In a statement Clarence Poe.
chairman of the committee, said1 he
did not think that it could fairly be
charged that the members of this
committee were cranks and profes-sional
agitators, especially since the
leading cotton mill men of the state
readily agreed to their proposals.
Mr. Poe did not think that the com-mittee
needed any defense, and gave
it as his opinion that the program
as agreed upon would go through
the legislature without any diffi-culty.
He thought the book, "The
Child That Toileth Not," misrepre-sented
the Southern farm and farm-er-
more than anything printed in
many years. Secretary Swift wired
that many other manufacturers than
those named by Mr. Poe as attend-ing
the meeting in which the legis-lation
was agreed on were in favor
of it. Those who attended the meet-ing
held last spring were W. A.
Erwin, D. Y. Cooper, Ceasar Cone,
W. Entwhistle, R. S. Steele, Eugene
Holt, Thomas P. Webb, Frank Bor-den,
W. B. Cole. W. H. Williamson,
James V. Williamson and Julian S.

Ben Clapp was-arrested Saturday
by Deputy Marshal R. L. Blaylock

He gave a bond of *500 for his
appearance next week for trial. He
is also under a $50 bond with the
state for trial next Saturday on the
charge of assault.

by parcels post and with parcels post
stamps.
Another regulation which will be
rigidly enforced is that all parcels
sent by i ost must bear the name and
addres.s cf the sender on the outside
cover with the. word "From" preced-ing
them.
The new stamps were put on sale
yesterday. One may mail any pack-age
of merchandise which does not
weigh over 11 pounds and the com-bined
length and girth of which does
not exceed 72 inches. As an exam-ple:
You may mail a map which is
five feet in length and is rolled up
so that 'he circumference of the roll
will be one foot. This measurement
would be 60 inches long and 12
inches in girth, or the limit of 72
inches, ""he only other conditions
against such a package are that it
does not weigh more than 11 pounds
or that it be not of such nature as
to easily cause injury to a carrier.
These regulations would bar the
cooking stoves, vicious dogs and
other such parcels which have been
the bane of life for "Parcels Post
Pete.''
All through the country the postal
officials are waiting for a material ex-pression
from the people as to what
proportions the use of parcels post
law will increase mail quantities.
Whatever the answer will be they
will be ready to meet the demand for
service.
The rates for carrying of parcels
post are divided into 9 classes, graded
according tc the distance the mail
must be conveyed. This extends
from the local rate, that matter which
only passes through one postoffice
and is marked for delivery in *he
city or on the routes out of the city,
to the rate for 1,800 miles for the
eighth zone and all over that limit
for the ninth and last. The highest
postage one can pay on a parcel sent
by mail will be $132 and the cheap-est
will be one cent. Packages un-der
four ounces in weight will cost
one cent oer ounce no matter what
the distance of the'.r destined routes
may be, and packages weighing more
than four ounces up to one pound
