Our Mails in Early Days.

Gin Washington's first term an
effort was made to speed the mails
to move them at the rate of one
hundred miles III twenty-four hours
writes Ex-president Harrison, in his
This Country of Ours article, in
the Ladies' Home Journal.
'"This would have been notable
advance, for the carriers were then
taking nearly thirty hours be-
tween Philadelphia and New York.
The roads were bad, and there were
many slow ferries. In 1915 there
were only twenty-eight post offices
in the colonies, in 1895 there were
453, and in 1895 there were
7O,o64. The rates of postage when
the department was organized I'M
der the constitution were high; for
thirty miles, six cents for one letter
sheet; for sixty miles, eight cents;
for one hundred miles, ten cents, and
so increasing with the increased
distance to maximum, % cents for
distance over $50 miles. Stamps
were not in use in those days, nor
was the sender of letter, required
to pay postage in advance. The
postage, six cents or twenty five
cents, as the case might be, was
written by the postmaster on the
letter, and if the sender paid the
postage, the word paid was adj
ded; if he did not, the postage was
collected of the person to whom the
letter was addressed. These rates
soon yielded asurplus over the cost
of the service, in spite of the frank
ing privilege which the law gave to
Congressman and the heads of
departments"

Humane Society.
TContributed.l

The growing need for a "'Hu
name Society" in Hardeman Coun-
ty has been felt for some time by
many of our citizens who have a
tender feeling for the "defenseless''
ones of earth. As an outgrowth OF
some preliminary talk, the follow
ing charter members met at the
courthouse on last Saturday after
noon: Messrs. G.. A. Miller, julius
Crawford, DIR. r. A. Tate, Mes
danes B. Wood and 0. p. Brooks.
The object of the meeting was to
organize and elect officers. Mr..
Crawford presided. Mrs. Blanche
Wood was elected President, Miss
Mary Smith Ist Vice President,
Mr.. J. Crawford, 2nd Vice Presi-
dent, Mr.. G. a. Miller 3rd Vice
President, Gen. r. p. Nicely 4th
Vice President, DR.. Il. A. Tate
Secretary and Treasurer pro tenn,
and Miss Fannie Jones Correspond
ing Secretary. 1t is earnestly de-
sired by the Board that all citizens
of Hardeman County, old and
young, little and big, black and
white, become members of this as
sociation. The dues are nominal.
The ministers and editors were
unanimously appointed honorary
members. As an educator for the
young, this society will be of ines
Unable benefit if properly main
tanned. The meetings will be held
the first Saturday in each month at
the courthouse. At the next meet
ing delegation of the colored peo-
pie of Bolivar will be present to or
ganize a society of their own, and
they will receive the hearty indorse-
meRt of the Bolivar Humane So
ciety,"
The cause is a just and merciful
one, and should receive the cooper
alton of every citizen of the county.

THE SCHOOL TAX.

The election Wednesday,
submitting to the qualified
voters of the corporation Of
Bolivar the proposition of
levying an extra tax for
school purposes, resulted in
1O4 votes for the tax and 81
against it.
A short while ago this
same proposition was submit
ted and carried by one ma
jority. The opponents OF the
measure were dissatisfied.
They employed counsel and
the matter was brought be-
fore the Chancery Court.
The Chancellor ruled that
the election was illegal; that
it was ordered and held by
the sheriff instead of the
election commissioners.
The late election was held
by the proper authorities.
There is a difference OF
opinion among the members
of the Bolivar bar in regard
to what is necessary to levy
a special tax. Some claim
that a majority vote, under
the special act passed by the
present legislature for this
particular purpose, is suffi-
cient; while others hold that
no special tax can be voted
upon a corporation without
the consent of two-thiI dis or
three-fourths Of the voters.
We understand that the
opponents Of the measure
will again carry the matter
into court to test it's legality.

Shakespeare in whiteville.

1t was Sunday afternoon. The
BULLETIN reporter slouched against
the depot window and sucked clay
pipe, vaguely wishing anything
would happen.
Squire Tom Stewart came out on
to the platform and stopped with a
sniff, hitching the waist band of his
trousers to an easier adjustment.
"Mac," he said, 'I'm going to
marry couple up to my office to-
night an l proposed to have Wal
ter Morrison read some Shakespeare
for the Notwithstanding sorter
appropriate, you know, but he
backed down an l dono how I'll

scribe scented amusement. "Pn

The Squire shifted again and shifted
a three-inch quid under the wreck
of his two remaining jaw teeth.
"Pm goin' up to the office now an

began-the scribe waived dissent
and swung alongside. ''There's
nothing for me here, Squire; I'll 90
up and have look at the Shakes
peare before supper"
The Temple of Themis occupies
the front of Champion Bros. res
taurant. The Squire showed a chair
to the scribe and fished uncertainty
in a wide vast of papers on his ia
bic. He disinterred a tattered copy
of ''Kain," open at the matrimonial
service, below which formular was
rather lengthy excerpt from the
wedding scene in the Tempest"
The scribe scanned the lines while
the Squire raked a dark brown cigar
box full of rich looking sawdust
from under the table with his foot
and shot the ruins of his squid into

One of the many amusing
incidents which are bound to
happen during a scare like
the present, is now going on
between Fulton, KY, and
jackson, Tenn. A drummer
by the name of Powell, whose
home is in Brownsville, board
ed a train at jackson to go to
Fulton The was asked to show
his health certificate. This
he could not do and he was
forced to return to Jackson
where he found the same
state of affairs existing, and
not being allowed to stop
there was transferred to the
north bound train for Fulton.
He has now been on the train
for four days between these
two points not being allowed
to leave the train at an place
along the line, the trainmen
bringing him food which he
eats out of a paper in one end
of the car.-Tipton Record.
