The following from the Post
master at Hawkinsville through
the News and Dispatch, applies
with equal force to every postoffice
in the United States.
The daily average of mail mat
ter sent to the Dead Letter Office
at "Washington, D. C., from all'
over the United States is over
twenty thousand pieces- The num
ber sent from our Hawkinsville
postoffice is about one hundred per
month.- This great amount of mail
matter that cannot be cteliver e cl
not only entails vast labor and ex
pense upon the Postoffice Depart
ment, but also occasions loss and
inconvenience to that portion of
the public affected thereby.
It is the earnest desire of the
Postoffice Department that this un
fortunate state of affairs be reme
died. To the end that the postal
service may be improved in this re
spect in our community the edi
tors of the Dispatch and News
have kindly consented to publish
this brief statement of the facts.
The public alone can remedy tlie
difficulty. Mail matter must, be
carefully and legibly directed. It
should have on the outside,
Return to -(the sender
giving bis postoffice address) if
NOT CALLED FOB IN -DAYS.
The Postal Laws require us Jo
advertise all matter not called for
within, ten days after it is received,
and to send such to the Dead Let
ter Office as cannot be delivered
within thirty days.
Misdirection, incorrect, illegible
and deficient address are the lead
ing causes why mail matter does
not reach its proper destination.
If due care were exercised in these
particulars the trouble would
largely be remedied. These state
ments are made in the hope that
they may lead to an improvement
in the postal service of Pulaski
countydn regard to mail matter
which cannot be delivered for . the
reasons mentioned.

Secretary Windom boasts that
the treasury has disbursed 853,-
000,000 within the last twenty-
three days for bond purchases, an
ticipated interest and pensions. He
states also, in the same spirit of
glorification, that he paid during
the first eighteen months of the
present administration nearly? W0,-
000,000 upon the unmatured obli
gations of the government.
In spite of these and other ex
traordinary disbursements the
money has been, most of the.time,
tight. Aud congress has, during
the past six months, passed appro
priations with a recklessness un
parallelled hitherto, fo the end that
there may be no surpias hereafter
either to retain money from the-
channels of business or to make
the treasury an ally of Wall Street.,
Where did all the money letely
disbursed or still locked up, come
from?
From the pockets of the peopl e.

who earned it—there would have
been no surplus to incite: extrava
gance, no lack up of currency to
cripple business.
For six years the democrats in
congress tried in vain, against con
stant republican opposition aud ob
struction, to stop the surplus by
reducing taxes. Within a year and
a half after obtaining unchecked
control of the government the re
publicans have spent the surplus
plus and have dow forced a bill
through congress increasing the
taxes to prevent a deficiency.
It is the people’s money that
pays for all this. The election

In England and other parts of
Europe, horseshoes are now in
use, made of cowhide instead of
iron. The shoe is composed of
three teicknesses of the hide which
is.pressed into a steel mold and af
terward treated by a chemical
preparation. The shoe is quite
smooth on the outside surface, no
calks being needed, as the shoe ad
heres .firmly on polished pave
ments. It is claimed this shoe is
much lighter than the iron one,
lasts longer, and that the hoofs of
horses wearing them never split. .

'Several years ago I was covered
Boils to such an extent that my
life was a misery. After trying a
number of other remedies without
any ■"benefit, I was advised by a
wholesale druggist at Columbus to
try SI S. S. (Swift’s Specific). One
bottle of S„S. S. cured me entire
ly. I have not had a Boil since.
To those .afflicted with Boils or
Skin Eruptions I giye the same
advice my wholesale druggist gave
me—take S. S. S.

Paper Barrels-
After three years..of expert
mental work? an English company
has succeeded in producing paper
barrels which are able to compete
favorably withe barrels made of
wood. The paper barrels are used
at present, principally for the car
riage of gunpowder, mining fuses,
fruit, flowers, molasses, paints, ce
ment, matches, chemicals, dyes,
asbestos, sugar, size and extract
of meat, The materials used
making the barrels are waste pa
per cardboard and (for the better
qualities) old sacks.—When card
board is used it is soaked or boil
ed for six hours and afterwards
treated in the same manner as the
other raw material. This is care
fully sorted and put into a rag en
gine or beater; where it is beaten
and torn to pieces by a series of
knives for about an hour and a
half. It is afterwards mixed with
water until a pulp of uniform con
sistency is gained. This is rolled,
joined, shaped and dried,, and the
barrel finally-covered with hoops.
Before the tops and bottoms are
put in, the barrels are painted with
a waterproof composition, made of
linseed oil and rosin, for ordinary
purpose barrels, and with-a special
varnish where they are used for
food products;' The standard size
made is 16^ inches in diameter by
28 inches long. The price at
which these barrels 'can be* pro
duced enables them to compete fa-
•ably with wooden bariels; a
barrel costing 34 cents in wood
can, when made of paper, be sold
for 28 cents. One great feature is
that there is no waste' with" the
process, all “wasters” being beat
en up into pulp again.
