A Honey Year.

This seems to be a good honey
year. There Is Il post oak tree on
Mrs. l.. NJ, Young's farm, on Pee
Dee, that is very rich in honey dew,
The leaves glisten and are sticky
and the bees were just roaring among
the leaves. Peas, under the tree,
were sticky. Even the ground was
perceptibly covered with sticky sub
stance. Mrs. Louis McCutcher
sent us some delicious white clover
honey. The people on the Ridge
have SO much white clover and they
could make an immense amount oI
the best honey II they would onls
keep bees. Let's have more honey
1t is healthful and cheap fooi.-

In the penitentinry. He has been
there eight or ten years and is said
to have been an exemplary prisoner.
Ii paroled, he says If he ever takes
another drink of whisky, which was
the exciting cause of the trouble for
which he was sent up, he Is willing
to be sent back aud stay. He was
well to do, but was broken up by the
expenses of his trial, and his wife,
who Is an excellent woman, Is In
destitute circumstances and needs
the help he can be to her. We have
been told that he has tried to do
what he could for her, by sending
her every dollar he has been able to
earn In prison in odd ways, and the
punishment intended for him IL
practically being borne by her and
his children, all OF them worthy go.

the Prosecuting Attorney who con
Quoted the States case against hin
and the members of the jury who

his parole. 1t is II parole and no

The big task of organizing a federal
reserve board and creating the vast
system of regional banks Will then be-
gin.
With the defeat of the last of the
Hitchcock amendments. which is eX-
pccted early tomorrow, affirmative
work on the currency bill will begin at
once. The amendments comprised the
essential features Of the measure
drafted by Senator Hitchcock aud the
five members OF the senate banking
committee. With these out of the way

to utilize the services of rural carriers
for the delivery Of mails in small towns.
On that phase of the service, the re-
port says:
Gas rural routes emanate from prac
tically all of the places where this vii
lage delivery service would be desired,
the carriers should be used to make
such deliveries as may be desirable and
feasible to the residents of the villages
The compensation of rural carriers,
however, at this time is based on the
length of their routes and TO make them
available for the service indicated their
salaries should be based upon an eight
hour day. With this change these car
riers could be used not only to supple
ment the general delivery service as in
dicatcd, but in many instances in the
delivery of parcel post matter as well,
thus obviating the necessity for addi-
tioual horse hire for the delivery of the
larger packages. The compensation Of
rural carriers should therefore be
changed from a mileage to an eight-hour
basis, and these carriers should be per-
mitted to deliver mail regardless Of the
distance from the postoffice or the
corporate limits Of the city or town" "
