BETTER MAIL SERVICE.
Another Mail Route on the Ohio River
Railroad.

Railroad,
No city of its size has better post
Office accommodations than Hunt
ington has under the administra
tion of Postmaster Marcum and
Assistant Postmaster Werninger.
The service is as efficient as it is
possible to be and many compli-
ments have been passed upon the
Office and the carriers whose
promptness and fidelity are appre-
ciated in the highest degree.
1t is the railway mail service of
which complaint may justly be
made For instance, on the Ohio
River Railroad Huntington has the
advantage of but one postal clerk
each way every day.
1t is suggested and the plan has
the approval of the Huntington
postofiee Officials that two other
postal clerks be put on, so as to re-
ceive mail from all the intermedi-
ate points between Huntington and
Parkersburg every day on the Sec
ond morning train and to send out
mail to all these intermediate points
on the train leaving Huntington
late in the afternoon.
An agitation of the matter is all
that is necessary. What have the
people of Huntington and the peo-
pie along the Ohio River railroad
who would be benefited by the
additional railway mail service to
say on the subject,-Huntington

Our Apple Crop.

The present year is notable for
its enormous apple crop. The Uni
ted States has produced an aggre-
gate of 66,OOO,OOO barrels, which to-
tai is larger by something over
100000 than the estimated num-
Der of barrels for the year 1899,
whom the census authorities made
an exhaustive attempt to form a
correct idea of the yearly produc-
ton.
But while this gain is satisfactory,
and while the American apple is OBJ
tanning new favor yearly abroad, it
is to be noticed that another apple
producing section of the world is
pressing US hard for the trade.
Canada this year is making special
efforts to hold the London market,
which is practically that for all
England, Ireland and Scotland, and
from the quotations for the export
ed fruit which have SO far been pub
lished on this side of the water the
people across our nothern bounda-
ries have already pre- empted the
most favorable opportunities of sal e.
Evangelist Schoolfeld, so well
known TO our people, and who held
series of meetings in the Opera
House in this place, which resulted
in SO much good, will begin series
of meetings at Hinton, next week.

Our Code.

In our transactions with man
kind we are not actuated by malice
nor puffed up with conceit, neither
imbittered by adversities or giddy
from the effects of unbounded sue
cess, but with an unquenchable
desire to be actively and earnestly
engaged in something that will
yield an honest support for self and
family and at the same time be of
some use as a member of society is
the great motive power that impels
us onward and makes life worth
the living. Perhaps too often too
bold and outspoken to be popular,
yet our convictions are based on
our best conception of right, and
despise with our whole nature the
mean coward who won't stand by
his principles.
We have no enemies to punish
nor boughten friendship to repay
but shall steadfastly adhere to that
golden principle that leads to the
triumph of the right and the sup
preston of the wrong. And as we
live in the freest of countries and
are owned by no man or set of men
and as we intend keeping within
the bounds of the law so we shall at
all times express our opinions with
out fear or apprehension.
We despise nor dislike no man
for his politics or his religion. If
he casts his ballot as he himself
thinks best nobody on earth has a
righC to prevent him and if he is
satisfied that his religion will take
him to heaven no one should raise
an objection.
The greatest thing in man is
mind.

a new rule has been adopted on
the Ohio River Railroad in regard
to overtime work among trainmen.
Heretofore some of them have made
almost double time in a month.
Hereafter, a trainman will not be
allowed to be on duty over 18 con.
secutive hours. When the IS hours
is up they are required to go off
duty. Engineers will not be al
lowed to make over 5000 miles a
month. They are paid at the rate
of 3 cents per mile and have b.en
making as high as $3.50 per month.
One of them informs us that in IA
days this month he had made $500
miles and his 5000 miles will be
made tomorrow, then he will take
3 rest until the first O1 next mJn IL.
This step was taken as al addi-
tional safeguard to travel over the
line. Accidents are due sometimes
to trainmen who fall asleep while
on duty, from overwork, and it is
to obviate anything of this kind
that the new order has been made.
There has been a tremendous
amount of work done along the
entire line this summer and the
road is now in a better condition
than at any time since it was open
ed for traffc.-Parkersburg Senti-
