Label Your Boxes.

Since the rural free delivery SER
vice has been extended so widely
throughout the county it becomes a
matter of general interest to the
travelling public to know who resides
at the various places and who reside
near the road, if off to one side or the
other, as is indicated by the location
of a mail-box along the road.
We suggest to owners of mail
boxes that they have their names
placed on the boxes in plain letters
so that anyone can easily read them
in passing. It will serve to give in
dividuality and distinctiveness to
your farm or your home, and the
stranger passing through will form
a far more favorable opinion of our
county and our people. Try it at
once. Don't fail to put your name
on your mail-box-Oeveland Star.

Unlike many students and critics
of political and social conditions,
Mr. Mcclure has hope and sugges-
tion for the future, seeing in some
measure even in the light of these
depressing facts "what we are going
to do about it," He concludes as
follows:
"There are men, and groups of
men, in every community, who realize
these truths and who are at work,
sometimes winning success like Folk,
of Missouri, sometimes working half
a lifetime with encouragement like
Blankenburgh and others in Phila-
delphia, sometimes making slow and
sure progress-which will be crown
ed with brilliant success-like the
Municipal Voters League in Chi
cago.
"These and thousands of others are
the pioneers of a new Righteousness
which shall become a new passion
the Love of Country. We shall see
that new passion develop in the
American people until we have obedi-
ence to the law, because it is the
law, and the will of the State will
be sufficient And the briber, and
the CRATER, and the traitor who steals
from his neighbors and pollutes the
law, will be unable to endure the
scorn of his fellows"

COTTON GINNED TO NOVEMBER ID.
Reports from AIS Counties Show Con-
siderable Gains in Number of Bales.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The Census
Bureau to-day issued a preliminary
statement Of the quantity of cotton
ginned to November IA, 1904, in ATS
counties for which reports have been
received up to date, showing 1868
active ginneries against 1863 for
the same period and number of coun-
ties in 1908 and 5,SO3,83O running
bales for 1904, against 4,16C, ,1O5 in
1908.
These figures include 141, 81 round
bales for 1904 and 3O7,944 for 1908,
and refer solely to the Ats counties.
The number of counties from which
ginning was reported last season is
912 and the entire number of active
ginneries reported up to November
IA, 1908, was 29,5O6, and the total
cotton ginned 7,O7O,437 running
bales.
Of the Ats counties considered,
fifty-one are in North Carolina. They
report $500 active ginneries prior to
November 18th as compared with
1920 up to the same time a year
ago. The cotton ginned in these
ffty-one North Carolina counties
prior to November 18th, was 44O,156
bales as compared with 334, ,O75 bales
for the same period last year.

421 Bushels of Corn on Ten Acres.

Here is another record on farm
ing: Mr.. NJ M. Cline raised 412 bus
hels of corn on ten acres of upland,
over forty-one bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Cline remarked to the writer
when telling about this crop, "that
if he was a young man, he could make
a fortune farming" Mr. Cline has
demonstrated the fact that fortune
can be made on the farm by an old
man, especially when the farm is
conducted in the right way-New-
ton Enterprise.

The Increase of Lawlessness.

tistics concerning "The Increase of
Lawlessness in the United States"
which must halt the most casual
reader and force reflection. The fig
ures presented, collected for period
of twenty-three years by the Chi
cago Tribune, show that there are at
present four and a half times as
many murders and homicides in pro-
portion to population in the United
States as there we're in 1881. A
number of comments taken from rep
resentative and serious newspapers,
and from the published statements
of judges and citizens, concerning
this rapid and alarming increase Of
laflessness indicate the general i'm
preston of this condition and the
attitude of the better public senti-
ment toward it.
Tabulated statements of the num-
Der and causes of murders and homi-
cides since 1881 reveal much of in
terest and deep significance. The
worst record in this reriod was that
of 1895, in the financial depression
following the panic. Improvement
is shown until 1899, but since that
time the record has gradually grown
worse.
The comment attending this inter-
esting presentation of facts is signed
by Mr.. S. S. Mcclure himself. He
states that he was led to consider
the prevalence of crime by the re-
suits of the Investigations made by
McClure's Magazine. He says: "It
seemed to me incredible that legisla-
tors, mayors, aldermen, policemen
even justices of the peace and some
times police judges-selected by the
methods described in Mr.. Stefens
articles, could fully protect life and
property" He describes the oil
garchy of selfish and criminal inter
ests which control the party organi-
cations and constitute the actual
government in many places, a gov
ernment of private interests opposed
to public interest.
"These men," he says, "bribers of
voters, voters who are bribed, bribers
of aldermen and legislators, and al
dermen and legislators who are
bribed, men who secure control of
law-making bodies and have laws
passed which enable them to steal
from their neighbors, men who have
laws non-enforced and break laws
regulating saloons, gambling houses,
and, in short, all men who pervert
and befoul the sources of law-these
men we have called Enemies of the
Republic
"They are worse-they are enc
mics of the human race. They are
destroyers of people. They are
murderers of a civilization.

mails very different from ordinary
criminals who break laws; these men

Meeting of Rural Letter Carriers As
ISOLATION,

of t. Hall, Red Springs, n. c., Nov
ember "a. The attendance was very
good, nearl y every place in the coun-
ty being represented We also had
three from Bladen County.
The meeting was called to order
by Nice-President McRae,, with open
ing prayer by Mr.. Cromartie. The
program arranged was taken up, be-
ginning with "Good Roads and How
to Work Them" by Mr.. Cromartie
He spoke very forcibly on the man
ner of working the roads, prefering
taxation to any other system. He
also explained how good roads not
only helped the rural mail man, but
the whole country as we'll; that it
should be the pride of the merchant
to make an effort for good roads;
that they would cause him to re-
ceive a great deal more trade from
the country folk.
Mr.. Hayes read a carefully pre-
pared paper on "Care and Atten-
ton of Horses" This is a subject
that touches the carrier more than
anyother. Mr.. Hayes explained to
us that we should treat our horses
next to ourselves as they were nearer
like human than any other animal in
point of intelligence.
Mr.. Floyd then spoke on the ad-
vantages of a mule compared with
a horse for r. F. D. He claims that
the horse has it all and the mule is
nowhere. Mr.. Meares also spoke on
this subject, giving the mule a great
deal of credit; that he was a superior
to the bicycle. which your CORE
spondent must admit to be true. Mr..
Meares very wittily recited in detail
some of his experience with motive
power, all of which was greatly en-
joyed by the 'boys."
"The Benefits of THOROUGH Organi-
zation" was thoroughly discussed by
Mr.. Howard. Beginning at the in
fancy of the organization, he came
down to the present, reciting how
we had overcome every obstacle; and
then he went into the great future
of the organization, and l am sure
his speech voiced the sentiments OF
all those present. Mr.. McRae fol-
lowed Mr.. Howard on the same sub
iect, though on a different line. He
said, in part, that we should be earn
est in our efforts; that we are being
carefully watched, and if it is seen
that we are going to build up the
service, that most assuredly we Will
receive the benefits we desire.
'Why We Should Wear Uniforms"
was discussed at length by Mr.. Will
hanson. We all voiced his sentiments
and 7 feel sure that by the time OF
our next meeting the majority of the
carriers of our county will wear the
"gray."
The meeting then adjourned for
dinner. The local committee had ar

their essay at "pernicious activity
1t is evident that Russia has not exer-
cised extraordinary care to prevent an
open rupture with England. It is a
well known fact that Englishmen who
for any cause have had occasion to Wis
it the Russian empire since the break
ing out of hostilities have met with
scant courtesy. The court of ST. Pc
tersburg is the most ceremonious In
the world, but every Englishman within
its influence has been made to feel that
he is persona non grata.
Russia cannot persuade the world
that she is anxious to cross swords
with England in legitimate fashion.
If she should force a quarrel her mo-
tive would be patent to the most unso-
phistfcated. Even though the car
might transport. a, fair proportion of
the unnumbered millions that swarm
the Slavic plain" to "Albion's perfidious
shore" he could not land one of them.
The prudent islanders have looked out
for such an emergency. 1t is possiblel
that a venturesome Russian cruiser
might creep along the coast and startle
some little hamlet perched on a chalk
cliff by firing a rocket or a hand gren-
ade. but before a flotiIla of warships
could come within firing distance of
British soil it must have met and van
pushed such a naval force as Russia
does not command. Re-enforced by all
the available sea armament of her
financial ally across the channel, Rus
STA would indeed be able to make a toll
cradle showing, but there is little prob
ability that Gallo friendship will be put
to such a test. The French have an
abiding respect for the British coast
defense system, a respect which Is the
outcome of close observation and an
exact knowledge of the difficulty which
would face any power DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning foothold in that well guarded
country. Russia must remember, how
ever, that there is a limit to neutral
endurance. The time is at hand when
her maladroitness will require a more
material conformation than can be made
by apology.
CLAIMING A. BARLOW.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-11-24

Russia has suffered since the beginning
of the campaign it has been openly
limited in certain quarters that she is
on the lookout for some means less I'M
dignif1ed than absolute surrender to put
an end to her dilemma. One way of ac-
complishing this would be to assume
increased bravado and become involved
in war with other powers. The ig-
nominy of being overcome by Japan
would be crushing blow to a nation
which has been accorded the suprem-
acy in resources by all the powers and
has boosted of it's record of perpetual
victory. 1t would be vastly less hunil-
iating and scarcely less expensive in
the end to preserve the appearance of a
great power beset by a combination of
foes. The national pride would suffer,
but it would not be extinguished and
would in time recover. Even the ma
tional credit would be saved from
shipwreck. There would always re-
main the possibility that in the final
adjustment diplomacy might step in
and secure some of the benefits that
war could not obtain. Events have
made it manifest that Russia is more
fortunate in diplomacy than in war.
Having lost her reputation as fight
ing nation, she might possibly retain
her prestige in the diplomatic world.
Even at the early period of the pas
sage-of- the-Dardanelles incident it was
suggested by competent authority that
the experiment was to be tried. Some
of those who took this view of the mat
ter are still firm in the conviction that
the st. Petersburg government meant
nothing less than a quarrel with Eng
land. but was frightened off by the i'm
mediate complications which super
vened, and that the subsequent over
hauling of German vessel was a SUBJ
terfuge to divert attention from the
original intention. Although the epf-
sode resulted only in smoke and passed
quickly out of the public mind, there is
no popular explanation of the conduct
of Russia in the matter. There is not
even a record that the officious and ul-
ira patriotic shippers of the so called
volunteer" ships were reprimanded for

likely to precipitate Russia into a quar-
rel with her European neighbors. Hav
ing escaped the consequences of that
blunder, 1t was only reasonable to sup
pose that a nation so deeply involved in
a struggle which was demanding its
closest attention would steer clear of
any fresh complication which could be
avoided. For that reason and for many
others the news of the North sea ex-
plot of the Baltic fleet came like
thunderboIt in a clear sky.
1t is known to all civilized mankind
that Russia has no reason to regard
Great Britain with tenderness. From
the first hint Of impending trouble in
the east the English have been out
spoken in their sympathy for Japan and
their criticism of Russia. 1t is much
more than suspected at st. Petersburg
that their agile foes have been assisted
in their operations against the MuSco-
vites by agencies more tangible than
sympathy. Be this true or not, the fact
remains that England is more hated in
Russian diplomatic circles than is Japan.
1t is inevitable that the bad blood which
for SO long a period has been clogging
the amicable circulation between these
two great powers should sooner or later
breed mischief
This mutual dislike is not of recent
origin; il was born of diStrust and ma
tional greed for more territory 1t be-
gan when Russia first permitted her
desire to extend her boundary eastward
to become public. Every step that Rus
STA made to lessen the distance between
that empire and British Asia has acted
as fresh irritant. Russian success in
her diplomatic intercourse with China
has been a source of constant menace
to British influence on the east Asian
littoral. and every concession obtained
