Pretty Small Business.-Postofice

Pretty Small Business-Postoffic
inspectors are sometimes a bit too eag-
er to make q case" One Of these got
a good shakeup in United States court
here the other day before Judge Boyd
The evidence was that negro sent
some photographs off by parcel post tc
be enlarged. On the back Of one OF
these he marked the size In figures
The clerk at the postoffice saw him dc
this, but instead Of telling him that he
could not put any writing or figures on
the package, he let him mail 1t at par
eel post rates, then the inspector was
put on the job, the man was arrested
in South Carolina, kept in Jail q month
then brought here for trial. When
Judge Boyd heard the evidence he re-
marked that 1t was mighty little mat
ter-about the smallest coming under
his observation-and he ordered the
defendant released.
The case cost the government al
least 500 II not more. In dismissing
the action Judge Boyd said that not
one man in fifty was conversant with
the rules of the department In mailing
matter by parcel post and that COM
mon decency would have prompted the
clerk who saw the figures being placed
on the package to have told him II
could not be mailed, yet he stood there
and watched him, then reported the
case to the inspector. 1t Is safe to say
that another case like this will not be
brought soon.-Greensboro, N. c., Rec

UNIFORM COTTON BALES.

The new regulation requiring a uni
form size of 27x54 inches for cotton
bales for export, Is receiving more or
less consideration at the hands Of buy
ers and sellers, but as yet has given
no particular inconvenience on the To-
cal markets.
Speaking Of the matter yesterday. a
Yorkville buyer said: .'..
1.-The regulation has not bothered US
yet, whatever 1t may do later. You see
both the mills and the exporters are all
ways anxious for this early cotton, and
while you would have to pay a dollar
penalty on q bale that did not conform
to the uniform size. If you exported,
you can get around that by selling to
the mills. The mills don't care much
how a bale Of cotton is packed, just 80
they don't have to pay for too much
bagging and ties and they get the cot
ton"
Asked as to how the gins Of the coun-
try were fixed as to having press boxes
Of regulation size. the buyer quoted,
said that most Of the stationary press
es were Of standard dimensions, 27x54;
but there are a number Of Boss presses
that pack larger bales. which bales
would be liable to the dollar penalty.
The buyer went on to say that 1t would
be worth the while Of the cotton grow
ers to see to it that their bales were
packed in regulation presses, for the
reason that sometimes the exporter Is
in position to pay more for cotton than
the local mills will buy, and in that
case the penalty will have to be deduct
ed. He went on to suggest that there
is danger that eventually this dollar
difference will assert itself against ir-
regular packing and 1t will be just as
we'll to get down to regulation sizes
and be done with It.

- Columbia special Of September II,
to Charlotte Observer: Governor and
Mrs. Blease were called home from
Washington by advices of the serious
illness Of the latters mother. Mrs.
Blease stopped over at the home of
her mother, Mrs. Summers, in Ander-
son county, and the governor came on
to Columbia. Speaking Of his return
the governor said: "Of course I was
very much disappointed in not being
able to remain with my brother Red
Men, most Of whom I know person
ally and are my good friends; but un-
der the circumstances there was moth
ing for me to do but to return home.
l am very much gratified over the
election Of my brother-in-law by a
vote of about nine to one, in Ander-
son county, and / am also very much
gratified that Spartanburg city seems
to be so friendly as the newspaper
accounts admit that the only anti
Blease man in the race was left at the
post, while the two Blease men finish
ed neck and neck. Mr.. Floyd Is a
member of the present state hospital
commission, and Mr.. Johnson Is now
mayor AS between them, I had no
preference whatever, as they are both
good friends of mine; but neither
shall be without job. If Floyd gets
In I will put Johnson in his place on
the state hospital commission, and If
Johnson stays In as mayor, why of
course Floyd will hold on. So both
Bleasites will have a job. while the
anti will still be statesman looking
for one"

Lawyer and LesisIature.-The York
Vile Enquirer says: There is develop
ing throughout North Carolina strong
sentiment against the election OF law
yers to the legislature" This develop
ment Is largely a matter Of imagina-
ton, we can assure our South Carolina
friend. North Carolina once tried the
boycott Of the lawyer. 1t was in the
flush days of the Farmers Alliance.
The bars were put up against the law
yers in a most effective way. No law
yer dared offer for legislative honors,
nor for elective Office Of any kind for
that matter. In consequence. there was
at least one legislature with no lawyers
in 1t and the ensuing muddle was an
ornament to history. 1t is a fact that
the good offices Of friendly" lawyers
were called to the rescue, and the more
honest Of the anti-lawyer crowd were
made to feel little shame-faced about
II. Out of the affair came the proof OF
the worth Of the lawyer. and In this
state he has since been treated as
somewhat of respectable citizen.
North Carolina does not object to law
yers in the legislature. The concern Is
that there should not be too many, and
that Is a matter the people will look

Williams had over 100000 votes. Mr..
Williams was awarded the automobile
and Mr.. Adams was awarded chest
Of silver. The defendant charged fraud
In the transaction, based on alleged ru-
NOR to the effect that while he had
complied with the conditions of the
offer, Mr.. Williams had merely paid the
Herald a sum Of money sufficient to
entitle him to the number of votes he
received, and that the alleged SUBJ
scriptions involved were not bona
flde. Mr.. ]. T. Fain Of the Herald
company testified that Mr.. williams
had won the automobile fairly, and
I produced his records to show that the
subscriptions returned by the winner
were bona fide, and that the success
full contestant received votes, in exact
proportion to the number Of bona fde
subscribers returned. Mr.. Adams tes-.
titled that his suspicious in regard to
the matter were aroused by certain ru-
mors on the streets Of Rock Hill; but
when defendants counsel sought to
make him put the responsibility for
the dissatisfaction on Mr., o. <. Will
liams Of the Rock Hill Record. he de-
MED all intimations Of the kind. After
hearing the testimony, Judge Prince
granted motion for a non-suit. He
said in effect that the whole thing
seems to have been gamble, and that

The last jury case taken UP was that
involving the right OF way on the Lin
coin road through the property Of
Messrs. 8. N. and H. e. Johnson, about
two miles from the court house. Under
condemnation proceedings the jury had
found that the road occupied one acre
altogether, and valued the land at $50
an acre, The understanding was that
Mr.. 8. N. Johnson had donated his
right Of way. and $25 was awarded on
account Of Mr.. II. z. Johnson's inter-
est. The Messrs. johnson made claim
to more damages because Of the incon-
yenient shape in which their land was
left because of separating the residence
on the property from the well land out
buildings, and going back Of instead Of
In front Of the house. 1t was also al
legged that the well had been caused to
cave In by reason Of the location of
the road. The trial jury sustained the
verdict that was rendered by the jury
in the condemnation proceedings, and
under the rule the costs will fall on the
Messrs. Johnson. There being no fur
ther business for the petit jurors, they
were discharged yesterday afternoon.
Court was engaged this morning in
transacting various odds and ends Of
equity business. a

for its chief executive head as sug-
gested. A great many presidents OF
insurance companies and railroads
receive salaries equal to that paid to
the president of the United States.
Mr.. Gill predicts that Nevada is
entering upon a great mining revival,
and believes this year will show the
world that we have a large undevel-
oped deposit of minerals. Very few
people realize that Nevada, in the
last fifty years has produced over one
billion and five hundred million dol
lars in gold, silver, copper and other
metals, and yet, the extent of our
resources is unknown. Besides this
mineral production must be borne in
mind the states cattle, sheep and
wool industries, which means mil
lions annually, and the constant adj
vance in agriculture and horticulture.
All of which points to many new
corners looking for land upon which
to settle, when the Panama canal is
opened.
