POstOffiCe Not an Advertising
Medium.

The Worlds FAIR canceling stamp
that has been used by Postmaster
Baumhotr of st. Louis for some time
and which has advertised the Fair
all over the country will have to
stop its good work. Its $ is
contrary to the postal laws, and
dispatches from Washington state
that Postmaster Baumholf will
probably be requested to a its
use in a few days.
At the time of the Pan-American
Exposition the Buffalo postmaster
secured permission to use Il cancel
ing stamp to advertise the EXPOSE
ton. The idea became popular and
requests came in from all over the
United States asking the privilege
of using such stamp cancelers to
advertise small county fairs and
other exhibitions of minor inn
portance.
Because of this the p%ostotlice de-
partment decided to refuse all such
requests. The postmaster at Charles
ton was not allowed to use such n
~canceling stamp either before or
during the exposition in that city.

Missouri Medals.

Something of what Missouri is in
matter of agriculture may be seen in
the show window at G.. b. Miller
Company's shoe store. The window
is decorated with medals and GER
t~ificates given for various products
at the,Charleston and Buffalo eXposi-
tions, such things as wool, corn, seeds,
apples, mineral, and a dozen others.
There is also a photograph of Liber-
ty Bell; of Missouri's Agriculture
and wool displays, and other inter-
esting things. They were brought
home by j. f. Crumbaugh, and plac-
ed in Mr.. Miller's window for inspec-
ton of the public.

IT is claimed that under the
new registration and election law
of North Carolina fully twenty
five thousand white men have been
disfranchised because of their
failure to pay poll tax by July l,
which is one of the provisions of
the law. The law was intended
to disfranchise the Negro voters
Of the state, but it was thought
that the white voters would pay
the poll tax as they could qualify
otherwise under the provisions Of
the law without let or hinderance,
but this has been a disappoint-
ment to those who gave the assur-
ance that the law would allow
every white man to vote and dis.
franchise nearly every Negro. 1t
is seldom that these measures
which are intended to discriminate
do not prove in the long run OBJ
jectionable in more ways than one
and always prove harmful.-Amer-
lean Baptist.

Negro Servant Wins Estate.

HUNTSVILLE, Mo-, July D.
Grandville Wilson's S24 900 goes to
his old negro servant, to the eX-
clusion of all his relatives.
Wilson, who was II bachelor, died
Dec. %, 1893, leaving Press Oliver
his sole beneficiary. Relatives
sought to break the will on the
ground of duress and undue influ-
ence, but the circuit court, presided
over by Judge John A. Hockaday,
has upheld the Will.

THE BIG FAIR-l902.
Some of the Things You Will
See Here August 5 to s.

We are asked to say to the mer-
chants and business men of Column
bia, that if any wish to offer special
premiums for displays at the Co
lumbia fair they will be permitted
to do so, though no V will be
made for same.
There will be on exhibition a $4,000
quilt, which took the premium ut
the Paris exposition, and is well
worth seeing.
1t is secured by Mr.. J. f.. Crum-
baugh, who will have charge of the
floral hall.
The wool exhibit of Missouri at
the Charleston and Buffalo eXposi-
tions will be on display at the floral
hall and should be seen by every
body.
There will be big, corn, pumpkins,
grass, wheat, vegetables, fruits, and
everything usually eel at an old
fashioned county fair.
Fine stock will abound; fast
horses and pretty woman will make
the old-timers think they are back
in old Kentucky. The fact is you
can't afford to miss the Columbia
fair. The managers assure us it will
be bigger and better than ever.

The Capital of BIackfOOt.

From the Sturgeon Leader.
Harrisburg can boast of more eX-

called for all eX-postmasters from

would have had no use for vol
unteers. r. L.. Beasley has just
been appointed postmaster at this
place. Il. NJ. Davis is removed.
