RURAL CARRIERS TO MEET.
important Meeting in Court House on
May 30-Otticers to Be Elected
and Road Question Discussed.

"ihu Ieodu QueSIlOn DlSCuSSeu.
80 1he rural letter carriers Of this
county are hereby notified that there
Will be a meeting of the county asso-
cation at the court house on MAY 80.
This is an important meeting, and
all the carriers should by all means
attend. Among the business to he
transacted will be the election of Of
hcers for the ensuing year and also
the election Of delegates to the State
convention, which meets this year at
Aiken.
The object Of this call to the car
clers is two-fold; 1st, to get the mem
bers OF the association together for
the purpose OF transacting the regular
business of the association, and 2nd,
to extend call to all rural carriers
IN the. county, whether members of
the association or not, for the purpose
or discussing the road question. In
olher words, as soon as tho business
or the association is finished. which
Will not require more than twenty
minutes, the association will be adj
l"urned and the carriers present will
organize themselves into q rood roads
convention.
brother carriers. it is Imperative
tllaI you attend this meeting. Your
attendance is positively il matter OF
personal interest to you and to the
people whom you serve. for this rca-
son: There will be, in all probability,
a resolution offered something like
this: "RcSolvcd lst. That this convcn
t1on take note and make record of
all absent carriers; 2nd, That the ao-
Sence OF any carrier shall be con-
S'rucd as indicating that his roads
are in perfect condition: 3rd. Tha.
this convention furnish .hc county
supervisor list Of the absent ear
lers and urge him during the coming
FALL and winter TO rive his entire at
tcntl"n TO the roads and communities
represented by carriers prcSent.'
Now il IS not the attention of this
resolution TO coercr your attendance.
but ii IS simply taking common
sense view Of the situation. viz. if
YOU wish to nave the condition Of
your roads improved You will come
and assist in this movement: if YOUR
roads are good enough for YOU then
we may not expect 10 have YOU with
us and you may not expect any work
on your roads.
The rural carriers can do more to
extend and promote the agitation of
the good roads question than any 9TH
er class of. men in the county: then
why throw away our opportunity {?
Let rs get together and show uni.-
ed front and a determination to over
throw the present system of road
working and establish new and
more perfect system. Let's over
throw the antiquatcd and pernicious
system that depends entirely upon a
contemptiblc and slavi&h servitudc
for the maintenance of the public
highways and establish a system
which will require the millions of tax
able property in this county to bear
It's pro rata share Of The burden.
Come to the meeting on the 30th.

Gift with String to Il.

Up to six months ago the French
village Of 0annat had neither debt
nor history. Then one day 1t 70
oeived q bequeek Of $4,000. Now it
y about to issue its first loan, and
4 has become one Of the most talked
about towns in the republic.
Gannat was represented in the
chamber Of deputies for number
q years by crusty cid bachslor,
n. Delarue. When N. Dsiarus Died
the village council was delighted to
learn that the deputy had made the
town Of his birth his sole heir. 1t
was some weeks later before It woke
up from its happy dream.
The testament OF "Psrs Delarue"
was hedged about with all serts Of
onerous conditions. In the first
place, 1t provided that monument
should be erected TO his memory.
There was a clause calling for the
construction OF museum and . pub
lie library destined to shelter the
testator's works Of art and numerous
books. Many Of the books were in
bad condition. The village was re-
quired to see that they were all
properly bound. In spite Of these
conditions matters were still bright
when the financial crisis struck the
money markets Of the world. The
bequest Of the village beneficiary
suddenly shrank to about one-half Of
its original value.
At the present writing the name OF
Delarue is the most unpopular In
Gannat. This unpopularity has beea
increased by the fact that only half
Of the village bonds BY which the
corporation hoped to complete the
museum and the library have thus
Tar been subscribed.

Another day passed and no Petsr
Ruggles appeared; then another: then
stu another. the two cabs and their
drivers waiting in turn. Then a week
passed-two weeks-three weeks-one
month! At the end Of the month

was nled against Peter Ruggles, less
10 per cent. discount for monthly serv-
ice.

old classmate, and q certain young
lady with large gray eyes, were en-.
gagged in hunting for an exceedingly
rare specimen of-beetle--and anoth.

passed quickly by. Meantime Jerry
and his relief, as we'll as the two cab
horses, had fallen quite in love with
their peaceful and meditative occupa-
tion of waiting, and, in the beautiful
line of Milton, they felt how true it
Is that "they also serve who only
stand-or sit-and wait"
The first of July came, and still the
cabs waited in their turn-how many
stables could be depended upon to
serve their customers so faithfully?
then came the glorious Fourth,
when Jerry's horse attempted for the
first time to run away.
What If he should not be waiting
when Peter Ruggles returned! Jerry
gasped at the thought. Then week
succeeded week, until the thirty-frst
of July had passed. when third
monthly bill for cab service was
charged to the account of Peter Rug
giles.
On the morning of the second Of
August, as Jerry nodded peacefully on
his box, a gentleman leading lady
by the arm came toward him from one
OF the doors Of the North station. In
moment the man on the box was all
alert. He leaped down from his seat
and opened the cab door, and Ruggles
for the gentleman was none other
than Peter Ruggles-came forward
and hailing Jerry as If he had been
gone scarcely ten minutes instead Of
three long months, gently deposited the
lady In the cab. Then entering the We
hicle, holding in one hand box which
no doubt contained specimens of Ger
tain exceedingly rare beetles, Peter
Ruggles thrust out his head with the
brief direction, Home, jerry
"Yis, sor; home!" Jerry climbed
upon his box and, cracking his whip
loudly, drove down the street.
The next morning at breakfast Rug
giles found a bill beside his plate. It
read as follows:

The following morning Ruggles
again found the bill beside his plate.

tinued Miss stahl. ''People come
