you would be surprised" said a
man the other day who is well posted
in tho goings on in the farming COM
nuniticS i'll southern PcnobScot county,
"to see how many farmers have
moved to this part of the State from
ArOOstook county and elsewhere dur
ing tic past few years and have pur-
chased farms and settled. posi-
lively know of over 80 men who have
moved into this section during the
past two years" the man continued.
His explanation in his own words
was as follows: "a large majority Of
the farmers who have moved into
Newport, East Newport, Plymouth,
Etna. Stetson. st. Adams. Dexter,
COrinna and various other nearby
towns are those who have made a
good bit of money in Aroostook by
scientific potato growing. They have
gotten perhaps well along in years, or
some of them have. at least, and be-
ing tired of hard work on q large
scale have sold their places for big
prices and have come to this part
of the State where real estate is not
so high. invested a part of their coin
i'll farms and settled down to live out
the remainder of their lives in peace
They have also learned by experience
that most any of the above mentioned
places afford better and more easy
access to the markets than does any
town in Aroostook at the present time
and this has had something to do with
their changing their places of resi-
dence.

RURAL DELIVERY
MAY BE CUT DOWN
what is Said in Washing
ton OH the Subject.
NOT ENOUGH BUSINESS.
An Instance Showing the Average Pieces
of Mail Handled to be Below
the Average Expected.

Washington, March 26. - Some Of
the officials of the post office depart-
ment some time ago were somewhat
nettled at the reports published in this
correspondence that they intended to
discontinue rural free delivery routes
which did not handle as much as 1000
pieces of mail month They were
nettled especially because in that same
letter | called attention to the fact
that the operations of this rule would
affect routes principally in the South,
where the number of negroes on the
routes who do not use mails very much
caused the average number of mail
pieces to be low. The number of mail
pieces handled on the routes in South
Carolina, according to the figures of
the department, averaged 2,40O pieces
month. In North Carolina the aver
age is only 1000. So stirred up about
this report were the officials that they
issued special statement to the pa
pers of North, Carolina where portions
OF the story were copied, with view of
modifying the impression.
Representative Finley, who is a MEM
ber of the house committee on post-of-
tices and postroads, has just received a
letter from Mr.. DeGraw, fourth assist
ant postmaster general, confirming that
report. He gives a specific instance of
the cutting off of routes or the disposi-
tion to do it, "You will Observe" saws
the letter, after giving the number of
mail pieces handled on routes in York
county, "that the amount of mail
handled on these routes is far below
the average per route, 5000 per month";
and below the minimum which it is
thought route should handle per
month, 1900 pieces"
The letter notifies Mr.. Finley that
two more routes in Cherokee county
will be established, completing the
county system of that county. Mr.. De-
GraW says concerning Cherokee county
that the records show that during the
quarter ending December 81, 1905. as
compared with that ending June so,
1908, there has been a material IN
crease in The amount of mail handled
on the rural routes OF Cherokee. 1t was
IN view oil this improved condition that
the two new routes were established
and the county system perfected.
Inspections have been ordered of the
routes IN York county and the number
of pieces of mail will be counted The
department states to MIR Finley that
the object of this is TO "ascortain the
cause for the adverse conditions on
these routes, and if possible, increasing
their patronage Pending reports
from these routes the department will
hold up other applications for other
routes in York.
Moral: The country people of York
and people everywhere on rural free
delivery routes had best take newspa-
papers and write letters to folks or
send out their bills through the mails.

ATTY. GEN. GUNTER
DIED AT BATESBURG.
After Months OF Suffering, Career of
Brilliant Young Lawyer and State
Official is Ended.

Columbia, March 26th. Hon. u. X.
Gunter, Jr., attorney general of the
State of South Carolina, died yester-
day at the home of his father, Mr.. U.
x. Gunter, at Batesburg. Mr.. Gunter
had been i'll since last June, but he
made gallant fight against dissolu-
tion. The flickering spark glowed
brighter at intervals only to be dimmed
again by the hand of the dread disease.
The end had been expected hourly, but
for over week a powerful constitu-
tion and an almost supernatural will
power stayed the approach of death.
U. K. Gunter, Jr., was young man
of real ability and sterling qualities.
He was but thirty-fiveByears of age,
but in that time had risen to the ex-
allied position of Attorney General of
his State, and he has filled that office
with ability and honor. He was a
worker-some say plodder, but in this
world it is most often that the plodder
and the toiler wins the laurels. For
more than ten years / have been in al
most daily association with u. x. Gun
ter, first as private secretary to Gov
ernor Evans, then as assistant to At
torney General Bellinger, and then as
Attorney General, and in all that time
he has been the perfect gentleman, the
loyal friend, the transformations plod-
der, the advocate of the poor and UNI
fortunate, and the faithful official, Mr..
Gunter was the sort of friend worth
having. He never pushed himself nor
did he care for glory. The knowledge
of duty we'll done; of victory was all
he sought.
