The free delivery system is a settled
tact. The Hon. H. G. Ewart was told bv
Mr.. Wanamaker, the postmaster general,
that the system will be introduced here.
Mr.. Chas r. Darby, the postoffice in
spcctor, of Washington, d. c., was in the
city yesterday, and said ~ shall recon-
mend TO the department at Washington
to have the free delivery system estab-
lished. If Asheville was dead CITY like
many Others in the South, would not
be in favor of this step. but it is grow
ing city. Many buildings are being
erected and everything points to con-
t1nued, steady growth and a rapid in
crease in point of size and population"
Both the postmaster, G. w. Cannon,
and the Inspector Mr.. Chas. Darby state
that the system will be in operation bv
the 10Th OF January. There will be five
letter carriers employed to distribute and
collect the mail. The deliveries will be
made at a. m, p. m, and p. m.
There will be special collections of the
mail matter at S.15 a. m. and 11.3O a.
m. Altogether there will be five collec-
leCtlonS, as the letter carriers will collect
the mail from the letter boxes when they
make their deliveries. The number of let
ter boxes stationed in different parts of
the city will be thirty, of which the fol-
lowing are the probab locations: Two
on the public square and one at the Bat
terry Park, the Swannanoa, the Grand
Central, the corner of Patton avenue and
and Haywood, Patton avenue and
Grove, Patton avenue and Roberts, Hav-
wood and Academy, South Main near
TrcXer's, South Main near Patton's,
North Main and Walnut, North Main
and Woodhn, North Main and East.
North Main and Seney, Wood6n and
Bridge, WOOdfn and Charlotte, Woodfn
and North Pine, Charlotte and CLAYTON,
Charlotte and Baird, Patton and Spruce,
Poplar and South Pine, and Bailey and
Phillip streets. Other letter boxes will
be put up in different parts of the city as
public demands require it.
The carriers will be recommended bv
Postmaster 6. W. Cannon, and ap-
pointed by the postmaster general. He
assures us that he intends to have
good, efficient force, and all who know
him will place perfect reliance in his good
judgment and his ability to carry on and
manage the system, when once inau-
2urated, according to the best interests
of the public.
The free delivery system will cause a
few changes in the present rates of post
age. All local mail must have a two
cent stamp instead of the one cent stamp
which was used when writing to a per-
son in the same place. All daily papers,
when distributed by carriers, will be
taxed at the rate of one cent per copy
and all '"eeklies at the rate of one cent
per pound. This is the only part of the
expense which will fall on the citizens as
Uncle Sam will foot tn rest of the bill.

THE THREE AMERICAS.
Comparative Areas of the Central
and south American Countries.

/ Cleveland Plain-Dealer; The coming
of the delegates to the Pan-AmeriCan
congress makes it pertinent to remind
our readers that Centra! and South
America embrace an erea Il little greater
than twice the extent of country i'll the
| United States and Territories, and a
population of about 30, ,0OO, 900, or about
one-Sixth smaller than the population Of
the republic.
Mexico covers an area Just about equal
to that part of the United States east of
the Mississippi river, exclusive of the
States of Louisiana and Mississippi, and
has 10000, 900 inhabitants.
The five Central American Republics of
Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras,
| Nicaragua and Salvador cover an extent
of country about the size of the five
States Of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan and Illinois, and have popu-
lation equal to both New York and In
diana.
Brazil's area is somewhat greater than
that OF the United States, exclusive of
| Alaska, and her populationis is about that
Of NV York. Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The Argentine Republic, with about
half the area of the United States, has Il
population not quite as large as PcNnSyl-
vania.
| Colombia is nearly equal in extent to
New York, PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, with Il
population probably little less than
that of New York State
Bolivia's territory is somewhat greater
than that of the Atlantic States, Penn
svlvania, Ohio and Michigan, and has a
population about indiana 5 figure.
Peru is little larger than the Atlantic
States and Pennsylvania, and her popu-
lation is about that of Illinois
Venezuela is larger than Peru by about
as much territory as is embraced in New
Jersey, and her population is about equal
to lndiana'S.
Ecuador could contain Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Illinois, but
her population is not quite up to that
of Michigan alone,
Chilis domain cut up would make
States as extensive as Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana. Her population is some
what greater than that of Indiana.
Paraguay is big enough to include
Ohio and New York within her borders,
but her entire population scarcely ex-
ceeds that of Cleveland,
Uruguay is not quite as large as Ohio
and Indiana combined, and just about
the same number of inhabitants as
Brooklyn, n. y.
The Guianas are English, French, and
Dutch colonies. British Guiana, twice
as large as Ohio, has just about the pop
ulation OF Cleveland. French Guiana,
somewhat larger than Ohio, has about
as many inhabitants as Toledo. Dutch
Guiana, nearly as large as Pennsylvania,
has no more inhabitants than Columbus.
