\ few good showers have caused
us to brace up and look pleasant
once more, and Of course this gives
us an inclination to help the poor

Il sounds mighty good to hear
our farmers say "I'm sure good for
a good corn crop" which seems to
be general throughout this portion
Of the county. Cotton is very
backward and the holly bug is
getting in his work as fast as the
squares show up. The general
opinion Is if any cotton is made at
all during the next two months it
will have to be very dry and hot.
Most Of our farmers have diver.
sifed their crops this year, and are
endeavoring to raise more to eat at
home.

The alleged postal frauds are the sem
patIon Of the hour all over the country,
and the probability is that they will be
probed to the bottom and the most
thorough investigation possible made.
1t is charged that Postmaster General
Smith and his associates were guilty
a few years ago Of gross lapses In hon
esty with the government and that
public funds were diverted right and
left to private gain and use.
At the time of the alleged offenses
much was written and said concern
ing them, and the press OF the country
teemed with charges and counter
charges. The affair blew over tempor-
arily but was recently revived by sey-
mour w. Tulloeh. former cashier OF the
Washington postoffice, who was remov-
"a nifins the time OF the alleged frauds.
His arraignment OF former Postmaster
General Smith First Assistant Post

that an investigation could not be
avoided. As Is well known Mr.. Heath

In edition to the communications

ers have made representations at Con-
stantinople which have convinced
Turkey OF the hopelessness OF deriving
any territorial. or pecuniary advantage
from attacking Bulgaria.
Nevertheless danger lies IN the fact
that Turkish and Bulgarian troops are
facing each other on the frontier and In
proximity TO IT, rendering Il more or
less accidental collision possible, which
could easily grow into uncomfortable
dimensions. The situation, therefore, Is
having a depressing effect on the Ger

naturally thought the postohice de-

Many OF these alleged irregularities

In AN endeavor to coerce or menace the

THINGS and do them quickly NOV
right here, Is the only place
where the acts of the department
could be tortured into an irregularlty
and when / am through VIII leave you
to Judge how much dishonesty there
was about ut. The department was
confronted with an entirely new situa-
tion, and there was not q line OF law
to guide us. You understand that the
funds of the department are CLASSIFIED,
some TO be expended In one way, and
some In another, When the necessity
for large expenditures confronted the
acknowledgement he knew, OF course,
the class from which he should draw,
but there were no funds In that class
or department He was therefore, OBJ
liged TO draw funds from other depart
ments, but he did not do il upon his
own responsibility. He laid the propo-
sltlon before Atty. Gen Briggs, Mr..
Tracey, controller Of the treasury and
also the cabinet. They all nctoned
the idea OF drawing funds in this ir-
regular method for they perceived the
necessity of It. There was no time 20
daily II was up TO us to get busy and
get busy quick. The idea that funds
were made away with and apDroprl
ated TO private use is utterly silly as
anyone would know II they were fam
iiar with the voucher method en-
ployed In every department In Wash
ington They would Know how impos-
slble It Is to divert one cent from It's

Mr.. Heath stated that he had re-
