Delayed Papers. We are having a lot ?>f trouble getting papers to subscribers at a number of pos:ottice*. We are i'lVestigatmg the matter as thorough-1 1 v as possible and will if in( *?- ' i 11 sarv report the matter to tne, / postottice department. The pack-| / . . h ages ot papers are put in the; office here on Friday of each week -and there is no good rea-on why they should reach their respective 1 destinations later than Saturday ' where there is a daily mail. We think we have located the 'trouble at Rome, with the assisi tance of the courteous postmaster, Mr W C Rollins, and hope there -will be no further cause of com plaint at that office, from where there have come many "kicks," ( and justly so, on account of the , delay. The cause has been that j the papers were for some time * sent the wrong route. Hereafter 1 they will be sent via Rhems, as; ^ !Mr Rollins suggests. We hold our forms open until Thursday morning to get all the 1 news possible. Of course we might * print earlier, but we take it 'for 1 granted that our subscribers want ( the uews and as a rule not much j happens until the middle or latter ( part of the week. I * s 'Everything possible is being . A -Uone to get the paper printed and g jn the hands of our subscribers 1 promptly, but we cannot regulate i the United States mail system, c r aor can we get at the trouble at a particular office without pa- , ' tient investigation. i Id ihis connection we may* say * that while most of the postmas- i ters appear willing to co-operate ' s with us in this matter, there are .. - t ?xie or two who seem ramer irritated when we write them asking for information. We beg to remind the latter that the gov- 1 *\ ernmeut allows us this privilege j of investigation and that it is a i i part of their duty to give atten- ' tion to all letters pertaining to ( official business. If any one < doubts this is is uot hard to make a test case. < i \ i Shall the people rule!" Well, ! hardly, if it depends on Bryan i -being president. Now watch the newspapers begin to explain how it happened. We doubted all the time the wisdom of putting up Mr Bryan to be shot to pieces a third time, but when he became the choice of the party we gave him our allegiance willingly aud cheerfully, forwarding our dollar aud about seventy-three more from < other contributors to give Wil- j Jiamsburg county some sort of ] showing among the other coun- ] ties of the State. j -Splcudid in defeat, as he would j bave been magnanimous in victory, ^ William Jennings Bryan as a | private citizen will continue to ^ ?deld a powerful force in shap- 1 , , \ v_ I ng the destiny of our country.; rVith scarcely an exception even lis political opponents believe in he unsullied purity, the intellec:ual [Kiwer uud the lofty ideals if Bryan the man, who is tolay the uncrowned king of millions of the plain people of the Cnited States and the foremost irator of the world. William Jennings liryan, although defeated for the third time for the presidency, did his part nobly and well. The campaign he made this year will be a memorable one in the annals i?f American politics. But with the cards stacked against hiui the result was a foregone conclusion. The "malefactors of great wealth" declared for Taft, and the dollars and not the people, 'rule In polities, wherever there is any kind of contest. When Carnegie, the steel king; Harriman, the railroad king, and Rockefeller, the oil king, gave Taft their united [support the voice of the people be came hushed and still. And thus it will be, we fear, until a political cataclysm sweeps from power these arrogant overlords of the financial world. Joshaa Siopkios. "Joshua Simpkins," a story ol farm life, will be seen at Thomas Opera House, Nov 14. It is said to abound in novel features, wonderful mecbauical effects, excellent jingiug and daucing, and plenty 01 refined, wholesome fan. The_ e t)and carried by the companv* ill make a burlesque parade at noon! The "Joshua Simpkius" company with a fine brass band and splendid jrchestra, will be seen at Thomas Dpera House, .Saturday night, November Uth. The play is made )f fun and realism combining the leasing features ot realistic meloIrama and the ever popular rural )lay. The character sketches are ;aid to be very clever, while there s an abundance of good music, iinging and dancing in it. Those ovable old country characters are ntroduced and their sayings and loings create much amusement. Hie company comes to us recomnended as a good one throughout. L'he saw-mill scene in the third act s said to be wouderfullv realistic, i genuine circular saw being seen n motion, with Uncle Josh's sou ashed to a log by the villains and itarted toward the - glittering eeth of the rapidly revolving saw.
