The statistics of the Postoffice De-
partment indicate that the rural deliv-
cry system pays its way, notwithstand-
ing its very considerable cost. The
ratio of deficit moves in a contrary di-
rection to the ratio of rural delivery
expenditure. The fact appears to be
that the rural delivery has proven a
bringer-in of new revenue. There has
also been accomplished a saving of
$12,O00,00O through the closing of small
postoffices and the discontinuance of
star routes.

WHAT He SAW
At KILAUEA

o.. C. L. La Rue of Sacramento,
California, who has travelled extern
sively around the world, returned from
Hawaii by the S. s. Mauna Loa Tues
day of this week, in an interview he
said:
yes, l have just been to the vol
canO; was it worth while?) Well! |
should think so; 1t was worth going
around the world to see; would not
have missed it for any consideration;
it is a spectacular performance which
cannot be described; it is so awfulIy
fascinating that one can hardly leave
it; if my business would have permit
ted, would have remained there a
week. The wonder to me is that your
Honolulu people do not make more OF
it; they can't realize the extent of the
present activity; / understand that
hundreds of people went up to see the
flow of 1907, and that it was not bit
more attractive than Kilauea is at the
present time"
Everybody returns from the vol
cano with the same enthusiasm and
yet Honolulu has not awakened to the
fact that a great eruption is taking
place within twenty-four hours travel
of her gates.

Izard-Rogers.

Last Sunday night Hon. R. ] Lard lord mayor of Forrest City, packed his grip and took the evening train east. ward, While known 10 a few of his intimate friends, the surprise Co the community was great when it was an- nounced that Dick had gone to Ala- bama to claim the hand of a sweet girl, who had promised to be his wife.
 The marriage took place al the resi- denee of the brides parents in War sawA Alabama, "Wednesday, August ), 1908. It was sweet, simple home wedding, with only few friends and relatives present..
 The happy couple passed through the city today enroute to Mount Nebo for brief stay and then will be at home in Forrest City.
 Miss Zell Rogers, tue bride. is a lov- able young lady, and is well known in Forrest City, she having been the pri- vate tutor in the family of Judge and Mrs. T. c. Folbre, for about eight months, and had won place in their hearts by her lovely character and dis position.
 Hon. R. J. Izard, the groom. is the eldest son of Col. and Mrs. Y. B. Lard: was born and raised in this county: lawyer by profession, and was recently elected mayor of Forrest City, in which office he serves with dignity and the best interests of the city. Every body knows Dick, and all wish him joy in his selection.
 It was genuine case of love at first sight, and The Times joins with their many friends ill wishing a eontin- uance of the sweet and happy life they have just begun together.

BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN FUND.

wish every Democratic paper would begin the collection Of q campaign fund from its own subscribers. There are very few Democrats who could not afford to make a small contribution, and the people will never be able to control the government until they take on themselves the burden of sup plying campaign funds. As long as a few men furnish the money to finance campaign, these men will exert an undue Influence upon the government.
 It seems we have reached the end of corporate contributions, and this is a step in advance: but the individuals who control these favor seeking cUrpo- rations may still dominate politics by furnishing the sinews of war. The Democratic party has struck at this system by limiting contributions to Sl0000 and providing for publicity be- fore election. The Republican party has so far refused to join with us on this proposition, but public sentiment may yet compel it to do SO have no doubt that the Democratic party will receive contributions from more individuals than ever contributed to any campaign, and there is no reason why the entire sum necessary should not be supplied by contributions from the masses. If every Democratic paper will take the matter up and lend helping hand, we will soon have money enough in the treasury to provide for legitimate campaign work, and that is all we want.-W j. Bryan.
 The Times is responding to Mr. Bryan's suggestion, and will be glad to receive and account for any contri- buttons that may be intrusted to it. Send along your dollar or more if you wish
