Some fire losses seem uuavoid ‘ able*,'but these are so few as to \be almost negligible- Fires take about 21,000 American lives each year; and enough property loss topay for a revoiuionary- war. The wanton fire builder is po- - tentlallv a murderer. It,appears that the ridiculous' ness of the present rate on pri vate postcards has at last dawn ed upon the minds of Congress men, as a bill has been passed )y the House restoring the rate of one cent to these cards, and ii is likely that similar action will be taken by the Senate. Under the present law, which has been in effect nearly two years, the government will i'ur nish ready stamped postal cards and transmit them at the rate of one cent each. But if a private individual furnishes -his own cird, he must; pay two cents for its transmission iu the mails. As might have been anticipa ted by anyone with a modicum of brains, the present law has greatly curtailed the use of pri vate mailing cards, ,hoth for souvenirs and business, with a corresponding reduction in pos tal revenues, — The restoration of the one cent rate will be in the interest of the postal service and the pub lie,—Harnett County News. to do business, is too often paint “d as an enemy of the people. What a contrast! One man is a non-producer, a non pmt)Ioyer and a tax absorber. The other is a producer, an employer and a taxpayer: The first is heralded with brass bands and his utter ances occupy pages of newspaper and magazine space. The other passes by unnoticed. If the first man with his flowery speeches and impractical ideas, ran for public office as an oppon-mt for the producer, the taxpayer and the einplover, he would probably be elected on the ground thatl.e did not represent ‘‘big business” ■ as did his opponerit. The ruadt: public popularity is too o ten f path of destruction, because ad vocating constructive policies is not sensational. The man who builds a hundred million dollar industry is often looked upon with suspicion. The ram who destroys a hundrvd million dollars industry get.-- pages of publicity, and lays the foundation for a political future. A Tired Woman’s Epitaph. Here lies a poor woman who al ways was tired. She lived in a house where help was not hired. Her last words on earth were: Dear friends, I am going Where washing ain’t done, nor sweeping nor sewing; But everything there is exactly to wishes; For where they don’t eat there’s no Washing of dishes. I’ll be where ioud anthems will always be ringing, Hot having no voice, I’ll be clear of the singing Don’t mourn for me now; don’t nioorn for me never— I’m going to do nothing for ever and ever. —Author Unknown. produce a colorful account of any matter, often misrepresent the facts, sometimes are actually un truthful.
