STOP ADVERTISING LETTERS.
Advertising Costs Uncle Sam a Pile
ofMoney Every Year.

The postoffice department has de-
cided to discontinue the practice OF
advertising letters which remain un-
called for at the various Offices
throughout the country.
Hereafter the postmaster will
make out the usual lists OF uncaIled
for mail, but instead CT paying to
have them printed in the newspaper
will merely post them on the walls
Of the Office.
This action is taken as result Of
a period Of Investigations com
menced by first assistant postmast.
err general Hitchcock shortly after
he assumed the duties OF his Office.
Mr.. Hitchcock found that at least
80 per cent OF letters which. bad to
be advertised were never delivered,
usually because the person addressed
had in the meantime removed to
some other place, and that, more
oyer, the cost of advertising was far
in excesss OF the worth OF service to
the government and to the people.
The average cost OF advertising these
letters, which we're subsequently de-
livered, he found to be at least Doc
each, while i'm the larger cities,
where advertising space is more
expensive, the cost frequently runs
as high as 81 letter. Hereafter the
newspapers will have to lose the
revenue from the advertising aud
the public will have to go to the
postof1ice to read the lists of adver-
tised letters. 1t is not altogether
improbable that the practice OF ad-
vertising the time OF arrival and de-
parture Of foreigr mails will also be
discontinued. NJ
The appropriations OF s25, 900 a
year made by congress for this pur-
pose, is said to be inadequate, and
unless larger sum is furnished the
advertisement will be withdrawn
from all papers except those who
carry them free for the accomo-
dation of their readers.

SUPPLY OF LABOR SHORT.
\ Suggestion to the Commissioner of
Labor-One Remedy: Bigger
Family of Boys.

To the Editor: | have been inter-
ested in your discussion of the Chinese
immigrant ton question and quite agree
with you that we should look else
where for our immigrants. Two
races side by side, are more than
enough when various social and po-
ltical complications arise In this
connection it seems to me that our
Commissioner of Labor might address
letters to five hundred or a thousand
representative towns and commune
ties of the State making enquiry as to
labor conditions; whether labor is
pletntifully abundant or deficient as
certain the prevailing prices for the
various kinds of labor, public and
private, common and skilled. The
facts, if properly tabulated. might
throw much light on the whole ques-
ton and aid us in securing the right
kind of immigration.
At this place it is nearly impossible
to get enough farm labor and common
labor at any price. over a large part
of Guilford county, the farmer who
has mot a. large family Of beys has
had to reduce his acreage. while ma
chimes on our roads have had to stand
idle for lack of hands. Farmers in
some sections of the county paid $1.25
a day last summer and could not get
men enough at that
In many places in the State it is not
a. question of price of labor, but of
supply. The State needs more Ia
borers of every kind. Our farmers
could give away half their land to a
good class of immigrants and be richer
than they are A ten acre farm has
been known to support the labor OF
| twenty-five men six months in the
year and then pay the owner hand
some profit. This is an extreme case.
and of course, is impossible here under
existing conditions, but ii illustrates
| my meaning.
Proper immigration is a great
source of wealth, and it is pity that
| the bill creating an immigration de-
fpartment and commissioner failed at
the last session of our Legislature.

pioneer.
This school is in no sense meant TO
be a rival of the State Normal Col
lege or of the University, but pre-
paratory Nschool for both. Mr.. Dough-
erty says that since the establishment
of the school at Boone, which was the
parent to the present State institution
there have been more students sent
from this county to Greensboro and
to Chapel Hill than ever before in
Watauga's history, and that the num-
Der grows each year
There has for many years been in
this village mission school for both
sexes, Skyland Institute, established
by a Northern church and taught al
most wholly by Northern ladies. They
have done their work conscientiously,
working in many ways for the better
ment of homes. Now that the school
is closed because the public schools
are doing the work. this community
feels a sense of loss and we grieve to
bid adieu to Skyland and to its noble
principal, Mrs Dorset. She makes
the world better and happier and her
pupils will teach their children to love
her name.
At Banner Elk in this county. is an
other mission school for girls sup"
ported by the Presbyterian church
with a plant worth about $1,000" al
a faculty of four ladies under the di-
rection Of Rev. Mr.. Tufts.
Still another mission school is in
successful operation at Vale Crucis
on the site made famous in North
Carolina by Bishop Ives end his CO.
laborers. This is an Industrial school
for girls and is supported by the Epis-
copal church. The land, 500 acres.
and buildings are worth 100000. Rev.
Mr.. Hardin is in charge with several
assistants who offer only to teach do
nestle science and the common school
course.
None of these church schools under
take to train teachers. We must look
to the State for that work. When we
can pay competent men and women
to give nine months in the year to the
children we shall need no compulsory
law. A man who pays SO cents q
year school tax and thinks thereby he
has the right to educate a Roose-
veltian family will more gladly send
the whole strenuous flock when he
comes to pay thirty cents instead of
ten cents on the 500 worth of prop
erty.

not complied with the contract and
on this ground demanded the return

the paper will be suspended Temporal

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
in New York June 9Th, AL lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials, it
was decided, beginning with the regu-
lar summer change, Sunday. June
18th, to quicken the speed of the
Twentieth Century Limited" so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead of
twenty hours. the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years, and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
Of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago in 1893. twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had in service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for its distance,
440 miles for fourteen years, having
held the worlds record for that time,
and for three years and $50 days hav-
ing held the worlds record for a
thousand mile train in twenty hours.
The proposed schedule of eighteen
hours is simply the extension of the
time Of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to Chicago, the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo.
On this new schedule. the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p. m. arriving
Grand Central Station, New York,
at $3.50 next morning. and returning.
will leave New York $3.50 p. m, reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. m. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be quickened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York in % hours in
stead Of "a. leaving Chicago $3.50 p.
m, by the Lake Shore and arriving
New York $50 p. m. by the New
York Central.
The Southwestern Limited" train,
No. II. which now leaves Grand Gen.
