Millions of Dead Letters.

Superintendent D. P. Leibhardt, of the
Dead Letter Office at Washington, has
issued letter which gives a report of all
the mail matter reaching his office, and
contains many suggestions to the public.
He says that more than six million
pieces of mail matter are sent annually
to the Dead Letter Office by reason Of
incorrect, illegible or deficient address,
insufficient postage or insecure closing
There is. daily average of more than
twenty thousand pieces. Letters con.
tanning nothing of value are not record.
ed. Packages are recorded, and ifnot
claimed within two years are sold A
large proportion of the packages sent to
the Dead Letter Office fail to be restored
to the owners because of the absence of
anything to indicate ownership.
Of the unclaimed mail matter received
at the Office during the fiscal year, 451,
600 we're letters misdirected-that is,
not addressed to postofice or addressed
to postoffice without the State being
given. No addresses whatever were to
be found on "a, 900 letters, many of which
contained money, checks and drafts. OF
letters sent to domestic addresses, $4,000
we're held for postage. Forty.two thou

dresses, $4,000 unclaimed parcels of mer.

Better than Cotton.

That small industries help TO develop 6
country and add to the prosperity of the
people and also create diversity in ag..
ricultural pursuits, is illustrated by the
White Oak Canning Company. a gen.
tleman from the neighborhood informs us
that some Of the tomato patches have al.
ready yielded over S25 worth of fruit and
that from one patch $50 have been pock.
eted. These patches range from a guar.
ter to half an acre. Think of it, $50 from
half an acre.
There is no reason why these enterpri.
ses should not be started all over the
country. White Oak has set a good ex.
ample.
It requires comparatively little capital
to start. One thousand dollars will buy
and operate small plant, Winnsboro,
by all means, should organize cannery
next spring.
The White Oak Company have canned
tomatoes, okra and corn, grapes, black
berries, etc. A few days ago the first
shipment of cans was made, and as this
class of goods is on the rise, the company
expects to make good showing for its
first years business-and it will not be
in experience alone.- Winnsboro News and

Gains q Life Extension.

COLUMBIA, S. O., September 20
Whitfield Murrel, the young Edgefeld
murderer, whose conviction, escape and
recapture were the sensation of the
hour, had his sentence to- day commuted
by the governor from death to life i'm.
prisonment in the penitentiary. Murrel
would have been hanged next Friday.
He is nineteen years old. A year ago
he and another young man named Car.
penter met and killed young Yonce on a
public road in Edge6eld. They were
both convicted, but were recommended
to mercy by the jury. Carpenter and
Murrel escaped from Jail. The latter
has been recaptured. The Communication
was granted because of the recommenda.
ton Of the jury to mercy, that custom
having been followed without an excep.

a thousand names protested against COM

SALT LAKE Cry, September 1.-THE
|iUtah commission has forwarded to the
secretary of the interior alengthy report
of its operations and proceedings for the
year ending September LIST, 1890. The
principal feature Of the report is re-.
commencing of future legislation in sup.
port of existing laws. After reviewing
the elections held in Utah since their last
report, the commissioners say: During
the year there have been frequent ex.s
pressions of hope that the church WOULD
| in some authoritative and explicit manner,
declare in favor of the abandonment Of
polygamy, or plural marriage, as one
of the saving doctrines or the teachings
of the church, but no such declaration has
been made. There is little reason for
doubling. So complete is the control Of
the church over its people that if such
declaration were made by those in an.
thority it would be accepted and followed
by large majority Of the membership Of
the so called mormon church," and
settlement of the much discussed "Mor.
mon question" would soon be reached.
On the contrary, in all teachings in the
tabernacle and church organs, every eff,
fort of the government to suppress this
crime is still denominated as persecution,
and those charged with ferreting out and
prosecuting the guilty are denominated
as prosecutors O. the saints. The church
seems to grow more united from day to
day under these teachings. At general
conference of .the church, held at Salt
Lake City in April last, Wilford Wood.
ruff, a disfranchised polygamist, was
chosen prophet, seer, ard reYelator aud
president of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints in all the World"-
the first time since the death of John
Taylor, in 1887, that that Office has been
filled.
At the same time George @. Cannon
was chosen as first counsellor in the first
presidency" and Lorenza Snow as "pres-
ident of the twelve apostles" all of them
being disfranchised polygamlsts. The
"council of the twelve apostles" was COM
pleted by filling all vacancies. A large
portion of the twelve apostles and high
dignitaries of the church are polygamists,
and eli are reputed to be open believers
in the doctrine. Indeed, it is believed
that no one can be promoted to Office in
the church unless he processes belief in
it as fundamental doctrine.
It is the opinion of the committee that
nothing but the wholesome fear of the
penalties of the law leads them to even
make pretense of obedience to it, and
then there never has been any change in
the gospel ordinances.
In conclusion, the commission repeats
what it said in its last report-that in
this matter government and congress
should take no backward or even waver-
ing step, but should continue the active
and vigorous enforcement of laws, and
improvement of them by the amendment
of such as would make them more effect
i've. aud by enacting such other laws as
experience may show to be wise and more
eficacious to accomplish the desired end.
