GEORGIA LEADS
SOUTHERN STATES
Receives 100000 Annually
For Postal Service.
A Washington speciaI gays:-

A Washington special says
1t costs Uncle Sam over So, 000,-
600 a year to maintain that part
Of the postal service which is in
the state of Georgia. The larg-
est item of this is for the rural
free delivery service. There are
now in operation in the state
1,445 rural routes. Under the
new appropriation law there will
be 5000 a year paid to every
carrier on the standard routes of
the state-routes that are "A
miles long, These, in connec-
tion with the shorter routes. will
make the average annual sala-
RES of the carriers about $3.50 a
year. Therefore it will req lire
about 81, ,228,0OO a year to pay
them.
Then there are some 400 rail-
way postal clerks who live in
Georgia. Their salaries will
average at least $1,000 a year,
or $4,000 in the aggregate.
There are about 800 clerks in
postoffices and their salaries will
average about 5000 a year, or
$500, 900 in the aggregate. The
$50 letter carriers in the cities
and towns Of the state will re-
ceive an average of about 5000
year salary or 1925, 900 in the
aggregate. There are some
1000 postmasters in the state,
and their salaries will probably
average $3.50 each, ranging
from the one who gets S8 a year
from the cancellation of stamps
to the pay of the Atlanta post
master. whose salary is So, 900 a
year. These aggregate salaries
and commissions amount to
something like S54O, 900.
These figures take no account
of the money paid for the opera
tion of star routes, nor of that
paid for railway mail pay, nor
for rent, materials, etc.
Georgia gets the largest share
of the postal funds paid out to
any southern states.

OF Interest to Grocery
men.

The following is copy of the
new Mississippi law, of interest
to grocerymen, requiring that all
packages of flour, meal, ETC., be
labeled:
'sThe correct name and the
true net weight of the contents
of each and every hogshead, bar
rel, box, cask, bale, sack or
package of flour, corn meal, cot
ton seed meal and of any and all
other kinds of feeding stuff made
from cereals of any kind, wheth-
er pure, mixed, or adulterated,
and whether sold in single
packages or lots, shall be plain
ly marked, branded or stenciIed
in large, legible letters and fig
ures, upon the exterior Of such
hogsheads, barrel, box cask, bale
or package, and it shall be un-
lawful for any person, firm or
corporation or the agent, en-
ploye or representative of any
person, firm or corporation tc
sell or exchange or offer for sale
or exchange any of such mil
products, so packed or contained
until the provisions hereof have
been complied WITH"
The above is section 5075 o
the new state code of 1906. The
next succeeding section, 5076
relates to the sale of adulteratee
mill products, and reads as fol-
lows:
cit shall be unlawful for any

tive of ano person, firm or cor,

Resolutions of Respect.

We are called again to mourn
the loss of brother.
A beautiful life chastened with
temperance, supported by forti-
tude and directed by prudence
and guided by justice has ended.
One symmetrical in all its pro-
portions has closed.
Full of energy, intelligence,
integrity, activity and usefulness.
and loved by all for his moral
and social virtues was our
brother.
Brother L. w. Payne was born
May 215t, 1855, and by the dis
pensation of Divine Providence,
was rem oved by death from our
midst on the 18th day of Febru-
airy 1907.
Whereas the Almighty has
seen fit to say to our beloved
brother, at the sclose of a well
spent life, "It is enough; come
up higher"
Therefore be it resolved, That
while we humbly and resignedly
acquiesce in this decree as the
fiat of an all wise and just God /,
still We deeply mourn the loss of
our beloved brother; a bright
and faithful member of our lodg o,
a pillar of strength and light TO
the fraternity, whose life was
fruitful of a good work for the
Master in the church of which
he was a member.
Whose social walk was radian
and refining, elevatlng, beauti
flying, and adorning influences
in all the relations of life.
Resolved Second,
That we tender to the sorrow
ing family of our deceased broth
or that consolation and sympa-
thy, in this crisis of sore afflic-
tion, which sad hearts alone can
offer and comfort them by di-
recting to the assuring hope of
the reward that awaits life so
we'll spent.
Resolved Third,
That as a tribute of respect
and in token of our brotherly
love and esteem for our deceased
brother we wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved fourth,
That copy of these resolu-
tions be spread upon the minutes
OF the lodge, that a copy be sent
to the Columbus papers for pub
lieation and a copy be sent tc
the family the deceased.

The only thing that can be
said for a scurrilous sheet hail
ing from Tupelo, under the lying
head Of Reason, is that it's
author is ashamed of his own
production No name appears
as editor or publisher. What
are the civil authorities doing
that such gross vulgarity can
circulate? Two men III Carroll
ton were placed in iaiI for a less
ofense. The wonder is, who
hopes to aid the Governor am
bition TO ride into another Office
on such coarseness. Verify the
former campaign for the govern

whirlwind. Since then there
have arisen those who seem to
think that the utterances of Var
