THURSDAY. AUG. 6. 1908. In this issue Hon J W Ragsdale presents to the people of Williamsbftrg his side of the Florence postoffice trouble, which caused a good deal of comment and Mr Ragsdale was adversely criticised by many for the part * I he took in the affair. There are) two sides to every question and i our people may judge for themi selves as to who was at fault when they read Mr Ragsdale's ex plana bVi J ui viviv. Our attention has been called i to the fact that in publishing the congressional campaign schedule the meeting at Lake City, appointed for Wednesday, August 5. was omitted. In justice to The Record we beg leave to say that the schedule of meetings was published exactly according to copy sent ns by the congressional candidates' secretary, with Lake City left out. The editor was absent and the temporary editor had absolutely no reason for suspecting an error in the copy furnished from headquarters. Of course the omission was unintenl tional and regrettable, but not in the least our fault. ? *> ^ + ?

It is this: Suppo V some combination of circumstances ^ were faced by the alternative' of w? ing a frock coat with brown bo Which would be the better way out It?to wear a bowler or a tall hat? UIO wruer JU5UJ ICUiUiES, 11 jvu ncai a bowler then the thing you have to explain away Is the coat. If you wear a tall hat, you have only the boots to account for. We should adv'ie those of our readers who find one morning that all the wearing apparel In the house had been stolen during the night with the exception of a frock coat, waistcoat, trousers, shirt, collar, vest, tie, a pair of brown boots and two hats ?one tall, the other round?to cut the Gordian knot by staying in bed. Another of life's dilemmas which may face the traveler down the world's dusty highway has to do with collars. Suppose on arriving at a bouse for a week end and starting to dress for dinner you find that your evening collars have got wetted by your sponge or otherwise defaced. Should you wear a clean double collar or a dirty orthodox evening collar? In the former case you will be natty, but a thing of loathing to all properly constituted men. In the latter you will give the impression that you cannot afford the services of a laundry.?London Globe. _ NAPOLEON'S HABITS. * _ The Gre?t^ JVarrior Was Fond of Parfume end Clean Linen. It Is pleasant to learn If one has Napoleon I. on the hero list that he had very dainty habits In personal matters; that he was fastidiously clean In his person, according to an article in a French contemporary, and poured eau de cologne Into the water he washed In, then sponged his head with perfume and finally poured the remainder of the contents of the fiask over bis neck and shoulders. He was also extravagantly fond of clean linen and during his campaigns had relays of It sent to different places. In those days it did not cost a farm to have starched things laundered, for, in account with a famous laundress in Paris, the em peror's linen for one wash amounted to 386 pieces and cost only a trifle over |20. This strikes an American as very reasonable, but bis majesty never wore any articie but once, and, as be always undressed bimself without aid from bis valet bis garments were literally cast to the four corners of the room. Napoleon's bill for eau de cologne, however, exceeded the washerwoman's by a large majority. It la a relief to learn that the Little Corporal was so much a dude. Some of his predecessors In the Tulleries were not blessed with such excellent habits if history Is to be relied upon. To Make Waxed Paper. This Is used for keeping substances which contain either a volatile aromatic ingredient or grease, which would penetrate through ordinary paper. On a flat sheet of copper over a gentle fire place a sheet of paper as a base and then lay a second sheet on the top of the first. Coat this second sheet with yellow or white wax and distribute the latter uniformly over the entire sheet by means of a sponge, exerting a little pressure, till the paper is everywhere transparent and consequently permeated by the wax. If the fire is too feeble, the process will be retarded. Too powerful a flame is still more harmful, as the paper is liable to bepnma hrrttrn r?r hlnolr Stearin mST he used Instead of wax.?Der Indnstriose Geschaftsmann.
