rHE RURAL MAIL sERVlcE.

Southern representatives in congress are
mainly responsible for the rural mail SER
vice which is growing so rapidly in favor
and is already so well established In
the regard of the country.
This great provision for the conven-
fence and benefit of. the people who re-
southern men when it had hardly any
support from others.
The rural mail service has come to be
a big business and there is a strong de-
mand for its extension.
About 1890 carriers are now employed
and the superintendent estimates that 40
900 viii be needed to make the service
practically complete. The gross cost Of
rural free delivery throughout the coun-
try is estimated at S24.OO0000. A deficit
OF from eight TO ten million dollars IN
this service for two or three years may
be expected, that Is to say, = deficiency
OF from four to six millions in excess OF
last year. But II is practically certain
that when the system is completed 1t viii
pay for itself.
The government should not hesitate to
extend the benefits OF the free mail de-
livery and collection to theNpeople in rural
districts. because the service win not at
once pay its expenses.
II has been the policy for many years
TO keep the postal service up to a grade OF
efficiency beyond its income, but IT has
been found that a rapid growth OF reve-
nue. invariably results from this liability,
so that \ continuous Improvement OF the
service is possible.
The quality OF the service Is kept up to
such a very high standard that nobody
objects to an annual postal appropriation.
No tax is paid more cheerfully than this

cEoRcIA's PROGRESS.


The recent remarkable material prog
ress of Georgia, as shown by various Of
fetal reports that have been submitted to
the legislature at its present session, has
attracted much attention throughout the
country.
The Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more, which keeps track Of the onward

issue:
"Comptroller General william A,
Wright, Of Georgia, In his report to the

esting and valuable figures showing the

OF the whole taxable property OF the state

This HONOR Is eEoReIA,s.

The latest issue of Golfers Weekly con-
tains an interesting illustrated article on
New York's new chamber of commerce,
the finest structure of its class in the
world.
It gives a general description Of the
building and bestows well-deserved praise
upon it.
But Golfers Weekly makes a statement
which is Incorrect and grossly unjust
when it says: The material Of which the
new structure Is constructed is white
Vermont marble. with a base Of white
granite"
The material of which the New York
chamber of commerce Is Constructed is
white Georgia marble, quarried and I'm
ished In Pickens county. 1t was chosen
after comparative tests with Vermont
marble and other famous building stones,
because OF its demonstrated superiority
and that is how Georgia marble has won
its many illustrious triumphs in all parts
of the country.
It can be seen now in many splendid
edifces from the far northwest to the
extreme east, having invaded Minnesota
on the one hand and Rhode Island on
the other, and having been chosen, in
spite of state pride. as the material for
the costly and magnificent new capitols
OF those far distant states.
Georgia marble has won many victo-
ries Of late,> but wants due credit for
them all, and Golfers Weekly owes her
an apology.

THE GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.

The strength which the Socialists have
developed in the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at New Orleans
is merely one of the rising evidences Of
the growth of socialist principles in this
country.
The elections held a few weeks ago
gave very impressive report on this
subject. 1t now appears that the full
returns from these elections will bring
the total Socialist vote up to something
like $4,000. OF these from 1000 to $1,000
were given to the Socialist labor party.
The rest belong to the Socialist party,
which is the outgrowth Of the Social De-
mocracy founded by Eugene V. Debs' in
1900. The New York branch of the party
still calls itself the Social Democratic
party.
The Socialist vote increased largely but
by no means so notably as in some other
states. 1t increased in Massachusetts
no less than 800 per cent. over last year.
The Socialist vote was only 5000 in
Pennsylvania in 1900. This year 1t went
considerably over 10000. In Ohio the So
cialist vote reached 1900. an increase of
more than 200 per cent; Illinois cast

two years ago; Kentucky shows an in
crease of about 400 per cent; Iowa $50 to
200, and other states a corresponding in
crease.
The growth of Socialism in this country
undoubtedly is due to the increase of plu-
tocracy and monopoly.
1t is a natural result of the growing be-
lief that great aggregations of wealth.
powerful corporations with special privi-
leges, trusts and monopolies have ac-
quired a power which is ininnical to the
liberties and rights Of the people, and
that the government does not restrain
these influences and agencies within pfop-
er limitations of law.
However much we may despise Social
ism there is no escape from this con-
clusion.

at about 10000. though $1,000 new cars have
been added during the present year, the
companies saw in the situation a fine OPP
portunity to make an advance OF rates
which could not well be resisted.
1t was polite stroke to increase wages
just before raising rates, but, in view of
the fact that the public is being made to
foot the bill and at the same time contrib
ute an even larger amount to the profits
of the railroads. we fail to see where the
unselfshness OF the latter comes in.
The raising of wages by this system is
one of the best-paying schemes the rail-
roads could work and we do not wonder
that they resort to it of their own accord.

VOTING MACHINES.


The idea OF registering votes by ma
ehinery. which was ridiculed when first
proposed. has been put into practice in
a number OF localities and is growing
rapidly In favor.
Several styles Of voting machines have
been offered. and the latest patterns
represent great improvement on the orig
inals. These improved machines were
used most satisfactorily at the recent
elections In New York and Milwaukee.
They were found to operate with re-
markable ease and accuracy.
Five machines were used in New York
and seven in Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Sentinel states that the
machines gave entire satisfaction and
that probably 100 win be ordered for use
in the next election. "Rapidity and ac-
curacy," says The Sentinel, were the
chief characteristics noted by the cleo
ton officials, anu the ease with which
the voting proceeded during the day led
all who watched the machines work to
express themselves in terms OF the high
est praise. One OF the features that ap-
pealed the strongest TO the election Of
ficials was that the vote was already
cast up and totaled for them the mo-
ment the last vote was cast, and the hour
for closing the polls arrived. In most in
stances Il took less than two minutes 10
open the back OF the machine and count
I'D the total votes for all the candidates,
and. instead OF being kept until or
O'Clock In the morning to count the split
tickets. the officials were able to close the
booths and get down town before the
first returns had been received from any
other precinct In the city or state"

NEGRO Observation-Disclosures.

It is a noteworthy fact that the popular
branch OF thu Georgia legislature. when
X had under consideration = few days
ago the bill for the protection OF the
secrecy OF the ballot. voted down by an
overwhelming majority an amendment
proposed by a very popular member, the
avowed object OF which was to disfran-
chise the great bulk OF the negro vote in
this state.
This was not the first time that the
dislnclination Of Georgia to follow the
line which has been taken by six other
southern states on the franchise question
has been made evident.
Three distinct and energetic efforts have
been made in three different Georgia leg
islatures before the present one to sub
NIT to popular vote a scheme Of negro
Acknowledgement similar to that which
Mississippi. Louisiana. South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia and Alabama
have adopted.
Not one OF these attempts received any
considerable support. In fact, every one
OF them was overwhelmingly defeated at
the very first opportunity; not one OF
them received the support OF as much as
one-tenth OF the members Of either house
OF the general ASSEMBLY,.
Why Is Il that the idea OF negro dis
reimbursement. which has proved so ire
sistibly popular IN six states Of the south,
has failed so completely in Georgia? The
main reason is to be found In the fact
that the relations between the white peo-
pie and the negroes of this state are re-
markably friendly and that the white peo-
people Of Georgia feel no need Of such a
constitutional amendment
The average Georgia negro has lost all
desire to dabble in politics. He is getting
along better in this state than he ever has
at any previous time since his emancipa-
ton and he knows IL.
He trusts hts white neighbors and finds
that It pays him better 20 follow their lead
than Il did to do the bidding OF the car
pet baggers. scalawags and Freemen's bu-
reau agents who deceived and swindled
him and his ancestors just after the war.
The prevailing opinion among the white
people. OF Georgia is that the best thing
to do with this question OF negro disfran-
chisement is TO let IL alone. They do not
believe that white supremacy would be
made more secure in this state BY vir-
tually decreeing it in a constitutional
amendment and they see no reason for
agitating the question and causing the
imitation that might result from its sub
mission to the people.
BY this time 1t must be clear TO the most
persistent advocate in Georgia Of the dis
reimbursement on the plan which our
friends I'm several other southern states
have adopted that the people OF this state
DO not regard it as either necessary or
desirable for cur protection and welfare.

RAILROAD RATES AND WAGES,

II seems that the recent raise of wages
for which a number OF great railroads
have been so highly praised was by no
means such an exhibition OF generosity as
IL was at first supposed 70 be.
II appears. on the other hand. that this
voluntary increase OF wages was only
the prelude and excuse for raise of
freight rates that will make this joint
transaction immensely profitable to the
railroads INDUCING in it. In other words,
they have levied upon the public an ad-
ditional tax that will pay the increase of
wages and also add very largely to the
profits OF the railroads. For instance, 1t
is stated that the increase in wages which
has been made by the Pennsylvania rail-
road will amount to about 5000, 900 annu-
ally, and that the increase in the rates
OF freight will bring into that roads treas
ury about s10,0OOO00 a year.
