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.

for sore feet, as well as for healing
burns, sores, cuts, and all manner
of abrasions," writes Mr W Stone,

proper thing too for piles. Try it!

' Weighty Problem# That Are Puzzling
Our English CouJns.
A problem is put forward by a
in a contemporary which give? xl
for thought. 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
