People residing along rural free mail
delivery routes in this county will be
greatly pleased to read the following
from the Postmaster General. A linn
tied parcels post for the rural free del
livery routes will be recommended by
Postmaster General Hitchcock in his
forthcoming annual report. In annO-
uncing this tonight, the Postmaster
General foresees the establishment of
a general parcels post throughout the
country as sOoc as the postal savings
system is thoroughly organized. As
the preliminary step in the develop
ment of such service Mr.. Hitchcock
will ask Congress to authorize the de-
livery on rural routes Of parcels weigh
ing as high as eleven pounds, which is
the weight limit for the international
parcels post. This form of service, IL
is maintained, can be conducted with
little il any additional expense to the
government. 1t will not require the
appointment of more carriers. for
those already employed have the ne
cessary equipment in the way Of h0r-
ses and wagons to distribute the par
cells as well as the ordinary mail
Rarely is the latter Of sufficient volume
to take up more than small portion
of the mail space in the.carrie,s wagon
A rural parcel post Of the kind prOpos-
ed. II successfully conducted, probably
would lead the department to attempt

cock believes however, that before the
parcel service is extended to the whole
country, definite information should
be obtained as the nature and volume
of business to be handled. He accord
ingly urged that in conjunction will

According to the official estimate of
the US. Bureau of the Census, the
Stars and Stripes Protect l01, 100, 900
souls, this includes the PHILIPPINES, Sa-
moa, Guam. Hawaii, Alaska and the
Panama Canal zone The North
American continent exclusive Of Alas
ka has population of 81, 972, FOG inhab.
itantS, this is an increase in pOpula-
ti0n of 1897 ,69l which amounts to q
per cent over the 1900 figures. We
may realize just how our country is in
creaslng when we remember in 1890
when the first census was taken the
population was 3. 929, pa slightly larger
than the present population of the
State of Texas.
Director Durand attributes the
growth of Continental United States
largely to immigration. The country
he says is plainly marked off in broad
groups OF states according to the diff
ference in the rate of increase. The
states showing the lowest rates of in
crease falling below ten per cent. are
five In the central section of the cOun-
try. Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, lndi-
ana and Tennessee and the greatest
change in the rate of growth is found
in the three Pacific coast states and
Nevada and New Mexico. Another
point of interest by Director Durand
is that while there has been probably
some what greater difference be-
tween the rate of growth in the urban
population and of rural population du
ring the last decade then during that
preceding one it was not as great as dur
ing the years Of 1880 to 1890 or some of
the earlier ones and he thinks that it
is not fact that the population has
an increasing tendency to leave the
country and 60 to the city and the ag-
ricultural statistics of the census bu-
reau show an extraordinary increase in
the value of farm lands and farm prop
erty.

The Reason Why John Salter Is Not b
The Confederate Home,

Much has printed recently in pap
ers in adjoining counties about John
Salter, a confederate veteran and bis
going to the Home at Pewee Valley.
As Mr.. Salter is from Garrard county
and enlisted in the Confederate army
from this county, a representative of
the Record interviewed one of the 10
cal confederate veterans on the sub
ject.
He stated that the confederate sol.
diers of Garrard county had once made
up money and sent Mr.. Salter to the
Home, but he would not stay there.
After leaving he expressed wish to
return upon investigation it was lear
ned that he had violated some rule or
law OF the institution and could not
return. The Records informant
went to see Col. Bennett H. Young in
regard to the matter and Col, Young
after hearing it in detail told him to
send Mr.. Salter back and that he
would see that he would again be re-
ceived. Money was raised promptly
and Salter notified but he failed and
refused to 90. On another occasion
Salter was in town and expressed a
wish to return to the home and this
same gentleman arranged for his lOdg
ing at local hotel until time for him
to start and authorized the local agent
of the L & N Railroad to furnish him
transportation at his expense. but Sal
ter failed to call for it. No truer ILL
ustration of the fidelity of man to man
than the fidelity of one confederate
soldier to another can be found, espec-
tally is this so of our Garrard county
representative of the "bOys who wore
the gray". and it is safe to say that
one is never allowed to want for any
thing. Mr.. Salter well knows this al
it has been proven to him time and
again, and he further we'll knows that
any time he will express asertous wish
to return to the home at Pewee Val
ley, all he has to do is to come to Ian
caster and look up one Of bis old com
rades in arms and transportation vii
