THURSDAY. NOV. 5 , 1908.
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
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.

"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.

I and by 9 o'clock the house was tilled a
1
with a gay crowd, both old and

time?and they had it, too. i
Supper was in due time anuounc- *
ed and oh, what a supper! The j
long table extended across the din- ?

its load of tempting viands, which 1
consisted of barbecue, ham, turkey, <
