Origin of the Picture Postal Cards

The originator of pictorial post
cards was Frenchman, NJ. Besnard
eau of le-Guillaume, in the De.
partment of La Sarthe. To this gen
tleman occurred the happy thought,
at the time of the war with Germany,
that, as there were 10000 conscripts,
most of them somewhat illiterate, in
the camp of Conile, he might as well
sell them cards instead of paper and
envelopes. He did so, illustrating
his cards with pictures of cannons
and shells, quickly cleared out his
stock, and responded to the continu-
ing demand by issuing a second Sc
ries with spaces on which soldiers
were invited to write the names of
any battles in which they might have
taken Westminster Gazette.

Beware of Ointments For Catarrh That
Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable ply

to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured

Pursued by the Japanese Fleet
(By the Associated Press.) }

st. Petersburr Aug. 10.-Again
the chance of decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the COM
mander of the Japanese armies seems
TO be disappearing. According to a
statement issued by the general staff
tonight rains are again falling over a
wide area in Manchuria, with the pros
pect of impeding operations, but even
more important is the information
reaching the Associated Press tonight
from an exceptional source that the
japanese once more have delayed too
long.
General Kuropatkin has now with
drawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Liao Yang. leaving only a
strong rear guard line southeast of
Liao Yang to contest the advance when
it comes.
According to this information the
japanese hove about three hundred
thousand men in the armies operat-
ing against General kuropatkin, rem
dering IL too haZaIti ~. tef him to risk
a general engagement.
The general staff has no information
bearing on the reported presence of Il
large force of Japanese at PaithuhuO,
a place that cannot be located on
available maps. The report agrees,
however, with the general tenor of the
received by the Associated
Press and here given that General ku-
ropatkin is already retreating north of
Lao Yang.

hundred men.
The preparatory work has been un-

been admirably done, his experience in
the war with Spain being of immense
advantage The tents are all up, the
men are being we'll fed and no COM

Four specials and one regular train
brought the soldiers to what proves to
be an ideal camp, situated three miles
west of Morehead City, between the
railroad and Bogue Sound in an open
field girded by trees. Just few steps
and the soldiers can play Judge Par

The weather is magnificent: the sol

of the ground, say that this will be the

AND FREE DELIV-
ERY.
They are Making Union COunty's Far
merS EntcrDrising and Progressive
Says Editor 7. u. Green.

Mr.. J. u. Green, editor of Our Home,
of Marshville, was in the city yester-
day. and speaking of his county, said ::
Union county is not getting rish as
fast as some counties in the State, but
there are evidences of substantial pro
gress in the rural districts. The ten
ant system does not prevail to the eX-
tent it did a few years ago. and there
are comparatively few of our white
farmers who do not own their homes.
The isolation incident to farm life
under former conditions is rapidly dis
appearing among Union county far
mers. We have decidedly the most ex-
tensive rural telephone system in the
State. We have probably six or seven
hundred phones in the rural districts
and that means that they are in every
neighborhood in the county.
THE system of rural free delivery
of mails has almost covered the coun-
ty, and with this and the rural tele-
phone system our farmers enjoy con-
veniences of cities, without having the
Objectionable surroundings of city life.
If you want to see progress that is
substantial, watch the rural districts
of Union. In politics our farmers are
conservative. They have no leaders
and are not easily swept off their feet
when it comes to matters political.
"Our rural school districts are grad
ually adopting the system of local tax
alton for schools, thus making the
public school terms longer and better
If there's any other modern methods
of progress that Union county folks
haven't adopted, it's because they have
not heard of them, and if there's any
improved methods eSted they'll
hear of it, for they have the facilities
for hearing of things-rural free deliv-
cry and rural telephones

The speech of acceptance of Judge
Atom b. Parker created most favor
able comment among all thoughtful
classes yesterday. Like the man who
made it, it is both safe and sound"
and exhibits in gratifying degree the
quality of reverence for the political
and governmental precedent upon
which the Republic was originally
founded. 1t is but another lick in the
circumstances which time is constant
ly forging into widespread confidence
in Democratic success in the nation
belief which will do more than all
other courses combined to render vic
torv sure at the polls in November
Governor Aycock, who has been an
earnest Parker man from the begin
ming, was seen yesterday and when
asked for an expression concerning
the speech of the party's candidate,
said:
1.-The speech of Judge Parker must
give great satisfaction to the people
of the United States 1t gives hope of
return to constitutional methods of
governing the country.
even if he should not be elected,
the prospect of which seems now more
than hopeful, his speech will furnish
the text for many addressed designed
to lead them in authority back to
the days of the fathers. when the
three branches of government were CO..
ordinate and independent and when
the constitution has the boundary of
governmental action.
His reply to the spirit of jingo-ism
is very strong. He shows conclusively
that this country is, and has always
been, world power-not by reason
of arms, but through its love of lib
artV ragula fed bY law
The speech sits him in sharp con-
trast with President Roosevelt and
the contrast is most favorable to De-
mocracy."
