Stock Sales Day.

February, 18th, is Stock Sales
Day here. At that time the Star
Milling Company expect to have on
exhibition on the Payne lot, Main
Street, a rock crusher and pulverizer
in operation. In many sections of the
country these crushers and pulverizers
are to be found. making lime for ag-
ricultural purposes. Several farmers
combine, and placing the machine in
a convenient location, crush limestone
for the entire community, and grind
it into flour. If the cost of the outfit
is not prohibitive, and crushed lime
stone is preferable, there might be a
number of these plants located in this
county where limestone is so plenti-
full. AS between this and the burnt
lime, as made by Mr.. CAMPBELL, OPT
onion differs as to which is best.

Labor Day.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Industrial Home and
School at Greenville, Tenn, (Hols-
tons orphanage) it was decided, that
if the archaeological Building was
ever secured, the funds would have to
be raised by special effort as the pre-
sent income of the institution is barei
y sufficient for its maintenance.
A committee was, therefore, ap-
pointed and authorized to launch a
campaign to be known as Labor Day,
extending throughout the bounds OF
Holston Conference, FEB. being the
time limit for this campaign. 1t is
the purpose of this committee to
reach the pastor of every charge in
our conference, also the presiding
elders and through them the mem
bership at large together with our
missionary organizations.
We ask for one days labor, or it's
equivalent from every friend of or
phan children and make the appeal to
the general public as this institution
is non-sectarian in the scope of its
work.

PARCELS POST
GAINING GROUND
High Rates of Express Com
Forcing the Public to De
mand Some Relief.

The Parcels Post proposition is ex-
citing much interest throughout the
country. AS with all other questions.
1t has its advocates and opponents.
The Parcels Post means, if we under
stand it. that packages of merchan.
disc of all sorts, up to about dozer
pounds weight, perhaps heavier, NAV
be transported through the mails, and
not confined TO express or freight car.
rage, as now, at cheap rate. The
high rates of express companies is
perhaps responsible for this demand
for this new mode of transportation.
1t means. really, the government
going into the express business with
limitations,
The Postmaster General is in favor
of the Parcels Post, and has recon-
mended to Congress a gradual intro
duction of the system, that the deliv-
cry of mail matter be not interferred
with. While there is strong opposi-
ton the impression is equally strong
that the system will be finally estab-
lished throughout the United States.
as it is now in nearly all European
countries.
Opposition to Parcels Post comes
from several sources, all allied inter-
ests. The impression is that the final
working out of the system will be to
the injury of the retail merchant.
and boom the mail order houses. If
The country people can order goods
delivered at their doors alta low rate
of postage, the argument is that they
will buy much more largely from
mail order houses, and the big mer-
chants. to the injury of the small
country merchant. Of course, the
wholesale merchants, all the drum
mers, hotel men and express COM
panies, are opposing the measure. 1t
is claimed, should this measure be
adopted. the large mail order houses
might get together, form a gigantic
trust and with low rates of transpor-
tation, play havoc with the retail
merchants in the small towns and in
the country. On the other hand, the
claim is made, that the establishment
of Parcels Post will greatly benefit
the great army of consumers
people who buy, in that goods can be
ordered and delivered quickly and
cheaply, and that "the greatest good
to the greatest number''-a beantifnl
theory-will become practical fact.
The establishing of Parcels Post
will, indirectly. have salutary effect
upon the road question. The rural
route carriers will have to travel in
strong 2-horse vehicles, as rule,
and this will make it necessary for
Uncle Sam to take hand in building
good roads.
