habitants of rural communities are
throwing out their chests until they

New plans for the development Of

Washington Irving
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

NTAsHINGToN IRVING
Wv There is still sunshine and
good cheer in the sound of
the name, Notwithstanding the fact
that it was SO years ago that the
one TO whom it belonged passed out
from these earthly scenes.
When Washington Irving died a
beautiful life and a beautiful work
came to close. and yet, after more
than half "a century. the benediction
OF that life and the glory OF that
work remain among the nations
most precious and valuable assets.
Born in New York city in 1883,
Irving. when about %, was called
to the bar, but he was never cut out
for a lawyer, and, fortunately for
the world, he soon left the sages TO
follow his chosen and beloved pro-
fession of literature.
After producing those inimitable
pictures of the old Dutch life, the
History of New York" and the
Knickerbockers," Irving went to
England. where. encouraged by the
great-souled Sir Walter Scott and
other literary lights of the old
Motherland. he soon made himself
famous on both sides of the water.
In the immortal sketch Book
he made the whole reading world
laugh and cry by turns, and in 9TH
er writings he demonstrated the
fact that. al last. America had
produced a real literary man, a
writer Of whom any country could
well afford to be proud. man in
whose work the creative vigor that
had long been breathing and burn
ins in the hearts and minds Of his
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-12-04

people had blossomed into real art.
There was now an American
style, possessing Unborn grace, and
forcibly reminding one Of the very
best that had been produced by the
greatest masters of literature As
long as the world stands, much that
Irving wrote viii remain among the
finest things to be found in any lit
erature.
The Old World was no longer to
laugh at the "crudities" of Ameri-
can writings Washington Irving
had won for his country full recog-
milton in tho great republic Of let
tiers. He had done for American
literature what his illustrious
namesake had done for American
politics-given it a name among the
nations of the earth.
When, in 1882, after an absence
of seventeen years, Irving returned
to his native land, he was received
with open arms and cordiality of
affection that has seldom been ex-
tended to any man.
"Sunnyside," the delightful re-
treat on the Hudson, became d Sec
ond Mount Vernon, and its genial
master a second Washington. for
everybody realized that Irving's
pen had done for us in the realm
of literature as much as Washing
tons sword had achieved in the line
of political emancipation
1t is encouraging to know that
lrving's memory is still lovingly
cherished by his countrymen: for
no permanent evil can ever over
take as SO Ions as We Nenerate the
ideals that cluster about such
shrines as Mount Vernon and sun
uysi0e.

on being interviewed as to the

He says that his firm has in

The Parcels Post
BY F. E. S,

II HE new parcels post law goes
into effect on January 1, and
while far from being all that
the friends of the system hoped
for, is a step in the right direc-
ton. The new law will doubtless
be improved upon from time to
time until the United States is on
par with European countries in
this respect.
The new law permits the mail
ing of packages Weighing no more
than eleven pounds which must
not be more than y inches in length
and breadth combined. Up to four
ounces there will be a fiat rate Of
one cent per ounce, or part thereof,
regardless of distance.
For packages weighing more than
four ounces the rates vary with the
distance. which the following table
will explain
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-12-04

From this it will be seen that an
eleven pound package which can
be sent from Rome to San Fran
New York to the same destination
$1.32. a tremendous discrimination
in favor of the foreigner against
our own citizens.
Instances like these will doubtless
do much toward helping along tDe
cause of the parcels post and even
tually give TO this country a sNS-
tenn that will be real and lasting
benefit TO both producer and con-
sumner.
