Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S GASTORIA Explanation Wanted Regard¬ ing Lost Records Iii the last issue of the Courier, Editor Ellington says that the Or dinary, is having copies of the Tax Digests prepared, that are alleged to have been Stolen, and that Tresis urer Parks has notified the Ordina ry that he would refuse to pay the making of the copies out of the funds belonging to the txfunty. We understand that the abdve is true, that Mr. Parks wrote the Ordinary that he tvoltld refuse to pay for the making of these copies out of the county funds because lib Hue but the ‘ Ordinary J was responsible v for the loss of these valuable , ,, records. Tne Ordinary is personally responsible, lie and bis bondsmen, arid all peo¬ ple that we have heard say anything about it, endorse the position of the j Treasurer, and we have found no i one yet, who believes that the Tax payers of the county ought to pay a.

He also stated that there was ample room in the Ordinary’s office for these three officials to investigate and examine these records, yet when only one man besides himself, ac¬ cording to the reports we hear, was for tbme T mysterious or nnkiiowii . r , .. .. . , L ‘ AT, ’ carried . , of the Ordinary „ office, out s according to his statement, and up¬ stairs in the court house amongst trash nWd ail kinds of rubbish im¬ aginable, and was, according to the statement of the Ordinary himself being examined aiid looked over, or at least was in the possession and control of one who was no county official as far as we know, or has any official connection of the coun¬ ty these affair^. books Tile looks Whole “fishy” story about and to us reminds us more of the “Milligan and Ramsey” story that was so much talked about a few years back than anything we can think of. It seems to Us that this county offidial, who let these books disappear, could be called on to replace them | at his own expense; or give some reason why they were upstairs in the jury room vvhei’o there was rio table riof conveniences whatever for the examination of records or the transaction of any business. If the court house was guarded, as it is claimed it was, and the gnard is re¬ ported as having seen the books leave the court house why did not the guard stop the man? What was he there for, if not to let the books leave the court house? And who was this guard that was being paid by the county that stood in Sight of the removal of these valua¬ ble records and made no effort to stop it? The report In the Atlanta Constitution said to nave been writ¬ ten by the present Ordinary, and the report in theEllijay Courier the week after the records had been re jiorted to have been stolen, sought to leave the impression that these records were stolen from the Ordi¬ nary’s office aild that it was his of¬ fice that had been broken open; but it turns out on investigation that they were not in the Ordinary’s of¬ fice, the place where they belonged, but in the jury room where there was no trouble in the world for any¬ body to take tliem that wanted to, and we have not found anybody yet who-knew they were there until they were reported stolen or disap¬ peared. We repeat again that it is up to the Ordinary to explain why they were not iii his office’ arid for what reason did tliet leave there, and by what authority did’ he let them go out. It seenis to us that • now is a fine time to turn oil the light that we have heard so mricli about for the 4ast few years.

Depends Upon the Distances “1 he haui charge depends upon the distance the haul is made. \Vhera the haul charge is unimportant, the distance oi the haul is, therefore, un irr." >rtant; but where the haul charge becomes a serious element ct expense, (he distance of the haul becomes to that extant a thing to be considered in fixing the charge of the service. “If a uniform rate was given for eleven pound packages all over the United necessarily States, one of two things would follow—either the short distance hauls would be carried at very much higher rates than the Vxnenses rf the service to the gov¬ ernment, or if the rate was put dowd io a rats proportioned to the cost td tlie government of ihe short distance hauls, then the long distance hauls would be carried by the government tit a great loss. “The government has Contracts with the various railroads for the transposition of the mail, "the only equitable plan for a parcels post is to consider iirrt the expenses to the government of handling packages! and, second, the expenses to the gov¬ ernment for hauling iKii packages. With these two elements of cost con¬ sidered, proper charges would involve much smaller rates for short distance than for longer distances. “I sought to find out the length, of hauls iu which our people were 1 interested. I became satisfied that the haul by the rural carrier was the most important, and then a f ter this haul the short distance of from 50. to 150 miles would cover the service wfc'ch our people would principally td require from a parcels post limiuAi eleven pound packages. “I reached the conclusion that not only justice, to the entire public would require lower rates for hauls of this character than for the long haul the entire country, 1 but also across the interests of the peril, e of our state could only be taken care of by giving 'hejp cheap rates ior these short distance hauls. ‘ The till e baa pts ,su con¬ gress does not claim td be perfect. That expertnc- will furnish informa¬ tion by which it c.-a ho improved, I am sure; but it is a grea„ step in the right direction.. One rural carrier service tor packages iip to eleveri wounds is placed at 5 cents for tho firs' pound, and 1 cent for each addi¬ tional pound, making the cost of 11 pound packages by rural free delivery; 15 cents. For a distance of 50 miles the charge is made 5 cents for the first pound and 3 cents for each ad; ditional pound, making the cost of 11 pound package for 5u miles 35 cents. “For a instance of 150 miles a. '■harge is made of 5 cents for the first pound and 4 cents for each ad¬ ditional pound, making the cost of 11 pound package for 15.) miles 45 cents. “i cought on the fioor of the senate to have these charges reduced to % cents on each additional pound, for a 50-mile haul, and 3 cents for each ad¬ ditional pound for a 150 mile haul, but these amendments were defeated. The bill, however, authorized the postmaster general to watch carefully the cost to the government, and with the approval of ihe interstate com¬ merce commission to reduce the rates when it becomes apparent that the service can be rendered by the gov¬ ernment for less charges. “I believe this measure will be of almost inestimable benefit. It will enable the farmers to sell many s nail products that now go to waste, thereby being a cl. ar economic, saving to the farmer and facilitating the use in towns and nearby cities of. things raised on the farms which Will great¬ ly contribute to the health and' com¬ fort of those living in fowtis arid Cit¬ ies. It with will which give the farmers inorq money to buy more or the comforts of life aud thereby in¬ crease the business of the merchants iii the small towns and nearby cities.' “The rates gradually increase until they " ach a fiat, rate of 12 cents a pound for a distance Of 1,800 miies or more. The rates are based upon what was believed to be figures that wi'l protect the government from 'oss, and, as I stated, will tie reduced, if it Is found that the cost of the service justifies it. The parcels post, with the rates under which it iS figured should enable the merchant in the small towns and nea-by cities to sell to the farmers and deliver to them ail through the year with little cost and great convenience, the smaller p o.Diets required by the farmers. “I believe it will prove of great service to farmers, to.merchants and to the public generally, and that when it becomes perfected, those who have desired a different system and those who have opposed it altogether, will see that it will rt. ily pi most beneficial according to its present plan. “ft hi been evident that a. parcels post would be established. The pec p’e of Georgia are to be congratulat¬ ed that the p’an adopted, while servd it will injure, none of them, will many of theinJ’
