eral order from First Assistant Post

this is an average Of eight hours per

ory. for the reason that the carrier in

compelled TO work more than eight
hours on some days, and be compelled 10
work overtime on other days OF else

lows:

The attorney general for the postotfice
department has decided that the provis-
ion. generally known as the forty-eight

gress making appropriation for the
postoffice department for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1901. is operative only
during the current fiscal year. and can
not be observed after June 80 From
and after July l, next. therefore you
will be governed in the administration
of your free delivery service by the
act approved May "A, 1855. which pro-
vides:
That hereafter eight hours shall
constitute days work for letter car
riers in cities or postal districts con-
nected herewith for which they shall
receive the same pay as is now paid for
a days work of greater number of
hours,
In view of this change in the law,
the instructions OF June %, last, can
not be observed after June 3O 1901, but
| the eight hour law must be strictly ems
forced and you Will so arrange your
| free delivery service as to bring the
time of all carries within the eight
1 hour limit. Under no circumstances
must any carrier be allowed to exceed

impossible for him to complete his
work in eight hours. he will return to
the Office such mail as he Is unable to
deliver.
When carrier finds II necessary to
return mail ON the last trip OF the day
to avoid making overtime, he Will re-
port the fact to the postmaster, superin-
tendent or timekeeper. and note it on

-tion of his failure to complete deliver
les.
The postmaster has authority to
make ouch changes as he deems advis-
able in his schedule and to curtail routes

KANSAS FARMERS COMBINE.

They are Preparing to HandIe the Larx-
ese Wheat Crop In the History Of the
State.
Aoelioe. Kan, Dispatch to n. Y. Post.
The wheat farmers are preparing
for an active contest with the rail-
road and elevator companies in the
handling Of the new crop. There
Is now little doubt but that Kansas
will raise the largest wheat crop In
its history, the large yield of last
year not excepted. The farmers feel
aggrieved at the pri es received at
the elevators last year, and claim
that the railroads owned the princi-
pal elevators and kept the price Of
grain below the market, refusing to
furnish the farmers cars 30 that they
could not not ship their own pro-
duct.
AS a means of retaliation farmers
cooperative grain companies are be-
ing formed in many communities,
prepared TO buy or build elevators
to handle the members grain. In
some instances the membership in
cludes 30 per cent. Of the wheat
growers and insures enough grain to
run the elevator throughout the
season. Other companies are being
formed, and the prospects are for q
general movement that will insure a
more generous treatment Of the
wheat-raisers. The danger of an
infusion Of the old-time alliance
politics Is the chief peril of the new
plans, and this is already making
itself manifest.
The announcement Of the heads
of the millers' and implement-men's
associations a. that Kansas will need
2O,O0O extra hands to harvest the
crop indicates that the farmers have
before them a busy season, and
probably very profitable one.

A High Price for Stamps.

The misprinted new Pan-Ameri
can twocent postage stamps in
which the engine in the center ap
pears Hpside-down are exciting
philatelists in Brooklyn. OF the
defective stamps sheet of hum
dred came to the Brooklyn Office and
they were sold without the defect
being noticed. Their price has since
gone up by leaps and bounds. A
number went for $5 and others for
$40 and SIS. John III. Walsh,
Assistant Superintendent Of the
Board of Education, has Ave Of the
stamps and is reported to have re-
fused $50 apiece for them. This is
probably the highest price yet quot
ed.
Other sheets of the defective
stamps are turning up in different
parts of the country. Stamp dealers
| are not anxious to acquire the new
s'specimens" until their total num-
Der is pretty definitely known, since
their value depends entirely on the
relative scarcity.
The last time an inversion wa.
found on United States stamps wa.
on the revenue issue of twenty-five
years ago. These are now selling
for s25.

LITERARY NOTES.

One of the most remarkable but
least-noticed facts in connection with
the war in the Transvaal is the ex-
treme youth of large part of Gen
eral De Vets army. When hostil-
tiles brake out almost every grown
man enlisted, even the enfeebled,
but the pace has been too rapid for
the venerable burghers. AS they
were killed or incapacitated their
places have gradually been taken by
mere school-children, many only
thirteen or fourteen years of age.
Under the title of "The Youngest
Soldiers in the World" in the June
Cosmopolitan Allen Sangree throws
more light on the makeup and life
of General De Vets commanders
than anything hitherto published.
The naive, simple letter from four
teen-year-Old Deneys Keitz to his
father, the Secretary of State of the
Transvaal Republic, has seldom been
equalled for vital interest by any
carefully written article On the war

Defective Armor Plates

Washington, May 31.-An ex-
animation of the Krupp armor plate,
representing three tons Of armor fol-
the battleship Maine, which failed
to fulfill the requirements in the
official test at the Indian Head prov
ing grounds Wednesday, shows that
the cracks in the plate existed prior
TO the test. The specifications per-
NIT another test, and if this is sue
cessful the government will have
option of testing third plate to
determine whether the group of
armOr represented comes up to the
requirements. Should the second
test prove unsuccessful the entire
group of armor would be rejected.
The official report has not been re-
ceived at the Navy Department and
the decision as to whether there
will be a second test will be reserved
until it has been read by the naval
ordnance officials.

"RubbinG 1t In"

Washington, May 31.-The De-
partment Of Justice is in receipt of
letter from q prisoner at the Fort
Leavenworth penitentiary. This
prisoner says that recently he severe
iy burned his arm. He was COM
PEELED to perform his duties as usual,
however. He did not mind that 80
much, he says, but he looked out of
the window of his shop, out over
the links connected with the prison,
and saw Oberlin NJ. Carter, "who
stole hundreds of thousands of dol
lars" playing golf with the prison
physician and other officials. He
thought that was rubbing it in"
and worthy of complaint.

London, May 31.-On the ami

startled by the receipt of news of
desperate fighting and heavy British
losses within 40 miles of the Gold
Reef City. The battle at Vladfon-
tein, On the Durban-JOhannesburg

ed by the capture of eleven of his
guns by General Babington, six
weeks ago. The garrison of Vlad-

of yeomanry, had 174 men put out
of action. That their assailants
came to close quarters and suffered
heavily is shown by the number of
dead lett on the field. The dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
May 20, Is as follows:
"General Dixon's force at Vlad-
fontein was attacked yester day by
Delarey's forces, and there was
severe fighting. The enemy was
eventually driven off with heavy
loss, leaving Is dead. I regret tina,
our casualties also were severe. The
killed and wounded numbered 174

berlake's way OF doing business in
the court, the things said Of him by
certain papers i'm other towns TO the
contrary notwithstanding. He did
more business for the time he was
here-from Thursday until Wednes-
day-than any judge We have ever
had, and we have heard no criticism
of his rulings and all unbiased men
seem to be satisfied with the disIpO.
sitiun of the dockets. And Chairman
Berry, Of the board Of county com
missioners, says that Judge Timber.
lake has saved Burke county hun.
dreds of dollars, comparing the re
cent terms with that Of some Other
courts held here. No matter wha'
mis- politics, Judge Timberlake is
gentleman, an able lawyer, and W.
like his style of conducting court.

Timberlake came to Morganton. th'
Herald was not prejudiced in his f.
