Cowardly and Useless. A few days ago Mr. N. M. Lockhart, registrar for this township, received an anonymous letter advising and warning him to resign the position and return to his farm in Warren county where he has spent the spring and summer. Of course no atten tion will be paid to this cowardly means of intimating a threat. It must be un derstood that there is still law in the land, and that the law will be inforced The time has not yet come in North Carolina when it can bo defied with im punitv. Democrats do uot intend to be intimidated or bulldozed either by anon ymous letters or threats of shedding blood. The smell of blood does not frighten theai. Unclaimed Letters. The follow ing is a list of letters remaining unclaimed in the Wcldon post office : Mrs Julia Sleed, Miss Nellie Taylor, Larra Thomas, A W Thomas, M E Vass, J II Hhite, Tuk Watson, Mrs. Ditsy Washington, Bettio Penrose, Isabel Pon ton, James Rieves, Mabldia Ryner, A L W. & W. Railroad Statistics.

The Atlantio Coast Line officials furnish figures to show that theirs is a shorter line than the Seaboard Air Line. From Charleston to Portsmouth via Coast Line connections the distance is three hundred and ninety-five miles, while by the Sea board Air Line connections the distance between the two places is four hundred and forty-sii miles, a difference of sixty- one miles, on nearly two hours, in favor of the Coast iLine, as claimed by its offi cials. ' Trouble Threatened at Hali fax on Election Day. It has been reported that Republicans in Halifax township have threatened to make trouble and raise a row at Halifax on election day because they are not pleased with the poll holders appointed for that pre cinct. The law vests the appointment of poll holders in the Board of Couuty Commissioners and that body is alone responsible. If they chooso to reject any names presented to them they have a right to do so and it is their duty to do so when they think proper. It would be fitio state of affairs indeed if they were compelled to appoint every poll holder recommended or havo a row at the polls. We are quito suro the Democrats will be equal to any such emergency. New Postal Cards. About the 15th of next month the new return pos tal card will be placed on sale at all post offices. The half of tho double card con taining the mcssago to which a reply is desired is 3 J inches wide by 5 inches long. At the top of the card and a little to the left of the centre, are engraved in three lines, one above the other, the words "Postal card with paid reply;" "United States of America," and in smaller type, "This side for address only." In the right coruer is a vignette of Gen. Grant encircled by a frame bearing at the top the legend "message card" and at the bottom "one cent.' At the lower left hand corner are the words, "dispatch card for answer." The face of the return card is similar to the message card. In stead, however, of tho words "postal card with paid reply," at the top of the card. are tho words, "Reply postal card," over the vignette of Gen. Grant the words "Reply card" are substituted for "Mes sage card." The message card and the card for reply form one piece of card board folded together and creased on a line between where they are to be sepa rated when the reply is sent. ADVERTISEMENTS. Railioad Commission shows that during the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1892, the gross earnings from the operations of the road were $1,452,012; operating expenses ington Johnson, LC Johnson, J E Jack son, J F Jackson, H C Kinsey, John King, Thomas Kceter, (2) J F Kilsaw, Charley Long, Landonia Austin, Thom- 8802,884; net income from other sources as Archer, Amn Carpenter, Chil Dawson, $184,943. There was paid a dividend of eight per cent, amounting to $200,000, leaving a net surplus of $171,391. Tho road leads all others in the State, as s'lown by their annual report. Inefficient Railwat Mail Ser vice. The railway mail servico on the roads leading to this place is not by any means what it should be. Frequently papers directed to this office are several days late in reaching hero. The Rocky Mount Argonaut, published last Thurs day, reached here Sunday, and the Mur- frcesboro Index, published Friday last reached here Monday. And this is the case almost daily. Mail matter that should reach here one day is frequently carried through and brought back the next day. This is a matter of great iniiM Naneo and important letturs are sometimes delayed.
