RURAL CARRIERS ASSOCIATION
President Wicker is Active i'm Work
OF the Organization.

L. T.. Wicker, president of the Ru-
raj Letter Carriers Association Of
this State, has been very active and
cNorting his best efforts to increase
an interest i'm the association, and to
enlist the cooperation of all the let
ter carriers in the State. M. Wicker,
in order to secure, as far as, possible
the attitude of the government Off
CialS and congressman towards the
association, addressed a communica-
tion to Congressman Aiken, request
ing his opinion of the subject. In re-
ply Mr.. Wicker has received from
Congressman Aiken the following let
ter:
Abbeville, Aug. 81, 19O9.-Thos.
T.. Wicker, Newberry, S. c.: Dear
Sir-iOur letter asking what | be-
lieved to be the attitude of the gov
ernment toward the rural carriers,
and especially with reference to the
carriers organization, was duly re-
ceived
am sure that the government.
and especially Congress. is disposed
to do the best for the carriers that
the circumstances each year will per-
nit. | am also sure that the gov
ernment does not look with disfa-
vOr upon the carriers organization.
1t recognizes the right Of the carrier
to present his cause in the most
forceful and intelligent manner, and
this he can do only through organi-
Zation, bringing him in touch with
his fellows.
The carriers, in their organized ca
pacity, can render valuable aid to
State and Federal authorities in
stimulating road building and in
making other suggestions in aid of
rural development. 1t is not the
purpose of the organization to under
take to enforce demands, but to pre-
sent its requests intellingently and
forcefully.
| speak as a friend OF the rural
carrier. My first speech in Congress
was In support of bill, proposing
to pay rural carriers something like
adequate compensation. 1t was one
OF the first of such bills introduced; :;
and since, from time to time, have
aided II the passage of similar mea-
sures still further Improving the
carriers condition. have felt that
the rural carrier was not fairly treat
ed when compared with the city car
rier, and | have felt no little plea
sure in the increasing recognition
that he has found in Congress. | do
not hesitate to say that tho asSocia-
tion has given me valuable data;
ana. except for organization, | do
not believe that the data would have
been easily obtainablc. All carriers
share in the beneficial work Of the
organization: it seems but fair that
all should unite in making it as ef-
fective as possible.
Very truly yours, Wyatt Aiken.

COTTON CROP is 03.7.
This Is the Worst Report that Has
Ever Been Made.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The crop
reporting board Of the bureau Of
statistics Of the Department OF Ag-
riculturc estimates the average con
dition Of the cotton crop on August
25 at 63.7 per cent normal, COM
pared with 71.9 on the 25th of July,
and 76.1 on August %, 1908, and
1876 average for ten years.
The Virginia condition is placed
at 73; North Carolina, 73; South
Carolina, "a; Texas 80, and Louisi-
ana i6.
The report is the lowest ever made
on the cotton crop.
Report Received In New York.
New York, Sept. 2.-The govern
ment report issued to-day making
the August condition Of the cotton
report only 63.7 per cent was the
lowest on record. comparing with
7l.9 last month, 76.1 last year and
Ga per cent in 1902--the lowest Au-
gust condition previously reported.
The figures were little below
general expectations in New York
market circles, and were regarded as
confirming very bullish estimates of
the probable crop, but was followed
by no great change in prices, busi-
ness being restricted by the approach
of the three-day adjournment over
Labor Day.
January cotton, which was quoted
at i2.li just before the report ap-
peared, advanced to 1850, nearly 30
points net higher.

Big Swindlc i'm Mineral Lands.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 4.-Mine-

900 out of the pockets of residents
of Eastern States, according to State
Geologist Edwin Hall, who says he
will ask Governor Brooks to take
immediate action in cases which he
investigated after having received
more than ff;v letters of inquiry
from people said to have been de-
frauded.
Hall says that in the vicinity of
Sun Dance alone coterie of swind-
lcrs secured $4,000 by getting from
Eastern people $101.3O each for 800
iron claims, promising that the 20
acre claims would later be purchased
for $40 an acre. The $i0l.3O, he
states was represented to be the cost
of doing location work and filing
papers.
Such location work, he reports,
was never done. In fact, he declares
there is no evidence that a pick was
ever stuck into the surface Of the
claims.

Nothing in the administration of
