As stated in the Times Dispatch of

Governor to accept gifts from other

NEW POSTAL RULING.

As if The increased cost of paper,
printing materials, etc, making it
harder for the country newspapers to
exist, were not enough, they have
been hit another lick, this time by
the Postoffice Department.
An order promulgated on Deem
Der fourth denies to publishers the
privilege of sending copies to SUBJ
.ribers as such after a specified time
following the expiration OF date
to which the Subscription has been
paid became a law the first day OF
.Jnnnarv. Hereafter publishers of
weekly newspapers cannot carry sub
scr,t,rrs in arrears more than one
wear: semi-weekles more than nine
mont h.: tri-Weeklies longer than six
months. and dailies longer than
three months. For each violation
the publisher will be fined one cent
for each four ounces. Since the aver
AGE newspaper weighs four ounces
or less, each paper sent to a sub
scriber in arrears for a longer period
than indicated will cost the publish.
ers one cent fine.
In common with other publishers
we do not believe this ruling can be
made to stand if it is contested il
the courts. As long as publisher
pays the required postage the post
office authorities have nothing to dc
with whether the paper is paid for OF
not-that is the publishers business
Provided, of course, it is a legitl
mate, bona fde publication, emit
tied to privileges Of the mails al
the regular rates fixed for such publ
cations. But the ruling has beer
made and that is the law until it Is
changed.

After quoting from n recent speech
of Senator Overman at Charlotte, the

another thing that can be said OF

1t is our opinion that he deserves to
succeed himself as senator and there
is no good reason why he should be
turned down to make a place for ii
strenuous politician who has made II
shrewd and systematic campaign in
his own interest. We believe ii the
people really want a man for GER

In the New York american of Fri

ownership i'm which he views the situa-
ton us i. victory for John S. Will
liams, and says that 1.-The fact. which
now seems certain under the receiv-
ership. of his restoration to power
will give great pleasure to his multi
tude of friends and inspire personal
confidence in the renewal of his con-
structive policies; and again he says
that ''it is likely that the receivership
results in the change Of administra-
ton President John S. Williams will
be received with acclaim by the indus
trial and conservative Interests of the
South, who believe strongly in his
motives and in his capacity to serve
the best interests OF the road and
the sections OF the country through
which it passes. He says Mr.. Will
liams' reinstatement as president
will likely be to inspire confidence
rather than create depression in the
South; that the strongest commercial
men in that section are his friends
and well-wishers.
Immediately after the appointment
of the receivers Mr.. Williams hurried
to New York. A special dispatch

server states that it is supposed that
he has gone there to confer with the
Goulds as to the future policy of the
road, rumor being that he is backed
by that system in the movement to
secure control of the Seaboard. 1t is
further rumOred that one of the
plans is to extend the Seaboard to
Washington SO that it can get into
that city over it's own tracks. These
