SCOTT POOLE On or about December 23rd, 1894, in company with my family, I enroute to my father's on Deep Creek, for the first night of our Christmas visit with relatives, we passed through where Raeford is now. The McRae home, only house in the town at that time. We came from Red Springs via An- tioch the old Raeford-Red Springs road. We went by Keyser instead of by Blue's Crossing, it was then, now Aberdeen. For years there had been a twice-a-week mail from Clark's Mill to Keyser, M. G. McKenzie was mail contractor, and his wife postmistress. McKenzie was contractor for car rying the mails twice a week from Clark's Mill to Keyser, Powelton and j Carthage. You could carry all the ac cumulated mails for a week in your hat not bothering to place it on your shoulder. G. B. Patterson of Maxton was Congressman from the N. C. Sixth District when Free Rural Mail Routes were established. That was the greatest thing ever done for farmers until electricity found its way into the country. Fayetteville Route 3, Hope Mills Route 1, Lumber Bridge Route 1, Shannon Route 1, Red Springs Route 1 and Maxton Route 1, supplied this section. Aberdeen Route 1, Vass Route 2, Fayetteville Route 3, Tim berland Route 1, Raeford Route 1 and Route 2 supply Hoke County now. Postmaster Daniel Currie used to make up the out-going mail, pick up the mailbag or bags, for there were two some times, and go down to the depot to meet the mail train, and ex change mailbags, carry it up to the post office and put it up for the pat rons. The post office was where Raeford Dry Cleaners now are, and was a framed building 10 by 12 feet in size. I rented my first mail box at Red Springs in 1894, and have had one rented ever since. We used to wait till Sunday afternoon, walk over to a neighbor's and get the mail. Time was when the receiver of mail paid the postage upon receipt of it, but payment of the carrying charges were fixed by the Post Office Depart ment, and the sender paid. R. F. D. and mail order business developed about the same time. 'rom where I sit .. Joe Marsh. "Well," says Judge Cunning ham. "I 6ee they've got It!" "Got what?" I says. . "Look," beams the Judge. And be pulls out an article about a special kind o' Ue detector-an "alcoholometer" they call it When a fellow gets haled Into court for doing mischief, and blames it all on "couple of beers," this scientific machine proves whether Just a "couple of beers" is really the true answer. And o' coarse It isn't Because a couple of beers, enjoyed with friends, is a way people keep out of trouble, not get into it! From where I sit, I certainly agree with the Judge. The fellow with the alibi about a "couple of beers" Is reflecting on good citizens everywhere who enjoy a quiet glass of beer with their meals-slttln' with their friends or just relaxing after a day's work. Moderate folks like that are entitled to consideration. 14J, MEWINO INDUSTIY FOUNDATION. North Carolina Commto fdgor H. kin, (rata Diractar. 406407 lawraiK lld9, aliigh, N. C.

Huv War Stamos SFLCIAL, KfcADlINU . ... - Future I knew country postmasters who made money buying goods and paying for them with stamps, as postmasters received 40 per cent, on stamps sold. Now 4th class postmasters get the amount of postage stamps cancelled as compensation. Some of those postmasters did things not right. They advertised "How to Keep Goats from Jumping the Fence", Charge 10 Cents. "They got lots of dimes for such information. The Answer the fellow got was: "Put Up Two Rails, and he will walk over. ' That was not honest, and was stopped." No man who loved his neighbor as himself, ever accumulated a vast for tune, but independence is within reach of all who are industrious, wise and prudent. Class legislation, and unfair business methods have enriched many, and impoverished others. I see great improvements in all lines of human endeavor since my boy-hood days. Countyseats were the only towns. There is a great advan tage in living in town, because many folks are a constant source of pleas ure, and man is a social being, and loves company.
