UUJLISIIED S C is i ..RY iilRSDAY ATl r1WBERRY, S.C- t BILL NYE ON POSTMASTERS. O He Used to Re One Himself, and He Knows the Ropes. h rFroUm the New York Worl.] The New York postoffice is a large, b dignified building, situated right where the roads fork ; being the place where Sf you can turn off to the right from the h main traveled road in order to get to the bridge. It is used partly for a post- a office and partly for a court house, so that one end of the building prac- T tically pays the expensse of the other w end. A self supporting postoffice and a court house here, where competition tl i- hot and rents high, would naturally t< show that times are good and money v plenty. Mail comes here from all foreign ai countries and Europe also. It is dis- si tributed at once, and one is permitted , to mail a letter at any time, day or d night. It's wonderful. In tall build- b ings now there is an arrangement by d which one may shoot his letters into a runaway or flume, and they will be carried into a United States mail box lo on the ground floor, where a trust- a: worthy young man in a speckled straw ti helmet coies and fills his valise with B them,after which he carries them, away w to the postoftice and personally uses his influence with the postmaster to have f them sent away by t he early train. v I stood near the small box at the c< bottom of the chute in the Standard h Oil building the other day, and I re mained there 10 or 1.5 minutes I counted b forty-nine letters as they were laid, w one by one, hot from the crackling typewriters above, and all no donbt reeking with the bloody and startling ti statement, coming like a peel of thun der from an unpeeled sky, "Dear Sir- ' Your esteemed favor of the-th inst, (or b ult, or prox.) is before me. In reply h would say," etc, There's just about as much use in this opening las there a would be in stating that "We take our pen in hand," or in opening a prayer c by reading the minutes of the previous meeting. B The New York postoffice is directly tY connected with the dead letter office at Washington, and those who have -never corresponded with that prosper- s ous morgue have miss?"d a good deal. E The dead letter ollice is, after all, a great boon; though it does not return sonic things which reach it. A man in Saginaw, Mich., mailed a pair of dress shields by mistake which he had bought for his wife, and though that was two years ago come July they i have never been returned. Another m ann Naohilge downn. terreoush mailed a porous p)laster which was al mos.t as .ood as new, though he has ugto an idetif itand expose the T whle vete ofthedead letter officeg t 11 he got his property back, nothing as yet been done about it. Ten years ago, there were 3,000,000 ~ letters sent to the dead letter office in b one yaof wThica ,000 had nuountrty orbtate, 400,000 lacked stamps, and 3000 were posted without any ad dress at all. Ninety-two thousand dol-p it lars in cash and over $3,000,000 in drafts were conttained in these letters. It appears that right straight thog every letter sent to the dead letter office contains "n an average $1, so i mine really fell below the average. Queer things happen to letters even when they do not get to Washington. A Wyomi ng postmiaster used to claim that circular letters, unsealed, if notb called for with a day or two, were good things to use in starting the fire. gnrldelivery, wihconstituted a t a little private dead letter office for s his own special use. One day his chil- t 4dren were playing tag with each other ta inside the postoflice and canceling each other's nose with the M. 0. B. stampj, when suddenly they decided to inves tigate the coal hod in search of adver-a Itising cards. In each of the two large b circular envelopes they found a smal ler sealed letter which had worked in by shoving a large mass of letters to- g gether for cancellation. The children t had torn these two letters open and were playing Fourth of July and Rally c< .4 Round the Flag, Boys, with a $79 t check and a $600 draft when the old L entleman looked up.

In reviewing the needs of the "New >uth," a thoughtful man soon sees at a general system of savings banks one of the most important. The fact at there are so many new ones now operation shows that the prosperity that section is on a solid foundation. hile agriculture, and that of a special nd, remained the chief industry, the attered population, untrained in hab of thrift, felt no need of a savings nk ; pennies and nickles were de ised, and dimes hardly counted worth manufacturing, giving regular week or monthly payments, and with the crease of mechanics from the North id East, came a demand for a safe ace of deposit for surplus earnings. bat this demand is being met speaks ell for the sagacity of the men who -e leading the forward movement in te South, but that very much remains be done cannot be doubted by one ho has looked over the field. The great enterprises of the country large are carried forward to a con lerable extent by the accumulated ,vings of the workingmen. If one >ubts this let him go to the savings inks of this city, with their 100,000 spositors and over $30,000,0000 of de )sits, and find how many thousands id millions of dollars have been aned to build factories, stores, &c., id how much to railroads to build teir lines ; how much to the city of altimore for paying streets, laying ater mains, &c. . The money it in savings banks is not withdrawn om circulation and hoarded in their aults. On the contrary, it is to a >nsiderable extent taken out of secret iding places and put into circula on for the most useful purposes. The iks must lend the money out in some ay to earn interest on it, and that it Lust be put to the best uses is appar it from the care which must secure ie safety of the principal as well as in rest. It is commonly thought that ew England contains the best savings inks, but in a quiet way Baltimore as developed some institutions which, ,r careful, conservative management, id attention to the needs of their >nstituents, rank with any in the >untry. The Savings Bank of Balti Lore, commonly known as "The Old ank,' being the oldest here, and the iird chartered in the United States, iting back to 1818, and now having me $16,000,000 of deposits, deservedly ands at the head. Next comes the utaw, then the Central, Metropolitan, :aryland, German, Provident and :opkins Place, all well managed and >ing much good. All except the rovident are run in one way, with ie place of business open in the mid .e of the day, all of them practically the center of the city. The Provident has departi;d radically om this plan, and the success it has et with shows the wisdom of their an, and the desirability of similar in itutions in the South. Hence, we ve some facts of interest regarding its orking. Instead of confining its place of busi mss to the center of the city, it has, in [dition to its cent-al office, seven anches in outlying sections of the ty. Instead of only being open in te middle of the day, when working ~ople are confined to their emnploment, Sbranches are open on Saturday enings after week's work is over and e wveek's wages received. Instead of clining to receive deposits less than e dollar, it provides for all by receiv g as small a sum as ten cents or as rge as. any one will offer. To enable e clerks to receive deposits of small ms more rapidly than can be done by e usual way of writing a receipt in a ok, the officers have devised a heme of stamp deposits, similar in me respects to the English postal stem,. By this plan cards are given small depositors, and adhesive amps of 10, 15 and 2.5-cent denomina :s, lithographed in wording to form receipt fromthe bank for the amount, *e attached to the card for each deposit. hen the cards are full the amount presented by the stamps is entered in regular pass-book and another card ~gun. A book opened at one branch can be posited upon at any other, and drawn om at the branch where opened, or at te central office during the week, hen the branch is not open. The ac unt books, following a system of teir own devising, are unusually well apted to accurate work. The same terest is paid as at other banks, un r the same rules. In short, there is advantage given by any savings ink that they do not give, and the nveniences of location and business urs given by them are peculiarly teir own. That these advantages are preciated, the fact of the bank hay g 6,000 open accounts in less than o years from its organization con usively proves. At two of the anches the business has grown so rge that two nights are required to at d to it, Mondays as well as Satur ys ; and at the one in the south stern part of the city, the hours from to 7 P. M. on Mondays and Thurs ys are added. The amount of good which an insti tion of this kind wvill do can hardly -estimated. The amount of money ve from wasteful spending and red into channels of usefulness ; the Fet on the characters of the deposi rs, the saving to the charitable so 'ties of the city resulting from the* e of money in hard times saved during osperous times, all must be taken o account, and then all is not un ted.I rhe branch offices are' usually in ne store occupied by others for siness purposes ; thus entailing but r small expense. Ihe value of savings banks can hard be overestimated, and this new fea e of encouraging the mechanics and orers to save little by little, and ering the opportunity of depositing ir money Saturday nights in places avenient to their homes deserves the .rmest commendation. The South mnot do a better thing for itself than enourage in every way possible the ablishment of similar institutions, in every city and town in that tion the business men ought to take lead in the matter. acraento City has voted to Florida for 5,000 wild orange ft plant them in the streets for shade es .

Waldo F. Brown in Farmer's Review. The farmer in debt must be exceec agly careful of his credit. First h hould buy on credit as little as poss le. The man who spends his none efore he gets it, is always at a disau antage, for as soon as he gets an nony some hand is reaching for i .nd he no sooner has it than it is gon think the farmer is more tempted t un in debt than almost any other mai ecause dealers arc so willing to tru. iini, for his farm is a good basis f: ecurity, and it is property which eat tot be tidden or carried away. Tli ooner you can establish the habit e iaying cash down for everything yo >uy the better for you, for if you do ti rou will often deny yourself man hings which y. can do without. i vill require lirmness and self-denial t >uy only what you can pay for, bi vithout it you are in danger of gettii nto the habit of buying on time, ani1 :eep yourself always in debt. ThIiei' tire many things which are desirable 1 iave but not indispensable, and the: ire the things which the farmer who a debt must learn to do without. It good plan whenever you reach ti: onclusion that you need to make a >xpenditure, to postpone action unt rou sleep and then talk the matt( >ver with your wife. Often a littl :ool reflection will save your incurriu debt which you will find burdenisen: ind a cause for regret. [ know a youn arner some years ago who was badi; u debt and so situated that lie mu mire all work done that he could not d iitnself, who bought a $100 fruit evap< ator in a year when fruit was pilenti few days running it with hired hel howed that he could not make e: )euses, and it was set away and has ic >een used for ten years, but during a hat time he has been paying intere in its rost. Another case which can inder my notice, was a young farni )aying $35 for a force puinp and rubbt tose to water his swaet potato bed, an inding it did not pay it was thiow: side after a single year. I could mu iply instances which illustrate th ruth T wish to eitforce which is t pake no outlay which is unnecessari >ut it is only needful to call attention t t, for the man who keeps his eyes ope vill see in his own neighborhood plent f illustrations. Another help to ge ing out of debt is to make the fart )roduce as far as possible the fanil upplies. I know farmers in debt wh lepend on the butchers for almost tih ntire supply of meat. Others wL ave large families take no pains t iave vegetables, fruits poultry, etc ind are even careless about u oistt Lad regular supply of milk and bu:te: Sow it is as easy to plan so that thei hall be a small steady income to mec .he little outgoes, and the most pr: >erous farmers I have ever known wei hose who rarely got to tow n without >ackage of hutter, a basket of eggs, son1 oultry, fruit or vegettadles to heclp 1.r he bill. There is a great failure to lih ip to the privileges of the farm as wec S to secure its profits, to the mian- w loes not look after the many snma ources of supply and income whiel e farm furnishes. The most intpo: ant advice I canugive to the farmeri lebt I believe to be to put more - bought into the work of his farm, an vhat I mean by this is, that you shoul ocide upon a plan which is adapted our land, your locality and( your ow aste arid capacity. H-aif the farm nanagenent with which lamn fanmilih s of such a character that any v ould see that it would fajil of 1,rod cause the owvners are not studyingt :now what is best for them, but oni rying to cop)y after somec one dla There is also a lack of persis(ene(y, an disposition to change the planc aanagenent too often. Th'1-ren are fes calities where sonie line oi farmrin, annot be chosen that will prov' irofitable, but in choosing we nmust ai eibertely and wisely, and havin hosen must adhere persistently to ou las. Lastly we must not grow di: ouraged if our progress is slow. Th osition of a farmer out of debt arn ith a farmi in good condition as rt ards fertility, buildings, fences, etc., ne worth a long struggle, arid I kno' .o man more to be envied than the on ho between the age of 40 and 5.', tind imelf in this condition.
