"Now that the rural free delivery I

oountry?In faot it will be but a short
time when the merry rural free delivery

the department Is in constant receipt
of letters to what rural carriers may
oarry on their routes hesidesthemselves
and their mall," sa d a postoffioe department
official recently.
"In the hrst place, they cant oarry
any liquid that stimulates either on
the ln*!de or outside of their persohs;
intoxication means instant dismissal,
and they are dismissed when they
are detected drinking even off their
routes. Nor are they permitted to
carry spirituous liquors for the acc

in these oases, ard no exceptions
are made with the rule.
"Rural oa-rlers must oarry the
mall and nothing else, even though
business houses seek oftimes to make
errand boys of them. Carriers must
not either In peron or through others,
directly or indlreotly. solicit money,
gifts or presents, nor Issue for profit
souvenelrs or postal handbooks, nor
oo-operate with or assist the publishers
of the same to seoure
the patronage of the public. They
are also barred from compiling or
assisting in the oomplllng of directories
for publlo use. Business firms
with large mall lists have caused us
a great deal of trouble in attempt
ing to engage the carriers as their
agents, so we have strictly prohibited
them from furnishing the names and
addresses of patrons on their routes
for pay or favor to any t, business
establishment, or to any Individual
except to the department officials
who are entitled to them under the
regulations.
rnu - J a. a- t *
j. uu uuparbmenii nas received lottern
from patrons complaining because
the oaariors refused to oarry their
milk cam. This Is funny, but It Is
true, and it shows what some people
in the oountry think the rural delivery
servloe was established for. Carriers
are not permitted to oarry passengers,
nor to permit any person
other than authorized postal officials,
to ride with them or to have aooess to
the mallB. They must not engage in
any business during their presorlbed
hours of servloe or to oonduct any
business after hours which offers terntallon
to sollelt patrourge on their
routes, or whloh by reason of their
positions in the government service
gives them special advantages over
competitors.
We rigidly bar them from acting
as book canvassers, lnsuranoe solicitors
sewing maohlne agents or aoting as
agent of any kind or occupation. We
allow carriers to carry merchandise
for hire upon the request of patrons
residing npon their respective routes
whenever it will not lntfore with the
proper dlsohargo of their official duties
,under such regulations the department
may preeoribo. Oountry
storekeepers try to use the carriers
vehicles as delivery wagons, but the
government is not in that sort of
business. We allow the carriers to
receive no compensation from the seller
of the merchandise and where
the merohandi8e is carried on the
request of the patrous for hire for
-the carrying, oarrying muat be paid
by the paiicob.
"We gel thousands of letters from

Brutally Murdorml.
At Wilmington, N. 0., Bettie Johnson,
a negro woman about 25 years of
age, was brutally murdered Saturday
night by Frank James, a looting South
Carolina negro of bad police record.
Saturday the woman was assaulted by
James and early Saturday night as
she was returning home from a magistrate's
ctllce, where she had sworn
out a warrant against the man, he
again attacked her. With a razor he
out her throat and savagely gashed
her body. Death resulted in a few moments
from hemorrhage. James is at
large. The fiefld when caught should
be made short worlr of.

BIRD TRAOXDY.
rtie PMienger Pigeon, Onoe Bo Plentiful,
Now Extlnot,
The greatest of all tragedies In the
leathered kingdom was tne sudden
jxtinctlon, the magtoal disappearance,
jf the onoe countlc si hosts of passenger
pigeons. The question as to what
beoame of them and why they went
has beoome one of the most puzzling
problems of ornithology. Those old
enough to remember these beautiful
birds hare never oeased to regret their
unaooountable extermination. One
day as numerous as the sands of the
seashore and flying in myriads that
darkened the sky for hours at a time,
next day thev have disappeared as
oompletely as if never in existence so
completely that a large reward c ffored
for a pair still remains unclaimed.
A celebrated American ornithologist
estimated that a fleck he saw early In
the laBt century numbered largely over
two thousand two hundred and thirty
millions, and they would consume seventeen
million four hundred and twenty-four
thousand bushels of mast every
day! These are tremendous figures
but many of our older rea aers, r memboring
flocks seen In their boyhood,
will readily believe them to be true.
As late as the sixties it was no uncommon
thing to fee In Kentucky, Indiana
and Michigan, flocks that darkened
the sky in every direction as far
as the eye oould reach and they would
be passing for hours at a time.
It has been over thirty-three years
since any considerable number of
these birds were seen south of the
great lakes though an extensive nesting
was reported from the regiu of
PetOHkev as late as 1881. Though
hundreds of men were engaged in netting
them and oaptured fully 10,000,000,
It was estimated that not one
bird in a thousand was taken. An eyewitness
declares that this nesting covered
an area twenty-eight miles long
and fully four miles wide while evory
tree of any size oyer this extensive
space had more or iess nests and many
were full of them.
This, however, seems to have been
the last of the passenger pigeon In
numbers. Soon thereafter ho disappeared
as suddenly as the Virginia
sora after a frost as oompletely as the
great auk of the southern boss. What
beoame of them still remains and
doubtless always will remain one of
the unsolved mysteries of solenoe. It
was at first thought that they attempted
to oross the ooean, but unequal
to the long lllght fell and were
swallowed by the waves. A more probable
oonoluilon is that In the destruction
of the forests, whioh deprived
them of their natural food, aided by
the relentless persecution of main In
ev'erv locality, we mav find thn real
explanation of this delorable tragedy
in the kingdom of the birds.
Bomb In St. l'otura.
At Rome, Italy on last Sunday
morning a bomb was exploded in St.
Patera, whioh 1b the largest ohuroh
building in the world. The edifice
was crowded and an indescribable
aoeno of oonfusion followed. There
wero no fatalities. As soon as the
eohoes of the tremendous roar had
ceased, a canon sought by reaRsurlng
words, to quiet the poople, but in
vain. They tied in all directions and
a number of women fainted. Women
and children screamed and men tried
to protect their families in the crush.
The ohuroh is so large, however, that
there was ample room for the crowd
to scatter and no one was irjurod.
No traoe of the perpetrator of the
deed has been found.
No Obago Wanted
A dispatch from Richmond, Va.,
says by resolution the Y.rglnia Baptist
Oonvtntlon Wednesday broke off
all relations with the American Society
and refused to use their publications.
The trouble gievv out of
printing by the house of bibles for
Asiatics, In which the Greek word
"baptiso" was translated "dlpptd."
The American Society oontend their
transalatlon is oorreot and refused to
change it in Baptist bibles.
Negro Bank Closed.
The Worklngmen's Savings and
Loan company, a negro bank In
Greenville was closed last week by
State Bank Examiner Hollemau.
The books of the bank are in a very
bad condition and is probable that
there will have to be a complete reorganization
before the Institution can
resume operations. It Is not thought
that there has been anything criminal
in oonneotion with the bank It being
merely mismanaged. The bank has
mnde sovoral bad investments and
has been running at a loss for some
time. The bank since its Institution
na? paid a dividend of 10 per cent
annually and It Is thought that thin
was paid out of the capital Instead of
the earnings.
A WIho Woman.
There is a wise woman In Poughksepsle,
N. Y. She Is Mrs. James
Crawford, who for years has supported
her husband, who drank up all the
money he could get while she did seven
washings a week. Little by little
she kept putting away savings f.\ t>
her meagre earnings until she had
$100. She caused her husband to be
summoned before Justloe Carpenter
and offered him the $100 If be would
sign an agreement to leave the village
and never come near her again. Crawford
signed the paper and took the
money.

of Saluda. C
The w rk train was extra No. 476, o
working with limits between Oolurr- I
bla and Bl>thewood, a distance of 19 a
miles. The work train had orders to t
protect against No. 828, extra freight, c
northbound. It is stated by the a
railroad oftlotals that these ordors w
wore disregarded and that the work v
train was on the main track when it i<
jhould have bet n on the side track,
and as usual tne crow of the train n
suffered for tho ovornight ' w
Extra freight, No. 828, north- si
bound, ran into the work train at h
8 05 o'clock. The orow of the freight 1
train saw the work train In time to b
jump and none of them was hurt, o
The freight was In charge of Oonduc- li

The collision ooourred at the 09- 0
mile post, Beven miles north of Co- a
lumbla. The engine of No. 476 was t
badly damaged, and the oabooso also, t
A oar of merchandise and seed was a
torn up, but the rest of the train was
not8erlously Injured. o
Passenger train No. 30, due to f
leave there at 6.10, was running two d
hours and 20 minutes late and reach- o
od the scene of tho collision soon after a

No. 27, duo here at 10 a. m., were v
transferred to No. 20 aud No. 30 oamo t
baok to this oity, being sent to Char- a

No. 30 or extra freight No. 828 had ii
any orders in regard to tho work Q
train, as it was tho duty of the work
train to keep out of the way of the d
freight and passonger trains. d
The orow of the freight train saved n
themselves by Jumping, as they saw u
the work train 100 yards off and the t

I'roflt Not Cost.
Mr. Sterrett Tate, replying to a
uotatlon from the New York Herald
o the effect that as ootton can be
rown at five oenfc per pound, it Is
inreasonable for the produoer to exieot
more than ten cents for It. Mr.
?ate successfully ridicules the propsltion
that ootton can be grown at
iye oen&s a pound and Bhows that
en oonts 1b too low for the producer
o make the reasonable margin of proit
to whloh he is entitled.
It is a very simple matter for a
lewBpaper a thousand miles away
rom the fields to tell the ootton proluoer
what it coBts por pound to raise
otton, but when reduced to its last
nalysis advloo from the neighborLood
of Wall street is of no more
alue to the average cotton farmer
han would be the opinion of the
vorago ootton producer to a New
fork speculator who might be seekag
evidence as to the latest movecents
of the Parlsion bourse.
Every item entering into the prouotlon
of cotton has vastly Increased
uring the past few years. It costs
core to buy land, fertilizers, stock,
teuslls, to pay for labor and to meet
he expenses of living than ever beare.
The oost entering into the prouotion
of a bale of ootton today is
lraost double the cost of the making
f a bale ten years ago. While it is
rue that ten cents will perhaps meet
otual expenses and give the producer
nd his family a living, it is not just
ar the world to expeot the cotton
rower to be satisfied with only aoual
living expenses.
The cotton grower 1b just as muoh
ntitled to a reasonable return on his
ffort, his energy, his time and his
avestment as the Wall street broker
i entitled to his profit. What would
Vail streot think If the cotton proucer
should take the position that
&s brokers and business men should
e entitled to no more than aotual
ving expenses out of their business
-and yet that Is the position assumd
towards the cotton growers by a
reat many people the world over.
Vhat Wall street doesn't know about
he coat of making cotton would fill
great many books.
In the meantime The constitution
gain urges the cotton produoers of
he south to let Wall street alone,
nd to make its arrangements lndeendont
of advice received from that
treotion. The secretary of the
Llasissippl division of the Southern
otton Association was right when
e warned the produoeis of the south
gainst the bear movement emanatjg
from Wall street, and It is notlceble
that it comes this year from

OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI
AND WESTERN TENNESSEE
On Last Saturday Might Leaving
Daath and Peetruotion
in Its Wake.
Telegraphic and teleohonio communications
reoeived Sunday night from
points In Mississippi, Arkansas and
Tennessee for a distance of several
miles, report that territory to bare
suffered Saturday night ani early
Sunday from one of the most deatructire
rain and wind storms experienced
In years.
Only meagre details are as yet obtalnable,
but five lives are known to
have been lost ana great damage done
to property and crops. Railroad tratlo
Is completely demoralized by numerous
washouts, and many trains have
necessarily been annulled. From the
reports so far reoeived the great damage
occurred In the oentral and Delta
regions of Mississippi.
At Winona, Miss., the Catholic,
Christian and negro Methodist churches
and the Hesty brlok yard were demolished,
and numerous buildings unroofed
and badly damaged. Among
the largest buildings damaged at this
place are the postoflice, Opera Houso,
the oil mill, the compress, ware house
of the Jackson Mercantile finmnrnv
and the residence of E. J. Dunkston.
Besides these, about twenty-Ave
smaller buildings were almost completely
destroyed.
Of those buildings not totally destroyed,
the oompress was probably
the most badly damaged. The roof
of thiB building was torn off by the
wind, which at times reached almost
tornado-like vclooity, falling on the
homo of E. J. Dunkston, 260 yards
away. The wind storm was preceded
and followed by heavy rains causing
serious washouts along the route of
the Illinois Oential Hill road, and
badly damaging crops.
At Maihison, Miss., serious damage
is reported to have occured and a
woman killed by a falling building.
At Tehula; a falling tree striking a
small frame building, caused it to bo
set afire a woman and child were burned
todoath. At Nonconnah Creek a railroad
trestle fell uudv the weight of a
switch engine plunging Into the swollen
stream carrying with It Engineer
Ch V. Peterson and Fireman A. R.
Rltohie, who wore drowned.
West Point, OolumbuB and Mabon,
Miss., are reported to have suffered
serious damage, but as these points
are completely out off from communication
It is impossible at this time
to ascertain the extent.

great damage has boon done to property

A railroad employee reports the
people in a state of pauio, the flood
boing the worst in the town's history.
Quantities of loose cotton has been

The commissioners of eleotloo for
Orangeburg County met 00 Tuesday
and organized themselves Into boards
of canvassers for the purpcae of canvassing
and tabulating the vote polled
at the general election on the Oth
Instant. O&e two boards of this county
are oomposed as follows:
Federal?J. A. Berry, chairman; J.
C. Redmond, J. B. Stroman; secretary,
M. F. Inablnet
State?John S. Bowman, Jr., Chairman;
D. B. Berry and Thos. J. Hart,
secretary, S. J. Holllday.
There were fewer votes polled in
Orangeburg County this year than
two years ago. Governor Ansel only
reoelved 1,888 votes, and the bAlanoe
of the tickets in the State and county
boxes reoelved about the same.
For Congress, Mr. A. Frank Lever
reoelved 1,979 votes In the county,
while the negro, Alex. D. Dantzler,
only received 83.
It is presumed that Dantzler intends
going before Congress with
another /contest. Jaoob Moorer, a colored
lawyer of this pkoe, who has been
conducting these biennial contests
heretofore, appeared before the board
of Federal canvassers and served the
following notice upon them:
