FURNITURE MEN TO COMBINE
Gen. Carr Invited to Take the Lead in the
Movement

Especial to the News and Observer0
A number of Southern furniture manu-
facturers have had under consideration
for a long time the formation of a pool
ing association, and have proceeded to
that point that they have invited one of
the most prominent and influential gen.
tlemen in North Carolina to take the
lead in the matter. This gentleman is
Gen. Julian s. Carr. of Durham, N. C.
The Southern Furniture Journal for
September will state that it has reliable
authority that General Carr has con-
scented to undertake the organization of
this association, which is proposed to
embrace the furniture manufacturers in
the South, and that he is now actually
engaged in formulating his plan, and will
submit it at an early date A formal
organization is hoped for in the not dis
tant future. The expectation of the
friends of the pool is to have it in oper-
alton by the first Of next year.
The idea they say is not to have any
thing in the nature of a trust, but to
bring about "a community of interest .
an equalization Of profits and the elimi-
nation Of mad, suicidal and destructive
competition"
General Carr is now. and has been
since its organization. the largest stock
holder in the Durham Furniture Com
pany, and therefore identified with the
furniture business.

Po.tomce. and Addresses.

One Of the rules Of the postottice de-
partment which often proyokes dissat-
1sfaction is that which prohibits post
master or any member Of his family
from giving out the addresses of pa
irons of the Office. A person may be
looking for some one whose address
has been lost or misplaced. What is
more natural than to go to the post
office and ask for the information? But
the postmaster. it he obeys the regula-
tions, will not give it. The government
acts on the theory that it is not its busi-
ness to disclose the whereabouts Of the
patrons of the postoftice. Debtors may
be pursued by importunate creditors;
young women may be subjected to un-
pleasant attentions; hundreds of people
II various reasons, good and bad. may
desire to conceal from somebody their
place OF residence. 1t is not the busi-
ness of the government to expose them
to annoyance.-Youth's Companion.

His first effort should be to increase
the purity and range Of his voice. and
to that end he should, as suggested

NEWSPAPERS NOT so BAD.

A writer in the Worlds Work. who
has studied and analyzed the modern
american newspaper. finds that it is
not quite so bad as it is often reputed
to be. He estimates that 27 per cent
of the space of an average newspaper
is given to business affairs, 28.6 per
cent to personal and social news. III
per cent to politics and governmental
matters. 12.. per cent to intellectual.
religious and scientific fields, and only
143 per cent to the criminal, sensa-
tional and trivial.
The Louisville Post thinks that is
not bad showing. which the most
critical must admit. It is quite the
thing with a large element to affect
lack of interest in newspapers, and to
discredit in advance all they contain.
OF course. this extreme phase of news
paperpheMa is the result of thought
lessness or a lack of information, or,
what is even worse. the absence Of a
desire to be informed.

small portion of the enormous profit;
which are being realized on the va
