LOTTERIES AND THE MAILS.
The Money Department of the New of-
leans Postotiice Losing Business.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, September IL
The anti-lottery law passed by Congress
last week has had a wonderful effect
on the New Orleans postoffice, and its
business has decreased so that reduc-
ton in the force has become necessary.
Although the law has been in operation
only few days, the business in the
registry and money order departments
has shrunk 80 or ~ per cent. Its estl-
mated by the postof1ice inspectors that
the business will shrink altogether
two-thirds in consequence Of denying
the lottery the use Of the mails, and
that the general business Of the Office
will decline over 33 per cent. This
will, ofcourse, entail a reduction in the
number Of clerks.
Postmaster Eaton expresses regret at
this, but says it is unavoidable. He
anticipates no trouble over the enforce
ment of the law, as the managers OF
the lottery company have given him
| notice that they have instructed their
people not to violate the law, but to
use the express companies. When the
| anti-lottery law was signed the Louisi-
ana Lottery Company discharged all
its mailing clerks on the ground that
! it no longer had need for them. 1t has
since taken them back, explaining that
it has made other arrangements tor
transacting the business, which will
necessitate their services. 1t Is under
stood that this arrangement is with the
express companies, which have con-
tracted to handle its money business.
The mails, however, seem to be tho
roughly closed to the lottery. Indeed,
the company is making no attempt to
evade the law, although there is talk
of testing its constitutionality in the
Courts.
| NEWSPAPERS IN TROUBLE.

The Weekly Atlanta Constitution, OF
this week, and all other papers coming
here for this place and for distribution
in this section, which, upon examina-
ton were found to contain lottery ad'
vertisements.
The officers Of the Advertiser COM
pany, of this city, were also required
to give bend for appearance at the Uni
ted States court for publishing last Sun
day lottery advertisements, although
they announce in the next issue that
having learned that the law became
operative at once, lottery advertise
ments would not again be inserted II
their columns.

THE SCHOOLS AGAIN.
BY ANOTHER CITIZEN.

LDITOR DEMOCRAT In passing
the female academy some time back,
] was struck with the neat and re-
fined look Of the girls and thought
to myself what q difficult task the
teachers had to make them so,
when the surrounding scenes wore
such 8 dilapidated aspect. The
next week, your excellent article
came out on The schools Of the place,
and last week "Citizen'' came in with
an excellent article on the subject:
and | would like to add an encour>
aging word, and ask why can't We
Go it, and try TO give our children
better advantages than we had our
selves? This is a progressive age,
and if Scotland Neck wishes TO keep
up, she must look to her youth to do
the work, and the better qualified
that youth, the better will they fill
the bill. Refined women make re-
fined men, and thereby society is
inprovod, and religion is advanced.
The academy buildings should be
painted, yard we'll walled IN and
grounds laid of with walks for the
girls, and the play grounds for the
boys put in neat order.
Like "Citizen" | am not well off
rs to this worlds goods, but will do
my part towards attaining the ends
in views, and will add that have
10 children to send to school, but
am willing to do what can towards
the advancement Of education in our
town. Keep the ball rolling. Who
next. CITIZEN No. 2.

MRS. B. D. WEBB.

Maria, the beloved wife OF B, d.
Webb, Esq, entered into rest eternal
on the morning of the 6tk inst.
For several years her health had
been declining and for two months
or more it had been evident to the
loving eyes Of those who watched
her that there could be bat one end
20 the Struggle. Her dccease was
not, therefore, unexpected to them.
Still, it found them unprepared as 1t
always finds those VITO love: and
they are in the darkness Of an IN
measurable sorrow. But it is sorrow
which is lightened by hope which
is both sure and steadfast" and
''entereth into that which is within
the veil
Mrs. Webb was 9 sincere and
earnest christian. For several years
she had been 8 beloved member Of
the Baptist church in this place.
Her health and engrossing family
cares kept her from the activity to
which her heart inclined her, in the
service of the Redeemer and His
church, both SO dear t. her. Her
hope in Christ was steadfast unto
the end.
She leaves six little children. Her
great love for them made her, for
long, unwilling to die but at the last
she lovingly commended them toHim
whose tender mercies are over all his
works and departed in peace, to be
forever with the Lord.
Mrs. Webb was a daughter of the
late Col. Allen, of Raleigh. 1t was
JOY to her that her brother, Chas
Allen, Esq, and her sister, Mrs
Goodloe, were with her at the last.
The tender sympathies and earn
est prayers of a large circle are with
the husband in his grief and with
his motherless little ones.

EARLY CLOSING FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT.

We have seen discussion IN some
Of our exchanges relative to closing
stores in Saturday nights at >
o'clock. In the cities aud towns,
the ordinary plan Is to keep all the
stores open on Saturday nights
about two hours later than on any
other night in the week. Merchants
may say that there is heavier
trade on Saturdays and Saturday
nights and it is impossible to close
m business until a very late hour.
1t is true generally that there is
more trade on Saturday than on
any other day of the week, but it IS
seldom necessary to keep stores
open as late as they are kept open.
In the cities and towns many
stores arc kept open square up
until y o'clock and the clerks and
business men have to round up
their business after II o'clock. Or
if the stores are closed by / O'Clock
there is more rounding up to do
than on any other night, and the
business men and clerks seldom get
to sleep on Saturday night befoIe
u or l O'Clock.
This seems to Us to be a mistake
for two reasons. First, almost every
other business takes little OF
Saturday or Saturday night, the
last end Of the week, to rest and
breathe a little free air before
Sunday; and there is no reason why
clerks and b00k-keepers should not
have the last three hours Of the
week also,
And in the second place, a man
who stays up until II or l O'Clock
on Saturday night is IN very poor
plight to attend upon divine wo1-
ship on Sunday. Many sermon
thlt is pronounced dull and dry
would make a different impression
were the listeners not so sleepy,
and in many instances SO sound
asleep during its delivery. And
many a preacher would be able to
exp0Qnl the word Of truth with
more force and power OH the Sab
bath were he speaking to vide
awake men ana women rather than
to drowsy hearers and in many
cases empty benches.
The matter is worth considering,
and TIE DL1I0CEAT would be glad
to see every business house in
Scotland Neck closed at 8 o'clock
OF every Saturday night, People
would soon learn it in the country
and would not expect accommoda-
tiOns after that hour.

DEATH OF MR.. THOS. w.
HARRISS.

On Monday of last week, the
venerable Thos. ". IIarriss died at
his home near Panacea Springs in
this county. He was quite old and
was one Of the best and truest and
most intelligent citizens OF Halifax
county.
The Wilmington Messenger pays
his memory the following tribute:
One of the truest Of North Carolini-
ans, the noblest Of men, the best Of
cltIzeus, the most devoted and pious
of Christians, has gone to his reward.
The venerable and admirable Thomas
W. Harriss, Of Halifax, is dead, IN his
81st year. Halifax never had a nobler
man born within her borders, and
Christianity has rarely had such ar
eXemplar. The late Rev. DR.. Drury
Lacy once said to US that ''take him
all and in all he had never known Mr..
Harrlss's equal" He was a man of
large fortune before the war, owned
until recently the famous Panacea
Springs,wa8 an alumnus of theUniver
slty of North Carolina, protested
faith in Christ while a student and
reading the ProdIgal Son as recorded
by Luke, united with the Methodists,
was for more than ffty-fve years a
Steward on old Roanoke circuit,
lived Cody life and has gone to
l.

A REVENUE CONGRESS.

John +, FurgersOn. writer in
the "Independent Department" i'll
Bel forts -Uogozjnc for October,
advocates the creating of "a special
diet to which all legislation relating
to national tariffs and taxes shall
be assigned" He says that ''the
government spends money for the
sake of spending 1t. The sun has
never shone upon another nation
that has scattered the tributes Of
the people so recklessly."
1t is argued that Congress could
not give the subject Of revenues
the consideration its importance
demands if it would. "When Con
gress was a small body and had but
few matters before it, and the
revenue system was not at all
complicated, 1t was fully equal
to the task of tariff and similar
legislation that was intrusted to it..
But that is not the case to-day.
The subject of revenue has out
grown the machinery that was
made to handle it,"
1t is argued also that such a body
as suggested, by whatever name it
might be called, whether Council,
Commission, Convention or what
not, should have nothing committed
to it but questions Of tariff and
revenue and that all such questions
ought to be submitted to it. That
1t ought to be formed of the men IN
the nation best suited for handling
such subjects, and should be a
permanent institution and not a
mere "makeshiEt."
1t should not assemble, says the
writer, ottoner than once III ten
years, except under extraordinary
circumstances, its membership
being renewed on each OCCASION
Its work should not be disturbed.
Our present system Of revenue
legislation is subject to be suddenly
turned up side down upon any
political revolution from any partl-
san cause whatever. But the in
stltution proposed would hold the
revenue system unchanged for ten
years at least after every assem-,
bling Of the diet
Under the present system of
revenue legislation, the writer says,
when Congress is all the while
tinkering at some tariff question,
men are afraid to enter upon any
business that is liable to be affected
by the revenue laws. They know
not at what time the whole thing
may be changed, and so know not
what to depend upon.
"The state of New York, finding
that its judiciary system needed
reconstruction, and that it's Legls-
lature, promiscuOusIy made up, was
untitled for the undertaking, has
created a committee that is to con-
sist Of specialists, and has consign-
ed the whole business to Them"
This is somewhat the plan that is
advocated for disposlng OF the tariff
and revenue questions.
Whether it is practicable or not,
it is novel idea, and will doubtless
receive some consideration by the
thinking men of the country.
