the past the selling of opium to
China has been source of enor-
nous revenue to England, but
treaties have been made be-
tween the two countries which
call for discontinuance of the
trade in 1917. As a matter of
fact, India is not now selling
opium to China, but England
has a reason for quitting the
nefarious shipment before the
time demanded by the treaty.
Stored in the warehouses of the
great Chinese cities, there are
now twenty thousand chests of
Indian opium and that great
amount must be disposed of and
will bring fifty millions dollars
to England regardless of the fact
that it will still further pollute
the health and morals Of the

The Killing of Conditt.

The killing of Herman Oonditt
in a Nashville brothel, by an in
mate of the place, should carry
with the tragedy lessons of bene-
fit to other young men who be-
long to respectable families and
who hold positions of trust in
the business world. Conditt
was manager of the cutlery de-
partment of the Gray & Dudley
Hardware Company and in al
dition to the fact that he held a
lucrative and honorable position,
was said to be one of the bright
est and most popular young men
in the city. His family is said
to be one of the best-and now
the surviving members are made
to hang their heads in shame by
the loss Of his life in a house of
prostitution and at the hands of
a prostitute. Conditt was but
twenty-five years of age and
might have had before him a
bright future. Many men and
women Of good standing in bust
ness, in the social world and in
the churches, will say that Con-
dit, had he lived. would have
sown his wild oats' and settled
down to a life of eminent re-
spectability-but why should
not the same chance be given

that statistics in more than one

in the majority as frequenters
and patrons Of houses Of shame.

The following report was
made by the Committee on
Resolutions:
The following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the AS
sociation: That in order to be
more punctual ourselves and to
give our patrons better service,
we ask that the patrons help us
by complying with the requests
embodied in this resolution.
We are often delayed by small
inconvenience which could be
easily overcome if the patrons
will cooperate with us. These
small matters. which happen
each day over and over, are
taxing our patience, taking up
our time, which are wholly un.
nessary, we try to bear without
complaint. But since the rural
delivery mail service is no long,
err an infant, its baby clothes
should be laid aside and we feel
that the people Of the county
should take more interest in the
rural service and comply more
fully with the requirements OF
the Postoffice Department by
complying with the following
rules:
/. By erecting the mail box
in a convenient place--to the
carrier as we'll as the patron.
2. By placing the box on an
arm extending from the posi-
high enough to allow the carrier
er's vehicle to pass under it.
8. To paint the post and box
and plainly number the box.
A. To buy all stamps, cards
ETC., in advance Of use.
5. When money is left in the
mail box, let it be the exact
change for we may not be able
to make it.
6. If it is important to see
the carrier, be on the spot wher
he reaches the post. Don't d.
anything to delay the carrier
and do your best toward not let
ting the road become impassa
BILE.
If our patrons will observe
these requests we can be on time
at each box and also be at the
postoffice on time, which is alst
expected Of us.
