More than than 1900, 900 American
farmers now have the benefit of the
rural free delivery, and the amount of
mail they receive has been more than
doubled since the system was adopted.
During the past year the system cost
the government about 1924, 700, 900, and
with this amount the postoffce depart
ment has been able to give excellent
satisfaction. There are still 700,O 900
square miles not covered by the rural
delivery system. To accomplish this
work it will require the employment
of 10000 to $4,000 carriers in addition
to those now employed, making the en-
tire force when the extension is COM
pleted about 400, 900. The department
expects that this will be. accomplished
within the NEXT tlree years.

Unlce Sans biggest amy is the

more than seventy thousand, exceeding
by twelve thousand the officers and
men of the regular army Of the United
States. The extension of the rural
free delivery has occasioned the dis
continuance of nearly 1900 fourth
class postoffices during the last year,
and the new Offices created do not
offset the losses.

good.
Farmers are prospecting for new
crops, and oking after hands, which
are hard to get 1t seems like farm
labor has scattered off hunting for bet
ter positions. 1t may be better for
land owners to let their land lay out,
and cultivate the best spots in corn
and other produce that will do to live
on. Cotton raising to an excess has
been ruinous to our country.
A steamboat passed this week going
up Pearl river. 1t is said the boat be-
longs to DR.. Grant There has been
a great deal of talk and some steps
taken to clean out the river so the
boats could run regular. 1t probably
will be done i'll the near future. 1t
would be great thing for the Pearl
river people in getting their cotton
hauled to market.
Rains have been quite frequent
81 nee January set in, and the roads
are getting fearfully bad. Roads
have been neglected in this part of
the county, but very little work hav-
ing been done OH them. A better way
to have good roads would be to lave
them worked by contract.
Some suggestions are being made of
the coming election. Gus Long is be-
ing largely solicited as candidate for
supervisor. Mr.. Long is we'll inform
and would be suitable man for
clle office, but it is not known whether
ne will be in the race or not, he has
not expressed himself.

one side and down the same murder
Gus incline on the other. There have
been numerous wrecks and much loss
of life at this place. Only two weeks
ago, Engineer Averill, a brave young
man lost his life in a terrible wreck on
one of these grades, and on Tuesday
Engineer Bob Dougherty gave a less
tragic illustration Of the stuff that
finds it's home in the cab. Dougherty
was running the lead engine Of dou-
BILE end freight train, which stalled
just before it reached the top Of the
grade Then it began to roll slowly
backward. Everybody on the train
was aware of the fact that there was
another train behind and everybody
but Dougherty and two or three OF the
crew jumped from the train. Gaining
slowly but steadily the train went
down the grade at a terrible rate, and
1t looked as If wreck and collision
were the only possible outcome. But
because he did not jump, Dougherty
averted the disaster. He succeeded In
checking the train so soon as 1T recov-
cred from the momentum Of the grade,
and when it came to standstill, the
freight that was following was only a
hundred yards away. Dougherty, OF
course, would have been justifiable In
leaving his post. Because so many
engineers have been killed here 1t
looked like suicide to stay; but had he
jumped there is no reason to doubt
that the bloody grade would have add
ed other names to it's list Of victims.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The First National Bank Of York
Vile has received telegram from the
comptroller Of the currency authoriz-
ing it to commence business.
The stores Of J. M. Heath & Co.,
and the livery stable of the Heath Ell
liott Mule Company, which were closed
on account Of the death and burial OF
Mr.. ]. NJ. Heath, were re-opened today,
and will continue business as usual.
Mr.. w. B. Moore has taken trip
to the western part Of the state for the
purpose of investigating the cheese in
dustry in that section. He believes
that the profitable manufacture OF
cheese is possible in Yorkville and he
wants to look further into the matter.
1t was thought that when the
Southern railroad should get control
of the South Carolina and Georgia Ex-
tension, Yorkville would get the bene-
fit Of the same freight rates that are
enjoyed by Rock Hill, Chester and 9TH
er towns. People who are directly
concerned, however, claim that there
has been no improvement in the situa-
tion in this regard and that the town
is Disseminated against as heretofore.
The matter is important and the peo-
pie are entitled to, know the reason OF
this condition of affairs.

DEATH OF Mr.. HEATH.

The interment of Mr.. J. M. Heath,
whose death was announced last Tues
day, took place In Camden, the home
of Mrs. Heaths people on Thursday,
the remains being accompanied to that
place by a large delegation Of relatives
and friends from Lancaster.
Mr.. Heath did not die under a sur
gical operation as was assumed on re-
ceipt Of the first news Of his death;
but died before the operation was at
tempted. Upon his arrival In New
York, it developed that the surgeon
who was to have charge Of the case
was away, and upon his return the
sufferer had passed beyond the reach
of his skill.
A delegation of half dozen York.
VILE citizens started to Lancaster
Wednesday to attend the funeral; but
on reaching Rock Hill they learned
that the train upon which the body
was to arrive. could not be expected
until late in the night on account Of
wreck up the road and several members
of the party returned. Messrs. j. l..
Williams, J. c. Elliott, B. N. Moore and
w. B. Moore, Mrs. T. M. Dobson and
Miss Maggie McFadden went on to
Lancaster.
