Before the Days of pos,age-stamps.

st. Nicholas: Before the use Of post
age-stamps various sums were paid for
the delivery of letters. The amounts
were regulated by the distance, and
were collected on the delivery Of the
letter. In the early part of this century
the postage on a single sheet Of paper
was eight cents and over forty miles
the rate was increased; so that over
five hundred miles a single sheet was
twenty-five cents. But after n time
these rates were gradually reduced, un-
til in 1915 Il letter weighing not over
half an ounce was five cents under three
hundred miles, and over that distance,
ten cents.
Sir Rowland Hill, who was at the
head of the pOstotlice department Of
England ut this time, introduced the use
of postage stamps in 1910, and also less
ened the charges for postage. In 1917
the United States adopted the use of
the postage-stamp, the lowest-priced
one being five cents.
But railroad and steamboats, had now
taken the place of the old-fashioned
mail coaches and postboys; and with the
more rapid sending Of the mails. the
cheaper rates Of postage, and the grow
ing population of the country, gradual
changes and Improvements took place
in the postottice system And here we
are, in 1892, receiving our letters from
the Pacific coast in six days-also from
England in the same time; and a few
days or hours will place us in direct
communication with our friends and
correspondents in almost every part oi
the country.

ORDER AND

Whatever else may be said concerning
politics and politicians in North Caro-
lima, it cannot be denied that the dele
gates to the state convention at Raleigh,
now in session, are gentlemen and that
they so far have acted as such.
1t is a year when all the elements were
mixed there were strong men and good
men who had their names presented to
the body, and if there was ever a time on
earth when excitement naturally runs
high it is when good men are running
for the same office and asking extraor-
binary favors.
In the democratic state convention at
Raleigh there were over 1000 delegates.
The large warehouse in which it assem-
bled was literally packed and iammed.
But be it said, with honor and credit Of
those representing the people, there were
no chickering's there were no attempts at
chicanery; good order and quiet pre-
vailed, and all was open and above board.

piles of the world to visit the United
States next year and to witness the ma
terial evidences of the progress of the
republic. We shall present to their gaze
magnificent proofs of our development
in all practical directions, and we shall
be able to show them, also, evidences of
splendid attainment in educational work.
But we shall not be able to show an
equally praiseworthy progress in aesthetic
culture-in the cultivation of the popular
taste and desire for art-and if our visit
ors inquire closely into the causes of this
they will hardly fail to conclude that one
Of them is the restraint which the govern
ment for a third of a century has imposed
upon the admission of foreign art. We
cannot now escape the reproach which
such a discovery would bring upon US,
but we can give assurance of doing better
in the future by making art free. A duty
may have been defensible when the de-
mands Of a great war called for revenue
from every possible source, and even for
some years later while an m debt
was to be paid off, but it is not defensi-
bic under present conditions and its re-
moyal will be approved by the intelligent
judgment of the country.

ACCEPTED GRACEFULLY.

Perhaps in the history of all North
| Carolina conventions there was never a
time when more interest centered in the
selection of a governor than was mani
tested this year.
The fact that GOVERNOR HOLT was
filling out the unexpired term of the la
mented GOVERNOR FowLE, gave to him,
according to all precedeDts and usages
the u%ndisputed right to the nomination.
But in these uncertain times it was
urged by the friends Of other candidates
and emphasized by the alliance party
that if Mr.. HOLT was nominated he
could not be elected.
So placing party above personal choice
the democrats made it possible for other
candidates to be perfectly Pm order.
Col. j. S. CARR, of this city, was a
strong man and he refused to allow his
name 10 De uSeO until a lew DAYS UeIOEe
the convention. Hence he lacked organi-
z~ation, and his friends lacked that pecu-
liar political leadership which non but
professional politicians possess.
Without any definite understanding as
to whether or not he would allow his
name to be presented to the convention,
many county delegations which would
have gone solidlY for him, had his posi-
tion been understood, were instructed for
avowed candidates.
In the defeat of Mr.. CARR he has lost
no political prestage and he gracefully
accepts the nomination of ELIAS CARR.
He will do all in bis power for the sue
cess of the democratic party in Novem-
Der, as will also GOVERNOR HOLT, who
was so unexpectedly defeated.

morning:
RALEIGH, May 16-It is not my desire
to rub it in upon myself, yet in these quiet
hours of the long ~morn-these hours when
there is no rush or noise or hustle on the
streets of your city, I do wish to suggest
to you that the poet who said that regret
was a wild, woody and grisley cuss-
Well, he almost told the truth. In the
little skirmish which preceded the ami.
hilation of your candidate and mine-the
little friendly tits that We had in those
uncertain days-well, let us together bear
our defeat, even as we would cherish our
victory had we won it.
But then no matter.
| wrote the other day that life was d
riddle we died in guessing, and tossed to
our neighbor, and that was all. In a mo-
ment of wild, hilarious and unseemly
monkey work, | imagined that it would
be easy to nominate a gOvernor-but then
the dream was rudely snatched away By
about sixteen hundred delegations which
| thought were solid.
But even in this hour of anguish, OF
sorrow, of defeat and humiliation, allow
me 10 assure you, sir, that with a farmer
as governor, my vans must, as a natural
sequence, increase in price, my geese will
grow larger and my onions will be ladened
with a more perfect perfume. Ifyou, sir,
have any griefs, please feel that your heart
may come out to mine. | shall borrow a
dollar and scOot. have not time to crawl
under this convenient table upon which l
write these few lines which | think are
real and genuine thought.
