ten new DONT'S FOR
ALL YOUNG men
viii Make Them Cleaner and
Better.

Brockton, Mass, December 2S.--Dr.
Albert Marion Hyde, whose Ten
Donts For Women" have been spread
broadcast, celebrated Christmas by
formulating ten "don'ts" for young
men. His product, just as it came
from his typewriter, is as follows:
DO not speak of the old gent and
the old woman Fathers and moth
ers are a necessary evil in the pres
ent system of things. They hav9
spoken respectfully of you when out
siders could not see anything on
which they could hang even a
small compliment.
DO not give all your attention to
the education of the brains on the
outside of your head. Football hair
and a letter ON your jersey are not a
sufficient training for life The young
lfellow who is old fashioned enough to
go to school for study still has a
place in the world
do not invest your nickel in a
glass of beer, then afterward criti-
else the other fellow who has in
vested his nickel In a savings bank.
Beer checks and savings bank ac-
counts as investments are not in the
same class.
DO not put the money of your
tailor and your washwoman in SIS
opera seats and 50 theatre tickets,
They may prefer to spend their earn
ings in some other way
do not measure your job entirely
by the size of the pay envelope and
the length of the vacation. Highway
robbery is an ideal vocation measured
in these ways.
DO not try to get rich quick

living in the country have as much
right to this free rural delivery ser
vice as the people living in the rural
districts of Iowa. and our Congress
men should demand, and keep on de-
manding and raise a row day after
day until this injustice IS ended and
North Carolina is given as many rural
routes in proportion to the popula-
like population. The last census
shows that North Carolina is increas-
ing in rural population while Iowa is
going back III rural population, and
yet Iowa has 1900 more rural de-
livery routes than North Carolina.
They have the same population as
Iowa, but only half as many routes,
There is no reason for it except that
Iowa has a habit of voting the Re-
publican ticket and is given a pull by
the Postoffice Department, while
North Carolina has the habit of Vot-
ing the Democrat ticket and has no
pull
I am glad that Mr.. Small and Others
are holding up Mr.. Hitchcock's record
Of economy and Investigating it and
showing that much OF it comes. not
from economy. but from the denial
Of mail service. Let North Carolina
Congressman press this matter until
they get as many rural routes as
Iowa and until every rural home is
served with daily mail. There is no
better use to which public money can
be put.

Stories of cruelty by captains of oyster

for the express purpose of rounding up

Joseph M. Pope. who was facing the
his side to the Thompson residence. on
the porch of which Thompson was stand
ing. AS the testimony showed that Mr..

Pope started the quarrel which re-
suited in the fight, and that he threat
ened to shoot him and started toward
his gun as if to put the threat into

OF CHARGE Of MURDER
Trial at Rockville for the Kill

Special Correspondence of. The Star.

special correspondence OF. The star.
ROCKVILLE. Nd, December 5, 1911.
At 9:35 o'clock last evening, after hav-
ing been out an hour and fifteen minutes,
the jury in the case Of Archie r. Thomp-
son, who was tried on an indictment
charging him with the murder Of
Joseph NJ Pope, near Laytonsville, the
18th of last September. returned verdict
finding the defendant not guilty. The ver-
dict was not much of surprise, as the
evidence was not clear as to whether John
Pope, son of the dead man, or Thompson
actually fired the fatal shot and In view
of the doubt the feeling was general that
a verdict of acquittal would be returned.
When the jury announced its decision
there was demonstration OF approval by
those in the courtroom and Judge Peter
had to admonish the crowd to desist.
Thompson received the verdict quietly. his
only comment being that it was as he ex-
pected.
Thompson Congratulated.
After shaking hands and thanking each
member of the jury, Thompson and Sis
wife were surrounded by the crowd. and
for several minutes were kept busy shak-
ing hands and acknowledging congratula-
tons. In the courtroom when the verdict
was rendered were Thompson's father,
sister and brother and other relatives. as
were Mrs. Pope. widow of the dead man.
and several of her sons.
1t is not thought that any steps will
be taken to prosecute John Pope for the
death of his father. for such proceed
ing would. 1t is believed. be certain to
result as did the Thompson trial.
The evidence at the trial OF Thompson
showed that both John Pope and Thomp-
son were drunk: that they had fight;
that they both started for their guns
about the same time, and that both fired
at practically the same instant, but the
Testimony was far from clear as to which
one was responsible for the elder Pope
death. It is regarded as certain that
neither intended to harm him.
Probably the most important witness
for the defense was "Fess" Nelson,
