COST OF STATE PRINTING.
IT.


The department. Of Labor and
Printing recently ascertained the
cost of the public printing for last
year to be $50, 054.65 It was a
big undertaking to get the figures
together, but the facts set forth
make very interesting reading.
Referring to the statement, which
it prints i'll full, the Raleigh News
and Observer says:
San interesting statement. is
made by Assistant Labor Commits
sioner NJ. l.. Shipman, showing
the amount expended by the State
for the execution of its public
printing during the year 1907. It
is the most comprehensive review
of this important item of expense
ever given to the public and will
be read with keen interest by the
people throughout North Carolina.
Nineteen hundred and seven being
a Legislative year." the cost of
the printing is necessarily much
in excess of the expense for this
purpose during an "off-year." A
separate account is kept with each
department of the State Govern
ment and the statement has been
itemized accordingly"
Each department. is charged
with the amount it expended for
the purpose stated, VIZ: A and M.

The statement shows, in detail,
the actual amount expended for
the execution of each item of
printing, composition, press
work, ruling, binding, stitching
and trimming, sheeting and in
sorting, perforating, numbering,
padding, folding, wrapping chang
ing forms and folios, cost of cuts,
corrections, etc. In view of the
fact that North Carolina is getting
better printing at a more reason
able price than most any other
state, it will be readily seer that
she is moving forward, with rapid
strides, along every line of indus
trial development. The printing
is awarded, b~i-annually, to the
lowest responsible bidder, whose
accounts r audited and-approved
by the Department of Labor and
Printing.

SOMETHING NEW UNpER THE
SUI N.

publishers shall do with delinquent
subscribers has been finally settled
The Postmaster General recently
issued 60 editors "Order No. 9O7,
containing amendments to the
postal laws ana regulations ap-
pllcative to second-class matter,
effective january 1, 1908.
Under che new regulations a
newspaper is held to be a "publi-
cation regularly issued at stated
intervals of not longer than one
week and having the character of
second-class matter prescribed by
statute" and a periodical is "a
publication regularly issued at
stated intervals less frequently
than weekly and having the char
ter of second=elas matter prescrib-
ed by statute"
Concerning subscriptions the
rules are very strict. The section
relating thereto reads as follows:
"a reasonable time will be al
lowed publishers to secure renew
ais of Subscriptions, but unless
subscriptions are expressly renew
ed after the term for which they
are paid, within the following pc
RODS:
Dailies within three months ;
tri-weekies, within three months;
semi-weeklies, within nine months;
weeklies, within one year; semi
~monthlies, within three months
m~onthlies, within four months
bi-monthlies, within six months
quarterlies, within six months,
they shall not be counted in the
legitimate list of subscribers, and
copies mailed on account thereof
shall not be accepted for mailing
at second-class postage rate of one
cent a pound, but may be mailed
at the transient second-class post
age rate of one cent for each four
ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid
by stamps affixed. The right of q
publisher to extend credit for sub
scriptions to his publication is not
denied orquestioned, but his COM
pliance or noncompliance with
this regulation will BIZ taken into
consideration in determining
whether the publication is entitled
TO transmission at the second-class
postage rates." ).
The section governing the mail
ing of sample copies limits the
number to be sent out under the
one-cent-a-pound rate to 10 per
cent. of the total weight of copies
mailed to subscribers during the
year.
This means that subscribers to
newspapers must, at all times,
have a credit opposite their names
on the books of the editor, for the
names of those who fail to pay up
promptly will, necessarily, have
to be stricken from the list, as no
publisher can afford to pay a cent
on each paper sent out to every
delinquent subscriber once a week,
much less for three hundred and
thirteen days in a year. Publish
ers have 10 discretion in the mat
Ter, as the postmasters are requir-
ed to see that the law is enforced.
The new rule must be obeyed and
it looks like prompt payment of
subscriptions is the only remedy
in sight.
Through the influence of Hon.
Il. B. Warner, president of the
National Editorial Association,
which represents about eighteen
thousand publications, the post
Office department has consented
to suspend the new order until
April 1, 1908, and issued instruct
iona TO postmastere accordingly.

K. F. ID. Routes in Lancas-
ter County--Danger of
Service Being Suspended
On Account of Bad Roads.

VI Account OF Bad Roads,
AS noted in Saturdays issue
OF The News, Postoffice Inspec-
tor Smith, whose headquarters is
in Charleston, spent several days
here and In the county the past
week. He travelled over a number
of the rural mail routes in Lam
caster and found the public roads
anything but satisfactory. In
conversation we had with him
Saturday Mr.. Smith said that
unless a marked Improvement
Is soon made in Lancashire high
ways the government will be
obliged to suspend service on
some of the mail routes. In
fact, service was suspended Fri
day on a portion of one of the
routes in the Heath Springs sec
ton. Similar action is liable to be
taken at any time as to other
routes in the county. "The peo-
pie must get busy and work the
roads if they expect the govern
ment to continue the present
mail SERVICE" said MIR. Smith.
The operation of the routes in
Lancaster county is costing
the government twenty thous-
and dollars year, and for the
annual expenditure of so large
sum the people are expected
to evidence their appreciation
by keeping the roads traversed
by the carriers in at least pass
able condition.
From what Inspector Smith
said a number of the rural routes
are evidently in peril. The peo-
pie cannot afford now to give up
their present convenient mail
service, but how are the roads
10 be worked?-that's the
question. Under the new road
law the county authorities
are probably making as much
progress as is practicable, but
from the very nature OF the new
order of things it doesn't seem
possible to sufficiently expedite
the work to meet the require
ments of the national govern
ment. Practical road build.
ing under the new system
was not begun until last July,
and it will not be possible In one
or TWO years to work all the
roads In the county by contract.
What, then, is to be done? AS
suggested some time ago, the
county authorities might make
arrangements to have the worst
portions of the roads temporari-
ly repaired, holes filled, ETC.,
making them passable until the
contractors can reach them. Or,
such temporary work might be
done by each landowner on so
much OF the road as runs along
his place Something at least,
will have to be done, according
to Inspector Smith, if the peo-
pie expect to retain the existing
mail service.
