The Tennessee Turkey Special
Put a Crimp in Thanks
giving Prices.

New York, n. j., Dec. S.-The
Turkey Special from East Tennes-
see literally played smash with the
Thanksgiving prices in the local mark
cts and it has been many years, mark
etmen declare, since the national bird
has been so plentiful and so cheap.
Just about the time poultry dealers
were congratulating themselves upon
the fact that bountiful provision had
been made to supply all the turkeys
desired for the New York trade, a
special train of forty-tive cars, made
up at Morristown, Tenn, and carry
ing something like 100000 gobbling
passengers. arrived at the railroad
terminals in Jersey City.
"Why didn't you sidetrack 'em,''
yelled the turkey dealers, "the city
is already overstocked. Why couldn't
you drop 'em off at Philadelphia, or
some other place where they would
be appreciate. We don't need 'enl
here
But the Turkey Special" had ar.
rived. And another arrived the next
day, and a few more shipments from
other sections for GOOD measure, and
in the meantime prices had hit the
| toboggan.
The average price for turkey last
week was twenty-five cents pound
ranging from twenty cents for ''culIs'
-asort of chit or MISS bird--to thirty
cents for the best, with the medium al
twenty-five. Live turkeys sold az low
as sixteen cents, one cent more pei
pound than the, farmers of Tennesset
and other sections received from deal
ers there.
1t is estimated that the live poultry.
men lost from $1,000 to $4,000 on the
drop in price and from deaths from
confinement and exposure to the cold.
The New York poultry dealer is the
.cnly man hurt in the transactions,
however, for the southern farmers
who raised the birds received good
prices for them, and the turkey
Special certainly did its part toward
lowering the high cost of living, and
afforded New Workers additional cause
for genuine thanksgiving.
More than 100000 turkeys, geese
and ducks were sold in New York on
the day before Thanksgiving. And
added to this were about 600, 900 chick
ems, 100000 rabbits, and $4,000 suck
ling pigs. The total cost of New

George Smith, who for the past
eighteen years, has been hghting the
cause of the people, went down to de-
feat Saturday, but the cause for which
he stood, triumphed, even though he
was sacrificed by the voters for the gold
of those who desired his defe1t.
This is the second defeat suffered by
Mr.. Smith in two years, but it is his
second victory for the people. He was
slaughtered al the polls two years ago
when he stood for . 'nunicipaily own
ed water system, but he forced those
elected to come over TO his platform
and the corporation owns the water
system. He was sacrificed Saturday
in THE rush for the gold which was
offered for votes, but the cause for
which he was tighting--hat rate for
the poor man--triumphed and while
he, himself, was defeated the people
have won through his efforts.
A more dsgraceful election has
never been held here than that Of
Saturday. Ii was sale. 1t is estlmat-
ed that it cost 81 900 to defeat Mr..
Smitn for the office of mayor, an office
which does not pay salary of any
kind. The interest opposed TO Mr..
Smith were the Old Board: Stokely
Bros d Go. Merchants and Planters
Bank; Duncan and Greer; Newport
Mill Co; and the Minis connection.
1t was formable array and one
which should have been able to
accomplish the defeat of any
man or any set of men who opposed it
but even this array was powerless in
the face OF pubic opinion, and 1t had
to call for assistance from the outside,
and Bob Jones, who through long as
sociation with the liquor interests, has
gained control over many voters,
was called to the rescue, aud it was he
who did what The money interests felt
they could not do, override the will
of the people and defeat Smith Even
Mr.. Jones did not relish the job and he
told some of those who were support
ing Mr.. Smith that he would not be
into the fight for q hundred dollars il
he had not been forced TO. 1t was a
strange mixture, pillars OF the church
es figuring and dealing with the
liquor interests to defeat one man, one
man who almost single-handed had to
fight the battle of the people for many
years; one man whose record was above
reproach; one man Of all Of the town S

Test BY the First of the
New Year.
WHAT CAN De MAIIEn
WHAT CAN BE MAILED
Easy to Regulate the Size and
Weight of Packages, But Not
Easy to Determine What Shall
Be Included and What Shall
Be Excluded From the Mails.

Washington ID. {. Dec. 1.-The Par
eel Post created by Act of Congress
Aug. 4, 1912, to begin operation Jan. /,
1913, has awakened great interest all
over the country, especially in rural
districts. Other countries enjoy the
benefits of this cheap and convenient
method of sending small packages:
ana our Government, in treaties agrees
TO deliver parcals sent in this manner
from such countries TO persons in the
United States. There seems no reason,
therefore, why we should not use TIE
system to the advantageof large pro-
portion OF our people. The scheme is
yet only an experiment. but will pro-
badly become valuable institution.
It's success will depend upon the
rates charged in comparison with
those of express companies.
The writer, learned, at the Post Of
flee Department, that while large
part of the office force is busy perfect
ing plans, there are still important de-
tails yet unsettled.
The Act creating The Parcal Post is
briefly as follows:- Fourth class
mail is extended TO include everything
not now included in other classes; pro-
vided the pack ages do not weigh more
than II lbs, nor measure more than ~
inches in length and girth combined,
and further provided they be not of a
shap or character to injure other mail,
or the spoil before deliveryIn reason-
able time. This is practically the
whole bill except as TO rates.
1t is easy to regulate the size and
weight of parcels, but not easy TO de-
eide what may be too perishable for
each distance. or too dangerous TO
other mail. These questions are puz-
zling special commission, which III
conference with Senator Bourne the
author of the billv is now trying to SET
tie such details.
Shall live animals be admitted: and
such things as butter, eggs, milk, live
pigs and whiskey? 1t is the evident
intent of the bill TO proviGe for dressed
poaltry, butter, eggs, and liquors; for
farm and factory products are especI-
ally mentioned. But such articles
must of course be put in safe contain
ers, which may probably be sold like
envelopes.
Dangerous explosives cannot be ac-
cepted, and live pigs and turkeys will
usually be excluded by weight. But
1--we chickens for short hauls may be-
come common part of the postman's s
delivery.
For the purpose of fixing rates,
zones are created, based upon units
that are about 30 miles square. or half
degree of latitude. But for practi-
Cal purposes we may say that the first
zone includes ALI points within 80
miles of the sending office; the second
points between 80 and $50 miles dis
tant; the third 80 to 500; the fourth
800 to 800: the fifth 600 to 1000; the
sixth 1000 to 400; the seventh 400 TO
1900; and the eighth all areas beyond
1900 miles from the sending Office.
The rates proposed are as sfollows:--
