lashes. He stood up under his lashes
better than the other men.

seemed to think his one hour in the

both hands were cut.
James Christian, another coloreSl

and suffered intensely. At one time

POSTAL LAWS
Arb EXPLAINED
Assistant AttOrney-General
Of POStOilicO Depart
ment Speaks

Postmaster Hugh c. Browne has re-
ceived the following instructions from
Washington:
Third Assistant ostmaster-GeneTal
Madden has issued some instructions
to postmasters that should be known
by the public generally. The assistant
encouragement for the Postoffice
Department mas adived the department
that the provision Of the law relating 10
writing on fOurth-class matter is gen
orally misunderstood. The assistant
attorney-general says of the law:
1T specifically states that the sender
may write upon the wrapper or cover
of a package of fOurth-class matter, or
upon the tag or label accompanying
the same, the marks of description,
etc. By implication the writing of the
marks Of description, ETC., upon the
matter itself is prohibited.
Under this opinion postmasters are
instructed that If any marks OF de-
scriptiOn relating to fOurth-class mat
ter, as for instance, a photograph al
bum or a blank book. are written on
the article itself. then the rate OF post
age will be thab of first-class matter.
But these marks of description, etc.
can be written on the wrapper or cover
OF tag or label attached to such fourth
class matter. This has not usually
been the practice. but as it has been
officially decided by the law officers Of
the department that such is the re-
quirement Of the law it will have to be
obeyed."
She order is somewhat obscure, and
some Wilmington manufacturers, who
send out large number Of samples by
mail, will make up a number Of Gam
pies as they have heretofore been sent.
These will be forwarded to Washing
ton by Postmaster Browne and a ruling
OF the Postoffice Department on the
subject received. This is considered
the easiest way Of arriving at the real
meaning Of the new order.
