Christmas Orders at Postoffice.
It may be a hit early in the
season but after all Christmas is
near and before many of us are
aware of it the great season will
be here. That is the way the
postmaster general looked at it.
for he has been issuing instructions
to local offices with
reference to the Christmas mail.
He anticipates that the volunio
of parcel post during the Christmas
season will establish a new
?
record.
In order to prevent congestion
in post office lobbies, postmasters
are asked to urge the public to
obtain in advance the tags which
must he filled out and attached to
insured. C. O. D. and registered
parcels. Attention also is called
to the necessity of having parcels
properly wrapped and addressed.
The address of the
sender must appear on the face
of the package, preferably in the
upper left hand corner. All
parcels must be presented at the
postofiice window or given to
rural carriers and not placed in
ordinary mail drops.
Of course, the postofhee will
he helped, just as everybody else
will he helped, by early shop
ping. And then, the people will
be helping: themselves by ship
ping with care, that is, packing;
with care and addressing- with
care. It is a wise policy to ship
your gifts early. Put a little
legend on your package: "Not to ;
be opened until Christmas day." '
In ninety-nine out of one hundred
cases the injunction will be
heeded.
The postmaster general calls |
special attention to the insurance
feature connected with the paicel
post system and advises that
the public make liberal use of the
same. The feature is one of the
very best that has yet been developed
in connection with ihe
parcel post and many people have
not as yet come to the point
where they have familiarized
themselves with it and make the
use of it which should be made.
It is inevitable that the lJnit<<
States should, in a commercial
sense, he the beneiiciarv of lie
war. This is an accident which
we as the friends of mankind
deplore, but which as a nation ;
of producers we are compelled ;
to regard as an extraordinary
opportunity for the expansion
of our productive industries.
Eventually America will be the
overwhelming victor, because1
with her vast resources and unilll

required to assume the foremost
rank as the provider. This is a
decree #of the fates; our hands
are clean; we shall profit Legitimately,
fairly and abundantly
not because of our designs but
because of our position and resources.
The European war concerns
every American citizen. Nobody
knows which side will win. We
know that we are not responsible
for the terrihle struggle.
Our national feeling is one of
profound sympathy with the
sufferers, regardless of their
nationality. because they are
% *
' w,
human and thousands of us are
related to them by blood. Indeed.
in a large sense, they are
- all our brothers. In recognition
of that fact it is our privilege
and opportunity to do whatever
we properly may toward restoring
the essentials of ordered
life after the conflict shall have
ceased.
The farmer actually pays a
premium for bad roads. He
pays it in time expended in getting
to market; in value of
drafting animals and the food
they eat and in the extra hands
for their care and handling; in
increased number of vfibiVl^c
and wear and tear on them, and
! in the decreased product of land
that has less attention and care.
If the country had a system of
smooth and hard highways it.
would blossom like a rose and
prosperity would follow in the
wake.
The heavy purchases of horses
j made throughout the West by
P>s it.ish and French agents for
! war use, is presenting a serious
[problem to the quartermaster's
department of the United States
army, and it is feared that it
will soon be impossible to obtain
enough horses for its own purposes
during the present year.
Already the young horses brought
in to remount stations cost $17
per head more than last year,
and these horses are too young
to be put in service at once. The
regular cavalry horses are worth
$20 a head more now than a year
1 ago.
Among the recent arrivals in
New York are 1,700 pieces of
| tourist baggage, the latest batch
from the war zone of Europe.
This makes in round numbers a
total of 25,000 trunks and other
pieces recovered abroad and
brought to this country, constituting
a notable tribute to
American efficiency in baggage
rustling.
The many varieties of reports
coming from the front indicate
that the Ananias club is doing a
irnd otlice business in Europe
just now.

-York News.
Aiken Minister a Suicide.
With a bottle of poison beside
hin\ the Rev. Jesse Rlunkett.
who lived between Windsor and
White Pond, in Aiken county,
was found last Tuesday afternoon
in a dying condition in his field.
He died a short time afterwards
without regaining consciousness.
A note found on his person,
i written with pencil, stated that
three negroes with whom the
minister had had trouble forced
him to drink the poison, but
every physical fact pointed to
suicide. The three negroes were
at work a short distance from
where Mr. Plunkett was found,
and there were only his own
trecks in the sand leading to the
; stump against which he rested.
He had no pencil in his poeket,
! and it was evident that the note
had been written before the
(K)i*on was taken.
Seven and one-half cents was
the mice offered for cotton on
1 the local lyarket this morning.
