Uncle Sam is still busy in his campaign to make the parcel post service of the Postoffice Department popular with the great numbers of people who will use the mails to send their Christ mas' 'preseltts. Parrels may -now" be sent in boxes, the coves of which are screwed or nailed down, provided the postal' authorities are able with the aid ot a srew driver or nail puller to open the boxes and examine the contents, if the occasion arises. Articles may also be sewed in bags and sent if the dispatching' postmaster endorses the claim that only fourth class matter is contained therein. This insures a more secure way of sending matter through the mails. : It is believed that the latest order of the- Postmaster General on the handling of fourth-class matter will prove to be very popular and that it will probably be th. means of attract ing: many who ; will send Christmas gifts .iway. Not only does the parcel post. now offer a : perfectly secure method of : sending packages but it is also the cheapest form of dispatching small shipments ever offered in ..' the history of the count.y. ' ( - i The insurance feature that the. gov ernment' is 'offering senders of parcel post packages is also proving to be quite popular aad fully SO per cent, of the parcels dispatched, through the lo cal office are being insured., TO SALVATION ARMY PLANS JO , FEED POOR ON CHRIST1 " " .

MIDDLE STREET STORE O. L. WETHERINGTON THOUGHT ANIMAL WAS A LARGE RAT. These cool, crisp wintry nights are fine for 'possum hunting and during the past few weeks there have been a number of parties out in search of these animals. O. L. Wetherington, proprietor of the Neuse Crocery Conipanv, located on Lower Middle street, is of the opinion that it is unnecessary for him to tramp all over I he counrrv -it night in search of 'possums when lie can catch them right inside of his place ol business. To prove that he has done this, Mr. Wetherington yesterday afternoon ex hibited to Journal reporter a nice, fat specimen of this breed of the animal kingdom which was captured in his store last Sunday afternoon. For more than a week Mr. Wether ington had noticed that sicks of sugar and other similar contents of the store were being pilfered, supposedly by rats. Sunday afternoon he caught a glimpse of the ' 'possum and, thinking it was i large rat, returned home and secured his dog. He returned to the store accompanied by his son, Len wood, and two sons of Captain S. J. Phillips and the search tor the supposed "rat" was begun. After a thorough inspection of every possible hiding place of the animal, the 'possum was found ensconed in a cozy nook near the front of the build ing. Its capture was an easy matter. Mr. Wetherington is fattening the 'possum and hopes to have him in readiness to accompany a nice dish of sweet potatoes and gravy on Christ mis Day. DEPPE NEWS. Rainy Weather Social Activity.

SENATE MAKES NO CHANGES Believe That Bill Will Be Passed By December The 1 wentieth. Washington. Dec. 9. Senate chang es in the administration currency bill, ' so far, will nor cause any protracted discussion when it goes to conference with, the Mouse, in the opinion of President Wilson. With administra tion leaders he hopes for passage by December 20th and smooth action in conference that will permit the full Christmas vacation for Congress. Senator Swanson, one of the admin istration supporters on the Banking committee, defended the administra tion bill in the debate today, generally analyzing the measure, which he de clared was the best remedy under present conditions. Hi: urged prompt actum and praised the President high ly for insisting upon currency reform. Senator Swanson attacked the con dition of the New York banks uring the 1907 panic and drew i vigorous protest from Senator O'Corman, who quoted from (he hearings before the Banking commit lee to show that country hanks had no trouble in get ting tunds from New ork during the panic. A general debate over vital features ol the proposed revision developed uuring tne .speech of Senator Nelson, one oi i ne Kcpuuiiean committee members who helped in the preparation of the bill submitted bv the Hitchcock taction ot the Senate committee Democratic Senators forgot party divisions and drilled over into Repub lican chairs and throughout the after noon the debate resembled a commit tee conlcrem-e.
