Fraudulent Use of Mails.
The crusade started by the post

vigor. During the last few months
the principal officers of "a corpora

justified the inclusion under the sec

government at tremendous loss.
In view of the vanishing postal
deficit it is believed that II the mag
azines could be required to pay what
II costs the government to carry

large enough to warrant 1-cent post

Rural Mail Service.
Next ito the heavy loss resulting
from the low postage rate on second
class mail, the principal inroad into
the profits of the postal service Is
that made by the excessive cost of
rural delivery. The large expendit-
ures for rural mail service are far
more justifiable, however, than are
the much heavier payments required
to meet the losses incurred on ac-
count of second-class mail. Millions
of dollars disbursed each year for the
latter purpose are paid out chiefly
for the benefit of a comparatively
small class of publishers, while the
appropriations annually granted TO
maintain and extend the rural deliv-
cry system are expended in the in
terests of a vast population. The adj
vantages of rural delivery are such
Jas 30 warrant its further extension
even at a considerable loss TO the
government. II is believed, how
ever. that without checking the prop
er development of this branch OF the
postal service a material reduction
can be made in the rate OF expense
Incurred. The consolidation during
the year of the star route and rural
delivery systems will undoubtedly
accomplish much in this direction.
Postal Savings system.
The board OF trustees created by
the act of June %. 1910, to control,
supervise and administer the postal
savings system has made substantial
progress in perfecting a plan OF OPP
Grafton.
After a most careful investigation
and numerous conferences with lead
ing bankers tho board unanimously
decided to adopt the plan OF using
certificates OF deposit instead OF
pass books.
In order to make the first trial OF
the new system as comprehensive as
possible under the limited appropria
ton provided by congress a single
pOstoffice in each state and territory
has been selected at which postal
savings deposits will be received
from the LIST OF January next.
The amount Appropriated for the
first year of the system was only
500. 900, and from this sum must be
paid all the expenses OF equipment.

ing OF forms. certificates, bonds, etc.

The recommendation made in the
last annual report of the department
for the Introduction Of a limited par
cel-post service on rural routes Is
earnestly renewed II n believed
that as soon as the postal savings
system is thoroughly organized the
postofice department should be pre-
pared to establish throughout the
country general parcel post. As
the preliminary step IN the develop

that congress will authorize the de-

"All of which," says The
Asheville Citizen, reviewing
Governors Kitchin's action in
the Shemwell case, bears out
The Citizens predictions FREE
quently made in the late guber-
national campaign to the effect
that Mr.. Kitchin did not have
the material necessary to make a
great Governor. We trust that
The Citizens will bethink itself
more rightly of the Governor.
1t can disagree with his course
without conveying reflections
which impress US as quite un-
warranted. Governor Kitch.n,
who knows very much more
about the facts in the Shenwell
case than any of his critics, de-
liberately did an unpopular
thing. A man without the ma
terial necessary to make great
Governor" would almost certain
ly have done the contrary. Gov
ernor Kitchin's step may mol
show greatness. but it most as
'suredly does not show the lack.
These remarks misbecome a
newspaper of The Citizens sort.
While they are uttered in all
sincerity, the partisan feeling
involved is evident enough.
They may have had results and
only bad results, from a Demo-
cratic party standpoint and 9TH
erwlse, but the fundamental OBJ
lection to them is that they are
not true. Charlotte Observer.

which gave him q sentence Of
five months in Jail. he succeeds
in getting the Governor to give
him q sentence of five days.
That may not be a light sentence.
but when the nature Of the crime
is considered it seems light to us.
In Durham to-day we have the
following state of affairs: Five
men were arrested and brought
before the recorder for selling
whiskey. and each were found
guilty. All appealed to the su-
perior court. Four gave bond
and have never been tried in
court and are to-day free except
for the amount Of their bond.
One did not have the price, was
tried in the superior court after
spending four months in Jail.
The court gave him a sentence
of II months on the roads and
next month he will come out
having served IL month for SELL
ing liquor and / month for costs.
Four had the money to employ
lawyers to get their case carried
from court to cuort, andgive bond
for their liberty, while the other
could do neither. If this is not
a csse of where a man with the
price gets out while the other
takes what he can get. we will
admit we are wrong in the as
sertion, or point out many other
cases equal to if not worse.

morning about 11:30 at Roberdel,

Pearl Bruton shot and killed
Oscar Williams after beating him
terribly with a chair. Williams
lived but a few minutes after be-
ing shot,

main street of the village. On
Saturday night an alteration oc-
Cured between him and B. S.
Harris. a resident of the place,
and Bruton used chair on
Harris in return for some foul
names Harris called him. Both
Harris and Williams were drink
ing Saturday night.
Il seems that Bruton mas been
bothered with requests to go to
his store on Sunday and sell
drinks. This morning Oscar
Williams came to Bruton's
house, which is right near the
store. When Bruton came to
the door he said, You come
here to raise a fuss with me at
my house.
DETAILS OF TRAGEDY.
"Oh, no." said Williams. II
just want to see you"
Bruton replied: Cd DIM
you. I'll put your light out, |" and
grabbing a heavy chair broke it
in pieces over his body.
Williams staggered into the
street to get out of the way but
Burton ran into the house, and
came out in a moment with q
Winchester rifle. Williams, see-
ing the gun, begged him not to
shoot and turned and started to
run. Bruton then fred two or
three times and Williams fell
across the street, pierced by two
bullets. One entered his back
and came out through his chest;
the other entered near the hip
and went through and lodged
in the abdomen. The first bull
let vas easily taken out but the
other was not removed. Will
liams was dead in about five min
utes after being shot. His body
was not removed until after the
coroner's inquest, which was
held at 2 o'clock.
Sheriff Hinson and Deputy
Palmer at once arrested Bruton
and placed him In jail. He made
no attempt to escape, and quiet
ly allowed the officers to take
him.
He Is about Is years Of age
and has a young wife and sew

came 10 Roberdel from Moore

and was employed In the mill as

age and had j wife and two chill
