PROPER MMM
The new postal order, promul
gated by Postmaster General
Burleson, is as follows:
"Letters and post or postal
cards may be dispatched whether
or not anv postage is prepaid
thereon. Other articles shall not
be dispatched unless prepaid at
least in part, and in all cases of
insufficient payment double the
amount of the deficiency shall be
collected from the addressee.
The option of no prepayment or
of part prepayment of postage
does not apply, however, to
either letters or Other articles
mailed with the apparent inten
tion of avoiding prepayment."
The nonprepayment of postage
will be taken as a mistake on the
,part of the sender, and the mail
will be dispatched on this sup
position, but where it appears to
be a wilful neglect to prepay,
the mail will be held as hereto
fore. Although there will be
some saving of time in sending
the mail out without prepay
ment, it will be offset by delays
at the destination, and the extra
cost will make it undersirable
from a business standpoint
Letters or postals received at
an Office under the old rules
without bearing stamps were
sent back to the sender, provid
ing they carried a return card,
or were held at the point of
mailing until the addressee could
send on the required amount,
This rule often worked a hard
ship, as much time was required
in many instances to notify the
addressee and receive a reply.
The rule requiring the collection
of double the amount of defi
ciency is considered by the local
officials to be a just one, as it
will compensate the government
for the additional collection, and
will act as a deterrent to those
who would take advantage of the
privilege of not prepaying.

THE NEWSPAPER LAW.
i Recent Decisions by the Supreme
Court as to Taking Papers.
Few readers of newspapers
fully and clearly understand the
laws governing subscriptions.
Below are the decisions of the
United States on the subject:
''Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary
are considered as wishing to re
new their subscriptions.
' 'lf subscribers order a dis
continuance of their periodicals I
the publisher may continue to
send them until all dues are
paid. • #
"If the subscriber refuses to
take periodicals from the post
i office to which they are directed
he is responsible until he has
settted his bill and ordered the
paper discontinued.
"If subscribers move to other
places without informing the
publishers, and the papers are
sent to the former address, the
subscriber is held responsible.
"The courts have held that
refusing to take periodicals from
the postoffice or removing and
leaving them uncalled for is
prima" facie of intention to de
fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do
not wish to continue taking it,
otherwise the publisher is auth
orized to send it and the sub
scriber will be responsible until
express notice with payment of
all arrearage is sent to the pub
lisher.
The Country School.
Prof. Utley, superintendent of
public instruction in Jackson co
nuty, writes»a most excellent let
ter to the local newspapers of his
county in which he urges that the
country boy be educated better
to the end that he can do more
for the country. Prof. Utley
wants the country boy to stay
at home instead of rushing off to
town. He recognizes the fact
that living in the country must
be made more pleasant than it
has been heretofore in order to
keep boys in tne country. In
speaking about this the Hews
and Observer says:
Prof. Utley says the country
schools must teach the natives
how to live and how to get a
living. It is well known that
homes in the country are not as
attractive as they might be and
that the comforts of life are not
as plentiful provided in the
rural districts as they are in the
eity.
The well equipped country
school will meet these needs
from two directions. It will
spread the refining influences
which tend to make for happi
ness in the home and it will pro
duce the efficiency which trans
mutes itself into the wealth
which makes the comforts of
life possible. "The future 1 ' says
Prof, Utley, "holds out many
flattering promises to the intel
ligent, progressive young people
who are educated along lines of
industrial science."
There is no doubt at all about
the stragetic part which the
country school will hold in the
solution of the problem of sup
porting the teeming millions of
the land. Greater production is
clearly seen to be one of the cry
ing needs of the day. The coun
try school, teaching among other
things the branches that wili
tend to enthusiasm and success
in farming, accomplish wonders
toward bringing lagging supply
within reach of hurrying demand.

To Investigate Conditions of
Conyicts.
Governor Craig has announced
that he expects to begin at once a
full investigation of conditions at
the convict camps in North
Carolina to ascertain how the
convicts are being managed and
treated and what disposition is
made of them after conviction.
The Governor says this investi
gation will extend not only to
the convicts under the control of
the State, but also those under
the management and control of
the county authorities. He in
tends to have a similar investi
gation made from time to time,
in order that the State may not
neglect any duty that it should
preform for those who have been
condemned-for crime.
The Governor says that he is
hoping that this investigation
will show that all the convicts of
the State are being prcperly
cared for, treated humanely and
managed in accordance with the
law. The probability is that the
Governor will use the State
Board of Internal Improve
ments for the investigation,
although he has not yet definite
ly stated that he will do this.

M. O. SHERRILL SPEAKS.
■y it ■ : ■
Extracts From the Speech of State
Jt Librarian at the Opening of New
■State Library February 2:
Below we give a few extracts
"ftom the speech of Mr. M. O.
Sherrill, State Librarian, at the
opening of the New State Libra
ry in Raleigh, February 2:
Now that we have gotten into
our new home, the North Caro
lina State Library can afford to
"put on airs." Our statp should
be proud of her State Library,
fbr we feel assured that we have
the best library south of Wash
! wgton. It is to be regretted that i
sO many of the good people of I
■ jtforth Carolina - do not know
what a treasure our state has in
its library. We deeply regret
fcbat the Chairman of the Build
ing Commission, our comrade
and friend, Ashley Home, was
galled away before this day. He
was a noble man.
Fifty or a hundred years ago,
JKorth Carolina was known for
Its "tar, pitch and turpentine."
Now North Carolina is at the
very front among the states.
Look at the advances she has
made in education in the last de
cade. Along the line of agri
culture our state is at the front.
For the fourth consecutive year,
North Carolina produced a larger
yield of cotton to the acre than
any other state in the Union.
The tobacco crop of our state is
estimated as worth th'rty mil
lion, which is two million more
than Kentucky, the great to
bacco state. North Carolina,
last year, grew eight million
bushels of sweet potatoes, one
million more than Georgia pro
duced. As to the quantity of
peanuts grown, North Carolina
leads all the iest of the states.
The dairymen in our state make
the very best butter.
Some years ago there was a
fruit exhibition in one of the
Western states, and some of our
enterprising men from Catawba
County, went to that "Fair,"
and actually took the premium
bn apples over those great west
ern states.
North Carolina by erecting
t£bis building shows her agres-
spirit. Will you excuse this
digression if I pause here to say
(that our city auditorium excels
any south of Washington?) For
beauty and patriotism the wo
men of North Carolina lead. The
truth is, our women who are en
gaged in school-teaching, cannot,
be excelled. Teaching is next to
preaching the gospel. We can
not understand why any person
should move from North Caro
lina; for since she has "waked
up", the "Old North State"
stands in the front rank of
states.
We will not speak of the Civil
War, (only incidentially,) but I
have heard our North Carolina
soldiers say that they had rather
have North Carolina soldiers on
their right, and on their left as
their support, than any other
soldiers in the Southern army.
That declaration, coming from
the men who carried the guns,
fixes the standard of
Heel" men as soldiers. We do
not want any war, but we desire
to show that the people of our
state are true wherever they are
placed.
In a letter to The Democrat
Mr. Sherrill speaks in glowing
praise of Catawba county. The
State of North Carolina can in
deed be proud of its handsome
new library building, and none
are more proud, we should judge,
than our State Librarian, Mr.
Sherrill.
; Death of John Flowers.
Mr, John Flowers, who was
paralized two weeks ago, died at
the home of his son, Mr. Henry
Flowers, in this city Sunday
night and was buried Monday at
St. Stephens Church, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev.
J. D. Mauney, pastor of St.
Andrews Lutheran Church. The
deceased was about 72 years of
age and is survived by four sons
and two daughters.
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, proaounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & -Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only • Constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
It acts directly on -the blood and
mucous snrfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for anv case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars and

Doctor Fulton at Lenoir College.
One of the most inspiring and
original addresses ever delivered
at Lenoir College was that by
Dr. M, G. Fulton Professor of
English at Davidson College, in
the college auditorium Mondav
night. Dr. Fulton took as his
subject, "Christianity and the
Newspapers."
He defined Christianity as not
a religion, but the religion, as
not confined to creeds and dog
mas, but a universal fact of life
All efforts of the race leading to
a higher civilization he classed
as phenomena of the Christian
jife. The newspaper, when read
intelligently and not passively,
Ihe considers a great organ for
the promulgation of the Christ
ian truth.
Dr. Fulton's address was re
plete with cogent logic and orig
inal conceptions, and his dis
course was made vivid with strik
ing imagery and apt literary al
lusion. Throughout his discourse
was scholarly and interesting.
