BOX DELIVERY UNSATISFACTORY.
Postmaster Holt Points Out Some of
the Many Disadvantages.
Postmaster W. S. Holt made
the following statement to a
Democrat reporter recently, says
the Little Rock Democrat:
“The resolution adopted by
the Fourth-class Postmasters’
Association recommends the dis
continuance of box service on
star routes and the establish
ment of rural routes in their
stead. Four years ago the gov
ernment, for the first time, un
dertook the delivery of mail on
star routes. Contracts for car
rying the mail were let to the
lowest responsible bidders, but
the law permits any one who
can read and write and who is
sixteen years of age to become
carriers. The result is in a great
many cases a very poor class of
carriers is secured, many irre
sponsible boys, and the mail is
mi O rvlo ITT U7 T*DTT (T
boxes, resulting in much confus
ion. No general disposition to
use this service has been shown
by the people. Probably no
more than twenty-five families
in Pulaski county are using the
service. A storm of protests
and complaints from those who
do attempt to use the service has
arisen on account of its inefficien
cy. The service is also very un
satisfactory on account of the
irregularity of the delivery, for
there are frequent delays of sev
eral hours, making it most in
convenient for patrons who live
some distance off the routes.
The star routes are under the di
rection of contractors, while the
rural routes are under the direct
supervision of the postmaster,
who is thus enabled to exercise
a direct control of the service.”
GOV. DAVIS AT MALVERN.
Says Senator Berry May Be Pulled Out
of the Race.
Malvern, Ark., August 8.—
Gov. Jeff Davis and ex-State
Senator W. F. Kirby, candidates
for United States Senator and
Attorney-General, addressed an
audience of 800 at the court
house here tonight. The former ;
delivered a characteristic speech,
consuming one and a half hours,
during which he compared his
own record as governor with
that of Senator Berry as gover
nor, showing that progress of'
the state during his (Davis’) ad
ministration had been very re
markable. He charged that in
dications are in evidence that
Congressman Brundidge may yet
be substituted for Senator Berry
is his opponent.
Suspects Released.
Jonesboro, Aug. 8.— The three
nen who have been in quaran
:ine here for the past three days
vere released yesterday after
loon by order of the board of
lealth, there being no sign of
.-ellow fever. The city is rapid
y being put in a perfect sanita
ry condition. There are no fears
it all felt by the board of health
is to a case of yellow fever here, j
V strict quarantine is being
naintained, and no one is al
owed to enter the city without
i qualified health certificate, i
rhe board of health is doing
everything to prevent the ap
vearance of a case of yellow
‘ever.
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.
arm Work Progresses Linder Suitable
Weather—Cotton and Cotton
Improving.
With showers the first of the
veek, and warm, dry weather
he latter part, conditions were
avorabie for farm work and for
[rowing crops: however, rain
rould be beneficial in some sec-1
tions for corn and cotton. Cotton
shows improvement, but is small
: and not fruiting well generally,
and there is complaint of insects
injuring the crop in some locali
ties. Early corn i3 generally
doing well, and in some sections
is maturing nicely; the late crop
is good in some sections and
poor in others, and gener
ally would be benefited by rains.
Irish and sweet potatoes and
peas are good crops. Some late
Irish potatoes have been planted
and turnips sown.
There is less complaint of ap
ples and peaches dropping and
peaches will be a fair crop and
apples will be light.
Pastures are generally good
and stock is healthy and do.ng
i well.

Passed Stone and Gravel With Excruciating Pains
A. H. Thurnes, Mgr. Wills Creek Coal Co., Buffalo, O., writes:
“I have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, pass
ing gravel or stones with excruciating pains. Other medicines only
gave relief. After taking FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE the result was
surprising. A few doses started the brick dust, like fine stones, etc.,
and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man.
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE has done me $1,000 worth of good.”
No Other Remedy Can Compare With it
Thos. W. Carter, of Ashboro, N. C., had Kidney Trouble and
one bottle of FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE effected a perfect cure, and
he says there is no remedy that will compare with it.
