Whv Our Mails Are Late.

Throughout the lower South there is
universal complaint on account of de-
1ayed mail
Why not pay some attention to the
facts which the Jeffersonian Magazine
published months ago?
One of our correspondents a citizen of
Atlanta wrote us most convincing ex-
PLANTATION of the cause of this delay in
delivering Southern mail.
The Southern Railway brings this mail
to Greensboro, N. c., where it is dropped
off for the night, and is picked up next
morning by another train and carried on
to Atlanta.
If the Southern Railway were required
to take the mail on to Chester, S. c.,
where it could be transferred to the Sea-
board Air Line, there would be saving
of nine hours of time in getting the mail
to Atlanta.
To accommodate the Southern, and to
allow that road to get all of the appropri-
alton for the service-inc1uding the extra
subsidy steal-the people of the lower
South have to lose nine hours, even when
the Southern's trains are on time-which
is mighty seldom.
Can not Southern Congressman do
something about it?

FALLS CITY, Neb., Sept. 2S.-(Special)
An explosion Of an Oil stove caused con-
sideable damage at the home OF Henry
Bean in the east part of town Sunday
afternoon. Mrs. Bean, who Is an invalid,
was sitting I'm an inValid's chair near the
stove at the time of the explosion and
was severely burned, especially about the
face. She was wearing a celiuloid back
comb at the time, so her hair was almost
completely burned. Mr.. Bean was badly
burned in carrying her to a place of
safety. 1t Is thought, however, that both
will recover. The room in which they
we're sitting is a total wreck, hut the
rest of the house was not damaged 10
any great extent.

friends wish to send him 70 q sanitarium.
lie Is now at his home, 211 South Twen-
tieth street. and out Of danger.
Or. Boveland's discourse had chiefly con-
cerned itself with the subject Of divine ten
derness, particularly as eNempiified in the
love OF a mother for her offspring. He
quoted the tale by Victor Hugo, OF the
rambling hoy, who had stumbled upon the
frozen form OF a mother, who had shielded
her child from the cold with her own
clothing and her barred body. As the boy
reused the infant, It gave vent to a plain
tive cry. Its mother, Of course. heard
1t not. THAT mother. said Hugo, must
have been very dead"
The text Of the sermon was from the
sixty-sixth chapter of Isaiah. las a mother
comtorteth her children, so will | comfort
you" DR.. Loveland's chief thesis was,
that a religion which did not centralize
upon a loving and beneficent deity would
be rejected Of men and deservedly so. He
concluded by saying, Beloved. you can
trust a God who made a good mother
1t was announced during the service that
subscriptions to the current expense fund
of the church had been ample and would
leave a balance, after ali obligations had
been met.
Prospects are excellent for the sending
of Felix Blankenfeld to a sanitarium.
Not more than $3.50 or 800 at the least,
Is necessary to give the old musician a
chance to r%ecuperate mentally as well as
physically at some institution. The offer
ing at the First Methodist church was an
nounced by DIR. Loveland Monday, as SIS.
This is not An inconsiderable sum for the
collection taken was the second Of the
service, and many members of the con-
gregation had, according oNthe custom.
brought to church only the sum they ex-
pected to put in the regular offering. Dr..
Loveland received word during the day
that several former pupils Of the old
teacher had had their attention called to
the work and were going to subscribe. It
Is hoped to send B~laRkenfefd to a s~anitar-
ium for four or five weeks. 1t is believed
a stay of this length will be sufficient
to restore him to coed health and to re-
newed ambitions.
