Preached Funeral Service.

Elder Fl. L. Golston, from Cedar
Spring, Tenn. arrived at Hale's Chap
ell, Saturday, Sept. 81, to attend Mrs
Mary Sections funeral on Sunday
There was service Saturday night to a
house we'll filled with people who gave
good attention. Sunday there was a
good congregation who gave heed to
the glorious theme of the Resurrection
as held by the Bible and declared by
Bro, Golston and though our hearts
were sad because of the death of our
dear friend who had been member OF
the M. E. Church for over forty years,
yet we entertained hope that we will
meet again in that sweet day beyond
the grave After service we had
dinner on the ground, and, like the
Savior, who fed the multitude on so
small an amount, we had plenty till all
we're satisfied, and took plenty home.
Then we retired to the house where
we had another sweet service. We had
all things common and the Lold's pre-
sence was felt in our midst. After all
the joys of the day, we met again at
night. Following sweet discourse
on the surety of Christ's work for his
people an opportunity was given and
two came forward and joined the
church, and told of what the Lord had
done for them. Then we were dismis.
sed with hearts full of praise to the
good Lord for his presence. Thus
closed one of the most pleasant meet
ings ever held in these parts. We
hope Bro Golston will come again.

POOR PAY OF RURAL CARRIERS

Meeting in annual session in Little
Rock, the National Association of Ru-
raj Letter Carriers is making deter
mined effort to further the movement
to secure raise in salary for their
important services.
For several years they have agitated
peacefully for this adjustment through
their organization, as permitted by the
postoffice department, and several bills
looking to the ends asked are now
pending before congress.
So preoecupied has the government
been in meeting the phenomenal de-
mand for the multiplication of rural
free delivery routes that it has had
little opportunity to heed the petition
for increased compensation of the car
riers already engaged.
An obstinate postal deficit has, also,
stood in the way, or, at least, has
been alleged as the principal objection
by congressman opposing the change.
The time is now come when congress
cannot afford longer to disregard the
lust request made by the carriers.
The average pay to the privates in
this tremendous army of hard working
men is 5000 year, while great many
receive under that amount, compensa-
ton being graded according to length
of route.
Out of this comparatively modest
sum, the carrier is required to furnish
and maintain the conveyance with
which he makes the daily trip of deli
very and collection.
Subtract that important item from
the salary of 5000 and the amount left
for living expenses in this age OF high
prices is not impressive.
1t has been proposed to adjust this
situation by allowing the carrier $500
annually for horse maintenance.
Representative Gordon Lee, of Georgia,
is author of bill aimed at that end,
and it is now pending in congress.
It is earnestly hoped that congress
will take cognizance of petition
characterized in every respect by jus
tice. Incidentally, it may be remark
ed that'a parcel post, for which the
carriers are working, would largely
cut down the postal deficit and enable
the government to deal fairly witt
one of its most important branches O.

Governor Patterson, of Tennessee,
surprised the country last week by an
nouncing his withdrawal as candid
ate for reelection. This action makes
even more unsettled the already un-
certain politics Of that State. B. w.
Hooper,, the republican candidate, has
been endorsed by the independent
Democrats / n many counties, and
whether or not the warning Democrat
ic factions will be able to agree on a
candidate is very uncertain. The in
dependents think that Patterson, real.
izing that his defeat for the Governor
ship was certain, may, as last des-
perate move, try to get control of the
Legislature and go to the Senate. 1t
is likely, however, that his political
career is practically over. First cleo
ted as q reformer. he began at once the
