Bro. Sam Harper, of the Hazlehurst
Courier, read the riot act to his delin.
quent subscribers last week. After re-
citing the big rise in the price of cot
ton, and the shabby way in which he
has been treated by delinquents who
profited by this rise while reading the
Courier on credit, he tells them that
hereafter no pay, no paper!

A handsome sword was recently I'M
earthed near Port Gibson. 1t has a
handle of pearl, while the hilt, which
represents an eagle. is of brass plated
with silver. The handle is much de
cayed but the blade is in good condi
ton and handsomely engraved. 1t is
conjectured that the sword was lost
by Federal officer soon after the bat
tie of Port Gibson.

Hence it may he truly said that now,
when the tariff issue has brought itself
to life, there is no party contending
for it. But, nevertheless, the struggle
between protection and expansion is to
the death. The one the Republicans
will not, and the other it cannot, aban-
don. To wrest the colonies from Spain
and then make them the spoil "of in
dividual greed" would be worse than "a
mock'-it would be crime upon the
national character and destiny. And
this the American constituents will
not permit.-Ticksbarg Herald.

PROTECTION VS.. EXPANSION.

The Republican party, strive as it
may against the tide, must either abau-
don protecii, or abandon expansion.
The twn y ,licies ar. Incompatible. In
the eudeavur To reconcile individual
greed with national growth the party
is making itself the mock of the world.
IL has apparently assumed response
bilities which it is incapable of right
fully discharging. IL will have a stern
settlement to make when it shall again
appeal to the country for a vote of
confidence. Philadelphia Record.
This is the memorable logic of the ex.
pansiou departure "a truth which the
Republican opportunists are vainly
contending against. Little Porto Rico
is its entering wedge, which is the why
of all the bloody agony and bloody
sweat of the protection disciples.
Were that all. the logic of expansion
would be juggled with, as in the case
of Hawaii. But in the distance looms
the Philippines, and Cuba perhaps,
threatening the whole fabric which
the Democratic party was given the
power to destroy in 1892 and weakly,
or venally spared.

ROSSvILLE FREE DELIVERY.
FULLERroN. 14ra DIsrRIcr, Aug. IS.

FULLERTON, 14TH DISTRICT. Aug. 49, 1900.
Messrs. Editors The extension of free deiv-
cry from Rossville to the Belair road is working
so far splendidly, blessing to every one who
patOniZes it, That official mail carrier of the
United States has to accommodate the people in
every way-selling stamps, postal cards, accep-
ting registered letters and giving money orders.
Fullerton has no money order office
The exit Office where the free delivery starts
must be railroad station, or very close to it..
When, within the next 1000 years. will Fullerton
become railroad station?
This extension of free delivery is no expert
ment of the Post Department at Washington.
On the contrary the Post Department has given
notice on August 18th that the superintendent of
free delivery is very much pleased with this
above extension, etc.
near Fullerton, some time ago could not get any
stamps and postal cards from the postmaster of
Fullerton? Spite-worki That people was com
PEELED to bring complaints against the postmas-

free delivery is a blessing for the people. If a
letter, for instance, will be mailed in Baltimore
city to Rossville between 9 to 10 p. NJ. we have it
here free between and 9 A. NJ. Is that not a
great convenience for the people?
Rossville gets the mail every day, except Sum
day, four times, twice from Baltimore, twice
from New York and Philadelphia. Our present
United States mail carrier, Mr.. j. Gross, from
Rossvile, is receiving many letters for mailing
on his route, not being found in that or that
letters and postal cards will be found in that
mans letter box See, please, last issue of THE
UNION. So much we could find out Mr.. j.
Gross, the mail carrier, has to deliver more let
tiers, etc., to Rossvile on his trip every day than
Fullerton in his two mails every day. And now
Everybody around here should give the free de-
livery at least trial. Il.

Is she who sleeps so calm and fair,
While DER her head the storm clouds roll
AS men weep on without control;
For them is still the stir and strife
That endeth not while there is life.

Where naught is known save peace and rest !;
Ye who remain weep not sad tears
Nor yet bemoan her wasted years,
For she has gone all pure of heart
To bear higher, holier part

THE BALTIMORE San has again commenced
to work its niger bugaboo racket. There
is no newspaper in the United States that does
more in political campaigns to stir up race
prejudice than does this same Baltimore Sun.
Yet it has not been so very long ago that it
was strong in its denunciation of those who
did this thing simply for political effect.

ABOUT THE biggest lot of dough-faces and

assembled this week in Indianapolis, Ind,
calling themselves the Liberty Congress of the

only stock in trade of these malcontents is the
denunciation of President Mckinley and his
administration. Such froth as they emitted
ought to be the means of bringing thousands
of votes to Mckinley.
