Hee their ad In another column The New Postal Law. Many of tut subscribers have asked us why the postal laws were changed In regard to the mailing of papers on which the subscription price is not paid. Some seem to feel that tho ruling is a scheme gotten up by the newspapers to compel payment of subscriptions; on the other hand, some newspapers have been liberal in tholr denunciations of the rule as Inji.'rlou? to their business. However, that may be we are not prepared to say, as the ruling has not yet be- | eome effective. After April 11st, the date f>r the rule to become affective we can tell more about it. We i> not. however, see where it can werk a hardship cither to the subscriber or the newspaper. The subscriber pays for his paper (that is, the groat ma? jority do), and it is only a question of paying for It as it comes due, or let? ting it run for years, then paying four or five dollars at a time. If the H?W j rule is complied with it will, we think. I be more satisfactory all around. It is easy to pay for a paper one >ear at a time, and it is hard sometimes, after running on credit for years and years, to come down with from $5 to $10. That, too, is an injustice to the news paper, and if practiced to a great extent would swamp half the weeklies In vho State for the simple reason that the newspapers oannot earn accounts year after year with their supply houses except on a basis of paying In? terest on bills. It brings it down to a simple proposition of the newspaper paying cash for material, supplies and labor and selling' the output on credit with no Interest; or, lacking cash, forces the newspaper to borrow at' Interest and sell on credit without in? terest. Both of the propositions are totally lacking in sound business prin? ciples, and either, if practiced to ?i great extent, will pro/o disastrous. As a matter of fact, wa fail to see where there is any Injustice In tho postoftoe ruling. The following statement of facts by Third Assistant Postmaster Gen? eral Lsavshe, the author of the new regulations, may prove inteicsting to many: "Corf.tin publications which ars spreao^ broadcast over the ccuntry merely for the sake of setting the ad? vertisements they contain before the people practically will be driven out of business. Hundreds of periodicals heretofore have been published whose subscription lifts wero padd?d to tha utmost limit. It made n> difference to tho publisher, whether people pall the subscription pric9 of the poriodl oal or not. The price was purely nominal in most Instances. Toe ad? vertisers paid the freight, so they say, and the government carried tha pake publications practically free through tho malls. "Now the situation has been changed. Hereafter the government will not have the malls turdoned with enormous subscription lists that are no^ genuine or with sampla copies of this publication or that which does not ray its own way through the malls. During the month of January nearly 20,000,000 less copies cf purcry advertising pub? lications were carried in the mails than were carried during the month of December before the new regula? tions became effective. Heretofore these publications have been trans? ported by the department at pound rates, precisely as real new: papers. 'This constituted abuse of the mail privilege that never was within contemplation of congress when that part of the postal law was enacted. The sanding of vast amounts of sec? ond class matter through the malls does not Increase the revenue of thi department to any great otent, but It does increase tremendously the expense and trouble. The sample copy abuse has also bsen can led to extreme*. "It Lsf an absolute, fast that some puglishers rarely, If ever, take a name from their subscription lists after it has been placel :hcreon, not wlthst'iti'lir I the fact that the sub? scriber no longer wants the publica? tion. Those cr.nditions are d? alt with in tho regulations, and once they are understood snd c >nformed to by pub? lishers the result will be beneficial, not only to the government but als > to publishers and subscribers. "Heretofore the second-class matter ha*, amounted to nearly seventy per c? nt. of all the matter carried through the malls, and yet has yielded less than RVj per cent of the revenues. Under the reg jlatlons thl* proportion will be chary*d. I beli?Vi the second (laps matter will amount, when busi? ness is adjusted to the new regula? tions to not more than fifty per cent, of the mall matt>r, and that the r?? ve\u? from this claaa will shew an ap? preciable increase.

"One Tauch of Nature Mokes the Whole World Kin." ?When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers some? thing exceptionally good?he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is th<* touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Cham? berlain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for publication, that others similarly ailing may also use It and obtain relief. Behind ev? ery one of these letters Is a warm hearted wish of the wTlter to be of use to someone else. This remedy Is for sale by all druggists. The suw mill of Parker Bros. Lum? ber Co., situated at Heriots* Cross Roads, was burned at 2 o'clock Sun? day afternoon. The mill was a total loss and 250,000 feet of lunber stack? ed on the yard also burned. The fire started In the sawdust pile, and fan? ned by the high wLnd, spread to the mill. The actual loss was between 53,501 and $4.000, with no Insurance. This is the third Are the Messrs Park? er have had in the past few years, tha total loss by the three flVts exceeding 510,000. ?Scrub yourself daily, you're not clean inside.
