Thought He Would Bp Electrocuted.
Raleigh, N. Nov. rl.—Of 1 )
Death by elect rheut ion is the punish -
meat for invading .the. private of
fice of the Governor of North Caro
lina in the hope of securing a maga
zine subscription—so one small boy.
at least, had figured it our.
j "Do you suppose he would have
■mo electrocuted if I went iu thereV"
) The naive question was put in all
j sftWousunss by young W. T. Rost, .Tip,
1 12-year-oid son of W. T. Rost, ltd- 1
leigh correspondent. of the Greens
boro Daily News.
Mr. Rost found hi.s soil outside the
Governor's office at the capital,
hesitant—not quite sure whether or
not to turn the knob and enter tlio
private office. The elder Rost inquir
ed of his son why iu- was there, and
the answer was: . • I
"Well, I'vo heard the Governor
was n great farmer, and I thought
maybe he would subscribe to this
farm magazine 1 am taking subsevip- t
tions for." . |
It was Sir. Rost's siiggestipu that
the Governor probably . was vfiry
busy, and might not wish to be dis
turbed which prompted the question
of possible c'eetrocutiou.
The incident, recited by Mr. Rost
at one of Governor McLean's con
ferences with newspapermen, was the
signa' for hearty and prolonged
chuckle os’ the part of the Execu
tive.
"By all means tell him t, ome to
Jfce office. Ted him I’ll subscribe
from him,” said the Governor. “I
want to hear his speech,"’ he added,
with another laugh.
“Let me see." she murmured,
seribb'ing rapidly. “1 want the sit
ting room paoerod, and I must have
new 'amp globes for that room. The
dining room is very shabby, too. I
must have that papered and another
carpet put down on the floor. The
bathroom needs new tiling, and I’d
like a new kitchen range and a re
frigerator.”
“To whom nre ye u writing, dear?”
asked her husband, looking up from
his newspaper. '
"To our landlord,” she replied.
"I thought perhaps you we-e writ
ing to Santa Claus.” lie observed.
“My pc-r fel nW," said the lady,
“here is a quarter f- r you good
ness gracious it must be dreadful to
be lame, but juet think how much
worse it would be if you were blind.”
M Yer right. Indy,” agreed the' beg
gar, "when I was b'intl I was al
ways getting counterfeit money.”

The plant here is the answer of
l-.e Southern Power company to the
.situation r<%-rred to by J. R. Duke
shortly before his dcaath- when he
was quoted as scrying: "With nil

Dead Letter Menace. '
The Pathfinder.
People thought it a good joke on the
l>os(office department, when a postcard
mailed 1C yeaers ago just recently
reached its destination. To add hu
mor to the case the card advised that
tin- sender hud reached home safely on
the night of August 13,' 11109. The
I sender and addressee have since mar
ried. |
The truth of the matter is that the
postal authorities should take credit r
for del veging the card At nil. The
card was incorrectly addressed and
there was no return address to identi
fy the sender. It was only by a trick
.of fate that it did not become a
1 “dead" piece of mail.
Nearly 30,000 pieces of mail go to
the dead letter office each year be
cause of the failure of senders to
I place a return address on them. This
ca re less ness costs the taxpayers near
ly $2,000,000 not. to mention loss of
property and inconvenience.
•If the public doesn’t awake to its re
sponsibilit’es in the manner, it is pos
sible that congee s will again be ask
ed to charge one-cent for each letter
requiring directory service. Postal em
ployees now must tnxe extra time and
trouble to look up adresses not given
or correct misdirected matter, this
in spite of the assumption that every
person knows his correspondent.
Too many people believe that the

They think that a postninster or mail
