Rural Free Mail Delivery.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Mr. Jack, postmaster at
Sewell, has received from the Government
the necessary paraphernalia for operating
the new system on July 1. The people on
the route are loud in their praise of Mr.
Jack for the interest he has manifested in
securing this new system.
He has purchased the property where the
post office is established, remodeled the
same, having newly papered and painted
the interior. There are few, if any, coun-
try offices that have so commodious and
convenient apartments for the necessary
business of a post office, as well as the con-
venience of its patrons. No loafng or
lounging will be allowed under the new
regime, and lady or gentleman can enter
the office and receive the same prompt
attention as can be had in an office of a
city Of the first class. This in itself is
cause for the community to be thankful.
This, like other successful undertakings,
has caused the spirit of envy to crop out,
and now the object has been accomplished
would like to work some scheme to wrest
the laurels from our postmaster by debating
to the government and showing the officials
how it would have been better to have the
distributing Office somewhere else; but,
thanks to the wisdom of the officials, they
have given the mischief-malers to under
stand that they are working for the interest
of the community and not individuals.
The boxes on the new route will be
placed in position at once and the carriers
rehearsed for their new positions.

Another County Road Completed.

On the invitation of Freebooter Usinger
of Logan, a representative of the DEMOCRAT
was present at the inspection of the new
county road in Logan Township Saturday
afternoon, then completed by the Delaware
Granite and Construction Company, of Will
mingtOn, Delaware. Besides the committee
Of the Board, Messrs. Miller and Hoffman,
there were present, State Road Supervisor
Budd, Engineer Carter and Supervisor
Usinger, number of the members of the
Board and several prominent citizens,
among the latter being ex-Freeholder John
Pierson, yet hale and hearty in the 9th
year Of his age, Mr.. Gaskill, ex-
Judge B. S. Cox, Geo. H. Platt and John
S. Truitt
The Committee and officers had COM
pleted the inspection before the guests ar
rived, but a stage load took drive of
several miles over the road before the din
ner hour.
substantial dinner was served at
Sharp's Hotel, after which the party as
sembled in the parlor, where the report of
the inspection and approval by the officers
of the Board was read.
The contract requires a. depth of eight
inches, yet the examination showed an
average u6ptu Vi lille INCHES, anu III no
place was the depth of stone less than 81
inches. After the report had been read
Road Commissioner Budd complimented
the contractors on the excellency of the ma
terial and construction throughout. He
said the stone was much better road ma
terial than the samples submitted, and he
considered this road the best stone road in
the county, with the single exception of a
small piece in the village Of Swedesboro
He said the counties of the State that
could be reached by water were fortunate
in being able to secure such material with
out the expense of railroad freights, and
he considered road built of this material
far cheaper than either gravel or shell
road. This fact, he said, in conclusion,
should be made known to the authorities of
the counties Of Camden, Salem and Cum
berland, the two latter just entering upon
system of county roads. a
The final and full report of the committe
on this road will be made to the Board next
Thursday with recommendation for the
payment of 95 per cent. of the contract

Carpenter Street School Commencement.

The commencement exercises of Carpen-
ter street school were held in the M. Z.
church last Friday evening, the edifce
being crowded with friends and patrons Of
the school. The exercises were in charge
Of the principal OF the school, Mr.. Morgan
F. w Dickinson, assisted by David Fisher,
teacher of the primary department. The
program included twenty-five exercises,
many of which were delightfully."- rendered.
Miss Helen Irwin Smith, graduate from
this school into the high school, read the
graduation essay, entitled NThree Views, I"
a thoughtful and entertaining paper on
three steps in school life.
At the close Of the program Messrs. Mad
den and Livermore of the Board of Educa-
ton made brief addresses complimentary of
the occasion. Supervising Principal Frey
in responding to request to speak, said
Taking for my authority the Rev. DR..
Mayo, / congratulate you in that history
does not record any other people or race
having made so much progress in any three
hundred years as the colored race of the
United States. A standing so high in the
scale of progressiveness must not give you
the idea that you can afford to relax in
your efforts. There is an immense work to
be accomplished. Ignorance prevails too
strongly; and ignorance causes a person to
be beseiged by an army of evil under the
four generals, of Superstition, Shiftlessness
Vulgarity and Vice.
Education is necessary not only for the
rebuilding and maintenance of a good
character, but also for success in the strug
gle to obtain material things. A few years
ago, Dr. Harris, United States Commits
sioner of Education, discovered that the
earnings per capita in Massachusetts is
nearly double the earnings per capita of the
whole United States This discovery is
verified by the chief of the Massachusetts
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Remarkable
is this fact when it is remembered that
Massachusetts, has always been the cham
pion State in public instruction. Capitalists
from the North have endeayored to take
advantage of the cheap labor of the freed
men Of the South by establishing factories,
but it was found that cheap labor proved
ignorant labor, and skill was not attain
able as it is in the New England States.
'sThis is strong evidence We must con
clude that education increases the product
i've power of person. Many machinist
has wasted both time and money because
ignorant of simple law in physics many
dressmaker has blundered and wasted
goods because ignorant of few simple
facts of geometry. All other things being
equal, an educated man will use saw
with more skill than an uneducated man. y
He urged the boys and girls to gain
knowledge, and through knowledge gain
the one thing so much neededa high
degree of skill in common labor.
Revs. W. H. Wilmington, of the First
Ward A. NJ E. church, and J. T. Ham
mond, of the Carpenter street A. M. Z.

R. R. Improvementg at Camden.
