A certain haunted house down in
Georgia was held in terror by all the ne
groes in the vicinity except Sam, who
brayely declared that for g he would
sleep there all night. A purse was raised
and Sam was told TO carry out his end of
the bargain and to call in the morning for
the money. When morning came no
trace could be found OF Sam; the house
contained nothing but the evidence of a
hurried departure. A search party was
organized, but without result.
Finally, four days later, Sam, covered
with mud came slowly walking down the
road.
"Hi. dere, niggerl" yelled bystander.
where's you been TO- de las fc days 2"
To which Sam curtly responded: "Ah's
been comm back"

improvements to Parcel Post system.

Plans for the extension, Improvement
and reduction in rates OF the parcel post
were announced Saturday by Postmaster
General Burieson. The changes, which
are to become effective on August 10.
include an increase from L pounds to 70
pounds in the maximum weight OF par
GELS, a material reduction in the postage
rates in the first and second zones and
the abandonment Of the parcel post map
as means of computing rates and the
substitution for il of rate chart individu-
allied to every postoffice in the United
States. While for the present the maxi
mum weight limit OF 20 pounds and the
reduction in rates will apply only 10 the
first and second zones from any given
postoffice-a distance of about $50 miles
the changes directed Saturday constitute
the first long step toward universal ex-
tension of the system and a general re-
duction in the rates Of postage on parcel
matter.
"lt is my expectation and belief" said
Postmaster General Burleson, "that
eventually-and it may be IS or 20 years
the postal service will handle practi-
cally all OF the small package transporta-
ton business in the United States. The
maximum weight limit extended now
from / TO 20 pounds expect to see in
creased to 100 pounds, and experience
may demonstrate the practicability of
handling the parcel business at even
lower rates than we now propose.
The change of zone rates is announced
as follows: The first zone shall include
the territory within the local delivery OF
any office and the first zone rate OF post
age will apply TO all parcel post mail de-
posted at any office for local delivery or
for delivery by city carrier or on rural
routes emanating from that postoffice.
The second zone shall include the re-
mainder of what is now the first zone,
together with the present second zone,
and shall include all the units OF area To-
Gated in whole or in part within a radius
of approximately $50 miles from any given
postoffice. The rate Of postage on par
GELS weighing in excess Of four ounces in
the proposed first zone will be reduced
from cents for the first pound and |
cent for each additional pound or fraction
thereof to cents for the first pound and
| cent for each additional two pounds or
fraction thereof, and the rate for the
second zone will be reduced from scents
for the first pound and 3 cents for each
additional pound or cents for the first
pound and 4 cents for each additional
pound or fraction thereof TO 5 cents Tor
the first pound and cent for each addi-
tionaI pound or fraction thereof.
The change in the rate will be benefi-
cial to Shepherdstown, as twill distinctly
lessen the cost OF transportation between
this place and Baltimore and Washington.

The Biggest Gum In The World.

The biggest gun in the world is to be
used to guard what is perhaps the great
est material achievement OF the human
race-the Panama Canal. II is l6-inch
breech-loading rifle, and is the first OF
several similar great cannon that are TO
be built for the seacoast defense of the
United States.
The total length OF this gun is 40 feet 3
inches. AT the breechit has diameter
of go inches, and tapers from this TO %
inches al the muzzIe. The main bore is
81 feet l-2 inches long, and il has a
diameter of l6 inches. The cylindrical
part OF the powder chamber is 7 feet 5
inches long, with diameter OF l8.9
inches. II smokeless powder is used, il
will require SIC pounds for a single
charge; and If black powder is used.
l,l76 pounds will be necessary.
The proiectile Of the gun measures 5
feet inches in length, weighs over a
ton,-2,8 ,80 pounds, s,-and when il leaves
the muzzle it can penetrate 42.3 inches
OF steel. The range is no less than q
miles, and the projectiIe will leave the
gun at a speed OF 300 feet second. In
ranging this score of miles. the shell
reaches an elevation OF about 80. 500 feet
higher than Mount Everest, the lotiest
mountain in the world. Even few
years ago the power and range of this
tremendous gun would have seemed al
most incredible. How much greater
weapons the future will bring forth, who
dares say2
