a NEW MANUFACTURING

The Hoop Mill is now certain
ty. Messrs. Meyer and Swank,
formerly Of Carthage, Tenn, have
leased ground from Mr.. Lorraine
Craig on the Y. and NJ. V. r. r,
about a half mile south of the de-
pot and the construction Of their
plant and the side track will be-
gin at once, or will probably have
cotton under way by the time
this is published.
This plant was secured through
the efforts Of the Business League
and more specially through the
energetic. and effective work of
the secretary, who was able
to secure unusually prompt
action and favorable terms. on
the part of the railroad company,
regarding the construction of the
side track, which was one OF the
principal factors that induced the
selection Of Greenwood; there
were a number Of other points
competing for the location of this
plant.
The labor payroll will amount
TO quite a large sum per annum,
most Of which will probably be
spent in Greenwood. Mr.. Meyer
and Mr.. SwaDk and families will
become permanent residents and
in addition we understand they
will bring some skilled labor with
them.
We extend them a cordial well
come and wish them abundant
success. We also congratulate the
Business League and their sec
tary.

POSTAL REGULATIONS.

Many articles of merchandise are
absolutely prohibited transmission In
the mails, therefore inquire before
mailing. Now that the holidays are
here the mails are flooded with Christ
mas presents, going to and coming
from all parts of the world.
The average person knows little
about the postal laws and regulations
of this country and consequently Is
apt to make a mistake. Dc you know
that you cannot mail tobacco in any
form to a friend in France or that
you cannot mail patent medicine to a
friend In Hungary. II you have one
there? The postal laws OF this coun-
try prohibit the mailing to any foreign
country of matter liable to decomposi-
ton, such as confectionery or confec-
lions. Did you know that, with few
exceptions, you cannot mail to foreign
countries Canada ~excepted) any pack
ct or letter containing gols or silver
substances. jewelry or precious arti-
cles? 1t Is true. Nor can you send
any packet or letter containing articles
ildDlt W CuSlOuuS Ouby 1 LhO SOuAlAACO
addressed. That does not apply to
Canada or Mexico or to articles for
warded by parcel post. The postal
laws prohibit the putting of ~intoxicat-
ing liquors ardent vinous, s%pirituous
or malt in the mails. If you try to
send to a friend In some distant city a
small flask of fine whisky its destina-
ton will be Washington-the dead let
tier Office. @
One would be surprised at the ire
mehdous number of violations of the
postal laws and regulations because
Of the ignorance of the average person
using the mails. Nearly every pack
age that goes through the mails at
this time of the year is opened by the
postof1ce department. Some persons
are accustomed to sending a package
%purporting to contain nothing but pho
tographs through the mails. When
those packages have been opened In
the postofices some of them have been
found to contain writing. handker-
chiefs or jewelry. which is a violation
of the postal laws and subject to a fine.

soon as she saw you were trying to
avoid a direct answer, she knew I'd

important was up. Well, Abbott, you
are certainly an infant in her hands,

Self-pride was touched, and he re-

ton behind her back"

or education, or culture, or religion, If
there's no heart in it, it's a sham, and

makes a man true to his wife, and
makes a family live together in bles-
sed harmony, something that's good
on the streets and in the stores, some
thing that makes people even treat a
show-girl well. Il there's anything in
1t, why doesn't father"
She snatched way her hand that
she might cover her face, for she had
burst into passionate weeping. why
doesn't a father, who's always talking
about religion, and singing about It,
and praying about it-why doesn't that
father draw his daughter to his breast
close, close to his heart-that's
the only home she asks for-that's the
home she has a right to. yes a right.
