LONDON, Feb. 13-English and
American patrons Of the gambling

the notion that such manifestations of
piety Will insure them a spell of good

ShUGGLE OPIUM

HANDkERcHIEFS IN A SHELL
Petty Traffic of This Kind Not So
Common as Formerly, But Still
Resorted To.

Petty smuggling. the sort that is
practiced by people who have bought
some small articles abroad and want to
bring them home without paying duty,
is now being pretty well stamped cut, -
said a man who was for several years
in the United States customs service on
the Pacific coast.
'0f course. there never was so much
of it in the West as on the Atlantic
coast, but the vigilance of the customs
officials and the severe penalties imposed
on people who have been caught has had
j tendency TO break it up pretty thor
oughly.
AS a general thing the people who
try to smuggle in dutiabfe goods are
now of two classes, the one composed of
professional smusglers, who operate on
large scale, and The other actresses
and wealthy people of a certain sort
who take no par fcular pains to avoid
detection and who enjoy the notoriety
which an escapade of the sort gives
them.
'on the Pacific coast the two things
10 which the operations of snuggIers
are almost entirely confined are opium
and silks. Both have to pay heavy
duties and both are comparatively
easily concealed

The Postal Telegraph Company.

There seems to be great many
who do not understand what the
Postal Telegraph Company is or
what it does in the way of tele-
graph business. The writer of
this has been manager of the Pos
tai Telegraph Office here in Holly
for seven years and during that
time many people have inquired
what kind Of telegrapliing this
company does, and seem much as
tonished to find that kilograms
conld be sent all oyer the country
just the same as from the railroad
stations. Then they want to
know what is the use of two tc!e-
graph companies.
There is the same reason for
two telegraph companies that
there is for two OF any other kind
Of business. Years ago the people
who are at the head of the Post j
Telegraph Company thought they
could make money by sending
teleyrams at less cost to the
sender than was charged bv the
Western Union Telegraph Co..
which then had a monopoly of the
business. Consequently they or.
ganized Il competing company and
it has been competing ever since,
and has proven itself a very lively
competitor.
The result of the Postal Tele-
graph company coming into the
field is e great reduction in rates
and at the same time material
improvement in the service.
Ever since its organization the
Postal company has been gradu.
ally extending its lines and open.
lug new offices until now it reach
es every important CITY in this
country and all foreign countries.
While the rates of the two COM
panies are now the same, the pub
lie should understand that they
are much lower than before the
Postal entered the field for the
business, and much lower than
they would be had the Western
Union no competitor.
T.e Postal Telegraph Company
makes it point to give its custo-
mer5 courteous treatment and the
quickest possible service. a fact
which is appreciated. as is shown
10y its increasing business.
Holly is fortunate in having in
Office of this company established
here, rs it gives the people an OPP
portunity to get their telegraphic
business done quickly, as it should
be done, and as the town and
community grows we hope to see
the business of the Postal Tele-
graph increase accordingly.
