want a daily mail service they Will
be given It, but 1t will not be forced
upon communities that do not want
1t. Where q daily mail service Is
patroniZed 1t will be continued, but
IL the people do not manifest an In
terest in such a service 1t will be
changed to a tri-weekly or even TO a
weekly service, and II not patroniZed
the delivery service will be dropped
altogether forcing recourse to the
nearest postoffice, to which patrons
will have to send for their mail.
It Is inconceivable how so many
country people in the south should
manifest such little interest In a
daily R. F. D. service, which, by uni
yersal consent among the farmers OF
the east and west, Is considered to
be the most advanced step ever taken
for the betterment Of country life.
These routes have increased to an
extent throughout the New England,
middle and western states that scarce
Ily a farm house in any Of these
states Is now without the advantage
of daily mail service. The propos-
al to discontinue any Of these routes
would be resented more bitterly than
anything that could be suggested.
In the south II Is found that while
invariably the most up to date, pro-
gressive farmers are deeply interest
ed in their r. F. D. service a large
percentage Of the patrons living
along the different routes pay but
little attention to It, and seem to care
very little whether or NOT the service
is discontinued. It Is such indifference
as this that may result In the dis
continuance of a great many south
ern routes, the liberal and progress
sive element paying the penalty for
the lethargy Of the indifferent and
unprogressive citizens living along the
route.
In some cases 1t has been found
that where a route has been estab-
lished upon the showing that there
were as many as 1875 homes to be
served, not more than so of these
homes would patronize the service
after It was established-the other
rs not even manifesting enough in
terest to put up mail boxes. 49,,
In all cases Of this kind routes VIII
be discontinued.
It seems hard to realize that in
this day and generation any family
should be so far behind the times as
not to manifest an interest In daily
mail service when they can get II TOT
nothing. ,.
And vet throughout the south this
remarkable lack Of interest among
many people may result in the dis
continuance Of many mail routes. In
this event people living along these
routes will have nobody to blame put
themselves. for the postoftice depart
ment Is not only willing but anxious
to see the R. F. D. service grow.
1t will not, however, continue routes
| in communities that do not patrohize
the service.

THE twelfth annual general reunion
of the United Confederate veterans
commenced in Richmond yesterday,
and it is estimated that fully 10000 old
soldiers were present, the largest
number gathered on any previous oc-
casion since the war. The meetings
are being held in the horse show
building. The people Of Richmond OF
course, are showing the veterans every
hospitality and attention.

you do yours. You are not expected
to pay until the work Is done, and II
the work Is not up to requirements
you have your remedy in not paying
for more than you have received. 1t
Is as easy to control an agricultural
laborer as 1t is any other kind. All
you have to do Is to treat him proper
ly. If he cannot be controlled by
proper treatment he Is not worth hav-
ing.
THE only thing to Judge Brawley's
decision as l understand it, Is that
you cannot put. a man in jail for vio-
lation of a contract. If you let a. man
leave you owing you money, that is
your own fault. 1t is either a case of
misplaced confidence, lack Of judg-
ment or business ability on your part.

THERE is no doubt about the fact
that the outlook for the growing cot
ton crop is pretty blue. 1t Is bad
enough in the eastern part Of the cot
ton belt: but in the western part 1t
Is a good deal worse. While there Is
a possibility of wonderful outcome, Of
course, still there is little reason to
expect that the yield will not be very
greatly reduced, especially as COM

Marine Captain Tells How to Avoid
 Sea Accidents.

Capt. W. E. Nye. marine superin- tendent of the United States army transport service, who has spent 27 years on the water. registered at the Raleigh yesterday. and for several hours was doing laps in the lobby in an effort to get his land legs back, says the Washington Post.
 '; T have sailed on almost every body of water in the world, said Capt. Nye, "and have never been in an accident, Seven times I have rounded Cape Horn and have been as far north as IS, It is trite for me to say that one is safer on the water than on land, but anyone who has been sea-going as long as I have cannot believe other wise. Some accidents on the water, of course, are unavoidable, as are some on land, but large percentage of the disasters, in my opinion, are due to the employment of incompetent men. It is not to be expected that flrst-class men will long work for the meager wages that are paid by the big steam boat companies and railroad corpora tions. They can make more money elsewhere, and the consequence iG there is continual shifting of the working forces.
 q have made it rule ever since l was first placed in command of ship in times of danger never to trust any one but myself If an accident hap pens then, alone am to blame Of course, I place trust in my officers, but 1t is a captains duty in times of peril to be on the bridge until all danger is past. There have been times when I have spent 72 hours on the bridge without food or sleep. It is to this watchfulness that I attribute in a large measure my success in avoiding accidents In my opinion captain who. through cowardice or neglect, jeopardizes the livessof the passengers on steamboat is as much of crimi- nal as is a murderer

We have never heard why they perpetrate such trick, but we surmise they wish to ,i.fer that th,, receiver IS thick skiIued or else is possessed of quite a few yellow streaks.

CHAPTER VIII.

HiIborough Hall was an old-fashioned
mansion, empowered in evergreens, ap-
preached by winding carriage drive, and
surrounded by parklike lawn. II had
formerly belonged TO a good old country
family, but its last descendant fell upon
evil days. The Hall was put up for sale,
and Constanoe's father. being on the look
out. just then, for a handsome country
residence, at the earnest persuasion of
his wife, bought it.
At O'Clock in the afternoon upon the
day after the ball, Uncle Robert was
enjoying nap in a snug little room upon
the ground floor. which being plainly fur

was here that he took his doze, and read
his newspaper. Presently he was inter
