er rural routes should persuade their
neighbors who may not have already
done so to put up boxes There is q
wonderful difference in the conven-
ience Of the mail that goes every day
and one that goes only twice or three
times a week.
As we understand 1t no more than
two schools in a county are to be al
$50, 900 appropriated by the state, un-
less some Of the counties fail to COM
ply with the requirements to be fixed
by the state board Of education, in
which event the per county distribu-
tion will be more liberal. The Bethany
High school people, we understand, are
eligible for a part Of the appropria-
ton, and will no doubt take steps to
procure what is coming to them. II
is to be hoped that York county will
not allow any Of her part Of the fund
to go by default.
The postoffiee department at Wash
ington has sent out the following off,
cial order: post cards ornamented
with particles of glass, mica or other
similar substances. liable to injure the
persons of those handling the mails
are hereby excluded from the mails ex-
cept when enclosed in suitable envel-
opes." Closely following the order tc
hold up tinsel post cards comes the
report that the postal authorities are
likely to issue an order limiting al
post cards to one size, and soon the
freak cards will disappear with the
tinsel ones. The styles Of post cards
are so varied that 1t has become a per-
picking problem to know just how to
curb the card business, which has be-
come enormous and is still growing
tinsel cards thousands Of them are
being poured into the dead letter Office
at Washington.
IL looked like too good a joke not
to be reproduced-that Charlotte Obser-
yer fake on the marriage Of Mr.. W. H
McCaw last week; but now that 1t Is
gone out, we feel it only justice to our
readers that they be let into the in
side Of the affair. Mr.. McCaw as thou
sands know, Is one Of the brightest
newspaper correspondents in the state
He is one of the few writer's in this
section who is able to make a good
living for himself as a free lance. and
no man in the state has turned out
during the past few years more real
live, warm copy of the kind that makes
the editors sit up and take notice. Sc
when he got married the other day. II
was not surprising that one Of the
bright. men in the Office Of the Char
lotte Observer, Mr.. McCaw's leading
paper, should be seized with a desire tc
give the popular correspondent an ini-
tiatory roast that would be remem-
bered. 1t is a fact that the pretty
young lady who has just become Mrs
McCaw is as pretty and bright as she Is
sweet and modest She Is the idol OF
her parents and Is credit to the care
full and correct training she has had
There was really no objection on the
part Of the parents to the marriage
except that they thought their daugh-
ter two young, and naturally desired
that the ceremony be postponed. But
the vicious scribe on the Observer did
not care for any Of these facts, how
ever we'll he knew them. He was UP
to laying in on to Mr.. McCaw and to
laying it on in a way that would raise
some smoke. And he did 1t. But al
though we have seen proper to help
the Observers joke along little way
we do not feel warranted in standing
by it any further, and hence this ex-
planation in justice to all concerned.
