THE MOTOR ROUTES.

The Georgia delegation in the house
OF representatives is busy on the recent
changes made by the post-office depart
ment whereby they consolidated many
rural routes and substituted motor cars
for carrying the mails on the double
routes. The following editorial from
tie Savannah Morning News is inter-
esting:
Motor rural mail routes have stirred
up Georgia congressman. Yesterday
they held what is said to have been an
indignation" meeting and tomorrow
they expect to call upon Postmaster
General Burleson in body, according
to dispatches from Washington. and
tell him that the automobile should not
take the place of horses and buggy to
carry Georgia rural mail. They have
had little satisfaction from the protests
to the Posroffice Department thus far.
and unless Mr., Burleson takes posi-
ton almost directly opposed to that of
the fourth assistant postmaster general
they may get little more satisfaction
from him.
1t is worth while to point out that
terday-certainly within a few
hours of the time of the meeting-it
was announced that three motor rural
mail routes were ordered established in
Mitchell county, two from Camilla and
one each from Baconton and Pelham,
an announcement that did not tend to
soothe the feelings of the congress
men.
All of this shows what hard fight
for life the rural routes are going to
have, and if the Georgia congressional
delegation stand solidly against them
it will be surprising if the Postoffice
Department can save them. 1t will be
necessary for it to show that at least
in majority of instances the consoli-
dation Of the old horse and buggy
routes has resulted in better service

THE CITY ELECTION.

The voters of Americas spoke plain
" in the election Wednesday concern
ing the proposed amendment to the
charter of the Board of Education. The
amendment was decisively defeated at
tie polls.
From their voice it seems that they
are willing to permit the Mayor a nd
Council of Americas to nominate and
elect the members of the Board of Ed
ucation.
There should be no axe to grind,
and when the time comes for the cleo
ton of members to this body they
should be chosen without regard for
raction, differences or creed-always
with the welfare of the city and its
education uppermost in their minds.
The cause of education is a great
factor, and especially at this period of
GYvelopment in the South The child
is being punished through nc crime on
its own part, but because of differ
ences which should not arise in any
bodies which always have the inter
ests, development and growth of the
child and city at heart

THE BEGGAR NUISANCE.

This is the season of the year when
the beggar, whether professional or
otherwise, puts in his appearance and
makes the days work a source of con-
slant annoyance
A great portion of the world lives on
other part all because of begging, con-
sistently and constantly. The average,
everyday business men devotes a good
part of his money to charity and he
doesn't propose to be interrupted by
the eternal beggar.
We do not propose to suggest rem
edy, but it appears as if the city and
state authorities should take some
steps to stop this nuisance-and evil.
Florida is agitating the question, and
the following extracts are from an ed
itorial which appeared in the Clear,
water sun:
"Thees professional beggars can be
kept from overunning the state each
tourist season by checking them at the
state border. Jacksonville gets all of
them-it is the first stop. Here they
meet others of their clan and they are
given instructions as to the fertility
of the various communities, and they
spread over the state according to the
graft in sight. Jacksonville should
arrest them and give them hours to re-
turn to their Northern habitations;
well able to take care of their lame,
halt and blind. A score of arrests, and
an understanding among the 'profesh'
that Florida is no longer fertile field
for their operations, would check the
flow of their like to this state each
winter"
