MONEY FOR THE FARMERS.

Farmers are coming to realize that
the advantages of having their own
threshers, are even greater than
that of having other farming tools.
After the work and anxiety of bring
ing the grain through to the thresh-
ing period, the farmers now stop to
consider the economy and convent
ence of threshing, or in other words
the damage and loss to them while
waiting for some big thresher to get
around, the waste made in their
hurry to get from one job TO another,
the inconvenience of having the out
fit quartered on them, and then the
high price paid for work done. 1t is
no wonder that the small threshers
of large capacity that are now made
are becoming popular.
Our readers will probably remem-
Der that we have mentioned the
Columbia" in our columns before.
This little machine is coming into
great prominence because it is small
and can easily be operated with II
small force; t~hreshing and cleaning
all grains as we'll as any of the larger
machines, and saving it all.
The adveT tiSement of the manu-
facturers who make the columbia"
will be found with the advertise
ments in another column, and we
would advise our readers who are
interested to write for printed mat
ter, which the company will gladly
send TO any asking for it. Address,

USEFUL READING MATTER.

and farmers and others who live in
the country want or ought to want
to keep abreast of the times and
keep themselves posted on current
history. A man has a mighty poor
chance to keep up with the times
who lives out in the country and re
lies on some weekly newspaper to
keep him informed on current
events. The rural free delivery
offers to rural communities the ad
vantages of cities and it seems to me
an opportunity too great to be neg
lected.
Being free as the air we-breathe,
so far as money goes, how can we
afford to oppose it? We of the South
receive very little benefit from the
Federal Government outside of the
postal service for the sums
we pay into the Federal Treasury
and should we not ask the best that
is going in this respect? We pay
thousands of dollars every year in
taxes and the North gets the benefit
of the greater portion of the money.
Let us all do everything we can to
obtain the rural free delivery SER
vice and then let US try to live nearer
up to III advantages and opportuni-
ties and be a progressive, enlight
ened people.-E. S. Millsaps.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
L am very much interested in the
rural free delivery articles in The
Progressive Farmer, and know from
experience with it along the three
Raleigh routes that it will prove of
lnestimable value to our people.
One or more new routes will soon be
established in this county by Pro
gressive Farmer readers, as a result
OF its agitation of the subject.
There is a fear in some parts of
the country that the rural free de-
livery service is only a temporary
device, and may be dropped at any
time. OF course no community that
has ever enjoyed the benefits of the
service would ever consent to abol-
ishing it, and there is nothing strange
about the anxiety that is felt by
many patrons of the rural delivery.
They need not worry, however.
Rural free delivery is here to stay,
and there is not the remotest chance
that it will be discontinued. Far
from being abolished, it is bound TO
grow until it shall cover the entire
country.
am glad to see that Congressman
Pou is urging its Importance in this
district.
A letter has just come to my at
tention written by Mr.. E. S. Millsaps

SOME MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE.
Trusts, Expansion and the Homestead Law
Discussed.

Discussed.
correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t seems to me that a larger num-
number of farmers should take adj
vantage of The Progressive Farmers
correspondence department to ex-
press their opinions and exchange
ideas regarding the questions of the
day, in a non partisan spirit.
The problem of trusts alone ought
to call forth discussion enough to
keep one page we'll filed. For my
part, 1 am sincerely alarmed over it,
and 1 think we should be discussing
ways and means of preserving our
independence. Yet the organization
of the steel trust, with a capital SO
large that if every man, woman and
child in North Carolina were to
buy $500 stock, millions would still
be left-all this has excited little
comment. But these trusts are
merely setting their traps now, and
the bowls will be heard when they
begin to make their power felt. Isn't
it time for farmers to meet at every
school house and discuss such mat
tiers? l don't think we should try to
throw the strength of the farmers
with any party, OF try to organize "a
farmers party. But let US meet and
discuss these matters in a friendly
way without discussing parties,
leaving each man to form his own
conclusion and vote as he pleases.
A bill was introduced in the last
Legislature to abolish the limit of
years in which a Judgment runs out
of date. Some of the members
wanted to abolish the homestead
exemDtion. This is a healthy sign.
There are better times ahead of US
in North Carolina. The next amend
ment to the Constitution that should
be submitted to the people of North
Carolina should be to abolish the
homestead exemption. This would
be in the interest of the poor, but
honest man. Without the home
stead exemption a poor man who Is
honest could get credit and there
would be a better opportunity for
his getting on in the world. should
like to hear from other readers on
this point.
The expansion problem is a puz-
zling one to me. I believe, however,
that it is the settled policy of the
government, that we have begun the
colonial policy, and that we shall
never turn back. In many respects,
it seems dangerous, but the good
may Outbalance the evil. In this, as
in all other matters, the hope of the
country lies in an intelligent and
thoughtful, reading citizenship.
The Correspondence columns are
open to us. Let US make use Of
them, for by SO doing we can edu-
Gaze ourselves regarding the import
ant questions that confront US.

MR.. MILLsAPs' ARTICLE.
Wake Co., n. @.

NAa A-N
As an effort is being made to OBJ
tain the rural free delivery service
for this section of Iredell county,
perhaps a few words in explanation
of the workings and the benefits of
the system will be opportune. In
the first place, as it's name implies,
it is free. It costs nothing to have
this service established further than
the boxes for the reception of the
mail, and this cost is very small.
Second, it is safe. Toe carrier is a
bonded officer who is responsible to
the government for the safe deli very
of the mail on his route. All regis
tered mail is delivered to the person
addressed and a receipt taken. The
boxes are looked and are safe from
interference, but as a receipt for
registered mail Is required the T
rier must deliver and take receipt.
The service, wherever it has been
established, has given satisfaction
in every case. The receipts in every
instance where the service has been
established, has been larger than the
expenditures. 1t dispenses with
pOstoGices and mail carriers and
saves money to the government on
these items, while the increased pat
ronage on account of letter service
adds another item to the govern
ment 8 receipts.
The government is not only will
ing to establish the rural free deliv
cry service, but it is anxious to do
So. 1t is safer to the government.
The carrier being responsible and
the mail passing through his hands
only, if anything goes wrong he and
he alone is responsible. The mail at
present passes through too many
hands and when anything goes
wrong it takes some time to locate
the responsible party. Not so under
rural free delivery. The carrier is
responsible.
Again the mail is more private.
Frequently the offices are kept in
stores where any n has an oppOr-
tunity to look over the mail. In the
rural free delivery boxes the mail is
safe from all such interference and
nothing can be known about it by
any n except the party addressed.
The route is expected to cover
about % miles for the round trip,
which is made each day, going and
returning by different roads so as to
reach more people. 1t thus doubles
the service by receiving and distrib
uting mail for the benefit of a greater
number Of people. Stamps, IN
velopes and postal cards are carried
Tor the convenience of the people
and postal money orders Ire also
given. In fact it gives to country
people the advantages of a city post
office. The rural free delivery ser
vice was adopted that country people
m ght have the advantages of city
po~stofhces.
Some find objections to the system
because it is too good a thing for
country people, al if country people
were not as good as city folks. They
saw any old thing is good enough for
country folks. Well, that is the
same as TO say they are ignorant,
and keep them ignorant. 1 claim
that nothing is too good for country
people. This is an age of progress

Omoinl Mourning Paper.

All departments Of the government
are now using mourning stationery,
and will continue to use 1t until the
thirty days of mourning for the late
president shall have expired. At first
only the executive mansion, the state
and the treasury departments adopted
mourning stationery, but President
Roosevelt ordered that all depart
ments at the capital should use the
same paper. SO great were the de-
mands of the white house, the state
and treasury departments for this pa
per that the supply in Washington
was quickly exhausted and telegraphic
orders were sent to other cities. Black
bordered paper is used for all COM
munications to the world outside of
the national capital. Such paper costs
a goodly price, and the total expense
of this government mark of respect to
the late chief will be $4,000.
