A sample instance of. the working
of the law will be found in the fol
lowing regarding shipment of eggs.
A dozen eggs weigh about pound
Where there is lural delivery the farm
er can ship directly to the city con
sumer in packages provided at small
cost for this service. The postage or
a dozen eggs will be cents and
cent additional for each additional
dozen up to eleven pounds, the total
cost of which will be IS cents. If the
farmer is not on rural delivery route
he may still ship to the city by send
ing them to the nearest postoffice. The
rate within the fifty mile zone will
be cents for the first pound and 3
cents for each additional pound up to
the limit. There is a slight Increase
in cost with the increase in distance
The parcels post system should prove
of great benefit to the farmer, the mer-
chant and the consumer, placing them
in closer and more Greet touch. 1t is
claimed that it will work to the great
advantage of the mail order concerns.
This it may do, but the advantage will
not be solely for them. The farmer by
taking advantage, especially the one
on a rural route, can work up small
mHil or 'er trade of his own, if he is
alive enough to his own interests to co
so. The IN rchant can also work to
the same Ell /, ana as they do not seem
to see that the success of the mail or
der house is based on constant and
practical advertising, perhaps some of
them will now wake to the field that
will be throw open to them by the
parcels post system Jan. I, next.
The South Pttsburg Hustler says
that two years from now Tennessee
will have democratic governor, and
that be will be temperance man in
the strictest sense of the word, and
that Governor Hooper will assist in
putting him tuere. This is correct in
one sense, for if Governor Hooper and
his adherents had not put up the fgot
they have for temperance-prohibition.
if you wish to call it so--most any old |
whiskey soak would do for governor.
Hooper ia simply paving the way for
another temperance governor, demo-
GRAFT possibly. However, until the
democrats drop their local option
craze q lot of other democrats are 60
ing to vote independent.
The News is in receipt of many COM
pliments on the large amount of cleo
ton matter handled by it in such a
short time before publication, and al
30 on its display of same. Some also
think that it was special send off on
account of Wilson's election. This is
a mistake While we favored Wilson,
had Taft or Roosevelt succeeded we
would have exerted ourselves equally
to give crsditabls report of such an
important thing as State AMI Nation
al election demanded. The News is a

dates win or loose. We are not of I'll @
kind that turn up their toes when de-

We are in receipt of SINE communi- I
cations regarding the great baseball
in the mountains east of
here. The fact is, some correspond {
epts have been too free in their utter
snces and got the matter in nretty
ba snarl, SO that there is lots of mis-
IN lei standings. Our advice is to let i
il rest where it is, as the season is I
closed anyway. and start fresh next
year, cutting out the Sunday ball feat +
IT, of the game over there, which is G
.learly against state law.
The United States Government is TO
