GOING OVER THEIR ROUTES.
Carriers Who VIII Deliver Mali In the
 County.

Carriers who are to be employed in the rural free postal delivery, which Is to begin November 15th are now engaged in looking over their respective routes in order to familiarize themselves with the roads and the farm houses. Several rural postoffices will be discontinued on ac- count of the free delivery, among them being spalding. Clay. Powderly. Merkel. Platt and Ayres.
 It Is well for persons living along the new postal routes to bear in mind that 1t is needful for them to procure mail boxes to be put up by the roadside at points most convenient to their houses respect lively.
 Boxes are supplied by authority of the postofnce department, and they cost two to three dollars each. Canvassers are now in the county showing samples of boxes and samples may also be seen in the Birmingham postoffice. United States law protects the boxes; the lowest fine for any unlawful handling of a box be- ing $20o. That Is United States law, of which a much more wholesome dread 10 entertained than of Alabama law!
 The United States Weather Bureau will supply farmers with weather forecasts by means of the rural delivery.

HAVING CEASES
 AT WEST POINT Superintendent Mills Shows That Discipline is Good FIRM MEASURES ADOPTED Not One Case of Maltreatment of New Cadets Has Occurred During
 the Summer Encamp-
 ment.
FIRM MEASURES ADOPTED

Washington, October 24.-1he most im- portant feature of the annual report of Col. A. L. Mills, superintendent of the Military Academy, relates 10 the meas ures taken for the suppression of haz- ing Treating of discipline, he says:
 ''The discipline of the corps of cadets has greatly improved during the year, and is now in an excellent statc It is believed no military body of It's size exists which excels 1t in soldierly appearance, and in the perfection of drill and military exercises, as we'll as In the higher re- quirements of devotion to duty This sat isfactory condition has been attained by firm adherence to the measures adopted during the past three years to create among the cadets higher soldierly re- gard for their obligations, In particular those pertaining to hazing.''
 He then reviews what has been done, mentions the criticisms passed upon the academy, the measures taken to stop hazing and adds:
 The Summer Encampmeht.
 Throughout the past summers en- campment, which Is the time when new NaoStS oi . bCihh thfttntON iheo tAOW life. and when hazing is ordinarily prac- ticed, it is a fact that the great najori- ty of cadets have exercised the new or- der of affairs and regulations loyalty and willingly. Not one case of maltreatment of a new cadet is believed to have oc- cured, none have been required to per- form services Of a menal nature for old- CT cadets there has been no pre-ar- ranged fighting and new cadet training has made exceptional progress.
 "One cadet was severely punished for giving an unauthorized and absurd order to a new cadet, and another for exceeding his authority as a drill master over them. The action of the latter is 1t Is believed, through excessive zeal rather than hazing spirit. Another reform has also been accepted--the abolition of what is known as official hazing. or the harsh and nagging tones of tho cadet instruc- tors over new cadets and cadet officers exercising authority, and the substitution therefor os methods more appropriate for the training and education of young men to command in an American army.
 Reforms Are Important.
 ''The reforms that have been indicated mark an important era in the history of discipline and military instruction at the academy. Diligence and discretion on the part of the responsible officers will make these reforms permanent without in the slightest degree marring the perfection of drill, appearance and discipline. The custom among cadets of settling disputes or difficulties among themselves by pre- arranged and often brutal fist fights is over, and there need be no apprehension that the stoppage of such affairs will in any way impair proper habit of manly seif-defense against personal assault or insult"

 was practicable or possible With the later experiences of the war, after we got hold of colliers that were very much better fitted to resist shock, as well as to deliver this coal rapidly, with that ex-
 perience l might have coaled on days of worse weather. We had great many ac- cidents about which no mention has been made because they came after the period of time. One of the colliers had to go to New York absolutely smashed in. The Merrimac had several holes punched through her. and my impression now is a portion of the upper works of the Stera ling were injured in some way, but we managed with more experience to do little better than we did at first. There was always at Cienfuegos a rolling swell,
 and vessels with projecting sponsons or projecting guns were always in danger. recollect in one case later, one of the e-pounder guns on the Brooklyn was bent at an angle of 30 per cent by coming in collision with one of these colliers.

 Continuing the admiral said: ''If any of us at any time made mistakes during the campaign of Santiago or elsewhere 1t was in supposing that the Spaniards would ever do right at the right time.'
 At this point Admiral Schley described the movements of his squadron about Santiago, saying that he had concluded that the move eastward to be unwise. It would not have been wise to uncover Santiago. The military importance of that movement would have been to guard the westward. as that would have been the only place they could have gotton in behind. As those in the interior had an absolute control of the entire lines our movements every minute of the day were known in Havana, and have often been surprised that Cervera did not leave Santiago when left Cienfuegos found out afterwards that he did not do 1t simply because he could not and therefore we did not suffer any, Relating the facts of the breaking down of the collier Merlin ac on the even- ing of the 18th. Admiral Schley said that his first determination had been to have her lowed back to Key West by the Yale, as he did not consider 1t desirable to have an unmanageable collier with him in case the Naemy should be encountered "It then occurred to me-" he said, that if we did send her to Key West with the Yale and she was overtaken we probably would be out collier and the Spanish force. if they were outside, would be In so much coal"

original and that all other so-caled esTaste-
