Postal Requirements.
Sp"cial agents ??f the postoffice
department are traveling around
the country, dropping in newspaper
offices when least expected
St
to examine subscription lists to
ascertain if the regulation requiring
the payment of subscriptions
is beingolnerved.
It is dangerous business for a
newspaper publisher to send papers
to subscribers who are more
than twelve months in arrears.
T# Ik- deprived of the second elass
mailing privilege, which is the
permity for non-compliance with the
ruling, puts a newspaper out of
business, for the expense of put-ting
h one cent stamp on every
mailed amounts to so much
more than the entire subscription
business, to say nothing of the
increased amount of labor for affixing
the stanfpsAmeriran Pre**.
What a pity politics doesn't take
ps long a recess as Halley's cornet!
T'i achieve success in his vocation
a politician must be a good
mixer. So must a bar-keeper.
Senator K 1) Smith advises farmers
to hold their cotton for 20
cents, claiming to have received
advices from all over the cotton
l>elt indicating a short crop.
It is just as al>surd to say that
certain newspapers defeated Feathstone
as to argue that the N'ewlrerrv
HereM and News and a few other
county papers rooting for Blease
elected hini Governor.
Senator Tillman rises to remark
that in Blease's election the newspapers
of the State have been discredited!
by the people. It would
lie interesting to know if this distinguished
authority also opines
that the clergy of the State, who
opposed Mr Blease a I >out, as solidly
as did the press, have lieen
"discredited" by the people of
South Carolina.
The Governor for one form of
local option; the Lieutenant Governor
for State-wide prohibition; the
Attorney General for another form
of local option; the State Senate
for local option and the House
of Representatives for State-wide
prohibition. Surely such a heterogeneous
crew never had control
of Ship of State. It is more than ,
ean reasonably he exi>ected to;
evolve order out of ehaos or g<>< <1
government from internecine strife,
yet we hope for the l?e<t.

Col Jacob T Barron, whose'
death is announecd elsewhere in j
this issue, visited Kingstrec on several
invasions, and his friends here
were deeply pained to hear of his
passing. Keen-witted, jovial and
gifted with persona' magnetism, he
was a brilliant conversationalist
and delightful raconteur. Being
still in his prime and appearently
hlessed with a vigorous eon
-titution, hi- taking off is as sad |
A press despatch from .Jacksonville
states that John P Coffin
has J>een elected State chairman of
the prohibition organization in
Florida. This is the same Coffin
who tarried for m season in this
part of the State and in the wake
of whose departure followed a halfdozen
hank failures, which institutions
had been "promoted'' and
looted by Mr Coffin, who may he
considered the pioneer apostle of
the cult of "frenzied finance" to
strike this country. It is putting
this class of men at the head of
their organization that discredits
the prohibition cause.
Congressman Ellerlte is re-elected
J?y I**ss than 2,">00 majority out

out the Sixth district as . it fell
off in Williamsburg since 1908, he 1

In the second primary of 1908
Ellerlie received 1 ,W>4 votes in

Iii Kentucky the Republicans 1
have nominated Caleb Powers for i
Congress in the Eleventh district
I
where nomination hy the Repub- i
iieans is equivalent to election by
a big majority. Caleb Powers i
was secretary of State under Governor
Taylor, when the latter was
defeated in ltK)S by Goeliel, a
Democrat, and Powers was the
man who brought the armed
mountaineers to Frankfort to "kill
off enough Democrats to give the
Kebublicans a majority", and incidentally
to slay Goeliel, the Governor-elect.
They killed Governor
GoeM and Powers was convicted
of murder and sentenced to death;
he was granted several new trials
which eventuated in a life imnrUimment
sentence, but he lan

guished in jail only until a Republican
Governor, Willsvn, was
elected who "stood hy his friends"
and gave Powers an unconditional
pardon. Now this apostle of "the
