says that in the Senate c&mmit- \
mittee's report on the postoffice
appropriation bill, it is estimated
t hat an increase of about $3,000,- i
000 has been made over the
amount appropriated by the house
bill, which was a little more than
1 $200,000,000. The largest item j
! is involved in an item advancing'
j the pay of rural carriers to $900.
The present pay of such carriers !
is $720 and the house bill increas- I
ed this to $S40. Now the Senate ; .
raises it to $900. This is good 1
j news for these hard worked pub- ^
lie servants, and we hope they
will get the $900 per year.

er general, issued several months l!
ago, and which went into effect March

front, the right half being re- 'j
served instead of the whole face j :
of the card "for the address on- jj
ly," says the Wilmington Star. This
may he done on any postal !l
card, whether it be one of the J
old style, which bears the notice !
"This side for the address only," { j
or not; and without the prepay- :
ment of anything more than the I I
rate applicable to postcards, j
which is one cent within the j \
United States or its island passes- j
sions, and Panama, Cuba, Cana- ! '
da and Mexico and for other 1
countries two cents. ! ;

For the Prompt Payment of Claims. j
The public generally and espc-'
cially our business men will be 1
interested to know that for the i
purpose of insuring promptness
and justice to its patrons in re-;
spect to handling freights at local
stations and the handling of
loss, damage and overcharge (
freight claims occurring^ on
: freights received or shipped by i
; its patrons, the Southern Railway

ously the respective territories
assigned to them, visiting at
each station not only the company's
agents but the company's
patrons thereat, and make prompt
settlement of all fair and honest j
loss, damage and overcharge j
freight claims against the company.
We Could, !f We Would.
We were a bit surprised a short
while back to have one of our
business men accost us like this:
"Why don't you mention our bus- ;
iness in your paper. It wouldn't ;
hurt you, and would help to till
up, you know." Yes, we might |
do this. We haven't the least
idea on earth that it would hurt;
us, and it would, as he suggest- i
ed, help to fill up. We might do
all this, but at the same time, j
thank God, we do not have to do ,
it unless we feel like it, and we
have not yet felt that way. It,
would not hurt him, either, to
come around and order space for
a column or a half column advertisement
and hand us the
muuey lor it. cut dv doing" this
he would become a deserter to
that grand army of dead-heads |
who expect the newspapers to
continually note the improvements
they make, by giving them
free puffs, and for which they j
never pay a cent. It is high
time for all classes to learn that
a newspaper is a business enterprise,
the same as a dry goods
store or a grocery, run for a living
for its owner.
