FREE RURAL DELIVERY.

The need of better mail facilities in
the country districts has led the postal
authorities to adopt in certain thickiy
settled sections the free rural delivery.
1t is costly and has not for that reason
been generally introduced. 1t seems not
to have given satisfaction where tried.
The Christian Sun says:
1--WE notice that some Of our
North Carolina exchanges are
having a great deal to say
lust now about free rural de-
livery" and some of them speak hope
fully of it's establishment in certain sec
tions of the State within the near flu
ture. 1t has been our privilege recently
to travel through section in the Valley
of Virginia, contiguous to Harrisonburg,
where they have this system already es-
tablished, and, if the system as carried
out there is a fair sample of the Tree
rural delivery, and we presume that IL
is-we advise our people to have noth-
ing to do with it. Those who live inn
mediately on the road along which the
carrier goes do not specially object to
it-in fact, many of them favor it, but
from what we could learn-and we en-
uuired pretty closely into its workings
those who live off of the route from
half mile to two or three miles are a
unit against it. They say it is a failure
and a farce They have to stick up
their little mail boxes along the mail
carriers route, and then go their mile
or two every day to watch the boxes
until the carrier comes along, or run the
risk of somebody's meddling with it be-
fore they can go for their mail. When
we left the Valley, about month ago,
the people in the free delivery districts
were kicking against thessystem with
all their might, and were getting up
large petitions asking for its discontin-
uance."
We had hoped great things from the
rural delivery, and hope that the postal
authorities can devise some system by
which the people of the country can be
given better mail facilities. 1t is, of
course, not to be expected that any sys-
TEN can be devised which will give as
good service to farmers not living on
the main line of travel, but some meth
cd of supplying them from common CEN
tres ought to be adopted which would
remove the objections referred to by
the Christian Sun.

INEBRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition Of the nervous system. The
victim Of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise If he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so cOngested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
Epond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness Of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
