Life on t. Torpedo Boat.

So Injurious is life on a torpedo boat
that a years continuous service will
mentally and physically incapacitate a
man. This assertion is made on the
authority of Lord Charles Beresford.
but that the strain on any one serving
on these craft is very great is shown by
the fact that to one months service
the British naval regulations allow one
week OF. Austria is endeavoring to
mitigate the hardship OF service on
these boats, and life on one built for
the Austrian navy and tried on the
Thames recently was demonstrated to
be pleasanter than on those OF the
English navy.

As the recipient of his trouble he
chose Mary Culliford, his oldest gfrl
friend. He had run races with her
when in short frocks-the girl. I mean.
He had grown up side by side with her,
and knew her with an intimacy that
rendered ridiculous any notion of ro-

of-fact girl, she would look at the sf-

The Free Mail Delivery,

Ex.rac. from an Interview with 'R N. L.
Representative Stokes made q
special visit at the Post Office De
partment this NOR, ily to look att +
the bidding on Star Route contracts
in South Carolina. It will be re-
membered that for the first time in
the history of the country, the ex-
pertinent in making for the fee
delivery of mail along S:ar Routes,
and South Carolina is the Stat
selected for the experiment. 1t wa.
selected in recognition Of the efforts
of Representative Stokes, the origina-
tor of the system.
Gen. Shallenberger expressed great
satisfaction at the results of the
bidding so far as ascertained. They
fully verify the claim of Mr.. Stokes
a year ago in the house and in the
department that the system could be
put into operation at little if any
increased cost; and it is only a ques-
ton of short time when free delivery
will be extended to all the $4,000
routes in the United States. If Mr..
Stokes never accompanies anything
else in Congress this should entitle
him to the gratitude of the ralal
population, not only in South Caro-,
liza, but in the nation.
MI. Stokes also finds reason to
believe that the proportion of local
bidders who have captured contracts
direct from the Government, much
longer than heretofore, and this re-
suit he attrib,t sto ssystemtt effort
on his part last summer to arouse
ioterest in bidding among the loca'
contractors and sub contractors al
over South Carolina. He yrs ir
correspondence with every contrac
tor in the State giving instruction ano
suggestion. Of course this greatly
increased his correspondence and
labor, but he feels amply compen'
stated for his trouble in the light o.
the bidding.
