An exchange tells story of a
partnership existing between dem
ocrat, populist, republican and
free silver republican. One of
the conditions of their contract was
that when a partner died, each of
the survivors was to deposit 800
in the coffin to be buried with the
deceased. The democrat died first
and after the remains had been
prepared for burial the survivors
met and the conditions of the con-
tract were discussed. Said the re-
publican, L believe in a single
gold standard and true to my prin-
ciple. l placed five $50 gold pieces
in the coffin. y And l." said the

FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT.

The ARDMoREITE has heretofore
spoken Of the desirability and ne
cessity of naming Ardmore's
streets. The work of the town
site commission has now reached
the stage where such action is inn
perative either on the part of the
city or the commission.
The preliminary survey has been
completed to the railroad and it is
necessary to designate the streets
in some manner on the map. The
commission prefers that this work
be done by the city as it would
propably be more satisfactory to
the people for the streets to have
local and familiar names.
This work could be taken up by
the council and the commercial
club jointly and could be accom-
plished very shortly and at small
expense, or even at no expense at
all, for a proposition has been
made to paint the street signs and
put them up free of charge. The
work would not require much time
and would be decided improve
ment.
Besides this. there are other
considerations which argue strong
ly for prompt action. When our
streets are named and the houses
numbered Ardmore will be in a
position to receive a postal delivery
service, as all other requirements
have been met already.
Then it is highly important that
this work be done before the as
sessment of taxes begins next
year. The books of the assessor
this year show the lamentable need
of this work. 1t was impossible
to describe and distinguish prop
erty so that it could be readily
identified and the same unsatisfac-
tory conditions should not be al
owed to hamper the work of the
assessor another year.
This work should be-taken up
and at once. 1t is important and
urgent. Let the commercial club
and the council get together
through committees and devise a
plan for the work. 1t will facili-
tate the work of the townsite COM
mission, it will hasten free mail
delivery for our city, it will ex-
pedite and lessen the work of the
tax assessor and it will prove a
great convenience, to our people.

The poet says the way farer with
empty pockets whistles as he goes
along needless of robbers. To-day
poverty is often the protection of
nations as it is of individuals.
But the nation which is weak and
has gold mines must beware. lis
riches excites the greed of the ma
jestic highwayman, Great Britain,
and IFS feebleness emboldens the
highwayman to seize coveted sour
ces of treasure. The accursed thirst
for gold has been the cause of most
of the recent disputes between
Great Britian and other countries.
If there were no gold mines in the
Transvaal, English troops would
not now be sailing to South Africa.
Had there been no gold in Venez-
uela. there would have been no dis
pute over territory witl Great Brit
ian. If Alaska did not produce
gold as we'll as ice, there would be
no controversy over its boundaries.

L. T. SMITH THE
 NEW POSTMASTER Appointed to Succeed Lee at
 Anniston.
SETTLEMENT OF A MIDDLE
Mayor r. M. flight is in Very Preca- rious Condition, and is Not Ex- pected to Recover
 ment Lymphatic Glands

Anniston, July 1o.-(special)-The Annis- the appointment of L. T. Smith as post master.
 George s. Lee has been postmaster for the past two years. but was arrested and suspended about two months since by Post office Inspector Rosson on a charge of en- bezzlement The amount involved was about $33. the difference in an extra clerks salary for the last three months Of last year. arising so MT. Lees friends claim, from misunderstanding between Post master Lee and the postoffice department as to what the extra clerks salary should be- The amount was paid to the extra clerk soon after his time was up and, MT. Lees friends claim, as soon as the tangle as to the amount was strengthened out. MT. Lees arrest and suspension followed some time later. He was arraigned be- fore United States Commissioner G. B. Randolph, but his attorney, Captain John Pelham, tried to wave examination on the ground that Commissioner Randolph was an applicant for the postmastership in case MI. Ieo Was IeiHONGu, anu 1OI tIltS lSdSOH it might be embarrassing for him to try tn case. Commissioner Randolph, however, that he would be compelled to take the evidence for the government, and he did so. MT. Lee was bound over in the sum of $500 to await United States grand jury action. His official bondsmen demonstrated their confidence in him by again becoming his sureties. One of his bondsmen, O.. E. Ansley, has been acting postmaster since MT Lees suspension and has made a good one. MT. Lee and his friends made strong fight for his reinstatement and against his permanent removal, but failed. An interesting coincidence in the affair is that Lee and Smith who succeeds him are both from Urbana, O., having come to An niston ten or twelve years since from that city. Both are prominent republicans, though belonging to different factions Smith expects to take charge of the office in about ten days. The salary of the An niston postmaster was raised on the 1st of July from $2,4oO to $2,6OO a year. The new appointee was assistant postmaster under G. B. Randolph in 1SS9-1S93.
