?OME PARCEL I?OST HISTORY. England Installed System .10 Yean? Ago-Henry Fawcett lt? Author. (London Answers.) This week I celebrate my 30th birthday, for I was born on August 1, 1883. My "father" was the late Henry Fawcett, the famous blind postmas ter general. I was talked of, how ever, for a long tim? before his ge nius and determination made me a reality. So early as 184 2 people were agi tating for a parcel post, but the rail way companies constantly and suc cessfully opposed. Later, Lord Fortescue, Edwin Chadwick and Prof. Jevons fought hard in turn on my behalf, hut lt was Air. Fawcett who finally overcame all difficulties, and got an act passed authorizing me. Without boasting, I was a success from tho start. Of course, I wasn't perfect, but th? first year 1 delivered 20,000,000 parcels. A mer? fica hite, however, compared with the ltiO.000,000 or so parcels I now deal with annually-that is, taking the whole country. At first I lived in the basement of the gen?ral post office, but in 1X87 1 removed to my present quarters at Mount Pleasant, where I deal with about 700,000 parcels a week. Again, at first my operations were ?confined to this country, but in lSS.r> a foreign and colonial service was introduced, and has- since grown enormously. Maximum Weight Increased. Tho original maximum weight for a parcel was 7 pounds, and the charge was 1s. To-day I will carry 11 pounds for you for sevenpence. The. reduction was arrived at in three stages. In 188G I undertook to carry ll pounds for ls Gd. In diamond jubilee year I reduced the charge to ls, and In 1906 I knocked off a penny. One great effect of my appearance on the scene was tb? reintroduction of stage coaches. These I employed wherever possible to avoid the high rates the railways insisted on charg ing me. Among other places, my London coaches ran to Brighton, Oxford, Cambridge-, Ipswich, Ramsgate, Mar gate, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells, while in the provinces I had a coach service between Liverpool and Man chester. To-day I havo no hors? coaches, motor vans having replaced them. Th? last of the hors? coaches was the Oxford one, which was stopped about four years ago. I rather re gret the passing of tho stage coach. Galloping through th? night, with frequent relays of horses, was an ex hilarating experience. Then the stage coach was more "intelligent" than the motor van. Mechanical Met lu ids. For example, on one occasion my Chatham coach ran Into a dense fog. md th? driver took the wrong road, "he horses, however, knew better han he did, stopped dead, and re tsed to go on, with tho result that ? discovered his mistake. A motor ?ach Is a clever piece of mechanism, but cannot be expected to know when it has taken the wrong turning, like the girl in th? play. In speed there is not much in it between horse and motor coach, for th? latter ls limited to ll miles an hour, though Imagina tive persons have accused it of trav eling between 30 and 40. But, of course, the motor beats th? horse for distance, and among my long-distance motor services ls th? London to Birmingham one. i Any exciting incidents? No; noth ing sensational. Once four men got on to th? Ramsgate stage coach on some pretext or other, but at Chat ham a police officer happened to "spot" two of them as well-known ?iiioves, and any robbery they may have intended was frustrated. On another occasion the horses of th? Windsor coach bolted near Slough, and there was a smash-up, but that's about all. lt ls not part of their business, but occasionally my vans are used as am bulances. Traveling through the night, they may come upon a motor ist or other wayfarer who has met with an accident, and they pick him up and take hil" ftlong. Few Parcels IJOSL Lost parcela? I am proud to say that the percentage of parcels that go astray ls not worth mentioning. Thlfj applies to cases where I am to blame; for, naturally, 1 -cannot help such occurrences as tho Oceanic dis aster, when 0,000 parcels went to the fishes. Occasionally a bag may drop unnoticed off a van, but it is gene rally restored, and I reward the Under. My chief trouble ls the badi.' packed parcel, which comes loose. I keep a list of articles found loose, and among them last, month I noticed thero was a snake. On another occasion tho opening of a bag revealed a loose article In the shape of a swarm of bees. There was a good deal of excitement, about lt. Among other articles Intrusted AUGUST WAS A BAD MONTH. Crop Condition September 1st 10 Per Cent Below Average. Washington, Sept. 10.-August was unfavorable for crop develop ment in the United States, the de partment of agriculture announced to-day. The composite condition of all crops September 1 was 10.1 per cent below average conditions on Sep tember 1 of recent years. On Au gust 1 conditions were 6.2 per cent below the AugUBt 1 average. Compared with a year ago pros pects at this time are about 12.2 per cent poorer. Last year crop pros pects steadily Improved as the sea son advanced, the final out-turn be- i lng the largest on record. This year ( prospects to September 1 have tend- ; ed to decline with the advance of the season. j The condition o production, if harvested, of various crops on Sep tember 1 compared with their aver age condition (not normal) on Sep tember 1 of recent years follows: Clover seed, 100.7; alfalfa, 92.6; ' millet, 7G.5; grapes. 90; cranberries, 99; oranges, 91.7; lemons, 67.2; : sugar cane, 94.4; sugar beets, 97.9; ' sorghum, 83.1; sweet, potatoes, 94.4; cabbages, 90.8; onions, 92.5; hemp, i '80; hops, 103.5; peanuts. 101.1.

Hoard of directors of the State penitentiary, meeting yesterday to consider tho disposition of the seve ral hundred convicts now omeployed in the hosiery mill at the prison, re ceved application from eight county supervisors for convicts to work the public highways. The counties making request upon the board for prisoners were: Edge tleld, Greenwood, Lexington, Abbe- . ville, Anderson, Spartanburg, New- ' berry and Lee. .Several days ago the board, meet ing In Columbia, decided to advertise for bids for the use of from 200 to 300 convicts in the manufacture of ! leather goods and furniture.

Generosity and Kindheartednes? wer? Prominent Characteristics. Lowndesvllle, Sept. ll.-I. H. Mc Calla died Tuesday morning at his home near here, lt was not unex pected by his family and many friends. He suffered from paralysis for,several years, and while he could not talk or walk much, he was able until recently to ride out and look after bis extensive interests and meet his neighbors with his accus tomed geniality and good CIU-M-. Isaac UMcCalla was no ordinary man. He looked death lu the .'ace for weeks, months and years without flinching. His great soul was brave and patient, and with an indomitable courage he fought the battle of life .to the (finish. In his life and charac ter the virtues of generosity, kind heartedness and sympathy were al ways manifested, and especially to ward the poor. Few men possessed his executive ability in business man agement and the Influence which he exterted In the community, in thc county and State made him a conspic uous leader of men. He represented Abbeville in tho House, and also in the State Senate for several years. His ambition was'to go to Congress, but he was disappointed, although he never lost his patriotism and interest in the good of his country. A wife, one daughter and two sons survive him. 'His church, too. will sadly feel tho lack of his influence and of his cheerful liberality. Suinter Election Thrown Out. Columbia. Sept. ll.---After delib erating for several hours last night the State Board of Canvassers an nounced that a decision had been reached that there had been no legal election in Sumter county on the dis pensary. This means that the dispensar)' lost out. The principal ground for throw ing out the election was that the bal lots -were not of legal size. It was also announced that the decision of the Lexington county board was af firmed, which means the establish ment of the dispensary in that county. NATIONAL HIGHWAY MEASURE.

The Senate majority, while accept ing the tariff amendment which places a prohibitive tax on cotton futures, was at least prudent enough to provide that this unjust and dan gerous scheme should not become operative until September, 1914. That concession ls distinctly reassur ing, for lt indicates that the Senate has felt the sobering Influence of bus iness opinion and furthermore it gives time for a deliberate weighing of the many lils which the imposi tion of such a tax would entail. It ts unthinkable that right-minded, pa triotic men will Insist upon a meas ure which means hardship and dis aster to every field of America's cot ton Interests, particularly to the cot ton grower, when they duly realize Its effects; and this they cannot fall to do when they have given the sub ject sufficient thought. It ls much to be regretted that the Jemooratlc caucus of the Senate ever lent Its approval to the cotton tax. Lending Southern Senators, notably Senators Bacon and Smith, of Geor gia, Senator Overman, of North Car olina, Senator Smith, of South Caro lina, Senator Fletcher, of Folrida, and both Senators from Louisiana, offered earnest and logical protests against the so-called Clarke amend ment. They showed its grave men ace to tho legitimate cotton interests of the entire country and especially to the farmers of the South. Unfor tunately, however, their wise counsel did not prevail. Yet, the fact that the majority deferred the operation of the tax for a year is evidence that caution and common sense are at length asserting themselves. Emphatic opposition to tho amend ment has developed in tho House; and If the House Democrats will urge their convictions in the 'forthcoming committee conference over the tariff bills the amendment can be defeated. It is very Important that this ho done now rather than in the months to come. Fear of the proposed tax has already had a depressing effect on the price of cotton. There was a decline of nearly three dollars a hale when the action of tho Senate caucus Frl ay became known at the New York nd New Orleam exchanges. Thc later announcement that the tax, if finally ratified, would be suspended year proved stimulating, but lt ls evident that so long as there ls a se rious probability of this amendment going into effect, cotton interests generally and the farmer especially 111 suffer. The sooner lt ls killed, the better for the South and for the country at large. The tax on cotton sold for future delivery ts utter1 j irrelevant to the purpose of the tariff bill and, Indeed, ls sharply at variance with tho spirit f that great measure. Such a tax would invite and encourage tho very sort of evil which tariff reform seeks to prevent, lt would forco out of the market a large number of small buyers, for the merchant with limited resources could not afford to take the risk of the continually fluctuat ing prices to which cotton, more than any other commodity, ls subject, If he were deprived of the "hedge" pro tection by a heavy or prohibitive tax. The result would bo the concentra tion of the power of purchasing cot ton In the hands of a few large Inter ests, so that the tyrannies of monop oly, which the tariff bill ls designed to check, would be developed anew in their most damaging form. It should bo noted furthermore that the Clarke amendment, while professing to prevent gambling in futures, ls aimed solely at the cotton trade. It takes no account -whatso ever of hedging in corn and wheat and other commodities. Why this flagrant discrimination against the South's chief agricultural product and chief Item of commerce? Were the proposed amendment in any wise consistent, it would apply to all com modities In which contracts for fu ture delivery aro made. But it is palpably insincere; Its avowed pur pose of reform ls clearly a sham; lt has no excuso for existence. fmch a scheme cannot long with stand the public condemnation it has aroused. Sooner or later lt must be abandoned became of Its inherent folly and viciousness. The safestand rairest course the Democrats can pur sue is to abandon lt now. Let the Democrats of the House stand firmly against the proposed tax and those of the Senate will fall into line. This can bo accomplished without difficul ty or delay of tho tariff bill; and it will save the Southern interests from incalculable harm. Cures Old Sorts, Other Remedies Won't Curs.

This custom probably is not prevalent to any considerable extent in tho upland districts of South Carolina, but in Oklahoma and North Texas lt is a common practice. As far as investigations have gone, it has been shown that "the selling of cotton in the seed is a sort of game of chance, based on the law of average*, and should be discour aged." The ginner bases his price on seed cotton on tho average out-turn of lint and seed from dny to day. It will readily be seen that this method reduces all cotton to a (lead level or average and la manifestly unfair to the farmer who produces a longer staple or one who grows n variety with a higher ivercentage of lint.

BEARD" "Bull Moose" Goes After a Candidate for Governorship. (Greenville Piedmont.) In the last Issue of tho Anderson Intelligencer under the ownership and management of Col. Vietor B. Cheshire, there appeared a blaok face, double-leaded editorial, in which it wns stated that u communi cation had been, received from one R. L, Thack8ton, of Belton, bitterly attacking Senator John I.. McLaurin. The editorial stated that publication waa declined and that a few days later Mr. Thackston. appeared at the office to ascertain the reason. The editor of , he Intelligencer said he told him that he declined to print the article because it was not writ ten by Mr. Thackston himself," but that lt was written, he believed, by some lawyer, and asked Mr. Thack ston if Col. Geo. R. Rembert. of Co lumbia, had not written it. The In telligencer says that Mr. Thackston then confessed that Mr. Rembert had written lt ard gotten him to sign lt. The article was reprinted In the Pec-Dee Dally (Bennettsvllle), and Mr. Rembert Immediately replied to it. He Inclosed a copy of the let ter Thackston had written him ask ing him to write a communication at tacking McLaurin and send to him so that ho could sign and have printed In the Intelligencer. Mr. Thackston ?issnred Mr. Rombert that ho was the man that he wanted to seo Gov ernor. Mr. Rembert declared that McLaurin by proxy, through Leon M. Creen and Bull Moose Beard, had been attacking him all over tho State. Mr. Beard wrote the following re ply to the Pee-Dee Daily, giving some inside fade about the Progressive Party movement launched in this State last fall. Mr. Beard's Letter. Hon. George R. Rembert. Colum bia, S. C.-Respected Sir: You make an uncalled-for attack upon me In the public prints which I shall not al low to go unnoticed. You wrote a letter attacking Senator J. L. MoLau rln and sent it to ono of your hench men In Anderson, who signed it and gave lt to the paper there. The edi tor of the paper, Col. V. B. Cheshire, taxed the party with lt and he con fessed. You wero "caught with the goods," and to escape tho conse quences of your puerile conduct you divert attention to "Bull Moose" Beard. I had nothing whatever to do with tho matter. 1 am not a can didate. I have no connection of any kind with Senator McLaurin other than friendship, and I brand your statement as wilfully and maliciously false. You say I have been attack ing you for three months. This ls also untrue. 1 Bald In an Interview that you wero not "Gubernatorial timber," and 1 am sure that a care ful consideration of your Insane bom b?stica would convince any intelli gent observer that 1 understand this proposition. I have beard many (not half as well informed as 1) say that they did not want a "cheap imita tion." Your reference to "Bull Mooso" comes with ill grace. You aro as much "Bull Moose" as I. You know as well as I do that I was only a small pawn in tho game last year. Every indication pointed to tho fact that certain Influences dominating the Jones crowd intended to count Blease out, and you, as well as I, Intended to go to tho general elec tion with a full independent ticket If they did. Proof of this is contain ed in a letter from me to the News and Courier during tha' period, put ting out such a ticket, which, by the way, you did not protest against at the time. All of us, you as well as I, took advantage of the Progressive Party to provide tho machinery for such a contest at tho general election. Am 1 to bo the scapegoat? This threat is what kept John Gary Evans and others from forcing the Issue. It ls also what frightened Tillman into line. I did my duty as I saw it, and 1 am willing to take my medi cine like a man. But I refuse to lier mit one of the men who was as much in favor of it ns I to have the monu mental cheek to twit me with "Bull Moose." You are tarred with the same stick'. I stated in a letter* once thal I would support you as the Bleaseite candidate if you proved to be the strongest; otherwise I would sup port John L. McLaurin. I can't help it because you cannot measure up to a standard that will lift you out of obscurity. I havo no malice towards you, and after our conversation on the train going up to Hendersonville, cannot understand why you persist in attascklng me-unless, indeed, it be a last desiverato effort to draw to yourself tho notice of tho press, which seems to either have forgot ten you or never to have had the pleasure of your acquaintance. This is not the first timo I have had min nows to nlbblo at my hook, or tom tits challenge my fire, but I have, and ever will, refuse to waste, my halt and ammunition on such trifling trophies. Regretting my inability to afford Mr. Rembert, through a useless and unprofitable controversy, that public ity he seems so much In need of, I am, Very respectfully, W. P. Beard. Abbovllle, S.
