Boston, Mass.. March 13.?A ribw type of government war vessel for torpedo work, which may be used in coast defence or carried on board the i larger warships for use abroad, has been given its unofficial trials in Bv?-I ton harbor and exceeded the Government requirements by two knots, making a speed of eighteen knots. I The Government trials are expected to take place late this week. The vessel is known as the "subsurface torpedo boat," and, from the nature of its construction, is expected to be immune from the small gunfire of battleships and cruisers. It has an unstnkable surface hull divided into comportments. From this is suspended below the surface, another hull containing all the machinery and torpedo armament The entire vessel weighs about six tons, and is forty-six feet long. It is an invention of Clarence L. Burger, a Princeton graduate. TWiuun May Helm to Ttontoa. Washington, March 12.?Senator B. B. Tillman, in the words of his pnjmcnn. ur. ricKTora, "has nad a most nnusual rally." and he will be taken to hisr home in Trenton next Wednesday evening. Daring the past two or three days the convalescence of the senator has been so progressive that he has beoome restless and 'it was all Ms family eoald do to refrain from taking him home at once. He wanted to go last night, declaring that he wanted to see his flowers while they were in bloom. He can walk abont the room, and he talked freely. Dr. Pickford says that when he gets to Trenton he will be able to walk abont the yard among his flowers. 4 . .The senator has been a constant source of surprise to all abont Washington, where, a little over three weeks ago, there was general expectation that he would die. When it became apparent that he wonld live, it was generally believed that he wonld lose the nse of either his right leg or of his speech, or both. When now the senator walks and talks and shows steady progress toward complete recovery, the marvelous vitality of the man is a subject of universal comment Dr. Babeock said when he was here, "Tillman la now reaping the benefit of his long jean of regular end temperate physical life." Tillman Leaves for Trenton. Washington, March 15.?Senator Tillman is expecting to leave for Trenton tomorrow afternoon. His family are still trying to prevail on him to remain here until some time in April, when he will be stronger and the chances for bad weather less. The senator went driving 8anday afternoon, but he did not enjoy it particularly, his family says. There is danger, they think, of his overdoing himself in his determination to get well right away. He continues to receive numerous attentions from friends here and how he re ceives all friends who call. Prom the time he got sick, his apartments hare been the scene of beautiful floral decorrtions sent by friends here and elsewhere. A few days ago he received a large bunch of the moat exquisite roses sent by the faculty and girls of Winthrop college. These he seemed to appreciate particularly. Senator Aldrich sent him a large bouquet to-day. New Bsflflfi for State College. Columbia.

Vara will be manager of the concern." Shall We Have a Parcels Post? This question is being laid before many of the voters of this country by some printed matter on this subject sent out by Funk & Wagnalls Co.. publishers. New York. The occasion of this is President Taft's recommendation to congress to raise the price of postage on periodicals. magazines, etc.. to meet the present deficiency in the postoflkce department of $17,000,000.00. The publishers are up in arms, naturally; hence this counter agitation suggesting this instead as the true remedy, and giving out some valuable information in regard to it well worthy of consideration by the messes of the people, and which bids fair to be an important political issue This deficit in the postofflce department is brought about largely through the rural free delivery system. These rural mail carriers are Tint MrmltfMt tn n?/>lram. mn a mail wagon carries about twentylive pounds of mail. If they were allowed to carry packages with a reasonable rate of postage per pound, not only an additional advantage to the farmer in the way of a convenience would be afforded, but the rural mail routes would be easily self-sustaining, without making the reading public pay for it by an additional tax on periodicals. It would also be a general advantage in affording a cheaper rate of transportation on small packages than we now have through express companies who are the bitter opponents of the parcels post system. Former Postmaster General John Wannamaker said the express eomDanies defeated the nareela nmt nn. der hit administration. Why should they not stoutly oppose it, when one of these companies recently divided $24,000,000 in profits. The present postal law, in the interest of the express companies, forbid carrying packages over four pounds in weight, leaving all heavier packages to the express companies and their fixed rates. Other countries have parcels posts that pay the government and carry packages much cheaper than the express companies, as they carry packages of as high as 22 pounds weight It is also shown that other countries are charging a much lower rate than our postoffice department and are making some profit while our department is coming out behind. The reasons for this is shown in the extravagant prices paid railroad companies for mail transportation. The summary from thv New York The summary from the New York ing reading. O. J. FRIER. 1.?The post cfflce pays $1,000 a year rental (or each mail car in addition to transportation charges. The rental last year was $5,000,000. A mail car costs only $5,000 to build. No express company, merchant, or corporation pays any rental for cars carrying their goods. 2.?The post office paid railroads $50,000,000 last year for mail transportation. Within the last twentyfive years general freight rates have been reduced on the average fifty per cent. But the United States Is still paying rates ninety per cent, of what 5 FOR Tf HINO jcker Pants from Hens'am edfort id Summer Suits ,5th of March. The fame ) us a look before noted f we have a swell for $3.( BRARH, they were in 1885. It is also payii from 100 to 300 per cent, more thi any express company or other cc po ration. 3.?The post office charges oi cent a pound for second class mi matter, and loses $63,000,000 year. But in Canada, whose tot population is only equal to that Greater New York, they charge on quarter cl a cent for such mattt and with longer hauls, make $1,00< 000 a year profit out of it 4.?The railroads fix their mi carrying rates hy dividing the cou try into four districts and weight] once every four years for a period ninety days all the mail carrl through each section. Postal refoi organisations assert that this loo method uniformly results In an ovc charge of about 5 per cent or $! 500,000 through overweighing. 5.?Packages weighing more thi four pounds, by a regulation inspir by the express companies, are u mailable in the United States. / such packages must be sent by e press. To send an 11-pound pac age from New York to San Francis costs $1.65. But packages up eic*cn pouQu may oe mailed in eo land and be distributed by Exp re all over the United 8tatea at a ci form rate of twenty-five cents. 6.?The government has absolu power to monopolise carrying of i mailable matter. It baa made cm rying of letters a criminal oflfem bnt has never exercised its right ov 4-pound and less packages fonrt class mail. Profit to the govern me upon the latter is forty per cent $2,000,000 surplus was shoi through it last year. 3ut the c press companies have been allow* to take 80 per cent of this bnsinc 1 from the post office, robbing it $8,000,000 yearly. 7.?The average amount of mont ly revenue derived from each of t 40,000 rural free delivery routes $14.92, the cost of maintenance each route is $72.10. The two-hot rural delivery wagons carry on i average only twenty-five pounds day. The department showed la year a deficit of $28,000,000. B one of the great express compani carried a ton and a half every <1 on each of its wagons, and, chargii no more for its service, paid $3< dividends on each of its shares, parcels post would add $50,000 year to post office revenues. 8.?The post office pays freisht < returning postal equipment, emp mail-bags, etc. But empty mllk-ca pay no return freight, nor do certs other receptacles by "private i rangement" with the roads, whJ rates on returning crates and bam of "non-exempt" corporations ai private merchants are from twent five to fifty per cent lower than < postal equipment 9.?It costs the post office $5,00< 000 a year to handle the mail of tJ other departments of the gover ment By its system of bookkeepii this is charged up against the c penditares of the postal departmei when it should be divided pro ra among the other departments thei selves. 10.?The postmaster general b the power to stop and open any man mail, and there is no appeal from h decision.

No wonder scores of Bamberg cltlsens grow enthusisstic. It is enough to make anyone happy to find relief . after years of suffering. Public a" statements like the following are but of truthful representations of the daily ut work done in Bamberg by Doan'a u Kidney Pills. J. C. Utsey, Main St., Bamberg, 8. C., says: "I am very willing that my name should be used in recommendation *? of Doan's Kidney Pills. I suffered ?r from kidney trouble for several 'i years. There were pains in the small of my back and at times I was bothered by irregular passages of the ? kidney secretions. The use of sev.* eral remedies brought me but little 1(1 relief and when I saw Doan's Kidney of Pills advertised, I went to the PeoV. pies Drug Co. and procured a supy ply. I have not taken them long . enough to justify a cure, but con-* isidering the results already received, | % 11 feel that It will be but a short time j ? before this result is brought about. w i hope that other persons who are afflicted in a similar manner will give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial."
