NOTE AND SoIaMENT.
Altogether there wsre probably as
many as five thousand bales Of cotton
| represented at the mass meeting In the
court house YESTERDAY.
The attorneys for Mrs. Dorothy H.
B1ckman have aeqtiesced TO Judge
Watts's order reducing the amount Of
the verdict obtained N her SUIT against
the Southern from $4,000 to $4,000.
The presumption is that the Judgment,
as 1t now stands, will be paid without
further litigation. "a

per1enced management, with its ma
chinery bought. al the lowest possible
figure, with strong probability OF
being able to buy raw material at less
than cost OF production, with no debts.

capital stock, II Is dlfficult to conceive

unreasonable to expect the stock to

prise has been In existence a year. ~

request Of a patron Of the the 'Ye YorRyiIie Rynie
postofice to Miss Moore, the postrnas-
ter last Sunday moning. The patron
seemed to be In doubt as to the GUS
tom IN such matters, Miss Moore's re-
ply will be information to many peo-
pie. II was like this. IF II were a
matter Of discretion only, sir, would.
OF course, be glad tc accommodate
you; but II Is not matter of discre-
ton with me. It is your right to buy
postage whenever this window is open
for the delivery Of mail, whether on
Sunday or any other day. We have
discretion IN the paying and selling Of
money orders, and would not like to
transact business OF this kind on
but when II comes to selling postage
the regulations require that patrons
be served with what they want ~
Il is fact not generally understood:
but q fact nevertheless that snewspa.
per publishers cannot send their pa
pers regularly to people other than
bona fide subscribers except IN violal
tion OF the postal laws. The postal
Jaws allow sample copies to be sent
at second-class rates OF postage, pro-
vided these copies are 70 masked, and
they do not exceed In number the
number OF papers sent 10 regular bona
fde subscribers. Where apublisler
sends his paper I'd o subscriber who
has not specifically authorized him to

Usher is liable to Forfeit his rights TO

publishers through ignorance no doubt.
are In the habit Of proclaiming that
the individual who takes newspaper
from the postofice thus assumes the
liability OF having to pay for II. SO
far Is this from the truth that n fs
the publisher, instead Of the recipient
Of the payer who h1curs liability.
About plight or ten candidates have
been entered In the contest for THE
ENoUIREH's gold watch up to thfg
time" said Superintendent OF Educa-
ton Carroll to the repoScer last Satur-
Fay. II am Of opinion that the con-
test is going to be quite a lively one,
judging from the way II has started
out. But that Is not Surprising. Gold
watches are not picked tp as free gifts,
every day In the yeak. However, I
am prepared to keep ! record Of all
the votes that come. 4 have arranged
to keep the ballots for zach teacher IN

pate any trouble; but 4 any question
