Wants Liberal Rates.


Mr. Conner then went to ask that the
railroads be as liberal IN the matter OF
these rates as possible; in fact, said thai
thev ought to haul this commodity for the
lowest rate possible as it was a producer
of tonnage. He went on to say that the
people of the state had been very good to
the railroads. They had made their tax
rate low and had allowed them TO run
freight trains on Sunday, which other
states did not do.
He also pointed out that the prosperity
of the farmer meant the prosperity OF the
railroads, and that the money given IN oe-
creased rates only went into more ton
tilizers and the production OF more ton
mage of a higher class. He also said that
the concessions made by the railroads IN
Georgia to build up the waste places had

RURAL fREE DELIVERY.
Five Routes Projected in BraIos County
-Four out OF Bryan.

Through the effort Of I. r.
Bate & CO., BRACES county is in a
fair way to have Eve rural delivery
mail routes in operation before a
great while. Lists have been cir
culated and the requisite number
of signatures required have been
secured by Prof. Joe MCGEE for a
route north OF Bryan, and by j..
A. ID. Robinson for a route north
east out of Bryan. Levy Battle he
circulating list for route south
east out of Bryan, V. r. Hardy
for one southwest to Bates Ferry,
and Jack McGregor for one west
out of Millican.
The lists when procured are sent
to Congressman Field, and by him
forwarded to the proper division
Of the postofiice department at
Washington. II approved, the
department appoints rural route
agents, and the people along the
routes get their mail at the door.
The system will result beneficial
ly, not only for the convenience of
the people, but will turn loose some
money for salaries. We ought to
have the routes, and it seems that
we are in a fair way to get them.
