The Rural Free Delivery.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

IL euo IIuiLUI VI TIC OISp6tCE.
When do you think our free de-,
livery business will be better?
Though you are net in it perhaps
you don't know it's workings. We,
here in the free delivery business,
feel it and know its effects. When
we had post Offices We had no trouble
getting eff our mails, especially regis
tered matter, now when we want
to send money, We must 60 to the
railroad to do it, spending at least a
half day to send off perhaps one dol
lar. Our store men tell us, toe, they
never get their bills before their
goods have arrived at the depots
Now, Mr.. Editor, how do you think
you would like it? Another thing.
If we want to get mail off in haste,
We can't do it, as the mail we send
today don't get from the starting poilt
until tomorrow, and mail coming to US
don't reach US until perhaps the third
day after its arrival at the starting
point, it matters not how important.
Again, if this be a free delivery
why not deliver it to everybody in.
stead of just a few Individuals inside
its route; others about in wooden
boxes about their places. I think it
should be delivered at every family's
door if possible. II this is not done
it's no free delivery.
notice some who receive their
mail at their doors are very much
pleased with the system, and no
doubt if the delivery was more gen.
eral the system would be satisfactory.

All that is mortal of William II.
Ellerbe, twice Governor Of South
Carolina, now rest beside those of
his kindred in in a little country
graveyard near Sellers, in Marion
county. Comparatively unknown
outside of his immediate neigbbor-
hood at the commencement Of his
political career, Governor Ellerbe
was called from active fam work 10
serve his State as Comptroller Gene
raj at the heighth Of the political rev.
olution that was then sweeping over
the State, but such was his fairness,
his business principles and his sound
Judgment in administering the affairs
of his Office that he soon VOL the
confidence CT those who had business
with him irrespective OF facslonal
affiliations. When called to assume
the helm of State, Governor Eller5e
carried with him the best wishes OF
the good people of the State for a
| clean and conservative administra-
ton. He did not disappoint these
who trusted him. for never was q
better aud more honorable n
given to any people. 1t is true that
politicians in both factions were dis
appointed, but that disappointment
| arose from bitterness and anger be-
| cause be would not be guided by
their advice in tie discharge of lis
| public duties. His whole ambition
seemed to be to reconcile the differ
| ences between the two factions Of
his party, to heal the breach existing
among the classes which threatened
to overwhelmn the State in a meal
| strom of ruin, and to be the Gov
ernor of the whole people Of the
State. How he succeeded in these
noble desires impartial history will
| record. But death has cut him down
ere he had reached the zenith of his
usefulness and plunged the whole
State into the sadness and grief Of
the darkness of mourning. 10 life
he was a God fearing and God loving
Christian. In the discharge of his
every duty he was conscientious and
firm, after having first convincing
himself hal he vas right he could
not be turned by the requests of
friends nor the threats of enemies.
Sound, practical judgment marked
his every act and all that he did was
what he conceived to be for the
best interest Of the people whom lie
loved. But God has seen fit in his
inscruitable and unerring wisdom, to
call him from the trials and trouble,
the disppointments and orrows of
this life, into the joys and happiness
and the sweet rest in that land Of
never ending day. Governor Eilerbe,
if we remember correctly, is the first
Governor CT South Carolina who
has died while in Office.

ceased Chief Executive. In this
graveyard are inferred a number Of
the Ellel be, Godbold and Haselden
families. These families are among
the oldest in this section, and this is
a community of relatives, the land
hereabouts being nearly all still in
the possession Of the descendants of
the Revolutionary stock. The es
tates of Governor Ellerbe are them
selves quite extensive.
The house where Gov. Ellerbe
died is not his home, but it belongs
to his younger, brother, Cash E!ler-
be. 1t is the old family homestead,
and the G. vernon died in the room
where both his father and mother
died. It was his wish that it should
be thus, and when he was brought
here a few weeks ago he was taken
to the old home instead of his own
house, which is a mile or so further
from Sellers. Governor Ellerbe had
however, recently bought a large
tract near the homestead, and it was
his wish to erect thereon a house
near to his fathers home. That
wish, like SO many others dear to his
heart, was never fulfilled, for Fate
decreed that disappointment should
be bis lot in death as in life.

Charles Dickens delighted to tell sto-
ries Of John Forster the writer and
editor with whom he was much assocf-
ated. Mr.. Forster had so peremptory
and so decisive manner that it Inn
pressed all who came in contact with
him. His servants were kept in per-
feet and almost abject submission to
his wishes, and yet he showed many
kindnesses to them, and they were
greatly attached to him.
The story runs that on one occasion
a cabman called at the printing Office
and was unable to give the name Of
the person who had ordered him to
come at certain hour, without fail.
The Office porter asked for descrip-
tion Of his fare. and the cabman stated
that he was "a stout gentleman" To
this the porter replied that there were
several stout gentlemen in the Office
and inquired whether this one was tall
or short.

returned the cabman. II don't take

without hesitation and found he had
made no mistake. When the story
leaked out, nobody enjoyed it more
than the "harbitrary cove" himself.
