\ CHINESE TRANSLATION IN COURT.
n. Y. Sun.
Ong Gong is Chinese linguist
of some professions. He recently
translated the constitution and by
laws of q Chinese mutual benefit
society from English into Chinese,
and yesterday in the city court he
sued Ong Sick, for whom the work
was done, for 1912, his price OF
making tho translation. Ong Gong
admitted himself that his transla-
ton was exact and elegant, but
Sing protested that it was very bad
and not worth the price charged
by Ong Gong. The jury did not
undertake TO pass upon the merits
of the translation, but on general
principles rendered a verdict for
the plaintiff.

4 POstmaster's Open Letter to
the Public,

A genuine postmaster, ono who
has had experience, furnishes the
following, it will doubtless prove
valuable TO those who are intcres-
ted:
1-Bo sure to address your let
tiers with Il pencil; the address
gets rubbed off in the sacks and
tho P. NJ. offers it to every one
that calls and ii is sure TO find an
owner.
2-Commence the address on the
top OF the envelope and scatter it
to the bottom so that the mailing
clerk will be obliged TO blot out
half the address in stamping; this
facilitates quick delivery.
"a good way to learn children
to walk is to take them out of the
cradle and start them TO the post
office. 1t is not at all necessary
for children to know their parents
names it is so much nicer for
them TO ask for pa and ma.
+When you ask for letters at
the delivery window be sure to
ask for every member of the famI-
ly, not forgetting the baby il will
save you the trouble of coming
back in five minutes.
5-When you call for letter be
sure to say that you expected one
of importance and that you have
telegram that it was started.
6-Advertisers should send
letter to some boy promising
him two cbromos if he will send
them the names of two hundred
good citizens. The boy will pick
up an old newspaper and Gull out
the requisite number of names and
you can send your circulars to men
that are dead, moved away, sus'
pended or never lived in the place
at all. The P. NJ. can sell them at
two bits hundred.
7-Newspspor men should print
the names of their subscribers on
small slips in colorcd ink, cut the
namc half IN two and paste 1t
on the paper, not on
two papers in the same place. It'll
looks like you had big circula-
ton and little timo 10 handle it.
S-Whcn you ask for a letter
and don't get one, be sure 10 go
away muttering that the P. NJ. is a
fool, and blind at that. He will
look u great deal closer the next
tune.
9-It you get but one postal card
in month you have q right to re-
ccivc it regularly; if you don't

COUNTY FINANCEa.-It is claimed
by some of tho hungry radical can
didates for county offices that the
finances of the county arc not in q
healthy condition and that there
has been extravaganza. Let thom
produce the evidence; the county
records are opon to inspection.
During the balcyon days ofradical
rule IN this county bridge after
bridge was built only to be washed
away and thousands of dollars
were absolutely wasted for the tax
payers. Taxes enough were col
lected and squanderod during radi-
cal rule TO have built two new
courthouses, and during radical
rule radical county treasurer
stole S25, OOO..of the peoples money.
During radical rule county scrip
was hawkcd on the streets at from
30 TO 80 cents on the dollar, and on
no occasion during radical rule
was any county scrip ever paid in
cash. Since the present admins
tration has been in power county
scrip has been at par and is paid in
cash dollar for dollar. A number
of new and good bridges
have been built and the contractors
for every bridge ofany Importance
are under good bond TO the county
guaranteeing the bridges to stand
tor five years. This is something
that was unknown during radical
rule. Conservative people, both
white and colored, have had about
all the radical rule they care about
having. During radical rule and
for revenue only, about two hun
drcd and fifty colorcd men living
in the Washington precinct were
indicted for playing old slcdgc and
perhaps a little monte just for
amusement; many OF them were
arrested and fined and some few
ran OFF to Kansas where they frozo
TO death. Radical rule is respon-
sIbIe for the murder of those in
noccnt colorcd men whose only
SIN was betting nickel that the
dealer couldn't flip jack. If the
radicals arc elected they may try
the same trick ouer again.

no outside aid is required. By far
the larger portion Of the county Is
devoted to stock raising and the
recent rams have made grass and
water abundant. Some farmers
