WAGONS FOR RURAL CARRIER
WILL HAVE TO DISCARD THEIR
BENZINE BUGGTES JAN. 1ST.
Parcels Post Will Become Effective,
and TwO-Horse Wagons VIII Be
Needed to Haul Farm Produce.


Needed to Haul Farm Produce.
Parcels post will be inaugurated
January LIST, 1913, and is expected
to necessarily do away with the use
OF automobiles, motorcycles and
buggieS by the rural carriers. for the
parcels to be transported as mail will
be of such nature that many times
they cannot be loaded on either of
these vehicles. The carriers will
probably be compelled to use two
horse wagons.
The new arrangement will mean
much to the local mechants, who can
then really have a mail order bust
ness at home. Parcels weighing IL
pounds or less can be sent by the
mail man. The rural carrier will
collect parcels arriving for them.
The housewife in the country can
telephone to the store for a dress
pattern, a hat or any of the thous-
and and one things that are needed
in the home and at very small
cost have it sent to her by the car
rier next day. The rates will be
very low, and the use of the parcels
post will become more and more
common. 1t will revolutionize the
express business, and while the ex-
press companies will probably cut
their rates to those of the govern
ment yet to anyone in the country
the parcels post will be of more ben
eft, because of the fact that their
parcels will be delivered to them in
stead of having to come to town for
them.

DUMPED PRINT SHOP IN WE'LL.
Mr.. j. H. Reese, Recently of Dawson.
Victim of Mean Act.


At Jacksonville, up in the mount
aims of North Georgia, they have a
way of doing printing offices that is
not at all conducive to business or
the amiability and appreciation of
editors. A dispatch from there in
Sundays daily papers said:
THE North Georgia Tribune office
was burglarized this morning about
2 O'Clock. Seven cases of type were
taken and dumped into the public

window. There is reward of 500

The interchangeable mileage book regulation re-
quring the exchange of coupons for tickets has been
the subject of criticism Much of such criticism
arises because the facts and conditions are not
generally known.
In order that the public may be correctly informed
the railway companies make the following state
ment, having full faith in the fairness OF public
opinion when the matter is thoroughly understood
An interchangeable mileage book as its name in
dicates may be used for obtaining transportation
over any line party to the interchangeable book ar
rangement The coupons from these books are equiva
lent to cash. and to safeguard their transmission to
the Treasurer of each railroad company the require
ment is made for the exchange of the coupons at
ticket windows for transportation, thus causing the
mileage coupons to be placed in the hand OF bonded
ticket agents who must account to the Auditing De-
partment of each line for their value.
No one will claim that it is unreasonable for rail-
wav companv to require a traveller to purchase
ticket instead of paying the money on the train.
The object of this requirement is to have one man,
the ticket agent handle the money and sell uckets'
either for cash or coupons from an Interchangeable
mileage book and thus make record of what the
Company has sold; another man, the conductor W
collect the tickets, and thus make record OF Their
use and thereby have an additional check against the
agent, who must account for the purchase price
either in cash coupons.
The coupons from interchangeable mileage BOOKS
represent cash. for the that they are the Os
evidence of claim against the railroad selling 'he
mileage book, and the Company accepting sueh cou-
pons for sale of ticket is paid by the road selling me
mileage book only upon presentation of the actual
coupons. This is not always possible where the con-
ductOr lifts the coupons the train because he does
not have the facilities for safeguarding sucn
coupons and should they become lost, the railroad
honoring the mileage book would have no means OF
securing proper compensation for the service per
formed The necessity of preserving each coupon Is
therefore apparent.
Every well organized business concern adopl'
regulations to insure the safety of its cash.

IS men DIE
IN COAL Mine
Others Escape From Flood After
Narrowing Experience.
MOST or VICTIMS MARRIED.
The Men Were Drowned 1000 Feet
From the Mouth OF the Mine,
Their Only Avenue OF
Escape.

Uniontown, Pa. Caught like rats in
a trap when, water rushed into the
manway OF Snperba No. 2 Mines. at
Evans Station, three miles north Of
Uniontown, following cloudburst, 10
men were drowned and 81 escaped
after most narrowing experience. The
men were drowned about 1000 feet
from the mouth of the mines, their
only avenue Of escape The majority
of the victims were married and had
large families.
The men who escaped were forced
to half swim and half walk to the pit
mouth through water ranging in depth
from their waists to their necks on
their way to safety. The majority of
the miners who escaped were knocked
down by timbers that were sent down
the mine with great velocity in the
raging current. Several men were be
ing carried back into the mine to Ger.
tain death when rescued by their COM
panions who risked their lives.
Officials of the Superba Company
say it will take at least so days to
clear the mine OF water and until that
time bodies must remain in the water
in which they persisted. Superinten-
dent J. Buttermore was the first man
to see the high water start in the
manway. He raised the alarm and all
the men on the outside rushed into
the mine yelling as they went. In
that manner more than half of the
miners were saved.
The wives and families Of the
miners and drivers in the mines when
the alarm was raised rushed to O
large hole made by the rushing water
at the manhole and frantically threw
sticks, stones, bushes, poles and what
ever other timber they could find into
the water to stop the rush into the
mines where their loved ones were
earning their daily bread.
Failing in that they rushed to the
mouth of the pit and would have con-
tinued their mad dash into the water
in the mine had they not been stopped
by ceol-headed persons who guarded
that entrance. The women and chill
dren remained at the mouth of the
slope late tonight refusing to return
home until an attempt had been made
to rescue their husbands and fathers.
Several large pumps viii be placed in
the mine tomorrow and everything
possible will be done to get to the place
where the bodies are certain to be
found
