—Other News of Sandy Ridge.
Sandy Ridge, N. C., Dec. 18.—
Mr. Johnnie Clark had the mis
i fortune to lose the fingers of his
! right hand in a plaining machine
while working in W. T. Shelton's
i furniture factory here Monday.
He has worked in the factory 18
i years, and has never received a
; single wound. He expefeted to
stop work in the factory on
i Monday evening. This is a fact
that shows us that shows us that
it is never too late to receive in
jury. eutn at the last hour. The
i factory w running full blast now
hut Mr. Shelton expects to close I
down permanently after Christ- j
1 mas, owing to the 'scarcity ofj
s timber in this section,

matter of same doubt in a scien-1

| But look outf when the first)
) morning ehetf does not taste
right. That warning that
things are going t wrong that day
so far bodily lightness and

i becco'chewtr has an unfailing
' ghuge or thermometer, or, what

i physical condition. If his tobac

world, and a cheerful man is on
the job. If it tastes' wrong,
there'll be a dismal d^iy.
■ One of the most distinguished
of Gtillipolis men oice told us
that his early morning chew, tak
'*en before, breakfast,., was the
most 'setgual pleasure
• that came to him. T We retnem
■ ber a blessed old man, long since
•™tken to the saints, vjfco dearly
lotted his chewing toiacco. We
have seen him get j® on a bitter
ly cold morning unheated
room, reach for his plug and his
• knife, and cut of&Lchew before
put his bare legs into his un
,[derclothes or his tronsers. It
' made a deep impression on us.

One-Cent Postage. '
• ' For Drop Tellers!
One-cent postage lor local first'
class deliveries and a zone system
of rates for second class matter,
which is expected to greatly ln
prease tl e charges for magazines
and oth' r periodicals having a
nation-w ide circulation, are pto»
vided for in the annual postoffice,
appropriation bill aa virtually!
completed in ©wpmittee, says a

The measure carryihg appropria-.
tions totaling aboutfcs327.ooo,ooo

when deposited in any postoffice
or branch postoffice c r letter box
or postoffice Jin the delivery dis
trict for delivery within the lim
its of the postoffice, city or rural
delivery district, will be cut in
half. "i
The zone prop-sued for handling
newspapers and magazines,
which now pay a flat rate of one
cent a pound, is regarded as one
of the most radical changes in
postage rates in years. It divid
es the country into eight zones
with rales chargable ranging
from one cent for 300 mile? to
six cents for 1.800 miles or more,
j The hulk of oailv newspapers.
I the committee believes, will not
