Woodrow Wilson at Williams Grove

''Mr. Roosevelt has proclaimed
himself a convert to the protec-
tive policy-I say convert be-
cause he at one time very frankly
ago we'd a different opinion-and
has said that while he admitted
that, no doubt, some duties were
too high and ought to be lower
ed, on the whole the policy pur-
sued by Republican administra-
tions had been che right one;
and he thought the prize money
which had been received under
that system by the manufacturers
of the country was Legitimate

tsresting one. Prize money is
generally acquired by capture
and not by any process of earn

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER ls, ioi2
WHERE WAS WILSON BORN +?

MHGNL HnO UiLIo'
Was Woodrow Wilson born IN
Augusta county or Cumberland !
Every time that Cumberlan-
der and an Augustan meet now
# is a case of the irresistible
force striking an immovable OBJ
iect. for each obstinately claims
the Master of SeagertAas his fell
low-countyman. In Virginia
the counties are as proud and IN
dependent in the sovereignties as
the States used to be. The White
and Red Roses never had any
thing on Cumberland and Augu-
ia. while Goochland hangs mys-
teriously in the background IN
portentous silence. In the capa-
city of war correspondent, the
head of the Farmville bureau OF
the Appomattox Times-Virgin-
ian writes his paper that 5:
"Staunton is as mad as March
hare at the claim of Cumberland
as being the birthplace OF
Woodrow Wilson. It's amusing
to watch the squirming, and they
will have to squirn, but the fact
remains Cumberland will
not let go Wilson as native. The
Staunton papers have gotten to
be red in the face and sneer1ngly
mention Cumberland as some
where on the map in Central N1r-
ginia.' Cumberland is on
the map and grows more hay to
the acre than does Augusta and
very much bigger men. A ven
cradle, and no doubt veraclous,
lady of Staunton insists that
Woodrow was born there, but
an equally venerable and veraoi-
ouse lady of Farmyille stands
Sponsor for the fact that he first
saw the light of day at High Hill,
the home of the late DR.. W. S.
Morton. The war is on, and
Cumberland will never lower its
flag or abandon any inch OF
ground"
And there you have it, nip and
tucki Cumberland insisting that
the great Virginian was brought
up on her golden fried chicken
and Augusta asserting that he
cut his teeth on her ruby apples.
1t may be that Goochland will
form a Bull Moose movement,
kick the hats of the other two
out of the ring and prove that the
infant feet of the future President
first padded in the purling wa
ter about Boscobel. No son of
old Goochland has ever sat on the
front porch of the White House
and hailed the neighbors going
by, but one may get there vet if
the worst fears oof Cumberland
and Augusta are realized. But
tn. great trinity of claimant
counties must first face a common
foe-North Carolina. The Tar
Heels are doubtless ready to pre-
duce the papers to show that
Woodrow Wilson was a native of
Mecklenburg county, of fake de-
claration fame, and it may take
all that Goochiand, Augusta ard
Cumberland, vi ct arms, can do
to drag the next President away
from the wilds of Charlotte, over
the line and safe into the Old
Dominion again. When that~is
done, let the question be submit
ted to Governor Manns staff
c)lonels, and if the worst comes
to the worst, let them try the
issue by combat, so that Wood
row Wilson with certainty may
go TO Cumberland, Augusta and
Goochland, which ever it shall
be, and nurmur endearingly,

The Parcels Post System

The Parcels POSt System
Announcement has been made
by Postmaster-General Hitchcock
that the Post Office Department
will be ready by January 1, 1913,
TO put into effect the parcels post
system rscently authorized by
Congress. This system, which
must be organized within the
next four months, will extend
over more than a million miles
of rural delivery and star routes,
and will cover in its various
ramifcations all sy stems of trans
portation of parcels now utilized
by private express companies.
The details of the parcels post
system will be worked out by
series of committees composed of
officers and experts of the de-
partment. The general execu-
tive committee, appointed few
days ago, consists of Chief In
spector Robert S. Sharp, Super
irtendent John c. Koone, of the
division of salaries and allow
ance; Chief Clerk A. A. Fisher
Of the second assistant postmas-
ter-general's bureau, and Super
intendent George L. Wood. Of
the division of rural mails.
First of all, a classification of
of the articles that can be
accepted for transportation must
be prepared. The law admits to
the mails practically all kinds Of
merchandise that can be safely
transported, including products
of the farm ard garden, as well
as factory products, provided
such articles do not weigh more
than II pounds or exceed y
inches in combined length and
girth.
| The mode of packing must be
carefully prescribed. The pres
ent equipment of the mail ser
vice is not adapted to the car
| rage of such merchandise and,
therefore. new equipment must
be provided. Special means
must be arranged for the car
rage of fragile articles. It is
likely that the parcels will be
carried in hamper baskets, con-
structed like those used in
| England.
| The rates fixed by Congress
are one cent an ounce up to four
ounces. regardless of distance.
For articles weighing one pound,
within the 50-mile zone, 5 cents
| for the first pound and cents
| for each additional pound; in
! f50- mile zone, 5 cents for the
| first pound and 4 cents for each
additional pound; 300-mile zone,
7 cents for first pound and 5 cents
| for each additional pound; and
so on at the rate of increase, UNI
til the rate for over 1900 miles
| is II cents for the first pound and
III cents for each additional
pound.
The Postmaster-General may
make provisions for idemnity, in
surancc, and collection on de.
Livery, with additional charges
for such sevice, and may, with
the consent of the interstate
Commerce Commission after in
vestigation, modify rates, weights
and zone distances, when ex-
perience has demonstrated the
