DON'T LIKE
SOME FEATURES.
Rural Citizens Not Altogether
Pleased With the
RURAL FREE DELIVERY IDEA.
Nail Boxes, which People Are Compelled
To Provide Themselves With, Cost
From One To Three Dollars
Many Kin is.

AS has been the case the country over,
the people in the little villages through
the section of Stark county in which
rural free delivery has been established
have set up howl over the discontinue
ance Of their village postofiices, that
followed the introduction of the free
delivery system.
The discontinuance of their country
postoffices is not the only complaint
of these people, however They do
not like some of the features of the
mail box system which is introduced
there. At place called Rhodes post
office, two and one-half miles southwest
of Massillon, on the Pigeon Run road,
the residents are kicking vigorously
The government has abolished the post
office at Rhodes and the people must
either put out boxes or 60 to Massllon
for their mail. There are about 20
houses in the town. The boxes cost from
81 to So, and the carrier insists that all
the people whom he serves must buy a
mail box. All the boxes have the same
kind of locks. The postman opens the
box and places the mail inside 1t, Instead
of there being a slot in the box. All
keys are exactly alike, and, therefore,
anyone can unlock his neighbor's mail
box. s"''
They have G. church and school
house at Rhodes, and feel rather too
big and dgnifled to be treated that way
by the government, therefore they have
sent a protest on. They declare the
postmaster at Massillon has arranged
the delivery route in the interest of The
Massillon postoffice.
At Westbrookfield, two miles west of
Massillon, there is trouble brewing,
also. About 500 people live at West
Brookfield. There is one long street,
running along the state road. This state
road is traversed by the mail carrier
the cross roads are not Travelled by him.
On the cross roads, back from the main
highway, many farmers have their
homes, and they are asked to put mail
boxes on the state road-where there Is
no protection for them at all. Some of
the farmers declare 1t will be as far to
their mail boxes as 1t was to the post
Office, before.
AT West Brookfield the people are even
more indignant than at Rhodes. They
cay the rural free delivery is for farm
ers and not for villages with 500 or 300
thing about the mail pox plan when they
signed the petition for rural free deliv-
cry. and claim they were given to under
stand the delivery would be a regular
city free delivery-that their mail would
| be delivered to the door.
1t is also stated that the carriers route
in this district is too large, and he will
| soon have to have an assistant. The
West Brookfield district alone, 1t is
claimed, is enough for one man. This
| carrier however. has 25 miles to cover.
On one trip this week he delivered 1900
pieces of mail
At the Canton postoffice 1t Is stated
that the rural free delivery routes are
| constantly growing. Since the estab-
| lishment Of the four routes Of rural de-
livery from this Office the amount of
matter has doubled along nearly every
route

Negro Thought To Have Been
Murdered and Put On
Locomotive.

Akron o., Oct. SO.-A. ]. McMIchael
Of Marion, was taken off the pilot of a
Baltimore & Ohio engine last night in
q dying condition, expiring in a few
hours at the hospital. It is supposed
that he was struck by the train while
walking on the track.
McMlchael had been working here
about four weeks. He was a negro
and had a wife and four children. A
theory is advanced that he was muir
dered in a tough portion of the city
known as the Old Forge and paced on
the engine When last seen he had
about S25 in his possession, and there
was only five cents in his pockets when
found.

EARTH IMPROvERIsHED by THE SEA
youths Companion.)

A muddy river betokens one of the
greatest of national losses. 1t means
that the rich soil, which Jack Frost
AMI other national agencies have been
ages in forming, is washing away into
the ocean, Tillers of the land could
do much to prevent the loss by keep
ing the ground and hillsides covered
with trees or with sod. 1t is the cul-
tivated field on a slant which washes
away most rapidly. 1t is contrary to
public policy, or at least to the welfare
of the future, that the top-soil of such
land should be sent down to the ocean
when 1t might be yielding grass crops.
Many rivers that are now muddy were
clear before the coming to this con-
tinent Of civilized man.
