The West Scranton postoflice has, in
the short time 1t has been opened,
proven to be a much needed addition
to this busy section of the city, and
it might surprise many to learn that
nearly $1,000 worth of business was
transacted at the office during the
month of August.
At the present there are six carriers
in the Office one superintendent, and
one clerk, and there has been such an
increase in the volume of business that
another carrier will be added on Oc-
tobcr /. Five mails are received and
five sent out every day, as follows:
RcCCived-G.5Q. lilo a. m, 2, 4.50 and I
y. M: sent out-S30, 11.30 a. m, /, 4,30
and 40 p. m. There is also an addi-
tional collection by the night carrier
along Main avenue between and 3
p. m.
one of the many advantages afford
ed through the Office is that money
orders drawn on the central city Of
flee will be cashed at the branch office
when the order is properly certified
to and the holder has been identified.
A number of private boxes have been
rented, which adds to the revenue Of
the office. The location is at 1110
Jackson street, which is convenient
for residents in every section of West
Scranton.

The Strike Situation.

The strike situation is the allah
sorbing topic of conversation and ar
gument on the streets of the borough
from early morning to very late last
night. Groups of men could be seen
at the various corners, earnestly dis
cusslng the strike and the coming situ-
alton. The advice of Organizer Fred
Dilcher to the men to keep away from
the mines and the saloons, in the event
of a general shutdown, was COM
mented on extensively.
BY so doing the men realize that
breaches of the peace will be avoided.

WILD TALK.

White men of North Carolina shou' !
not let it slip their memories that Hol-
ton said the negroes would fight with
weapons against the amendment. Re-
member hat the Sampson county
Bombastes Furioso, Butler the traitor,
called loudly in a public speech for
blood, and appealed to the black radi-
Gals to join him and his crowd in
whipping all white democrats out of
the state. Then that fast and furious
black radical specimen, one Spencer
Blackburn, as good as told the demo-
Gratis that they were to be b~utchered.
His words were, North Carolina DEM
ocrats may take warning from the
fate OF William Goebel," the demo
cratic governor of Kentucky who was
so foully assassinated by radical jay
hawks and murderers. The Charlotte
Observer said of the very wild talk of
the greedy, ~ravenous radical leaders:
About six weeks ago a prominent
North Carolina republican, visiting in
Washington declared in conversation
that rather than see the amendment
carried the republicans would strew
the state with corpSes. . 1t is to
be added, however, hat this republi-
can who talked so wildly in Washing
ton was a little drinky, and then what
he said can be taken for whatever the
reader thinks it is worth. But all this
kind OF talk is dangerous and trouble
may easily come OF 1t, and Chairman

relative to the amendment and then

amendment and for Mr.. Aycock, does

and iies of the gang fighting the amend
ment. They started a lie about what
Mr.. Charles Aycock said at Snow Hill
when he spoke there months ago. Mr..
Aycock in an open letter contradicted
the lie. That is enough But five well
known gentlemen Of Snow Hill publish
a confirmatory letter In which they sus-
tain Mr.. Aycock- We copy as follows:
Having been present al the delivery
Of that speech and heard the same from
its opening to its conclusion, We are
prepared TO say n do unhesitatingly
assert that the statements made by Mr..
Aycock in his said letter, both as TO
what he did not say, and as to what he
did say on that occasion, accord per-
fectly with III recollection of the facts.
We are certain that his letter, in sense
and substance. quotes correctly his Ian
guage as used on said occasion in re-
gard to the matter to which h letter
refers. We further declare that Mr.
Mr.. Aycock did not, in any part of his
speech, say: We have ruled by force.

excuse left for any one with a thimble
fuu of brains failing to precisely un-
.derstand what the amendment pro-
posed really is, what it aims to accom-
1ish. how it seeks to accomplish and
what is the true end sought. Our able
townsman, Mr.. Rountree, is out in an
article on the changes in the amend
ment recently made which will be
found ON another page. Later we snail

speech in the legislature OF last year
in which he to a great extent SNAPPED
the tenor of discussion and impressed
its importance upon the legislature.

HOME FOLKS.

Mr.. c. B.. Aycock spoke to thousands
of greatly interested hearers at Lexing-
ton on last Saturday. The whole crowd
declared they would vote for the
amendment. The Messenger regrets to
see it mentioned in the Charlotte OBJ
servers staff report tina Mr.. Aycock
became faint and was forced to stop
for awhile. 1t adds editorially that he
lis over-worked, day and night speak
ing being too much for him. This is a
pointer for the campaign managers.
Though of splendid physique and great
power of endurance. it is possible to
break even Mr.. Aycock down." He is
not made out of Bismarck's qualities
he applied to w~ar-"blood and iron"
He nus cease to speak so much. He
eannot be well spared by North Caro-
n at this most important crisis in its
history. He is too valuable, too noble
and able to be sacrificed by much
Hold up at once. The
warning has come.
