- Mr. J. D.: Gwinu, postmaster
at Clover, has been notified that
certain rural delivery routes out
oiClover are ; not sufficiently
patronized to warrant the) con
tmuance of daily service over
them. The department insists
that there must be more, boxes
and more mail, else the sched
ules will have to be changed so
as to give less frequent service.
A local physician " remarked

Mr. Walker R. Latimer has
brought suit aeainst the General
Electric Cofflpaty for? $5,000
damages on. account of injuries
sustained by the plaintiff while
working for the defendant at the
Tavora Mill some time ago. Mr.
Latimer, it will be remembered
was badly shocked and burned
by electric wires. Mr. John R.
Hart is representing him in the
case.
As we understand it no., more
than two schools in a county are
to be allowed to receive the
benifit of the $50,000 appropriat
ed by the State, unless some of
the counties fail to comply with
the requirements to be fixed by
.the State board of education, in
" which event the per county dis
tribution will be more -liberal.
The Bethany high school people,
we understand, are eligible for a
part of the appropriation,! and
will no doubt take steps to pro
enre what is coming to them.
It is J to be hoped that . York
county will not allow any of her
part of the fund to go by default.

From every view point the
farming class of this county; is in
better shape now than at any
period since the civil war. More

more are becoming independent

Mystery Which
Railroad De
fectlves.
Salisbury Cor. Cbarlottt Chronicle. 2nd.
There has been in progress at
Srxncer an investigation into
coal piracy that has called for
fasting, prayer and detectives.
The Southern has checked up
there and ' has found that i one
hundred cars of coal have been
received but remain unaccount
ed for From the vigorous efforts
beine made. it appears that
there will be a solution forth
coming soon. It ; is: a unique
wholesale theft, practiced by
nobody knows whom. The coal
was shipped, received, but. de
livered to whom? well, that'i
another question. ; . Five I de
tectives have been at work upon
every bit of evidence that was to
be had as an aid to the convic
tion of the guilty persons. They
have examined bank accounts,
queried coal dealers, used every
device of the smart detective,
but suspicion is about all that
has resulted so far.
f It can be seen that the , dis
appearance of one hundred cars
of coal makes a sensation among
the railroad DeoDle.' As usnl
there has Btwn an effort to pnj
vejrt publicity to the affair, but
it leaked out anyhow. The de
tectives have gone home for the
present, but they expect - to
make another investigation and
believe that they will have better
uck in saddling: the guilt upon a
ew who may squeal the . names
of the many. . '

We were asked this week by
a delinquent subscriber , why we
kept on sending the paper after
the subscrption date bad ex
pired. Every weekly " news
paper iu towns of this size are
foroed to do this. - - bbotud we
stop subscriptions when the time
expires nine times out of ten the
subscriber would give us a "call
in? down" for insinuating that
his credit was not good. Rather
thin to cast a reflection against
the honesty of a subscriber to
pay a small debt, it is next j to a
necessity for a home paper to
continue. sending the paper after
the time has expired. It is not
necessary for the city dailies or
weeklies to follow this rule, as
heir subscribers live at a dis
tance and are not personal
riends as ' is the case with a
majority of our subscribers.
Our subscribers should deem it
an honor to know that we do
not doubt . , their f integrity and
continue to., send them the
paper after their time ; has ex
pired. Should any desire their
paper discontinued they , should
notify ns and remit to date if
they have not already done. so.
