PUBLIC IS
LEARNING The
new SYSTEM
PARCELS POST IS POPULAR
1t Will Soon Become UniVer
sally So

Very rapidly the public here is
learning the regulations and princi-
pies of the parcels post, which is be-
coming daily more popular. A fea-
ture of the inauguration of the system
here is the large number of parcels
which are being insured under the
new system, which gives adequate p.'o-
lection in this particular for the small
sum of ten cents, without regard to
whether the package is of little value
or great.
1t should be remembered that only
merchandise can be sent by the par
cells post. The classification of mer-
chandise by the government is also
different from what the ordinary term
would imply, as not everything that is
sold by merchants can be sent by
parcels post An inquiry at the post
office will bring forth any necessary
information in this particular.
Under the parcels post system small
parcels of merchandise go under the
rate as of old up to four ounces, then
the pound rates of the new system
apply. Each parcel should bear the
addresses name, prefxed by From" 3"
Parcels post stamps must be used on
every package sent by this system.

LEAP YEAR DID MAKE A
BIG DIFFERENCE HERE
At Least The Marriage Records Show That Business
Was Better Matrmonially by Far Than the Year
Before-The Girls Were Evidently the Job

Leap year did make difference
here in the matrimonial line. There
are figures to prove it, too, and figure
are supposed to be very truthful af-
fairs.
Captain John A. Cobb, Judge of the
court of ordinary, has prepared at The
request of The Times-Recorder a re-
cord of the marriages in Sumter coun-
ty for the ytsrs 1912 and 1911, so tla'
the number of marriages for these two
year can be readily compared. From
this comparative table it is easily seen
that Leap Year has the call by q
large margin over the year before.
OF course, there would naturally
be an increase in fiourishing coun-
ty like Sumter, but the increase is 50
much larger for the last year than

RAISES LIGHT HOUSE FLAGS
In HONOR BIRTH OF BABY
British Man-Of-War Goes to
Rescue

display of flags to celebrate the birth
of a baby to Mrs. Jones is the Wat
ling Island lighthouse, which they
kept in the Bahamas, cost a British
man-of-war a useless run and the
lightkeeper his position, according to
the story told by passengers arriving
here on the steamer Arcadia from
the Bahamas yesterday.
Ignorant of their significance the
lightkeeper had swung aloft two OF
the international marine code flags,
signalling that he needed assistance.
A German tramp schooner sighted the
flags and notified the British marine
authorities at Nassau. The gunboat
with 100 marines was despatched un-
der full steam for Waiting Island, on
ly to find that the light keeper WAS
celebrating the arrival of his first
baby. The British naval authorities
according to the story did not take
kindly to the joke, and as a punish
ment they had the lightkeeper remov-
ed to a smaller station.
