The opposition to the new mail system in
Carroll has found expression in the smashing
of four private mail boxes IN Myers district,
on route 81 The authorities are looking up
the matter and the guilty parties, If detected,
will be vigorously prosecuted. The penalty
for such an offence is very severe, the lowest
sentence, we believe, being fifteen years in
the Penitentiary. The opponents of the new
system should not take such means 20 express
their disapproval. Ii is not only violation
of private rights, but violation OF the United
States laws. Petitions for disconuuuance
Of the system is the proper procedure.

The Free Rural Delivery Does Not Fill the

Well, we have Ihroughly tested Rural Free
Delivery aud give the result without fear or
favor. Those along the roads are served rega-
larry. but even some of them have just causes
f,r complaint And those not near the road
travelled by wagon C or the carrier. must
erect boxes at distance of from one-lOurih
to two miles aud must get to the box each
day if they want their mail. no matter how
the weather is or the Importance Of duties on
hand. Is this Justice? Yes. we had only a fourth
class Office. but that supplied our hard working
farmers with news from the outside world, aud
they we're content This service will never
please the sturdy men Of Carroll, until II does
as r. F. D. implies deliver mail at every
door. Unless that is done the citizens of our
grand old county should demand il, and if it is
not granted petition the Government for the
old mail service even to sending delegates to
Washington with the petitions.
