carriers we enter the contest; liot
enectine to be a ? winner, but feel

We have only three lady carriers
in the state, and 250 in the United

are more numerous- than in the

give them the best service possible.
I attended the Rural Letter Car
riers convention held at Wilming
ton, July 4, ' 3 908, and was very
much -impressed with such a large
number of Uncle Sam's boys takiug
such an active part in the work.
We had some good addresses by
carriers, also Senator Jas. F. Moore,
of Pender, in his speech compli
mented the lady carrierss and said
he wished they were all women,
then the men would all be at the
box to the minute to get the mail
and hear the news. "You know it is
said that a woman can tell more in
a minute than a man all day." We
will let others decide that, but we
cannot always tell the "funny say
ings" even if they are on a post
card. We have 28 rural carriers
in the county and we hope all the
boys will join our association before
our next State convention to beheld
at Charlotte July 4, 1909, and want
this county to send a large delega
tion. They will entertain us royal
ly. Will close my remarks wish
ing success to all rural carriers in
