THE same law that regulates the
price of wheat should influence a
young mans choice of an education.
A literary education is a luxury
and is all right for those who can
afford it, but our agricultural and
scientific colleges train our young
men to do the work that the world
wants done and is willing to pay
for. The president of Harvard col

A GREAT advance will have been
made when the free rural mail de

the nation. 1t will mean that the
day when the farmer was an iso-
lated member of society is past, and
will bring him i'll close touch with
the world. He can have his daily

which, under existing conditions,
each patron mas to travel to receive
his mail, and shonld be accompa-
MED, wherever possible, by a rough
map of the route or routes proposed.
ut must be borne in mind that
the intention of Congress in author
izing the free delivery Of mails in
rural districts was not to grant a
suburban delivery to cities included
i'll the Free Delivery Service, nor
to establish village free delivery.
The purpose of the Rural Free De
livery System is to give postal facil-
tiles to those who have none; to
carry the mails daily to remote rural
communities, the residents of which
would otherwise have to travel from
two to twelve miles to receive their
letters and newspapers.
The roads must be good This
is an essential prerequisite to any
investigation.
No route can be established that
is less than from twenty to twenty
five miles in length or which serves
less than 100 families.
The route should be so arranged
that the carrier will not be required
to travel over the same ground twice
OIL the same day.
Those desiring the delivery must
be prepared to put up, at their own
expense, at some convenient loca-
cation which can be reached by the
carrier without dismounting from
his buggy, appropriate and secure
boxes for the reception of the U. S.
mails.
Rural carriers are not required
to deliver mail to houses standing
back from the main road. The ser
vice is one Of mutual accommoda-
ton, and the patrons are expected
to meet the Department half way
in affording facilities for its estab-

For Rural Free Delivery.

At its meeting held last Tuesday
evening, the commercial club took
up the question of rural free deliv-
cry, which system IS being estab-
lished by the postofice department
III SO many places, and it is prob
able that at least three routes will
be run from Pullman. To obtain
this free delivery, it is necessary
that petitions be circulated, and
signed by those who desire the ser
vice, and each route must be not
less than twenty nor more than
thirty miles long Three such
routes, with sufficient population
along them, can be laid out from
Pullman, and the commercial club
will at once have the petitions sign
ed up. One route as proposed will
lie esst of Pullman, another will
take in the Union Flat country. anc
the third will run in the Whelar
and Guy neighborhoods, each route
being so laid out that the creates
possible number Of people will bt

How we have Grown in a Century

HOW we nave Grown IN Century.
The actual increase Of population
III the ten years is about IS, 225, 900.
The rate of increase in the period
from 1880 to 1890 averaged about
~ per cent. each year The rate
for the past ten years has been
about ITO per cent. annually.
This diminution i'll the rate is, in
considerable part, due to the dinit1-
ished volume of immigration. The
individual effectiveness of the Am
erican population is 50 high that,
III respect to material resources and
power, it will be conceded by every
one that the United States is we'll in
the forefront of the nations. The
structure of the British empire is
such that, i'll a comparison of popu-
lat1On, commerce and other Stats
teal data, there is no more reason
for adding Australia to England
than for adding Mexico to the
United States. Our population at
the beginning of the nineteenth
century was, in round figures, A.

actly the same population at that

idly for four decades, Ireland since
I845 has declined steadily, until
now it has a population of about 1, :

So when John Chinaman appeared at

Do you play cards?"
No, I Clistian man."
He was employed and give great
satisfaction. He did his work well,
was honest, upright, correct and re-
spectful. After some weeks the lady
gave "progressiye eucher" party

Chinaman was called upon to serve
the party, and did so with grace and

Rural Free Delivery.

Orangeburg Patl lot.
The rural free mail delivery ls
evidently a greater achievement than
we opce thought, judging from the
eacerness of different claimants to
pet the credit Of it's establishment,
although we believed from the first
that it would bring more tangible re-
suits and more actual public service
to the masses of the people than any
other public measure passed by Con-
gress in many years.
Several papers in the State have
published an article signed by zone
Who Know" giving Congressman
Latimer large credit for the establish
ment of the rural free delivery sys-
tenn and recently Congressman Nor
ton has been reported as claiming
the honor of establishing the system.
The truth cf the matter is that DR..
J. Wm. Stokes from this District
deserves the honor and the distinc-
ton of having carried the measure
successfully through Congress al
though he does not claim to have
originated the scheme.
Others in previous years tried and
failed; but DR.. Stokes took up the
work and prosecuted it with such
ability and persistence that be sue
ceeded in having the system put IN
operation. Doubtless other Congress
men from this State and other
States co operated with him, but he
was the recognized leader and cham
pion of the measure. To sustain
our contention we quote the follow
ing from Congressman Gliggs, one
of Georgia's ablest representatives,
who published in an Atlanta paper a
complete history of the rural mail
matter. Mr. Griggs says: The
next year 1885, Congress gave $780,,
900 to continue experiments in this
direction. My recollection is that
the Department asked for only $780,
900, and tne Committee recommend,
ed that amount on the flor of the
House. Hon. J. VIM. Stokes, oi
South Carolina, fast friend of the
former, moved to make it 100000
and it passed in that shape"
This ought to show that DR.. Stokes
is the one people should thank fol
the successful elimination of the
free rural mail delivery. moreover
be had the service extended and sp.
piled along all star routes through
out the State, beginning July Isl
inst. The people along these routes
are already erjoying the benefits o.
