the AUTHOR or FREE RURAL DE-
LIVERY.
The CAUCASIAN has received O
letter from q subscriber, from which
we make the following extract:
81 was at the Letter Carriers
Convention at Durham and heard
the speech Of Mr.. Mangum, In which
he said that North Carolina deserved
the credit for the establishment Of
the present popular and fast growing
Free Rural Delivery system. He
said that 1t was Senator Butler, Of
North Carolina, who was the author
Of the law that started the great sys-
tenn. This speech was published in
the Durham papers, and suppose
In other State papers. / have never
seen any statement In any paper
denying or correcting the same, but
recently [ heard Republican who
belonged to the crowd, and who
does not like the Senator, say that
| it was not true. Can you publish
the facts from the official record?
ut seems that we have class of
Republicans that hate Senator But
Ter for the same reason that the
Simmons Democratic machine does,
and 1t Is that they fear that If he
had his way that the Republican
party would grow and carry the
State"
In answer to this inquiry we
have to say that the provision pro-
vidipg for the establishment Of the
present Free Rural Delivery sys-
tenn and making an appropriation
therefor was introduced and sups
ported by Senator Butler as an
amendment to the Postoffice appro-
priation bill in 1896. We haven't a
bound copy of the Congressional
Record Of that year by us, but if
anyone will turn to the proceedings
of that year, when the Postoffice
appropriation bill was under con-
sideration in the Senate. they will
find the official record showing what
we have stated. The provision was
adopted and In the Postofhce appro-
priation bill for the years 1897 and
1898 the same provision, or SINH
lar provision for an increased appro-
priation was reintroduced and adop-
ted.
It will also appear from the
Record that Senator Butler had In.
PRODUCED aud had read, after the ex-
detrimental system was started, a
large number of letters from farmers
along the routes established showing
that every person served was in ia.
vor of the provision and wanted the
Isystem to continue.
It will also be seen from exam
lining the Record that no other Sen
ator raised his voice in support of
this measure, but that the Chairman
Of the Postoffice Committee, Mr..
WOlcott, and another member of
the Committee and of the Senate
Committee actively opposed the es-
tablisbment of the system.
It will also be seen that the Sena-
tor from North Carolina replied to
every one of them, and did so with
such force and with sc many facts
and arguments that the measure was
finally adopted on an aye and nay
vote by two majority, the majority
standing soto %.
We state ali this from memory,
but We are sure that the Record
bears it out in every particular. IT
this statement is, however, ques-
toned by any one we will take the
trouble to examine the record and
give the facts as they appear in the
Record and the pages on which they
can be found.

THE MODEL AUTOMOBILE.
Ideal Car Is Soon to be Within the
Reach of All.

The soundless, smooth-running
rerfectly flexible car-what like to
call the Gentlemans car, because a
gentleman can drive 1t without vio-
lence to good-breedlng or to his finer
aesthetic appreciation-is not far
distant today, says Herbert L: Towles
in the May Scribner.
Most of its elements are already
present, some on this car, some on
that; and in time they or their equiv
alents will be united in all the best
machines. Because of its almost per-
feet smoothness and flexibility-its
appeal to the aesthetic sense in short
Il look to see the "slx" accepted as
highwater mark of excellence for cars
Of over, say, "a horse power, until
the time, now indefinitely remote,
when the gas or steam turbine Is
made a success for vehicle propul-
sion.
In lower powers the vibration of
-four" is not so marked as to thrust
itself on the passengers notice, and
the flexibiity, while not perfect, is
sufficient for the moderate speeds in
tended.
Another point worth naming, in
connection with flexibility, is weight.
A heavy car with given engine ac-
CELEBRATES correspondingly slower than
light car, and the effect on the
driver is nearly as demoralizlng as
that OF an engine which will not run
slow. The present tendency is for
luxurious body equipment to run
away with ease and delicacy of con-
troll and this has a further i'll effect
in multiplying tire troubles, which are
a notable destroyer of the motorists
peace of mind.
Light weight means higher cost for
materials and workmanship, but it
Is worth all it costs / do not believe
a cheap machine will ever be quite
satisfactory as a Gentleman's car,
though when 1t is now it may run as
smoothly as the best; but on the
other hand, with due progress in man
ufacturing skill, it will not be neces-
sary to pay a fancy figure to secure
perfect running qualities. We shall
not need to revise our definition of
the word gentleman to fit the owner
Of the Gentleman's car Of tomorrow.

METH0D|STS IN
GREAT MEETING
WORLD CONFERENCE OPENS
IN BALTIMORE NEXT FRIDAY
Practically Every Country on the
Globe VIII Be Represented With
Delegates-MAny College Men At
tend-Four Bishops 70 BE Elected
Several Questions OF import
ance Coming Up.

Friday next will be one OF the mos
important world conferences known
The general conference OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal church opens the firs'
OF May in Baltimore.
There will be delegates from 12s
conferences. These are found In
every state in the union, in South
America, in China, India, Japan. Ko-
rea, Africa and in the various ma
tons OF Europe.
There will be about 500 delegates.
Many OF these are college men, as
the 244 colleges and universities in
Methodism have sent their presidents
largely to this great law-making body
which meets every four years.
This is not the largest body for the
Ecumenical conference which meets
every 10 years is a larger body, rep
resenting every branch OF Methodism
OF which there are l6.,
A great many questions Of import
ance will come before this body. 1t
is expected now that there will be 10
new bishops to elect. DR.. ouale. DR..
Anderson, DR.. Eckman, and others,
are in the field for this place and
have a very large following. The
question OF the election OF presiding
elders, the dstricting Of the. bishops,
the elimination Of paragraph 24s,
the consolidation Of the book con-
Germs, and the union OF all Methodism
will be some Of the features brought
before this body, and then the union
Of all the churches in closer ties Of
fraternity work in which the NJ. E.
church is taking a very active part
now.
In Japan and in Canada this union
spirit has taken active form and is
now a real fact in the working OF the
church there. It is more than likely |
that a new bishop will preside over
the destinies OF the Columbia River
conference this coming fall, which
meets in Wenatchee. taking in all this |

M'NAUGHT AT YAKIMA.
Hermiston Irrigationist Looking Over
Eastern Washington.

]. F. Mcknight. of Hermiston, Ore,
is in North Yakima a guest at the
Hotel Yakima, says the Yakima Re-
public. He is here studying irriga-
ton But it is not in connection with
irrigation that Mr.. Mcknight is
known TO the people of this city and
district. He is the man who first
thought out in a definite way the
street railway problem for North
Yakima and the surrounding coun-
try. That was five years ago.
He had plans and surveys and a
great deal Of data and he believed
this to be a most promising field for
a street railway company. The
Northern Pacific railroad, however.
could not see II that way At least 1t
could not be convinced that the pro-
ject was not backed by some rival
railroad and North Yakima lost that
opportunity for an electric railway
line into the highways and byways of
this great country.
The conditions are different today.
The country has developed greatly
and the success of a street railway
is no longer problematical Other
railroad lines are coming and the
freight will go to the railroad having
feeders into the freight producing
districts. The ideas which Mr.. Nc
Naught thought out are being put in
to effect But he has not investigat-
ed the street railway project though
# is altogether probable he will be-
fore leaving here.
He is at this time manager Of an
irrigation project at Hermiston, Ore,
and came 10 North Yakima 10 study
