Important Notice to Subscribers! Attention Is Directed to Postoffice Order, Number 90T The new regulations provide that "A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to secure renewals of subscriptions, but unless sub? scriptions are expressly renewed after the term for which they are paid, within the following: periods: ? Dailies within three months, Tri-Weeklies within six months, Semi-Weeklies within nine months, Weeklies within one year, Semi? monthlies within three months, Monthlies within four months, Bl-Monthlies within six months, Quarterlies within six months, they shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers, and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at the second-class postage rate of 1 cent a pound, but may be mailed at the transient second-class postage rate of 1 cent for each 4 ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed. The right of a publisher to extend credit for subscriptions to his publication Is not denied or questioned, but his compliance or non-compliance with this regulation will be taken into consideration in determining whether the publication is entitled to transmission at the second-class postage rates." The DAILY PRESS comes under the classification of a daily publication. Subscribers will kindly be guided by the above ruling. The DAILY PRESS COHPANY with other publishers enjoys the second-class mail privilege and if postage is affixed to paperssame will amount to more than the subscription price of the paper. There is, therefore, but one thing for subscribers to do, and that is to keep their subscription carefully paid up. This Ruling Goes Into Effect April 1st, 1908, Consequently All Subscriptions Must be Paid Up Before That Time Let us have your renewal at once. You will not wish to miss any papers, but if we do not have your renewal we will have to out your paper off the list in order to comply with the postoffice order referred to. DAIL*V PRESS, : Newport News, Va. CORPORATIONS' GROWTH Vast Possibilities of Interna tional Trade Largely Re? sponsible for Truste. "The days When business was a lo? cal affair of individual with individual vitro iho days -when people were scattered, knowing little of each other and having uo dealings with each oth? er outsido the radius of a few miles," says Appleton's Magazine. "Then steam and, later, electricity came Into man's service; and then by leaps and bounds, the possibilities of trade be? came extended to a radius of hun? dreds of roller, even of thousands of miles. Vnst possibilities of Interna? tional trade loomed up.

The only bridge that con span the ocean ia the cor? poration. Th2 real cause of tho cor? poration was not so much the selfish alms of a few men ns the Imperative necessities of alt men. "The first stage of corporationism was one of conflict?4he old destruc? tive competition carried forward tin? der the new business forms.

The fighting be ram o faster and nioro furious, and the war in commerce became a hand to-hand conflict. The trenches were, being filled with able, splendid men who fell In the colossal struggles. Cut rates and rebates became the order of the day. Many railroads and many houses which had been successful in legitimate lines of business went down In bankruptcy. I^abor suffered an.l the public suffered. Tho cost of doing business steadily increased; for war costs money. It 'became imperative that something tie done to end tho havoc.

A Georgia Picnic at the End of War. j "General Elzey loirt his ambulances,! and wp had a charming little picnic | under tho managomont of Captain! Hardy," writes a Georgia girl In her I war time diary, published In tho April Appleton's. "We left town at seven o'clock, before the sun was too hot, and drove to a creek ten miles out, where wo spent the day In a beautiful grove, so shady that the suu could not penotrate at noonday. General El? zey and nil tho staff were there. Our amusements were cards, fishing In the creek, rambling about through the woods, and sitting in little circles on the grass, talking about what wo are going to do under tho new order of things. Some comical pictures wero drawn of our future occupations, and we guyed each other a good deal about our prospects. I am to take In washing; Mett. to raise chickens and peddle them in a cart drawn by Dixie; Captain Erwin Is to join tho min? strels, and Captain Palfrey to bo a dancing master?but down In the bot? tom of our hearts we felt that thore Is likely to bu little occasion for laughter in the end. "The drive home was rather hot and dusty, and our enjoyment was damped by the sight of the poor soldiers that wo met, trudging along tho road; they looked so weary and ragged and trav clstalncd. Many of thorn, overcome with fatigue, were lying down to rest on tho bare ground by tho roadalde. I felt ashamed of myself for riding when they had to walk. These are the straggling remnants of those splendid armies that have been for four yearn a terror to the North, tho glory of I the South, and the woudcr of the world." Two Breaks With One Stone.
