How many OF our readers can tell us
what the stripes on the barber pole
signify? You see the pole with its
stripes and you know there is a bar
ber shop back of the pole, but here the
knowledge OF the average person ceas-
es. In the early days BARRIERS did the
bleeding for the community and sur
geOnS were not as plentiful as now.
The first thing thought necessary,
way down to the time of George
Washing tons death, was that any
patient should be bled. Tap him, and
take few ounces Of blood from him,
no matter how weak he might be.
When Washington was at the last
gasp, the fools bled him. Well, the
red strips on a barber pole mean the
red ribbon baDdageS that BARRIERS
bound over the wounds caused by
bleeding people. That's all. When
they got through with plethoric
man, of full habit and had tapped
him like hard maple tree in Febru-
airy, he was patched up and bandaged
till his arms, legs and trunks looked
like a much -gartered leg.

with the little home, its firesde and
its sacred associations. Patriotism is
idealized in the mother sending her
beloved son to battle for his home, his
ovtd ones and his country, which is
made up of those he loves.
1t is said that marriage is lottery,
and if it be so, it is because people are
mismated. Probably in not few
cases if the couples were chosen and
brought together through the opera
tion OF some wise law the participants
would be as happy as if the matter
were left TO their own choice. Any
now, it would be greatly co the i'm
provement Of society if every man
who passes his thirtieth year were
forced to marry. Any good woman
would do for him"

A measure has been recommended
by select committee of both houses
Of congress that seeks to bride the
public press of the country. The
propositoin has more of Russianism
about it than any other measure ever
before presented to congress. 1t
should be killed at once. Any meas
ure that seeks to censor the press is a
strike at the rights Of the people and
those who lend their aid to it, are di~-
ging their own political graves. The
bill possibly grows out desire to limit
the number of pages of the Sunday
paper" The picture pages Of the
great Sunday dailes are not edifying
and perhaps foster an unhealty Senti-
ment in the minds of the young.
Nevertheless, it is better to bear such
possible ills than to fly to others that
we know not of. An untrammeled
press which opposes fraud and wrong
doing in high places can not be sacri-
feed

This will doubtless be generally
aasought of in spirit of levity, never
sheless, there is a serious phase of our
national life suggested by it. Mar
Eages are growing more infrequent.
The tendency of times exhibits a
amentable cowardice in too many
soaug men in their averSeneSS to as
Saming the vows Of marital life.
Many causes doubtless cOnspire to
sxing about this state of mind in

assign the chief reasons, we wOud say

WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHT AC.
COUNTS.

Those who read the meters an d
make the computations on the bills
due by the patrons OF the water and
electric light plant of the city are un-
doubtedly afflicted with some sort of
mental alteration or quixotic math-
ematics that is painful to the pocket
books of consumers and is not cal Gu
lated to inspire the highest cofidence
in the eXactneSS of the management
Of the water and electric light plant.
The apparent Inconsistencies in the
the bills rendered prompts the cOnclu-
sion that meters amount to little and
that when the monthly accounts are
made up many consumers arc made to
pay what it is thought they VIII bear.
These complaints appear to be increaS-
ing from month to month and the
kicks on January accounts are numer-
Gus indeed. If some water and cleo
trio light bills which we know of are
correct, then we say to - with
meters. The attention of the CITY
authorities is respectfully called to
this matter. These Inconsistencies in
water and electric light bills should
either be explained or removed. The
people demand that something be
done. Will their voice be heard. We
shall wait and see.

INCREASE TAX ON EXPRESS
COMPANIES.

The next State Legislature should
tax the express companies to the linn
it. There is no institution that con-
| tributes less to the upbuilding OF
! city and takes more out of it than
the express companies. The only re-
turn city gets from them is what
their several employees spend for
their existence. And there is not a
package they deliver but what they
charge the limit and mostly excess.
The state legislature which pays it's
respects to the railroads by demanding
2-cent rate, can do more good to their
constituency by regulating the express
charges or taxing them for the county
and State in proportion to their un-
lawful or unjust express charges
Greenville Times.
The editor of this paper has direct
ed attention several times to the out
rageous charges made by express COM
panieS and while the laws of MiSSiS-
Sippi now impose upon them a small
tax, it is wholly inadequate as COM
posed to dividends paid stockholders
and the eXOrbitant charges made by
them for the service rendered. They
are one of the necessary evils of our
latter day civilization, but they never
anything to the communi-
ties in which they do business and
should be made to contribute more
largely to the support of our state
and county government
