Would it not be well for the pa
irons wbo receive their mail along
the line ot the R..-&T. railroad to
write to the general Supt. of the t. A.
L.. at Atlanta. Ga., and ask him it
better mail accommodations can not
he given 'js, by the R. &. T. rail
road authorities ? If not I would
suggest that we petition the postftice
authorities at Washington to re-establish
star n)utes. as our mail was
more regular and earlier hy the star
route than by the. present system in
operation by the R. & T. railroad
It oow takes from three to four days
to get a letter and ils reply to Nor
folk. Ya and ur Northern mail is
invariably from one to five boors be
hind tiieir schedule time. Section
715 of the Postal Laws and Regula
tions of -1893 -?ays, "That the 'mail
shall lxe conveyed with due frequen
cy and fipeed." &c. Would you call
this speed! It has been fcaid by rail
road met, that, "We gave you a fust
mail and passenger train (The Fly
ing Scotchman) and it did not pay."
I wml(f ask how could the passenger
department expect it topay when-rMr
ly every week, and sometimes twice
a week, there was an excursion from
L,Mwistor to Mine central point 'of
trade, conveying passeugers -it aiwut
one half cent er mile, and this fast
train ws put oo in the dnllest month
of t he year at that, I know that bus
iness of all kinds Las hee.n dull, but
now trade has .opened the lumber
interest is again in operation. Why
not give our same mail train as be
fore? The people on the line of the
R. & T. R. railroad have been very
generous to this road from the time
it was being built-up to the present,
encouraged it, worked to stcure it,
and gave the right-of-way, and tt has
been said that the freight on the
road pa' s them handsomely for trans
portatiug it. This being the ca-:e.
loes it not look like, that right and
justice would demand that we should
have some mail and passenger ac
commodation? TtiiP

OnFriday last Sheriff Bond learned
that there was a plan on foot amonz
the prisoners confined - in jail to make
a wholesale delivery that night. Up
on an examination of the jail there
were found a three quarter auger, a
hatchet., file and chisel which had
been cunveyed to them by outside
parties, the prisoners procuring them
by tearing one. of their blankets in
to strips and making a rope ofj it.
This ihey threw. out of the window
and over the fence when the urticles
were attached to it and drawn in.
The rope was found In the hed of
one of them. The jail has no blinds
to it so the deed was easily accom
plished. They were somewhat taken
hy surprise as the Jailer visits the
jail only once a day and then early
in the morning. When the searching
party went In they made no attempt
to hide the auger, which was found
op the bed, but theypassed the other
articles through the hole for the heat
er pipe, down stairs to the two white
men who s re in the room below them.
When the party searched the room
downstairs they could find nothing as
they were passed back up stair3 as

Mr. Walter A. Stephenson, express

Mr. J. R. Benle has a driven pump
fifty or sixty-feet in depth. The wa
ter is of a mineral character, and the
healing propensities are far superior

which parties have tried, with somje
expense, and yet at last found relief
at home.
I wonder if our town commission

getting to be in a had condition ;
work is much needed. We suggest
that a meeting be held by the town
commissioners and that steps be
taken at once to make the necessary
repairs to streets, bridges. &c.
