NEW REGULATION FOR
PARCEL POST USES
Collect-O Features to Be
Added to the Service About
July I.

0dtJ
The collect-on-delivery feature will
be added to the parcel post depart
ment of the postal service July 1.
1913. Under the approved regulations
a parcel bearing the required amount
of parcel postage stamps may be sent
anywhere in the United States and
the amount due from the purchaser
collected and RENTED by the post
Office department. The regulations
provide that the parcel must bear the
amount due from the addressee, and
the collection will be made provided
the amount is not in excess of one
hundred dollars. The fee will be ten
cents, to be affixed by the sender in
parcel post stamps. This also regis
ters the parcel to an amount not in
excess of fifty dollars.
With the Inauguration of this feat
ure of the parcel post laws, there will
be a vast increase in the availability
of the uses of the parcel post as ap-
piled to the dealer. Then with the aid
of the telephone he can solicit his or
ders from distant customers, ship his
orders by post and collect for them
through the rural carrier.
In the past one of the greatest draw
backs to the use of the postal service
has been the necessity of extending
credit and collecting in advance; both
methods being, in many cases, unde-
sirable, if not prohibitive.
We would advise our readers to
carefully study their local distribute
ing areas in the light of increasing
business by the use of the rural car
riers and be fully prepared to launch
a campaign of advertising along this
new line as soon as advantage can be
taken of this way of selling for cash

QUESTION OF MONEY
THAT is ALL THAT WILL FORCE
6ALkAN-TURK WAR TO
CONCLUSION.
EACH IN NEED OF THE LONG GREEN
II Is Thought Allies Will Accept Terms
Now offered-commanding Gen
eral at Adrianople Says He Has
No Thought of Surrendering.

The developments of the last week
appear to make the conclusion of the
Balkan war a matter of only a few
days. Turkey, having no hopes of OBJ
tanning more money, has entrusted
her interests to the good offices of
the powers and the allies have &C
cepted the powers offer of mediation
The representatives of the powers at
Sofia handed the Bulgarian premier
their scheme embodying a basis for
mediation. Their plan includes two
provisions to which the allies will
likely object. The demand for indem-
nifty is vetoed and the powers stipu-
lated that hostilities must cease when
their proposals are accepted.
Has Come to Deadlock.
1t appears improbable, however, that
the allies will refuse to settle on the
terms now offered. The war has come
practically to a deadlock. Fighting on
the Tchatalja lines has been indecis-
i've. Adrianople, which the Burgarians
proposed to reduce to submission in
a few days, seems to be holding out
as strongly as ever after a five months
siege and a wireless message from
there declares that the Turkish com
mander has no thought of surrender.
Austria has sent a second note to
the Montenegrins, requiring that the
bombardment of Scutari be confined to
the forts and giving one week for King
Nicholas to comply with her other de
mands. Russia is not backing the Aus.
trian policy and as the powers have
agreed that Montenegro shall not keep
Scutari, even if she conquers the gar.
rison, but that that city shall be in.
corporated in the new Albanian state,
King Nicholas seems to have no alter
native but to make a virtue of neces.
sity.
Allies Money Almost Gone.
If the allies attempt to withstand
the mandate of Europe they might
prove to be a hor cts nest, but the
weak point in their armor is that their
finances are almost as near an end as
Turkeys.
The ambassadors in London, who
had scattered for the Easter holiday,
have been recalled and are in constant
consultation over the details of the
situation. Their view of the outcome
is optimistic.

Austrian Ulutimatum.

The Austro-Hungarian government
has addressed a strongly worded note
to Montenegro, which was in the ma
ture of an ultimatum.
Beyond promising that the future
bombardment of Scutari will be di-
rected against the Notifications and
not against the town, Montenegro's
reply to Austria's remonstrances is a
refusal to comply with the Austrian
demands

No Water to Drink.

The breaking of the carlton reser-

water, and physicians declared there
was great danger of typhoid in the use
of the flood water.
There are no boats in Dayton which

to reach the business section.
How many houses have been swept

BATTLE PLAHHFD.
G. @. P. Men in Senate May Try Re-
taliation,-COnference on For
This Week.

Washington, April IA confer
ence of republican senators has been
called for tomorrow morning to con-
slider plans for retaliating upon the
democrats for Withholding more than
20O republican nominations in the
last few months of the Taft admins
tration.
Senator Townsend is leading the
movement to fight President wilson's
nominations and Senators Root, Bur-
ton. Jones, Kenyon, Lippitt and Colt
signed the call for the conference.
Indications tonight were the differ
ences of opinion are likely to develop
tomorrow. Senators who signed the
call take the position that President
Taft made these nominations in good
faith without regard to political exl-
eencies and maintain that they
should have been confirmed. Senator
Townsend is willing to keep up the
hattie until the democrats concede
they were mistaken and are willing TO
confirm the Taft nominations where
NO good reason for Withholding ap-
nroval is shown. Some senators pre-
dict that President Wilson would not
be greatly displeased if Taft nomina-
tions were confirmed where the noml-
nees' qualifications were shown to be
sufficient.
Some of the republican Neaoers'
however, are likely to oppose the
nlan to fight the Wilson mountainous
They see little to be gained by 1t ana
are of the opinion that they will nave
enough to do in other ways in com
batting democratic policies.

Groceries VIII be Cheaner.

Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
Should tariff bill pass as introduced
in the house it will materially reduce
price Of many articles that are used
by all the people of this country. Mr..
Charles Thorpe, editor of the Grocers
Advocate, in speaking of the bill, says
sugar will come in practically free.
This he says, will not mean anything
to the retail grocer, but to it will
mean a difference of two cents less
per pound. Flour will also be greatly
reduced in price to the consumer
and the difference will be about $1.40
less a. barrel for average grades.
There will be similar reductions in
rice, buckwheat flour and other staple
groceries. Common SOAP should
in cases where it now costs seven
cents a cake, be reduced to some
thing nearer FIVE cents a cake. I'm
ported biscuits should also come down
similar amount. There are only a
few of the articles that will be ch,
ened by the bill. These reductions
will help the poor people, the very
class that need help most.

WOULDN'T PAY POLICE.
Chicago Woman, Refusing to Give Up
Protection Money, Compelled to
Quit Business.

Chicago, April 14.-Sarah Mueller,
formerly the keeper of disorderly
house, testified before the Illinois vice
commission today that because she
refused to pay protection money to
the police she was put out of bust
ness.
Hers was only one of many stories
brought out before the commission in
it's efforts to learn the cause of the
prevalence of vice.
The Mueller woman's story of at
tempted extortion by the police came
after she admitted having kept dis
orderly house for ten years. She said
she gave a plain clothes man 500.
When this man took the SlOO
from you whom did he say it was
for?'
The woman answered. "He said it
was for a democratic official in the
city hall
Later her house was closed because
she refused more money.
She said she had had no other ex-
perience with the police.
Her testimony was the result of a
promise to the commission by the
Rev. Mr.. Williams that he would FUR
nish the names Of persons who had
been paying money for protection.
The commission plans to go further
into the subject.
Frank Olson, proprietor of dance
hall. testified that he once paid S25
to police lieutenant, since dismissed
from the service. He said he paid the
money to induce the police not to
keep patrons away from his hall.

Carrying Your Load.
Spartanburg Herald.

SpartanDuTg Herald.
In every growing, thriving town
the most valuable men are those who
"re carrying their load. They are
the men who are trying to do things.
If they had ample means they would
not be straining and tugging at their
traces, it would be "cinch" for them
to do what they want to do, but hav-
inc to make both ends meet and at
the same time accomplish their aim
IN business or in the development of
their city, they are put to it day after
day in such way as to prove the
kind of stuff they are made of.
If it had been left to the men who
originally owned the farms upon
which the cities of the south now
stand, to build these great centres
of trade and culture, there would
have been little development. These
people were naturally contented with
their lot. They owned the land and
had no fear of the poorhouse. The
men who build cities and develop
great industrial plants are men with
out means in the beginning, but who
have vision and enough grit to carry
their loads.
When a man is carrying his load
he is doing his part. The trouble is
that too few men are willing to carry
their load. Too, often, when the COL
lar pinches, they lay down in the
harness. The man worth while is the
fellow who will do his part and when
such man drops out the whole
community feels it.
