JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

As a general thing both politi-
cal parties proceed on the theory
that ito the victors belong the
spoils;;" and that is why the Dem
ocratic postmaster at Rocking
ham, w. S. Thomas, was peremp.
torily removed from office Tues
day and w. F. Long, Jr., chair
man of the Republican party IN
Richmond county, put in to-
succeed him.
While the writer would have
preferred that Mr.. Thomas re-
main as postmaster, still the ways
of politics have ruled otherwise.
Mr.. Long is now the postmaster
here, and as such should receive
the cooperation of the patrons.
Mr.. Thomas with his splendid
assistants, Rufus McNair, Pres
Covington, L. A. Kelly and Miss
Meta Poplin, have conducted the
office with a minimum of com
plant and a maximum of service,
The assistants in the Office are
all under Civil Service, and it is
to be hoped that the powers-that
be will be content with the
Thomas scalp and let these other
hard working employees alone
for most certainly no one has
ever accused any of them Of
taking part in politics.

ACCORDING to reports prepared
by the Save-A-Life League, there
were fully 10000 suicides in this
country during 1921, The oldest
suicide was 100, ard youngest 5.
All sorts of reasons were given
bv the victims. One man hanged
himself because his wife was
too good for him; another be-
cause he couldn't stand the
noise of a neighbours piano, and
another because his wife refused
to kiss him. One man left a note
stating beware of grass widows
Another because his wife was
spending all his money.
Ireland has fewer suicides than
any other country on earth. Ger
many leads the world, especially
Il in child suicides. Japan has
many thousands of suicides an
nually and China is said to have
a half million every year.

fact that the train was proceeding

to have been the reason that none
