RURAL CARRIERS
PRODUCE SERVICE
Delaware Routes Are To Be In
cluded In Nationwide Postal
Experiment.

Certain rural mail routes in Della
ware are to be selected within a few
days on which experiments are to
be made which will put farmers in
a direct touch with consumers, un-
der a bill passed by Congress at the
last session, permitting rural car
riers to accept vegetables, fruits,
berries, and dairy products, ETC., for
delivery direct to consumers on his
routes.
Service Begins About June 1
The service will be inaugurated
about the first of June and will con-
tinue until February 2S, 1926, after
which time the PostofTice Depart
ment will make a report to Con-
gress on the success or failure of
the experiment. Mr.. Billany stated
that about so rural routes of the
country would be selected for the
experiment; two will be in Della
ware.
The inauguration of this service
will place the producer of foods in
closer touch with the consumer
than has existed through other pos
tai service. 1t will permit the farm
er to deliver his surplus vegetables
to the carrier at low rate of pos
tage wGereupOn the carrier will
weigh it and collect the proper
postage. Under the scheme, the car
rier will deliver the products direct
to the door of the consumer on the
same day if possible, and collect the
amount directed by the farmer for
his products. The carrier will be
allowed in addition to his regular
salary a commission of so per cent
of the postage charges shipped by
patrons of the route.
The rate of postage under the new
scheme, will be five cents for the
first pound and one cent for each
additional two pounds. There will be
no charge for this service to the
producer, Mr.. Billany said, other
than the usual postage at the local
rate, and no charge whatever to
the consumer.
Success Depends on Patrons
In commenting upon the propos-
ed experiments, Mr. BilIany said:
"The results will depend largely
upon the individual effort and en-
thusiasm of the carrier in securing
purchasers and shippers, as well as
upon the cooperation of the post
master in extending his active in
terest and assistance. Further, what !
the carrier will earn in addition to |
his salary will depend almost solely
upon his own endeavor in develop
ing a market.
The details are to be worked out
so as not to interfere with the
prompt delivery of the mail, but
Mr. Billany stated that if the plan
is developed successfully, it would
seem essential that the carrier
should solicit subscriptions by MAX
ing personal appeals to patrons of
his route and possibly to those re-
siding contiguous to his route even
if not patrons of it, and that to do
this it will be necessary for him to
make detOurs from the established
line Of travel. AS there would be no
increase in salary, these detOurs
would be without additional COM
pensation except such as might re-
suit from the commissions from pos
tage charges collected from the pro-
ducer.

Let Us take the case Of Chief JUS

primaries had for 1913 been held
and Chief Justice Olson had become
the candidate Of the United Repub-
lican party and he was therefore en-
titled to the vote and the loyal sup
port Of every true blue Republican,
but that fact cut no ice with Col
Abbott, and as stated before, he
turned over heaven and Hades in his
mad effort to defeat the reelection of
Mr.. Justice Olson, and he warmly sup
ported the late Michael Sullivan.

Municipal Court Of Chicago, but as

there was no way on this earth for
them to defeat Mr. Justice Olson in
his third race for reelection as Chief
Justice Of the Municipal Court Of Chi
cago.
Some contend that as long as Col.
Abbott manfully stood by the Hon.
Robert E. Grove in his last fight for
denomination and reelection to his
present position, that Col Abbott be-
ing the high cock of the walk, should
be permitted to walk away with any
thing he wants at the hands Of the
states attorney Of Cook county. That
statement in reference to his standing
by Hon. Robert E. Grove to the last
ditch is as false as false can Be, and

lairs from the bottom Of their dis
honest feet to the tops of their tricky

Chicago, ILL.,, May 8-Another honor
has come to a Fioridan in the appoint
ment Of Attorney N. K. McGill, form
erly Of Jacksonville, Fla, to the posi-
ton Of assistant prosecuting attorney
for Cook county Ill, here. The ap-
pointment of Atty. McGill came after
many had applied for the position, and
it was somewhat a surprise since he
is virtually stranger in this city
The young attorney came here a few
weeks ago from Jacksonville to Be
legal advisor and assistant to Robert
s, Abbott, president Of the Abbott
Publishing Company 1t is stated that
soon after he came here the office
was offered him with assurances Of
his acceptance. The position pays
salary Of approximately $500 a year.
Mr.. McGill was born in Quincy,
Fla, and educated at the old Cook
man Institute in Jacksonville, follow
ing which he entered the Boston law
school, Boston, Mass, and upon fin
ishing returned to Jacksonville and
formed a partnership with his brother,
S. D. McGill. During his ten years
Of practice in the courts Of Florida he
has shown an exceptional ability and
has figured in many important cases.
Recently he moved to Chicago, where
his wife, who is sister-in-law Of the
publisher Of the Chicago Defender,
and his two sons, Nathan K, Jr., and
S. p. were residing.
Col. Abbott as blue or black
bellied Presbyterian has become past
master in the art Of lying, for he
states that "AIr. McGill has been a
member Of the Illinois bar for eight
years" but he was very careful not
to state that he had been practically
a nonresident member all Of those
years and nonresident of Illinois,
for the Sentinel Of Jacksonville,
Florida, May 9, 1925, states that 'he
arrived in this city about three or four
weeks before he was appointed As
sistant States Attorney Of Cook
County at the behest Of the present
ruling Colored political bosses of Chi
cago.
It has been stated by Col Abbott
that his brother-in-law, Mr.. N. K. Nc
Gill, was appointed to that position to
reward him in some small degree
for the great services which he has
rendered to the leaders Of the Repub-
lican party which Is all hog-wash, for
we remember that he would not pub
lish one line in his paper in favor Of
the election Of Mr.. DePriest as All
derman Of the Second Ward unless
he dug Up $3.50 for him. We attended
one Of the DePriest's meetings at Odd
Fellows Hall. $685. s. State street, Col.
Abbott was also present and at that
time Mr. DePriest accused Col Ab-
bott Of attempting to shake him down
for that sum of money and Col ABB
