May Be Warnings.

The Anderson Mail says the most
callous and Indifferent of men must
be impressed by the great destruc-
ton Of life and property by wind
and lightning and high waters, and
involuntarily the question will come.
Why are these things permitted?
We may rack our brains for an an
swer, and there can be but one
answer: Tney are sent by the
Almighty for his own purpose. Il
may be that they are sent to warn US
as individuals and as a nation that
God reigns and his presence and his
wrath are always at hand. 1t may
seem to human minds to be terri
bic and costly method of warning,
but most of US will all too soon for
get it within short time after it has
passed. We are all hushed and
silent while the warning is upon US.
How few there are who, in the time
of storm and disaster, Can look up to
God and say: II am not afraid" !"
How sweet and restful it will be
when the storms have passed and
We can again see the SUNSHINE and

livery routes now in operation IN the
Southern States and about one. fifth
of those established in The Northern
States.
The investigation shows that routes
have been established without any
possible excuse save as matter OF
favor to members of congress, and
that money appropriated by congress
for this purpose has been expended
with almost criminal extravaganza.
On many of these routes the receipts
do not average S. month, and on
others the receipts do not begin to
justify the existence of the routes.
The Southern States which will
suffer the most from the aboliahment
of the routes are South Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Alabama. In the North, Maine,
Vermont and New Hampshire will
be deprived of about one-6fth of the
routes now in operation. Other
Northern and Eastern States will
lose routes but in mailer proportion.
But few changes will be made in
New York state.
Postmaster General. Payne said
this afternoon that no action would
be taken to reduce the number OF
rural routes until full test has been
made of each individual case and the
results noted. Then, whatever routes
are found to be unwarrapted will be
discontinued. Atpresenthe declined
to make an estimate as to the prob
able number of these routes.
