COSTLY POSTOFFICE EVIL. (
Irregularities Found In Weighing
Second Class Natter.
Washington, Nov. 24—Striking
at an evil which has cost the '
United States government thou
sands of dollars, Postmaster
General Hitchcock has started a
far-reaching investigation to un- (
cover irregularities in the weigh
ing of mail matter for the rail- |
roads, and as a result of discover
ies already made has ordered a (
shake-up of the service in the
south.
The investigation is being con- ;
ducted in various parts of the
country, but is being directed
from Washington by Mr.
Hitchcock himself.
These changes are the fore-run
ners of others that will alter the
; whole system of weighing mail
for shipment on the railroads.
The discoveries that have been
made so far are the direct result
of an investigation that Mr.
Hitchcock has undertaken in or
der to find out whether the rail
roads are charging the govern
mentexcessive rates for handling
the mail.
There was no idea that frauds
would be uncovered when the
investigation was started. It was
supposed merely that the system
was wrong. Now, in connection
with the effort to find out how
much it costs the railroads to
handle the mail, a general invest
igation will be made regarding
i the methods of weighing second
! class matter.
The evidence obtained in the
i investigation at Atlanta has been
i submitted by the postmaster gen-
I eral to the department of justice
i for the purpose of determining
whether or not prosecution shall:
be begun.

Silver Dollar Coin-H In 1798 Found
At Ruikford
The She!*»y Highlander gives;
an account of the finding of an|
old coin at Rockford, Surry
county. That paper says:
"An American silver dollar,
coined in 1798, was shown us by
Rev. D. W. Low man, pastor of
the South Shelby M. E. church.
It is said by the history of the
mint to be one of the first dollar
pieces ever coined, called the
Martha Washington design and
there had been only 20 dollars
coined when its coinage was dis
continued on account of imper
fection of the design. This is
the only one of the original 20
that is known to be in existence.
The coin was said to have been
i found in the old Rockford court
; house, in Surry county, behind
I the sheriff's desk, some years
ago, when the building was over
hauled and made into a dwelling.
' On one side is engraved the like
! ness of Martha Washington and
on the other the American eagle
with the thirteen stars. On the
perimetor are the words, "Unit
or Hundred Cents or One Dollar."
It is in a good state of preserve-1
is valued highly."
ENDS WINTER'S TROUBLES.
To many, winter is a season of
trouble. The frost bitten toes
and fingers, chapped hands and
lips, chilblains, cold sores, red
and rough skins, prove this. But
such troubles fly before Bncklen's
Arnica Salve. A trial convinces.

ROCKINGHAM'S DRY PRIZERY.!
Will Shut Down For this Season (
Unless the Farmers Store 200,-11
000 Pounds of Tobacco With It
By Dec 17th. j ]
The last issue of the Reidsville!
Review contains the following : j
Unless the farmers agree to;
store tobacco with the Reidsville j
Co-Operative Tobacco Co. to the! i
amount of 200.000 pounds he- f'
tween this and December 17 the J i
storage plant will not be in nper-;
ation in Reidsville this season. ,
This was the decision reached
here Tuesday at a meeting of the
stockholders and directors at the
city hall. Canvassers will within j
the prescribed time give the far-!
mers an opportunity to signj
pledges to store a part of their
j crop. The directors and stock-'
| holders in the enterprise are un-'
willing to take all the risk in'
keeping open the storage plant.!
and the manifesto amounts to an ;•
invitation to the tobacco grower j
to show his faith in the Co- Oper- j
ative Tobacco Co. or refuse and,;
presto, the Co-Operative Tobacco
Co. will close up shop for thej
time being and cut off expenses.
The meeting Tuesday was at
tended by farmers from all sec-1
tions of Rockingham and a part;
|of Caswell. The stock in the;
j enterprise is well distributed I
among the farmers in the two
1 counties and among the business
people of Reidsville. On account |
of the high prices of tobacco as.
j compared with the past few years!
1 farmerts are selling their first of- j
i ferings on the warehouse floors.
!The stockholders and directors
! felt that it would be unnecessary;
! to keep expensive employes at
J the storage plant during this to- j
| bacco season if farmers did not
I desire to store and dry prize a
j sufficient per cent of their crops
!to justify the expense. It would
i be the part of wisdom in such an
! event to close the enterprise for
! this tobacco year.
The Farmers' Union held a
' meeting here Tuesday morning ,
!and those who came had the'
pleasure of hearing splendid i
I speeches by Dr. H. Q. Alexander, 1
l of Mecklenburg county. State;
' head of the Union and Mr. J. Z.;
! Green, State organizer and editor j
