RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.--The Wash
ington correspondent OF The State says
that Representative Stokes has made q
special visit to the post Office depart.
mont to look after the bidding on star
routo contracts in South Carolina. Ii
will be remembered that for the frst
time in the history of tho country the
experiment Is making for the free de-
livery OF mail along star routes, and
south Carolina is the STATE selected for
the experiment. 1t was selected in
recognition Of tho efforts OF Represcn.
tativc Stokes, the originator Of the
system.
Gen. Shallenberger expressed great
satisfaction at the results OF the bid.
ding so far as ascertained. They fully
verify the claim made a year ago In
the House and in the department that
the system could be put into operation
at little II any increased cost; and 1t is
only question Of short time when
free delivery will be extended to all
the %, 600 routes in the United States.
There Is also reason to believe that
the proportion Of local bidders who
have captured contracts direct from
the government Is much larger than
heretofore, and this result Is attributed
to u systematic effort last summer to
arouse interest in bidding among tho
local contractors and sub contractors
all over South Carolina. Congressman
Stokes was in correspondence with
every contractor la the State giving
Instruction and suggestion.
