Free Delivery I'm Rural Districts.
(Atlantn ConstltutIon.I

NsAAi0hAh RRh1NiANNiohii
What is to hinder the United States
Government from extending its free-de-
livery postal system in such a manner as
to include tho rural districts?
At the present time only the larger GEN.
tres of population enjoy the BENEFITS OF
this system. The rural districts are left
entirely without adequate facilities; and
our Industrious and Woodworking farm
ers, many OF whom live miles away from
these populOus centres. are necessarily
put to great Inconvenience. In order 20
get their mails they are frequently forced
to choose between neglectinS their crops
at a time when careful oversight is re-
quired or allowing their mails TO accumu-
late until they become too old fCf any
use. OF course, the degree OF inconve-
nience depends upon the distance from the
post-Oflice In each case.
With the extension OF the free-dellvery
system our farmers would not only be
spared much of the Inconvenience to
which they are now subjected. but what
Is even more essential 10 their interests
in this progressive age OF the world, they
would be enabled with less difficulty TO
keep up with the times III our national
prosperity depends upon the well-being OF
the farmer, how vastly important IL -
that our national lawmakers Should seek
by wise and judicious methods to ameli-
crate the farmers condition.
or course. one objection TO extending
the free-dellvery postal system, and per-
haps, the main ono. is the cost which
such a measure would necessitate In
round numbers the cost OF extending tho
system has been roughly estimated at
100000 900. These figures may be excessive.
but, even If correct. they should consti-
tute no barrier to the adoption OF mea-
SIRE which is urgently Demanded by
every consideration Of justice and
economy.
Recent Information received from
Washington states that experiments in
the free-delivery system. az applied to tho
rural districts. I'm certain localities, have
been highly successful. and that our ma
tOnal lawmakers. at the approaching
session Of Congress. will be asked 10 con-
slider the advisabiiity of extending the
present system. This Is gratifying news
10 our farmers. and the hope which It
kndles should inspire them 10 still more
Jealous efforts In the future.

saw the cotton, not one of them in his
presence gave il a favorable opinion.
The suggestion of this style of cotton
bale taking the place OF the square has,
of course, created a great deal Of in
terest among local cotton people. IL il
ever becomes the style in this section
/ Of the country, as one Of the cotton
men said yesterday, ii will not only do

buyers. local congresses, and screwmen,

having country buyers-in fact, reyolu-
tiCniZe the whole cotton business and
paralyze those branches indicated above
1t Is proposed that the hackers and pro-
moters Of the round bale buy their cot
ton direct from the consumer in the
field. thus doing away with all middle |
men. The cotton-men here say that the |
system would result eventually in the |
trust people debating terms to the pro-
Queer of cotton. They might give proba-
bly, a better price than any one else for
a year or two, but as soon as they got
control of the staple they would dictate
prices and terms 10 the farmer.
Mr.. Vincent, OF the firm of Vincent &
Hayne, who was present. said that the
adoption of that kind OF cotton baling
would throw out OF business all the 200
congresses Of the South. and would mean
a revolution-not only a revolution in a
business sense-but one In which the peo-
DE of the country will rise up in arms
against the closing up of a business

working people.

to use as an adulterant. Corn-fiour has
been sold as low as 70 cents hundred
pounds. SO that II is quite an object to
bakers and manufacturers to use 1t. The
bakers are said 10 be doing the greater
part OF the adulterating, in order to
cheaper the cost OF their flour. In the
manufacture OF crackers and that class
of bakery goods, the adulterated article
is said to be most extensively used.
The brewers figure as the largest pur-
chasers OF corn products. Corn flakes
are substituted for barley malt, pro-
ducing excellent results, while the ex-
pense OF making beer is lessened and
the process is said to be less trouble

corn is more palatable. but II is not as
