Cotton picking was retarded
to some extent this week on &C.
count of the heavy rains the first
part, but the cold winds soon
dried things up so that work
could be resumed and much cot
ton has been coming in during
the balance of the week The
Carlisle gin has been running to
full capacity and has nearly
caught up in number of bales
with this time last year.
The heavy rain of Sunday
night retarded rice threshing
Monday but did not do much
damage otherwise as nearly all
the rice in this section had been
cut and was in the shock. The
worst damage was done by the
early frost, the loss from that
cause being not more than from
five to eight per cent. The rice
farmers have had an excellent
fall for harvesting.
Miss Bessie Screeton, who has
been dangerously i'll for the past
three weeks is reported as being
much improved and in fair way
to recovery.
The little child of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. F. Gillespie that has

NEW POSTAL RATES EFFECTIVE

ALI Letters Sent Out of Town Must Bear
Three-Cent Postage

Midnight Thursday should be

letters mailed To points outside
the city, and two cent stamps on
all postcards, whether mailed to
points within or outside the city.
beginning November 2.
Because drop letters will be
sent at the old rate, there are
those who will think that drop
postal cards still Will remain at
one cent. This is not true. All
postal cards must bear two-cent
postage in the future, making a
card no cheaper than a drop let
ser, witch is two cents.
All mail not bearing sufficient
postage to cover the new war tax
will De DELAYED in transmission.
If letter is mailed with a two
cent stamp to a point outside Car
isle, it will be returned to the
sender, if there is a return adj
dress on the envelope, so that
the proper amount of postage
may be supplied, but where no
return address is given and the
sender is unknown the letter will
be forwarded to the addressee,
who will be required to pay one
cent postage. Where ordinary
stamp post cards are used, bear
one cent imprint, an additional
One.cent stamp must be affixed.
Many two-cent and one cent
stamps will continue to be used,
and many two cent envelopes will
continue to be sold, since the To-
cal office and the department still
have many such envelopes on
hand. To these envelopes it will
be necessary to affix one-cent
stamp when they are being sent
out of Carlisle.

SUPPORT THE LYCEUM COURSE

What does q lyceum course
mean to a town like Carlisle? 1t
means a great number of things.
1t means, first of all, high
grade of entertainment for your
selves and for the young people.
They will be entertained in some
way, whether the entertainm ent
be of a high grade or of a low
grade, respectable or the re-
verse. You can not restrain this
youthful desire for entertain
ment.
In the second place, a lyceum
course means that you have the
choice of selecting their enter.
tainment for them. In this pro.
cess of selection, you are assist
ed by multiplied thousands OF
the best men and women in the
country who have stamped with
their approval, the various selec-
tions on the lyceum circuit.
In the third place, a lyceum
course for the town means that
you will have the pleasure
of listening to the very best pro-
fessional musicians, readers and
lecturers in the coun,ry. This
should prove to be not only a
pleasure to you but also it should
and will be stimulous to that
ambitious boy or girl of yours
who wants to do something
worth while. You can not meas
ure the value of the exalted ideals
