Halls Drug Store.
The location of Station No. l of the
Wilmington postoffice has been chang
ed from the drug store of James Hall
at Castle and Fifth streets to the store
of ". H. Dyson on Castle street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets. At
the station stamps, and stamp paper
are sold, money orders are issued and
paid and registered letters are received.
When the post Office department decid-
ed to allow the establishment Of branch
Offices or stations in the smaller as we'll
as the marger cities it was a matter
which has been of much benefit to
thousands of people. 1t was very incon-
yeniSnt in old times to have to walk
from the edge of the city to the post
Office for the purpose of getting a stamp
of buying a money order.

1t was learned last night that the SUI
preme court had refused to re-hear the
case of Fishblate VS.. the Fidelity and
Casualty Company. This Ease was
passed upon by the supreme court some
time ago and attorneys for the de-
PENDANT company filed a petition for a
reheariHg and it was refused.
This means that S. II. Fishblate will
get he amount he was given a judg-
ment for in the lower court, viz: s1,670
with interest from the date on which
the claim was filed. The total amount
will be about $4,000. 1t was a suit
brought to on a policy held by
the plaintiff in the above named COM
pany and in which they agreed to pay
a certain amount for the loss of an eye.
The case was a hard fought one in the
lower court and the following were the
attorneys for the plaintiff, Messrs.
John d. Bellamy, William J. Bellamy
and Rountree & Carr and for the de-
PENDANT company, Messrs. Iredell
Neares and Herbert McClammy.

LET CRITICS RAIL.

Though critics carp and croakers yawp
And jaundiced men bemoan,
The land we live in claims our boast,
Its glories are our own;
Our flag that floats on land and main
Is yet without one spot or stain.
Though some are ever finding fault
And some see but dismay,
The strong foundations of our worth
Grow firmer every day;
Though tiny critics peck like DAVIS
They find but petty, little flaws.
Like hateful gnats that swarm and
bite,
A few assail our land,
But if by patriotic breath
Our country's length were famed
These yellow foes who scott and laugh
Would scatter far like useless chat.
AS ants along the mountain side
These critics blindly grope
And think to move with their weak
might
The adamantine slope,
But 10! the rugged monster mocks
The futile fury of such shocks.
For freedom is our corner stone,
On that is built our state,
Nor foes within, nor foes without
May NEEDLE with our fate;
Our destiny is not to fail,
Though traitors Turk and scoffers rail
Will Reed Dunroy.

Punishment That Will Deter.

The French courts, not powerfuliy
swayed by motives of sympathy, have
decreed that Elliott F. Shepard, Jr,
the young American automObilist VINO
killed girl, must really and truly go
to Jail. The utmost concession that
earnest entreaties and even dlpio-
matte representation could secure
was a reduction of the sentence from
three months to six weeks. the
French have laid down rule that any
automobile driver who takes human
life as result of fast or careless drly-
ing cannot escape with the payment
of fine 1t is quite probable that
the infiexible enforcement of the
prison penalty will have a beneficial
effect. The prospect of actual incar-
ceration will take greater hold upon
the minds of reckless drivers than the
apprehension of the merely theoretical
chastisement of fne.-Cleveland

scarcely emitted these words when
she saw to her amazement, the Chi

ball reporters scorebook from be-

to make notes in the proper column
with his tiny gold-trimmed pencil.
And then she heard Sir Cheng observe
to one of the attaches with him:
Pretty punk hit, that, and it ought
really to go for an error, but guess
I'll give it to the boy and let him fat
