Weather Gossip.
One trouble about mild, open
weather in January is that it is
sure to bring bad weather,
generally causing a late spring
and playing smash with the fruit
crop, declares Col. Joe Reece,
who keeps tab on the weather.
January and February last year
were anything but "open," with
the result that when it did
moderate it remained so and we
had an abundant fruit crop.

The Effort to Revoke Taft's Civil
Service Order Pails in House.
Washg'n, Jan. 12.-An attempt
to revoke President Taft's recent
order placing fourth-class post
master under civil service, and
to remove the classification from
assistant postmasters and clerks
in first and second class post
offices by amendment to the
postoffice appropriation bill, fail
ed in the House today, but the
bill carrying $278,000,000 was
passed.
The amendment to revoke the
President's order was lost 141 to
lOfi.
The bill shows an increase of
seven million over the appropria
tions for the present year, due
largely the parcels post.

Parcels Post Opportunities
By Aid of Advertising.
Some of our readers may profit
from the following which ap
peared in the Greensboro
News Wednesday :
In Asheville the parcels post
has reached such proportions
that wagon service for delivery
has already been mustered in.
The new system has won
derous possibilities, for the
producer, the consumer and
the merchant alike. The pro
ducer now has a way of deliver
ing his products directly to the
consumer while the merchant
can deliver his wares at the
farmer's mail box. For the
mercha.it to get the most out of
his rural trade, he should ad
vertise the most intelligently
who will get the most customers.
Quote the prices, so the farmer
and his wife, in sitting by their
evening fireside, may see just
what the merchant offers and at
what price. Intelligent adver
tising will work just as effectively
for the farmer, who cannot
spare time to come to town to
peddle his eggs and butter and
other products. By advertising
his fresh, pure products, he
can work up a nice mail order
business. Oftentimes, it would
be much cheaper for the farmer
to pay a little postage than to
lose a whole day from his farm
work. In England where the
parcels post has been established
for years, farmers have become
great users of advertising
space.
As we said yesterday, the
parcels post is now in the ex
perimental stage but its success
is assured and the individuals
and the firms who quickly grasp
its full significance will be the
ones who will realize the most
from it.

Hunt For Surry Outlaws
Temporarily Abandoned
Greensboro News.
The hunt for the Surry county
assailants of Deputy Marshall
Harkrader and Sheriff Davis has
been temporarily abandoned and
Deputy Blaylock and Deputy
Carroll, who were dispatched to
the scene upon report of the |
affair, have returned to the
headquarters here. Deputy I
Blavlock says that there is little 1
new in the way of particulars of:
the attack, the newspaper re
ports carrying substantially the
same facts as gained by the in- \
vestigation of the officers.
He says the prisoner in cus
today of Deputy Harkrader and I
Sheiiff Davis at the time of the
assault was Mack Todd and that
the only two men known to
have been engaged in the fight
were C. E. Todd, a brother of
the prisoner, and Frank Brooks.
There were several whose j
identity has not yet been estab-;
lished. All of these men have
taken refuge in the wilds of the
! mountains and the officers con
sider it useless to continue the
! search for the time being. Mr.
Blaylock says the Mt. Airy
soldiers ordered out by the
Governor were recalled before \
they reached the scene, the

Signs of Prosperity.
News and Observer.
The crops in most parts of
North Carolina have been very
good for the past few years,
and the prices of farm products
have been higher than in many
years. The farmers are gener
ally more prosperous than be
fore. The Kinston Free Press
prints this item showing a prac
tical result of prosperity :
"In one week since the holi
days, J. O. Suggs, the register
of deeds at Snow Hill, cancelled
over $150,000 in mortgagee on
Greene county real estate. The
sign of prosperity is attributed
to the county's being exclusively
a farming community and ex
periencing with the other coun
ties of the section, the most
favorable crop conditions and
harvests during 1912 that it has
in years."
When farming pays the
farmers pay their debts, cancel
their mortgages and the money
goes into circulation. So pros
perity goes all around.
