THE STAR
MAIL ROUTES.
Bids Asked for for Carrying on
Second Section
CARRIERS MUST LIVE ON LINE
A List of the Routes in Bartow
County and What Present
Contracts Pay,
A great many people, with no
intention to be thought behind the
times, have regretted the gradual
displacement ot the old star routes
by the new free delivery service,
and in not a few localities the peo
ple cling with satisfaction to the
old system as fully suiting their
needs. Aud the ‘ hay burner” will
fade away, if it does fade, at a
gradual pace.
One special advantage the star
route has that is rarely thought of
is that in addressing a person at
the end of or on the route a reply
can be had the same day, as the
star route man goes and comes his
route, instead of making a single
circle, as in the case of the free
delivery system.
The Postoffice Department has!
issued an advertisement inviting
bids for carrying the mails on all
star routes in the Second Contract
Section from July i, 1904, to June
30, 1908. This contract section
comp ises the states south of Vir
ginia aud the Ohio river aud east of
the Mississippi river.
The bidding is limifed to persons
living within the delivery district
of offices supplied from routes on
which proposals are made, who I
will agree, in the event of being
awarded a contract, to live on or
near the route aud give the service
personal supervision. This, n
effect, shuts out professional con
tractors, who have heretofore made
bids on a large number of routes,
and when awarded contracts sub
let them at a lower rate per annum
than was received by them, fre
quently resulting in poor service
aud many complaints from the pub
lic.
Under the conti acts which will
be awarded, taking effect July 1,
1904, the free collection and deliv
ery of mail will be made on almost
all star routes; this will give a ser
vice almost the equal of regular
rural delivery' service, the only
features omitted being registering
letters and selling money orders by
carriers on routes.
In this section there are 5,500
routes with 63,000 miles of service,
which, when added to the territory
in which the box delivery feature
has been introduced, will make
21,000 routes with over 250,000
miles of freedehyery of mail, prac
tically all the star routes in the
United States.
The elimination of the profes
sional contractor aud the e tab
lishmeat of free collection and de
livery of mail on star routes has
been introduced through the wise
administration of Hon. W. S.
Snallenberger. Second Assistant
Postmaster General, who is making
an enviable record as ? progressive
and able official.
All postmasters in Georgia and
the contract section have pamphlet
advertisements of all routes in their
state, with instructions to bidders.
It is their duty to give the public
full information as to the new con
tracts and the facilities which will
be afforded through them. Any,
person desiring to make a bid on
a star route shouid call on his post
master for a blank proposal and
instructions as to executing bid.
All bids must be in the bauds of
the department on or before De-
cember i, 1903.
The following is a list of star
routes touching Bartow county.
Ludville, by Rvo, Fairmount,
Erwin and Pinelog to Cartersville,
30.50 miles aud back six times
a week. Present contract pays
$540.77 per annum.

lie waa telling a poker story, but
she only caught this sentence: “And
then, of course, I called, and”—
She interrupted him reproaehful
ly and also with some asperity.
“I've caught you, John Henry!”
she exclaimed. “Here I’ve been try
ing to get you to call on the Joneses
for the last three months, and you
wouldn’t do it—said you didn’t like
to make calls—and then you go and
make one by yourself, or else you go
calling with some one else. Yes,
that must be it! Who is she, John
Henry? Who is this person who
can get you to make calls when you
won’t make them with your wife?”
John Henry looked at his mascu
line friends and winked slyly.
“Shall 1 tell her?” he asked.
“Might as well,” they said.
“In this case,” he then told her,
“three ladies induced me to call.”
“Three?” .
“Yes; but,” he hastened to add,
“if you came across them in the
pack you would probably call them
queens.”
It was a great joke—his mascu
line friends assured him of that —
but he hasn’t succeeded in explain
ing the matter to his wife’s satisfac
tion yet.—Chicago Post.

PRICE OF IRON.
Sout'iern Discuss
the Request for Reduction.
Birmingham, Ala., OcJ:. 2, —
Southern iron mauufacturets held
a meeting here today and discussed
the iron market conditions. There
has been a lull in iron buying, the
consumers purchasing in accord
ance with their immediate needs.
There has been an accumulation
of iron hereabouts, and suggestions
have been made looking to a cur
tailment of production. Northern
aud western furnace companies re
cently addressed letters to the
southern manufacturers also sug
gesting a curtailment of produc
tion. At a meeting of the South
ern Iron Company, held yesterday
in New York, there was a reduc
tion made in iron freight rates.
At noon today the following
announcement was made by the
southern iron manufacturers:
“At a meeting held today of a
majority of the southern pig iron
producers it was suggested that, in
view of the present overproduc
tion, the output of pig iron in the
southern district be reduced ap
proximately 25 per cent, of their
present respectivecapacities during
the quarter ending December 31,
1903, by the voluntary action of
the producers. A committee was
appointed to see furnace interests
not in attendance at the meeting,
aud to report at a meeting to be
held at an early da’.e.”
The iron producers will meet tr
morrow again and continue the
discussion. A reduction ot iron
quotations is not improbable. East
ern consumers are now getting the
product in this section from 75
cents to $1 per ton cheaper than
western and other buyers. It is
likely that there will be an adjudi
cation of quotations. The Bir
mingham district is now carrying
more than 150,003 tonsof pig iiou,
but there is no embarrassment, as
far as can be learned, in any quar
ter, even with the 'Surplus iron on
hand.

The poet s exclamation: “O Life!
I feel thee bounding in my veins,” is
a joyous one Persons that can rarely
or never make it. in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu
nate. They do not live, but exist; for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be well and strong —to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary dt ties
of the day, and to retire not over
come by them—to feel life bounding
in the veins. A medicine that has
111 ale thousands of people, men and
women, well and strong, has accom
plished a great work, bestowing the
richest blessings, and that medicine
is Hood's Harsapanlla. The weak,
run-down, or debilitated, from any
cause, should not fail to take it. It
builds up the whole system, changes
existence into life, and makes life
more abounding. We are glad to say
these words in itsfavor to the readers
of our columns.
