The pay Of the rural delivery carrier.
has been slightly increased, but not
that Of the Star route. If the Govern
ment is too poor to pay for this service
it should abandon it, 1t is passing
strange to as that Mr.. Southall doesn't
make fight for the man who carries the
mail from Lunenburg Courthouse to
Burkeyille under very great stress and
at starvation wages. Don't let as be
satisfied to say again that he took the
JOB Of his own accord and at his owu
figures. The Government ought not
TO allow man TO make a fool Of him
self. II the facts Of this particular case
were plainly stated to the authorities.
at Washington, we verify believe the
Government would no longer indulge
"benevolence' abroad and cruelty at
home, would abandon the canal project
until it had done its duty 10 its own
citizens No thoughtful man would
undertake 10 carry the mail from
Burkeville to Lunenburg Courthouse
daily for less than five dollars day.
The carrier now doing the work re-
ceives about one-fifth of that. 1t is
a burning shame There is a remedy /
and il should be applied.

To handle their own grain through their

hoe their own rows regardless Of the

The cotton growers, our able con-
temporary urges, may do just a. the
grain growers have done, and 30. we
add, may the growers Of tobacco do also.
Our neIghb0r goes one step further
and suggests that farmers Of neigh
borhood might unite their forces and
touch elbows In common cause just
as men in other branches Of industry
have done. The Herald has long since
urged cooperation on the part of those
who work the soil. Make il general,
earnest, effective and they are sure to
win. The fact is they could starve the
lest of the world into a state Of AFFECT
surrender.
There is room enough in this wide,
wide world for merchants, manufac-
turers and farmers too, but there
