NEW PLAN FOR POSTAL CARDS.
Messages May Be Written on the
Face After AupustI

For years Americans and others have
been sending to the United States from
foreign countries postal cards and pri.
vate mailing cards with messages writ
| ten on the front as well as on the back
of the card, although in this country
this advantage has been denied to the
users of government postal cards. Some
months ago the United States postal
laws and regulations were amended so
as to give that privilege to buyers of
post cards, but the concession was not
made applicable to postal cards.
In order to remedy this inconsistency
and to prevent any further confusion
and annoyance to the public Postmaster
General Meyer has promulgated an
| order. effective August 1, 1897, provid-
ing that the face side of the postal card
may be divided by vertical line placed
approximately one-third of the distance
from the left end of the card: the space
to the left of the line to be used for
message, ETC., and that portion to the
right to be used for the address only.
A thin sheet of paper may be attached
If it completely adheres to the card and
such a paster may bear both writing
and printing. Advertisements. illus
trations or writing may appear on the
back of the card and on the left third
of the front. Postal cards bearing par
ticles OF glass, metal, mica, sand tinsel
or other such substances are declared to
be unavailable except when enclosed in
envelopes with proper stamps affixed,
or when treated in such a manner as
will prevent the objectional materials
from being rubbed off or injuring the
hands OF persons handling the mails.
The contractor at Rumford Falls,
Me-, is putting in new machinery for
the manufacture of postal cards and
the department will furnish plates for
postal cards of a new design conform
ing to the amended regulations.

The report on the county indebt-
edness by the committee consisting
of Supervisors Geo. NJ. Dewey, A. b.
Cook, A. A. Sutterby, B. H. Kings
bury and George Perrigo, seems to
have satisfied the people throughout
the county and a change of senti-
ment favoring the payment OF the
outstanding notes is the result.
In fact there never was any ques-
ton about the vast majority of the
county taxpayers desiring to pay all
honest indebtedness, they .simply
wanter to know, that which they
have a perfect right to know, the
true state OF the county's finances.
The personnel Of the committee is one
to inspire confidence, being men who
of the court house, and some having
taken an active part in righting ex-
listing wrongs in county legislation.
1t required but little effort on che
part of the committee to give the
people that which they had so long
sought, a bill of particulars. Among
other things the fact was disclosed
that $58,376.09 of the county indebt-
existed January 1, 1908, and conse-
quently had nothing to do with the
courthouse, but was the accumula-
ton of county debts under various
funds to pay the running expenses
of the county Very few, if any, of
taxpayers were acquainted with
above facts, and it is gratifying to
note the change of sentiment over
the county, the general feeling being
that the committees report should
ge accepted, and our debts paid.

Negroes Who Own 1000 Acres o
Land.

L
Ray Stannard Baker reports in the
August American Magazine that he has
found Southern Negroes who are rich,
He says:
Despite the fact that much is heard
on one hand of the lazy and worthless
Negro, and on the other of the land
lord who holds his Negroes in practical
slavery-it is significant that many
Negroes are able to get ahead. In Pu-
laski County, Georgia, there are Ne
groes who own as high as 1000 acres
OF land. Ben Gordon is one of them,
his brother Charles has 500 acres, John
Nelson has 400 acres worth $50 an acre,
the Miller family has 1000 acres. Jan
uary Lawson, another of Mr.. Browns
former tenants, has 500 acres; Jack
Daniel 200 acres, Tom Whelan 600 acres.
A mulatto merchant in Hawkinsville,
whose creditable store l visited, also
owns his plantation in the country and
rents it to Negro tenants on the same
system employed by the white land
owners. Indeed, few Negroes in the
South are coming to be not inconsider-
able landlords, and have many tenants.
"Hawkinsville also has a Negro
blacksmith, Negro BARRIERS and Negro
builders-and like the white man. the
Negro also develops his own financial
sharks. One educated colored man in
Hawkinsville is note shaver he
stands for other Negroes and signs
