TO PROBE MAIL CARRYING.

Senator A. S. Clay has introduced q
resolution to probe mail carrying by
the railroads.
One of the heaviest burdens the
treasury has to bear is that for trans
portation of the mails. Since the ex-
listing law was passed, way back in 1873.
there has been no reduction whatsoever
in the rate per pound paid to the rail-
roads in mail pay, although there has
been very material reduction in pas
senSer and freight rates since then.
1t is also claimed that the govern
ment, under the present system of
periodical weighing, which determines
the pay to the different railroads, is
charged with a great amount over and
above what is actually carried. At
times, it is claimed, when the weighing
is on there has been a padding of the
mails. Upon different occasions this
has led to disclosures approaching scan
dial.
In order to get at the facts, Senator
Clay introduced a resolution directing
the postmaster general to inform the
senate the amount paid each year to
the railroads for carrying the mails,
beginning with 1874; how much per
pound the government has paid for
theirl service; the number of pounds
carried aaob voor or rofbar ,,o;J 60.
and what, if any; reduction has been
made in the rate paid railroads also
how often the mail has been weighed
and what methods are used to ascertain
the average amount carried without
the railroads knowing that the test
weighings were to occur so as to pre-
vent the railroads from defrauding the
government.
The postmaster general is especially
directed to inform the senate if it is
not true that during the period since
1874 passenger fares and freight rates
have been reduced approximately, if
not quite, so per cent, while the gov
eminent is paying the same rate paid
at the beginning of that period. This
year the government must pay the rail-
roads $50 600 900 for the transportation
of the mail. The total has more than
doubled during the last eight years
In addition to this enormous sum. the
government pays the railroads $1,000.
900 annually for the rental of mail cars

Odd Notice in a Prominent Southern
Paper of Interest to Marietta,
Residents.

One of the best known newspapers in
the South is the "Guide" of Dunn, N. c..
Its publisher, J. P. Pitman, sends us
the following clipping with request to
publish:
Foundry the Editor Of the Guide,

est praise OF its remarkable power co
cure and relieve catarrh of the head
and throat. This mention is made not
as an advertisement, but in the inter
est of those who suffer the torture of
that terrible disease, catarrh."
In sending the clipping, Mr.. Pitman
wrote the following letter:
Il enclose little piece from my
paper, issued today You will see from
this that l desire to push the selling of
Hyomei as far as possible. am using
it in. my own family, and find that it
gives the desired relief, so that / take
pleasure in spreading far and near the

rh."
G. M. Crosby & Co., in preparing for
the catarrhal troubles of this season of
the year, have ordered large stock of
Hyomei, and sell it under guarantee to
refund the money if it does not relieve.
The complete outfit costs but 81, and
extra bottles can be obtained for 50c.
Ask them to show you the strong guar
antee under which they sell it. This
remarkable remedy medicates the air

Every child born into the world
has right to clean bill of
health. 1t has right to be well
born. to have d sound body. good
blood and q fair degree of brain
capacity. Many lives are doomed
to perpetual and hopeless suffer
ing because parents fail to recog-
nize this high claim. An eminent
medical authority states that if
there were to be one half the per-
,centage of loss in calves and colts
that we calmly foot up as Infant
mortality" there would be legis-
lative commissions and scientific
Investigations to know the reason
and the remedy. Every child has
u right to a clean name. Many
children are born under social
conditions that effectually handi-
cap them in the race of life. No
mai has a right to crush upon his
tender and helpless offspring, who,
unfortunately cannot choose their
own parentage, or the burden of a
disgraced name. An honorable
name Is moral health and COM

Women Healthier Than Men.

Since more boys than girls are born
IN the countries of western Europe, the
proportion being 1,04O to 1850 boys to
every 1000 girls, how can we account
for the fact that there are more women
tina &snen in these countries? To this
question NJ. de Narigny, a French sci
enlist, replies ut length In leading
Paris paper since there are more
women, although more men are born, y
he says. I'VE must conclude that more
men die than women because they are
not as healthy. There is no other so
luton, and, moreover, all the obtaina-
BILE facts point in the same direction.
More boys are born than girls, yet
there are almost always more girls
alive than boys. Many persons think
that the principal reason why more
men die than women is because they
lead Incorporate lives; but, though
there may he some truth In this, ii can
not be the sole solution of the prob
lem, as the mortality among males Is
greatest during their early years. be-
fore they know what vice or intemper-
ance means"
