SOUVENIR POSTAL CARDS.
Ignorance of Public Regarding the
Sending of Them.

Ignorance of Public Regarding the
Sending of Them.
G. g. Long, postmaster at East Bluehill,
sends THE AMERICAN the following
article regarding the mailing of souvenir
postal cards, which will be of interest to
many in this time of postal card craze:
A law was enacted by Congress few
years ago, which provided that cards of
the same size and weight as the ordinary
postal cards might be sent through the
mails as ordinary postal cards, provided
one cent stamp was affixed.
Many of the printed cards sold as SOU
venir postal cards do not meet these re-
quirements. Many of them are larger
and thicker than the ordinary postal cards.
Some are made of leather, wood and other
material. All of these cards are mailable
as merchandise at the rate of one cent an
ounce, but if anything is written upon
them Except the address) they require
letter postage, which is two cents an
| ounce.
If everyone were acquainted with these
facts, and would conform to them, much
| trouble wo1ld be saved and more souvenirs
would rea h their destination. But the
trouble is chat many people seem to think
that all souvenir cards are postal cards,
affix one cent stamps, and dump them
into the letter boxes and then think it
strange that they do not reach their des-
tination.
The following is copy OF section AS,
page 1S9, "Posta Laws and Regulations"
of 1902:
Private mailing cards (post cards) must con-
form to the following conditions
Zach card must he an unfolded piece of card
board, not exceeding iii liz, fixed by he Con-
vention of the Universal i,sfal union Okla

ing and such as make good citizens of a
community. This narration of settler
upon the Neck is probably defective by
omission and also by lack of information,
but in the main may be relied on for
correctness.
The Neck from it's settlement to 1900,
was a populous and prosperous part of
the town, more so perhaps than at any
section. Its road was called "Royal
Road, why it does not appear, unless the
settlers there prior to the Revolution were
known for loyalty to the British crown.
The settlers upon the Neck, as has been
shown, were mostly from Beverly, Mass,
active and energetic men, devoted
to the interests of their newly acquired
| homes and town, while among them
| fingered pleasing memories of Beverly,
| the town and home of their birth, about
which they must have frequently con-
| together than would have been the case
had they come from different localities.
The Neck has always been considered
one of the best farming sections of the
to IN, and its beauty OF location between
the waters of Blue Hill Bay and the Salt
Pond is unique in situation and unrivaled
in healthfulness and beauty.
AS section for summer visitors and the
erection of summer cottages, it offers the
inducements of fine climate, bold shore
upon the bay, boating, fishing and fine
drives, with adjacent natural scenery ever
charming to the eye of the beholder.
1t is a good thing to take an account OF
the doings OF those who settled and caused
the town to flourish, and to review the
ancient landmarks of their habitations.

Engaged people should remember that,
after marriage, many quarrels can be
avoided by keeping their digestions in
good condition with Electric Bitters. s.
A. Brown, of Bennettsville, s. c., says:
"For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with tor
pid liver, until she lost her strength and
vigor and became mere wreck of her
former self. Then she tried Electric
Bitters, which helped her at once, and
finally made her entirely well. She is now

acceptance to the citizens.
His account book, giving the names of
citizens with whom he had dealings in
connection with his trade, the writer had
the privilege of consulting some years
ago, through the courtesy of Mr.. John

to whom it then belonged. 1t is now in

Mr.. James Carter's sons, James and Da-
vid, were the first to settle upon Long
Island, near what is now known as Car
| ter's Point, going thither from the Neck
prior to 1895. An account of them and of
their families, rightfully belongs to the
| history of Long Island and needs no fur
ther mention here.
| John, son of James Carter, resided upon
his fathers place after his death, and the
record of his family belongs to the Neck,
although at the time of his death and for
some years before, he resided just over the
line in Sedgwick, now Brooklin. He was
man with remarkably retentive men,
DRY for local history and for things he had
read.

He married, lived and died in Orland at a

He wrote some verses upon the death Of

| Mr.. Carter was an advocate of temper
ance in all forms, and was particularly
opposed to the use of tobacco, and wrote
verses to be sung at temperance gather

verse quoted from memory was:

| Which from the devil did proceed

tells the story of the greatest apple
dumping ever made. His home is in
Halifax county, where, prior to 1910,
there was a voting precinct known by
the odd name of dumping Town" In
1910, when William Henry Harrison
was elected president, after most ex-
citing campaign, Dumping Town had
exactly ia voters, and every man of
them cast his ballot for Harrison.
The people of the small but prosper
Gus town of Scotland Neck. in the
county, also showed their appreciation
of the unanimous vote of Dumping
Town by generous and whimsical
gift. Two days and night were con-
sumed in building a big dumping,
which weighed ia pounds. one pound
for each vote cast at Dumping Town.
This monster of dumping was put
in a sack, supported by tripod, and
lowered into an immense iron kettle.
