Torn Stamps Not Good.

The postotjce department has un-
der preparation small book, to be is
sued to patrons Of the p0Stottices
throughout the country, which will
contain great amount Of information
regarding the business Of the postotfice
which. is not generally known. The
book will be. in a measure, book OF
instruction as to how to transact busi-
ness with the postotfice. One OF the
things to be treated will be the use OF
mutilated stamps on letters. 1t is
not generally known to users OF post
age stamps that torn or defaced
stamp cannot be used. Persons who
have torn stamps in their possession
have been in the habit Of pasting the
two pieces together and thus placing
it on letter. This is prohibited in
the postal regulations, and the person
who uses such a stamp runs the risk
of not having his or her letter deliver
ed. Sometimes the stamps are SO

lection, but should the rent in the
stamp be found by the postal officials
it is of no value. The book will also
contain information regarding the
registry and money order systems.

The Cotton Crop.

The census bureau wednesday
made the first annual statement OF
cotton production under the perman-
ent organization OF that bureau.
The statement is made by William NJ.
Stuat, chief sta tistcian of manufacture
ers. 1t places the cotton production,
exclusive Of linters for the year at
ll,O7S, ,SS2 commercial bales equival-
ent to 1O,630,945 bales 500 pounds
each. The total crop, including lint
ers, was 1925, ,105 commercial bales
or 10, ,627.16s 500-pounds bales. The
difference in the fguers on CONNER.
cial bales and 500-pound bales is due
to the fact that some Of the CONNER
cial bales are round bales, which con-
tain only 255 pounds, or little more
than half the weight Of the square
bales.
The explanation is made that the
figures are the result Of personal visits
on the part of the census office agents
to 32,I753 ginneries. The canvass eS
tended until March 28th, but at that
time there was still unginned email
quantity Of cotton. This is estimated
at tlS4,2 POS commercial bales, 2nd these
are included in the figures given.
The production by states in COM
mercial bales is given as follows:

Record Of Births and Deaths.

The State says the governor has
received a persanal letter from ex-
Governor Merriam, director of the
census, in which it is urged that
South Carolina should aid the nation
al government in the endeavor to keep
correct and complete records of births
and deaths. The mortality statistics
of the government are shamefully in
accurate and the census department
in compliance with a recent act OF
congress has written the governors OF
the States to aid in the effort to get
the data kept properly. The State
board OF health has been working on
this line for some time and the local
boards Of health are said to have act
ed in very reprehensible manner.
The collection Of these statistics may
be of great valuein the years to come.
