1t is the desire of the post office
department that patrons of rural
mail paint their boxes and post a
pure white color and an effort is be-
ing made to have this done through
out the country. The request is
made for the double purpose of pre-
serving the post and protecting the
box as we'll as uniformity of identifi-
cation. It. is also urged that the
name of the patron be marked on
each box. To this end the depart
ment is writing to postmasters and
urging that patrons be urged to
paint box and post.
We are publishing the above clip
ping from the Greenville Reflector
with the hope that our R. F. D. pat
rons will heed the request of the
post office department, and especially
the part about placing their name on
the box. 1t will take only few min
utes time to carry out the request
of the Government. 1t is so often
that we travel along the road, see a
nice farm and beautiful home and
mail box on the road side but no
name on the box to tell a stranger
who lives there. Let us get busy
about this matter.

now TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
II IS an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
IN the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an in
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide.' Tested in
hundreds Of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
lieve it will cure you. "Rheumacide
"gets at the joints from the inside, y
sweeps the poisons out Of the system,
tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide strikes
the root Of the disease and removes
it's cause" This splendid remedy is

GETTING TOGETHER.

We want to see the people Of Scot.
land Neck get together. There can
be no growth and enterprise until
this is done. In writing along a
general line the Standard-Laconic,
of Snow Hill, N. c., last week made
the following sensible observation:
MANY misunderstanding be-
tween individuals and between par
ties would be prevented if people
would only get together and talk
matters over calmly and IN friendly
spirit. 1t is the remaing apart that
does the mischief, because it engen-
ders suspicion and wrong views.
There is wonderful clarifying and
soothing power in the sitting side by
side in spirit Of fairness and with
the one desire of reaching the truth
and cultivating friendly relations.
This is where boards of Cancellation,
commissions and interviews, official
or unofficial, have their value
But this getting together is USE
full not only when discordance of
views exists, but also in getting peo-
pie of similar opinions to work as
one body for the furtherance OF
some good object. The progress of
many cities is retarded not so much
from diversity of views and absence
of a spirit of accord, as from the
fact that their citizens do not get to.
gether and cooperate. A single in.
dividual, however good his project
and however pure his motive, may
accomplish little, but the combina
ton of nuuber of individuals ami
mated by the same purpose. car
oftentimes achieve wonders in pro
noting the business, social, aesthetic
and moral welfare of the place II
which they live. One person is bu
one, but let him join with another
and the power IS more than doubled
1t is not that one and one make two
but in numerals they often stand fol
eleven, and that is generally tn,
ratio of influence when they get to
gether and work.

The Statesville Landmark very
quietly contends that it is wrong for
the various judicial districts to NOM
mate Judges and then the whole
State have to vote for them since it
is true that the Judges serve in all
the districts from the sea to the
mountains. AS a remedy, the Land
mark advocates the nomination of
Judges by the State Convention. 1t
says
1T is often the case that experience
ed, able and popular judges are de-
feated by politicians in district con-
ventions, as was the case of Judge
Shaw few years ago. If the work
Of a Judge was confined to his home
district people outside the district
would have no right to pass on the

col. COOPER FREE.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee
last week affirmed the verdict of
guilty in the case of Col. Duncan B.
Cooper, and gave his son, Robin, a
new trial. These men were under a
sentence Of 20 years in the peniten-
tiary for the murder of former Sen
ator Carmack on the streets of Nash.
vile Tenn, in the fall of 1908. The
Chief Justice had hardly finished
reading the decision before Governor
Patterson signed the pardon giving
Col. Cooper his freedom. The Gov.
ernor was an important witness in
the trial Of the Coopers and he has
very decided views as to their guilt
In statement given out to the press
he said:-
In my opinion neither of the de-
PENDANTS is guilty and they have not
had fair and impartial trial, but
were convicted contrary to the law
and the evidence"
Governor Patterson may be honest
in his belief, but he will have hare
time making the outside world be-
lieve but what the Coopers ought t.
be punished. In his act of pardon
he has brought about a blot on the
name of his fair State that it will
take generations to outlive.
1t is hardly thought that Robin
Cooper will ever be tried again and
even if he should be convicted thu
Governor would as promptly issue /.
pardon for him as he did for the ole
man.
