most peculiar feature provides that
no saloonkeeper shall throw an in

sober. and that a place shall be pro-
vided for him to sleep.

demand. Public officers are public
servants, and we have got the cart
before the horse when we "beseech"
them to do anything which is legiti-
mate and necessary. If the people
would do more in the way of insist
ent demanding, and less in the way

more satisfactory. Demand of your

THE UPRIGHT MAN.

lowered with the primal virtues of
truth and reason and right,
He is the light of leading, leading the
way to light;
Backed by quiet purpose, earnest
in hOnor's strife,
He is the flame and flower of the
sweet and the simple life;
Fearless of kings and cohorts, chari-
OTIS churning the dust,
He is the perfect spirit based on a
deathless trust
Stainless, peerless, unpurchased,
building his power clean,
He is the soldier serving man and
not the machine;
Truth for his mighty fortress, zeal,
and will to go,
Under his feet they scatter, the ranks
of the unclean foe,
And the hooves of the beasts of plum
der, over the plain they fly
At the sting of his tongue of scath-
ing, the glance of his Argus eye.
Cursed, maligned, detested, muddied
and stained and scorned,
He is the friend of the people whose
Open his course, and manly; war to
the knife, but war
Where the impious gain no quarter,
and the banners borne before
Are stainless remnants of duty, with
personal ends forgot
In the aim of the sovran service for
the good of the common lot.
Decked with the foeman's SANDER,
hail him, the upright man!
Leading the warfare righteous with
his keen blade in the van;
Then, at the moments triumph,
turning from crown and bay
To hurl at the despot's columns the
force of his iron array;
Ceaseless fighter of battles, tireless,
whose toll is rest,
Till the fields are the fields of silence,
and the lilies are on his breast!

list. Do you believe the rural car
rier is paid enough for his services,
considering the expense attached to
the work, such as maintaining at
least two horses, sometimes three,
with buggies, etc?
I'd. The average rural carriers
salary is about $500 per month,
or less, with the expense of keeping
up his outfits and numerous minor
expenses connected herewith, twill
be readily seen by person of reason
that his salary is cut in half.
8. The carrier is required to stand
an examination at beginning of
service, which places him on more
intelligent basis than the laboring
man, and his work requires a higher
standard than the latter, yet the Ia
borer, on an average, commands
forty to fifty dollars per month,
minus expense connected with his
work.
4th. In justice to the patient,
Woodworking servant, the rural car
rier, who does not expect to derive
monthly, excluding actual expense,
more than about thirty -five dollars,
would it not seem they were an ill
paid body of faithful public servants
in comparison with current cost of
living and the salary of one hun
dred dollars per month to city car
riers; nor is the poor rural carrier
fault-finding or discriminating in the
in the service, for he only wants
justice, but tits such lamentable
fact that he hasn't any champion
for his cause"
9Th In regard to parcels Post"
the rural carrier, as faithfully as
ever, is glad to welcome any progress
or benefit for the uplift of the farm
er whom tbs his duty to serve, and
he does it WE'LL, as is shown by the
March of Progress" of the farms
and farmers in the last decade.
Along with the call for the parcels
post, why cannot our strong daily
and weekly papers also AROUSE the
millions of farmers to beseech their
Congressman to give justice to the
faithful carrier who goes forth in
the cold or rain, sleet or snow, to
perform his daily work?
Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars"
Now, Mr. Watson, will yours be
one of the papers to help the carrier,
for you will be thanked by each and
every one most heartily, and, too, in
conclusion, tbs a fact that you should
be proud of being the author of the
r. F. d. service, and had it not been
for you we, the people, may never
had the present benefits of such
good service.
Yours for the carrier,
Davisboro, Ga. A. b.
Answer.
% In considering the enormous
advance in the cost of living which
has been made since the new tariff
law went into effect, I do not believe
that the rural carriers are paid
enough. In comparison with the
salaries paid the other officials of the
government, I consider that the ru-
raj carrier is the victim of discrimi-
nation.

WHICH is THE BETTER WAY?

A lady suddenly bereft of her means
of support, by death or otherwise, and
thrown on her own resources alone, finds
that all she can get to do is plain sewing,
and that the voluKe turned out is what
is wanted, as the pay for that kind of
needlework is low. She would have a
poor chance to get ahead sewing with her
fingers, and she has no money to buy a
machine, but a reliable dealer knowing
her worth, and her con!i''c, kindly Of
fers to sell her one on a credit at the
regular cash price, with per cent per
annum interest,-She wisely accepts and
has the machine to work with right away
to make living, instead of fighting a
long battle with her fingers.
Brandon beat sees the absolute ne
cessity of good roads and is glad to take
advantage of the law passed by the last
Legislature giving beats the right to issue
bonds at low rate of interest and secure
good roads without delay. The woman

tinue to keep in the same notion, or all
be alive, and come across with the $2.oo

of the direct tax man who wants to work
say one or two roads year.
The whole country must act on the
direct tax plan, and the one mill levy
would bring in less than $4,000 from the
whole county per year, which if scattered
all over Rankin county would do very lit
tie good, as experience teaches that in
road building to get the best results the
roads worked must be permanently fixed
and then repairs are inconsiderable. The
people of beat realize the need of better
roads and will not be led eff by promises
of securing them, otherwise than by a
bond issue, for the old plan has been open
to the opposition for years, with never a
move on their part to endeavor to have
better highways.

OUR LAWS.

There is as little class legislation in Missis
Sippi as in any other state in the union.
Though perfection of law is not to be ex-
pected, still our state has reason to be
proud of her laws, and the road law passed
by the last session of the legislature is
absolutely fair and just to the poor man
as well as the rich man.
1t was rightfully considered that under
the old Law it was too hard to get a coun-
ty, as a whole, to have better roads and
wisely gave each beat the right to have
them
The poor man who owns nothing but
a horse, or a $500 farm has equal voice
with the rich man in voting en- the ques-
ton, for the experience of scores of years
has taught that when it comes to improve
ments that will upbuild community, that,
as rule, the man who is rich hates to
pay his proportionate part of the ex-
pense, although his property is enhanced
in value in the same proportion as the
poor man's,yet the man with more than
plenty to live on, cares nothing for the
Others interests if it will cost the well-to-
do. citizen a 1.-THE of a very comfortable
income. The poor man and man of mod
crate means, has long since arrived at the
conclusion that when country is
suffering from bad crops, money panics,
or any other cause that then is the time
the rich man profits most, because he
has. the power and the money to Cypress
and secure the property of the poor man
at sacrifice.
The rich mans property may decrease
in value also for the time, but he is
happy in the knowledge that he has plenty
of ready cash to go on and that when the
rise in values does come he will be far
richer than he ever was. The man of
small means should always look out for
his own interest-the law looks out
for the rich as we'll as the poor man
and the rich man usually takes care of
himself, and will continue to do so I'M
til the judgement day, when everybody
will be judged.
