Letter to Sheriff Powell. Henderson, A. V. Dear Siu: A painter complained that our cans are too full; unhandy; spill. It's a way we have; 'tis handier not to be full; but we have weakness for full-measure.

Our gallon contains eight pints; the usnal "gallon" is seven. We'll think it over again; but we like a full can. How much short would you like a barrel? Seven gallons would be the proportion. Short-measure suggests that the shortage is probably not in the cheapest ingredient. Guess we'll stick to four quarts to a gallon, and fifty gallons a barrel.

Memorial Dav was observed with becoming ceremonies at Kittrell as has been the custom for years under tue auspices ol C. U. Blacknall Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, jura. u. w.

Ulacknall, president. In response to invitations sent out by Mr. and Mrs. Blacknall, a goodly number of the Daughters of the Confederacy, Veterans of Henry L. Wyatt Camp, and others, went from Hen derson and carried flowers.

The exercises were held in Continental Hall, which the Continental Plant Company tendered for the use 01 tne occasion. Confederate flags, evergreens and eut flowers decorated the walla and pillars about the room. Capt. W. B.

Shaw delivered the ad dress. Saying that we need not say what manner of speech it was. Carjt. Shaw speaks well on any and all oc casions, but when he has for his subject the heroes of the Lost Cause and the woman of the South, and the occasion was one of this kind when honors are paid to their memory, he is peculiarly happy. We shall not at tempt to follow him through his splendid address of last Wednesday.

To quote him in part would only be to mar the beautiful setting of his speech as a whole. Capt. Shaw spoke eloquently and feelingly, his reference to the old soldiers present, calling each oue by name, their fast thining ranks and the mention of others who had been present on former occasions but who have crossed over the river to rest in the shade of the trees with their leaders and comrades, was es pecially touching. And again when he spoke of this being the last time in all probability that he would ever have the pleasure of speaking to the Veterans aud the Daughters of the Confederacy, as he is going away to a distant State to make his home, and the admonition he gave to keep up this beautiful and sacred custom of honoring the memory of the heroic dead and strewing flowers upon their graves, the tears could scarce be restrained. At the conclusion of Capt.

Shaw's address the assembled company went in a body to the cemetery where fifty-two Confederate dead are buried and decorated the graves with flowers. This cemetery is the special charge of Mrs. Blacknall whose purpose it is to erect a monument with the name, State and date of the death of each carved thereon, most of the money necessary for this object having already been raised through her own industry and untiring efforts. The ceremonies at the cemetery closed with the benediction being pronounced by Rev. J.

H. Henderlite, after which Mr. Blacknall invited all present to his home to be the quests of Mrs. Blacknall and himself the remainder of the afternoon. Aud especially to every Confederate Veteran, uo matter who he was or where he was from, was this invitation extended, 6aid Mr.

Blacknall, with the promise that he should have the best seat and the biggest piece of cake in the house. The invitation was accepted gladly. We all knew what delightful hosts and splendid entertainers Mr. and Mrs. Blacknall are and it was a pleas- use to be their guests.

Light punch was served in the halt after which the compauy was ushered into the dining rooms to partake of a feast of ice cream and cake. The time was most pleasantly spent in social conversation, looking at the war relics and Indian curios, of which Mr. Blacknall has quite an in teresting collect ion, and admiringthe beautiful flowers about the place until the hour for the arrival of the train admonished all that they must depart. Thus ejded an afternoon of rare pleasure and enjoyment each one acknowledging himself debtor to Mr. and Mrs.

Plans for the- new Graded School building were submitted to the trustees last week. There were several competitors, the claims of each one being carefully crone over and consid ered. The contest was finallv nar rowed down to two, Architects Lin-thicum, of Durham, and Wheeler, of Charlotte.

Each one possessed certain features and characteristics which commended them to the trus tees while wanting in other resDccts. These gentlemen were called before the Board and certain alterations and additions suggested, after which it was thought that one or the other of the plans might be acceptable. Perfected plans with blue prints and complete detailed specifications are to be made, the architect being paid for his trouble even if his design is not accepted. These will probably be ready about 10 days when bids for constructing the building will be asked for. Whatever may be decided upon as to the style of architecture let us uot have a cheap building.

We are not building for the present alone but for the future also. Hot Weather Piles. Persons afflicted with Pileu should becareful at this season of the year.

Payne, of St. Vincent's Hospital, Norfolk, and Dr. Al- Dert Anderson, of the Wilson Sani-torium, published elsewhere in this paper, endorsing Buckhorn Lithia Water. Dr. Payne has been using this water himself and prescribing it ior nis patients lor some time, and after carefully noticing results he does not hesitate to speak in favor 01 it.

Buckhorn Lithia Water has twice the amount of lithia of the most famous waters. Guaranteed to neu tralize uric acid more quickly than any other known mineral water, and will furnish more relief in all kidney troubles. The shippers guarantee, that, of all the mineral waters so far known.this is the most powerful diuretic. They will furnish a case of any other water regardless of its reputation or price, and convince, by actual, scientific there is not a lithia water known to the public that will equal Buckhorn Lithia in all uric acid diathesis. Buckhorn Lithia Water is growing in favor rapidly.

It is beinjr introduced into new territory and everywhere the most satisfactory results follow its use. It has the highest professional endorsements as a specific for constipation, indigestion, stomach and bowel troubles. And it is, moreover, an agreeable table water, exceedingly light and free from any disagreeable mineral taste, whatever. A 6ndden attack at night of some form of Bowel Complaint may come to any pne.

at Parker's Two Drug Stores. The Gillette Safety Razor. The Parham Brothers Supply Company last week got in an invoice of three dozen Gillette Safety Razors, and they have sold half of them already. There are several different kinds of safety razors but competent judges pronounce the Gillette the best safety razor made. It is a beautiful little affair, triple silver plated, is simply made and can be easily taken apart for cleaning.

More than 400 shaves without stropping is a low average of the number of shaves that can be secured with it. With each razor there are twelve double-edged blades of wafer steel, tempered so hard by the secret process of the manufacturers, that they must be ground with diamond dust, and so perfect ly sharpened, every one will give from ten to forty delightful, velvety shaves without stropping. That is what the manufacturers claim for them but one man, L. Greenwood, auditor of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Sioux City, Iowa, writes that he has used one blade sixty-two times and is still using it. "When the blades are dull they can be exchanged, the manufacturers giving one new blade for every two returned to them.

Repeated exchanging in this waygi ves an equivalent of twenty-two blades with every outfit. After they are all used, new ones can be purchased at so low a price that your shaving will cost you but a fraction of a cent a Calf at the Parham Bros.

A young negro man, aged eighteen or twenty years, was found dead beside the railroad track near the coal chute Monday morning. The top of his head was torn off and a leg and arm broken beside other injuries about the body. The presumption is that he was killed by an extra freight going outu aooui. uuta. morning after the passenger trains had gone, while attempting to board it to steal a ride.

No one seems to have witnessed the accident and no particulars are known. The negro appears to have been a stranger although some have claimed that he had worked town and was seen the night before at a restaurant where he got supper.
