istic reply to an inquiry as to whether
he had made his regular trips over his
route, Smyrna r. F. D. No. l, during
the recent severe freeze, was in York
willie last Wednesday on business, and
the reporter took advantage Of the op-
portunity to again refer to what he
had said about "the pure in heart" II
didn't know you was going to print
that" said the mail man, in that ini-
mitable drawl, so familiar to his
friends, "or 1 wouldn't have said 1t
that way" Nobody who knows Bob
will accuse him Of any lack Of mod
esty, and that he was not seeking no
toriety, everybody will believe, but dur
ing his conversation he let slip in
matter of fact way another remark
that seems to emphasize the Difficult
ties of his feat in making the round
of his route along rough roads block
ed by overhanging limbs. II just took
nv axe along" he drawled, "and had
q few limbs to cut out of the way-not
verv many" The reporter asked Mr..
Castles about the present condition Of
the roads and he replied: We'll, the
roads are pretty rough"

If the present cotton movement
amounts to any practical benefit 1t will
necessarily bring about a re-adiust-

dustrial and political. If some people
are helped others must be hurt, or at

from the people who are most radical

1T would be a great thing If the pres
ent legislature could devise some law
that would reach that detestable pest
the marriage joker. But few papers
in this state have escaped being VIC
timized by him. Only few days ago,
the Chronicle was led into publishing
a fake marriage notice by one OF these
jokers. 1t is hard to get at them, how
ever for in most cases, when they
send the announcement by mail. the
name which they sign is, upon lnVes-
tigation found to be not their own. In
a few cases, like that mentioned above,
the Joker boldly visits the office and
gives the false news. These jokers
usually give or send in the information
in such a way as to cause no suspicion
of it's genuineness. OF course publ
cations of this kind cause much dis
tress to the parties involved, and 1t Is
supposed that it is to gloat over this
distress that the joker Is inspired to
do his work One way to stop the bus
mess would be to land few OF them
on the haingang.-Charlotte Chroni-
Gle.
THE ENQUIRER has had more or less
experience along this line also. 1t oc-
casionally receives marriage notices
signed by pc ople whose identity can
not be established conveniently, and
as a rule these notices go into the
waste basket OF course, it is possible
that this paper may be made the We
hicle of the joker's schemes some
times: but every reasonable care is
exercised TO avoid giving unnecessary
pain or ammo ance to the would be vic
tins of such silly jokes.

Just grounds. Woman's garb is in
deed unhealthful.
Only the very richest women can at
ford both to dress and to be operated
on. OF the middle class, there is now
and then a woman brave enough to
prefer being trump to retaining all
her yiscera, but the great majority
win choose to be In style, and for the
rest, to suffer, except as they may
take advantage of free clinics.
Among the poor the case is even
worse. Nothing could be more pre-
judicial to health than the condition OF
the woman who, after having paid
for her clothes has nothing left for
car fare. For If her shoes match her
hat and frock, she cannot possibly
walk in a graceful manner without
straining important muscles. More
over. worrying for fear people will not
attribute her husbands wearing his
old hat TO eccentricity in the end af-

In general, the inability Of woman's
garb to hang from the shoulders and
look like anything has to be consider
