got relief but at what a cost! They

The RambIers went down to defeat

picked from the audience which left

SHORT PAID LETTERS TO FOREIGN
COUNTRIES

The Department is informed that
many letters mailed in the UNITED
States, addressed for delivery in for
eign countries, which are subject to
our Postal Union postage rates, are
prepaid only two cents, the senders
of such letters being of the impression
it is presumed, that our two cent do
nestle postage rate is applicable to
said letters.
The only foreign destinations to
which our two-cent letter rate applies
are Canada, Cuba, Mexico, the Re
public of Panama, Newfoundland, the
Canal Zone, Germany Cby direct
steamers only), England, Scotland,
Wales and Ireland and the city of
Shanghai, China. To all other places
the rate is five cents for the first
ounce or fraction of ounce and
three cents fer each additional ounce
or fraction of an ounce, which must
be fully prepaid or the letters become
liable on delivery to a charge equal to
double the amount of the deficient
postage. For instance, a, single rate
letter, prepaid only two cents would
be short-paid three cents, and conse-
quently subject on delivery to an ad-
dftional postage charge of six cents.
As charges for postage due on short
paid letters give rise to much com
plant, postmasters are directed to
caution the patrons of their offices re-
speeding the matter and to give this
notice the widest publicity possible.

RULING MAY REVERSE
VETO OF GOVERNOR.
Ghost of Bread Bill Returns to Haunt
Capital.


1t may be that the commissioner Of
dairy and food products, acting with
DR.. Jenkins of the experiment station,
will have to make a ruling which will
quite upset the veto of a bill which
failed passage at the last session.
The bill was in relation to stamp
ing each loaf of bread baked in the
state with it's weight in ounces, and
loaf of bread lost weight when it
dried, the label could not be accurate.
Now comes the enforcement of Chap
ter 1874 of the acts of 1911, which pro-
VideS that "any person who shall sell
food in package form, unless the net
quantity of the contents be plainly
marked on the outside of the pack
age shall suffer what penalties the
law may direct.
If Commissioner Potter and Dr.
Jenkins rule on loaf of bread wrap
ped in wax paper, as fully half of
the bread baked now is, they can hard
lyl do otherwise than to find it food in
package form, and subject to the act
which went into effect on Saturday.

Negro Found Under
Bed Gets 10 Years
Another Culprit Given Long Sen
tence Because Temptation to
Speak OVercame Him.

Triton, July 12-Henry Harris. a
negro, was sentenced by Judge Thomas
in Tiff Superior Court TO ten years on
the chaingang. Harris was discovered
under the bed of Mrs l. b. Hall, wife
of the man who has been sentenced to
hang in Tiff County jail Friday. Au
gust %. Mrs. Hall had retired and for
some cause got up and moved the bed.
In doing so she moved it over the negro
and when she went to get back in bed
stepped against him.
Harris pleaded guilty to burglary and
was given ten years. Sentence was
passed on the negro in less than one
week after the crime was committed.
Jack Mackey, who killed Sid Davis
another negro, at Hogansville Febru-
airy g. was given a sentence of fourteen
years. Henry Wilson, negro, was tried
under a charge of assault with intent
to murder, and found guilty of assault
and fined $50. There was another in
dictment against him for carrying a
pistol without license To this charge
he entered plea of guilty, but
the opportunity to speak before a crowd
got the best of him. He told the judge
that he was drunk and did not know
what he was doing. Judge Thomas said
he considered a negro with a pistol and
full of bad liquor more dangerous than
a rattlesnake and gave him twelve
months on the gang on this charge.

daughters and son almost miracu-

creek, and from beneath it emerged
the five passengers, badly bruised and
SCARED, but still alive.
The Farris family, from Smithville.
were on their way to Americas, coast
ing down Muckalee hill, when the ac-
cident occurred. Mr.. Farris had been
driving the car, but had shut off the
power so that his son could shift to
the drivers seat. The fact that the
car was going very slowly at the time
is attributed by Mr. Farris as the only
thing that saved the lives Of himself
