
They report that the Hungnrinns send
lnpger amounts Of money to the old
country than those Of any other nation
ality. The amounts range from $50
10 $500. This can be accounted for by
the fact that I'm most cases, the father
OF son comes to this country to work
where he can earn more, and support
their families at home. A good share
cf this money Is probably sent to some
relative to dcfray his or her expenses
10 this country. The receipts in this
department average about $4,000 q
month.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE

Symptoms of a Very Common Trouble?
There is no disease so common in the
United States as Catarrh because il aD-
pears in so many forms and attacks 50
many different organs.
II is common mistake to suppose hat
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat
Any inflammation of the mucous menu
brane wherever located accompanied by
abnormal secretions, is catarrh. Ca-arrh
of stomach or bladder, or intestines is
nearly as common as nasal catarrh and
much more serious, although it is true
that stomach catarrh ana catarTh Of
other internal organs is the result Of
neglected nasal cataTn.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to bo re
markably effective in promptly curing.
catarrh, wherever located. The prepGra-
ton is sold by druggists generally under
name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, and
in addition to being very palatable and
convenient, possesses extraordinary
merit, in many eases, giving immediate
relief from the coughing. hawking and
constant clearing of he throat and head,
those symptoms with which everyone is
familiar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply q continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
OF Hydrastin. Red Gum and similar an
tiseptics and catarrh specifics, from
which it will be seen that no secret is
made of the ingredients and also that
no mineral poisons are used, as is the
case with many we'll know catarrh medi
cines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat, bron-
chial tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in
testines or bladder no preparation is 50
safe and gives such rapid and perma-
nent results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SOC. for full
sized packages. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract the
cocaine or morphine habit as the results
from this catarrh cure are apparent from
the first days use.

TIE AFTEP TAKING

Here IS about the letter Senator
Pritchard felt like writing yesterday:
Marshall, n. c., Nov. 9Th, 1902.
Dear Sir.-The official returns from
the various counties in the State clearly
show that we have made no gains in
any voting precinct, except around a few
Government diStilleries whose owners
were afraid to fight us, for fear of being
prosecuted or interfered with by our
Bung Smellers and doodlers.
I am sure that we have failed to elect
our State ticket by some sixty-five
thousand majority. and so far as Con-
gressmen are concerned we haven't a
single one left from Marshall to Manteo,
and we have not enough legislators to
call the aye and no vote even If we
wanted to go on record against pension
ing the old Confederate soldiers l am
sorry now that / advised every voter TO
attend the polls at as early an hour
as possible. Indeed, I wish every
mothers son of them negroes and all
had stayed away until shutdown.
The managers of the Democratic party
are awfully elated and are sending out
all manner of statements as to the ma
jority in the State, and the worst of it
is that our own poll-holders who were
opposed TO The Democratic machine, arc
signing the returns. For this reason
you must, of course, pay attention to
them, both one way and the other, but
my advice to you now is to go to work
and keep constantly at it, for judging
from the returns in New York and all
over the country, me and Roosevelt will
not be able to keep any of our promises.
Indeed it would appear from all indica-
tions that even we will be statesmen
without jobs before very long
With best wishes, l am,
Sincerely yours
JADED SEE PRITCHARD,
Chairman.

Brilliant Social Event, Sermon by DR. Brat.
ton---The Students Building

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c.. Nov. 5.-A member
of the post graduate class of the Normal
and Industrial College has kindly fur
nishcd the following interesting items of
tie life and progress at that splendid
institution:
On Saturday night the college was
the scene of one of the most brilliant
social events in it's history, when g. re-
ception was rendered the Freshman class
by the Sophomore class. Artistically
engraved invitations were issued by the
SophomOres to their guests. The college
building was transformed into a verita-
bic fairyland with cedars, autumn leaves.
bunting, and numerous other accessories.
The reception rooms were decorated in
green and white and blue and white, the
class colors of both Sophomore and
Freshmen, while the entire building was
a perfect network of ribbons in those col
ors, which the hosts and guests, each be-
ginning with her own class colors, fol-
lowed through the intricate meshes of a
spider web until one of each met at toy
which the Freshman carried away as a
souvenir of this delightful function. and
was herself conducted to the dining room
where the ldDieS were OdluIlly ueCOIdleu
with flowers and candles and refresh
| ments were served by Dughi, the caterer,
| from Raleigh. Toasts were prepared and
responded to with a brilIiancy suggestive
| of the more advanced classes. The en-
! tire occasion was most delightful and
will long be remembered by all who
were SO fortunate as to attend.
On Sunday night the Young Woman S
| Christian Association had both the
pleasure and profit of listening 10 a
strong and beautiful sermon by the Rev.
DR.. Bratton, rector of ST. Marys School,
| Raleigh and enjoying the beautiful and
| impressive services of the Episcopal
