RURAL FRE£ DELIVERY.
Many will be interested in a re
cent order issued by the govern
j rnent post office department as re
| gards free rural delivery. There
are a few routes proposed for Bar
j tow county, and are being pushed
Iby Congressman Maddox. Many
routes have been proposed over
the entire country and many have
been turned down for cause. Free
rural delivery is most desirable
but it takes more than a dirt road
to enjoy them. The new circular
of instructions directs that peti
tioners for such service be heads of
families who shall show the rela
tive population along the route,
character of the road, principle
vocations of the people and dis
tances each one now has to tavel
to receive mail. A map of the
routes proposed is required. The
petition must be indorsed by
either a senator or representative
in congress. Each route must be
over twenty miles long, serving at
least 100 families, and those de
siring the delivery hereafter must
be prepared to put up suitable
boxes.
Rural carriers may carry other
business than United States mail.
Patrons are required to co operate
by keeping the roads up to the
standard in all weather. The max
imum for a full route is approxi
mately twenty-five miles. Carri
ers are to carry a supply of stamps,
stamped envelopes and postal cards
and must cancel stamps on all let
ters collected.
WHAT THEY SHOULD Wr ITE.
The following paragraph is clip
ped from an able article on “Sug
gestions to Correspondents” writ
ten by Editor Fain of the Walton
Tribune, which we think hits the
nail on the head in regards to
what constitutes the character of
news that a correspondent should
write:
“Correspondents should first
write the news of their respective
communities #r fields of labor.
“The news should consist of an
account of the coming and going
of people in your community; re
ports of sickness or deaths in your
neighborhood; crop reports and
farm notes; items in regard to
building or improvements of any
kind denoting progress; and other
items which will suggest them
selves to the correspondent. All
of these items should be written
in a brief, concise and forcible
manner. Death notices should
contain particulars in legard to
life of the deceased; such as, age,
occupation, church affiliation, fam
ily connection, or anything of gen
eral interest.” And we might add
—no jokes.
“Toe Villian Still Pursues 'Er.”
Editor ok Thk News:
Among the various kinds of lies
known to man, there are three
which come to more general notice
than the othes.
First, the white lie —such as the
average mother, when bathing her
child is guilty of, by excusing her
se’f to an inopportune visitor with
a “not at home”—or the young
girl, who, when asked by Tom for
a dance which she is saving for
Joe, says, “I am engaged"—or the
asseverations of every man to the
last woman he courts that she is
his first and only love.
Such lies as these, St. Peter savs
he is too busy to record —and that
in the hereafter, though archan
gels may not range the white liars
among cherubim and seraphim,
they will probably float around
among those jolly crowds of pro
gressive whist aud euchre games
ters who certainly will have been
assigned to a separate mansion
than the one in which forgiven fa
natics, sour hearted mopes and
the like will be suffered to dwell,
Antipodal on earth, anything save
“toto coelo” in eternity would up
set the work of God.
Secondly, the blue lie —such as
under cover of which many mor
tali seek protection from the con
sequences of wrong doing because
of weakness. This lie, not al
ways carrying with it direct and
immediate wrong to others, is
classified by some theologians as
a venial sin—that is to say, one
from which the sinner by proper
contrition and priestly prayers can
obtain absolution.
The blue lie however is one
which St Peter religiously records
against the sinner—whose ranking
will be pretty low. Having whilst
in the flesh preferred niches where
in other discreditable characters
congregate, the blue liars, the po
litical tricksters and such may ex

pect nothing better in the spiritual
world than that from the free use
of holy water they may have be
come snfficientlv cleansed for as
signment as ambrosial cup bearers
and holders of the golden harps ot
! the white liars.
Thirdly comes the black lie—
I such as is used, not for self-pro
i tection. but with all the bebase-
J ment entailed by the unforgivable
I intent to injure others. This lie,
certain theologians distinguish a;
a mortal sin, signifying its penalty
as deserving death.
Neither St Paul nor archangel
will be disturbed by the knocks
of black liars upon the golden
gates their eternal habitation
having been fixed early after the
creation of man, along with that
of the hypocrite,
Tley are kind of whom Cer
berus will not need an identifying
sniff —nor would Charon risk his
official post in the heirarch of hell
by questioning their free transpor
tation across the Styx. This third
and last lie would also be typified
as follows:
“The legal advertisements for
the month of March cost the peo
ple who have it to pay twenty two
dollars more than it would have
cost them in the Courant Ameri
can. Just why the people who
pay the costs should be doubled
taxed, has never been explained.”
The above was an editorial state
ment of the Courant American of
last week. However insidious, it
is nothing more nor less than the
charging of Sheriff Griffin with
double taxing his fellow citizens.
Now, whose fault is it that the re
quired explanation has not .reach
ed the readers of the Courant
American? Who could have bet
ter furnished the information than
that paper itself? Th£y have cho
sen rather to deceive the masses if
they can—and if possible, in a
well calculated manner, defame the
sheriff.
Well, nothing more was to be
expected from a concern conceiv
ed in iniquity, save that it would
wind up in infamy—“the mills of
the gods grinds slowly, but they
grind exceedingly fine.”

CURRENT GOSSIP
ABOUT POLITICS
Statesmen About the Capital Are
Asking Questions About
the Senatorship.
Steve Posiell in Macon Telegraph
Atlanta, April 7. —Will Senator
Clay have serious opposition and
if so, who will his opponent be, or
will he have two of them?
These are questions that are be
ing asked daily by state politicians
who visit Atlanta, and while no
one seems to be able to answer
them positively, almost all of them
have their opinion as to what will
occur. Some time ago the appear
ances were, that Senator Clay
would have nothing to do except
to say that he was willing to serve
the people for a second term in the
upper branch of the national legis
lature, and he would get it. But
recently the political wheel has
been turning and now the senator
has lots to think about in this con
nection. He would give almost
anything toknow r positively what
the next two years will develop in
the contest for the senatorship.
That he feels uneasy, there is
hardlv a doubt. He has been
counting upon the support of Mr.
dußignon, Governor Candler and
Hon. Clark Howell. But suppose
Governor Candler should take a
notion to run, or to suppose again,
how would he line up in the event
that ex-Governor Northen should
conclude to enter the contest? The
governor’s last utterances in this
connection were that Senator Clay
had made a good representative
and that if he did not flop around
on some of the prominent issues
of the day, the chief executive
would support him for a second
term
T his statement from the governor
was followed up by another that
he would retire from politics when
his term as chief executive of the
state expired. But it is said that
Governor Candler has during his
political life time played several
engagements and may be forced
to play another, as is a well known
fact that he has had within the
last thirty days scores of letters
from prominent Georgians urging
him to be a candidate for se*nator
against Mr. Clay and also that his
friends are asking the question “if
Candler should run could he be
electe
It is a long time before the next
legislature is elected and in the
meantime all sorts of things mav
occur. The pressure upon Governor
Candler may become so strong
that he will announce that he is
ready to play one more farewell
engagement upon the political
stage.
Now all this may and may not
occur but suppose that he does
not run, and instead ex-Governor
Northen concludes to enter the
race, Senator Clay would still be
in jeopardy when it comes to se
curing Gov. Candler’s influence
and support (as it will be remem
bered that a few yearo ago ex-Gov
ernor Northen, while filling the
executive cha<r, appointed Gov.
Car.dler secretary of state to
succeed the late Gen. Philip Cook,
and from this office Secretary of
State Candler climbed into the
executive chair, where he sits
today. This being so, would Gov
ernor Candler support ex-Gover
nor Northen, the man who ap
pointed him secretary of state,or
Senator Clay, who is nothing more
than a strong political friend and
well wisher? The governor has a
steel ribbed record for paying
political debts, and if he was to
go back on Northen in this case,
he would do something that he
has never before been found guilty
of.
As for dußignon, should he run
for governor, he will have so many
troubles of his own he will not
have time to consider those of
others. But for this, he would
unquestionably make a strong pull
for the Cobb county statesman,
and Mr. Clay would do the same
for him foot-loose and secure in
his own political aspirations. All
of this being so, Mr. dußignon
can be left out of all calculations
in the way of helping others should
he determine to enter the race for
governor. Just now the question
of Mr. dußignon’s candidacy, it is
understood, hangs upon the condi
tion of his health when the time
comes for the campaign to com
mence actively, which will not be
before April or May of next vear.
Mr. dußignon's health is said to
be much better, and it may be that
he may again be a strong man phy
sically a year henc.\
Judge R. B. Russell of the
Northern circuit xvas here yester
day, and his presence calls to mind
that a year ago he was thinking
seriously of opposing Senator
Bacon. But he got out of the idea
before the time came to open up
the campaign, and now says that
he has no political aspirations for
for the near future. He says that
he has never Had any idea of run
ning for the senate against Mr.
Clay, and that the published state
ments that he was thinking of
opposing Congressman Tate have
no foundation whatever. He says
that he favors Tate being returned
to congress. Solicitor-General Sam
Maddox and Judge A. W. Fite of
the Cherokee circuit were among
the visitors to Atlanta last week.
Both of them are for Mr. dußignon
should he be a candidate for gov
ernor. and Col. Maddox says that
north Georgia will give the states
man from Chatham county a
strong lift into the executive chair.
SUPREME COURT.
Overturns Decision of the Lower
Courts in a Number of Cases
Involving the Long and
Short Haul Clause.
Washington, April 8. —In the
United States supreme court today
an opinion was handed down by
justice white in various cases in
volving the long and short haul
clause of the interstate commerce
law. The principal opinion was
rendered in the case of the East
Tenness and Georgia Railroad
Cos., and the charge was to the
effect that a lower rate was chang
ed on freight carried to Nashville
than was charged on freight to
Chatnooga, the distance to the
first point being greater than the
latter. The decisions of the inter

of appeals were all antagonistic on
the zailroad company, though to
different grounds. The opinion
handed down today reversed all
these decisions and was in favor
of the railroad company, though
without prejudice. The dicisions
in the other cases were on the
same lines.
Two of the other cases decided
were proceedings againest the
Clyde Steamship Cos., while the
fourth was against the Western
and Atlantic Railroad Cos. In the
latter case the charge of discrimi
nation was made w r ith referene to
the rates from Cincinnati to Atlan
ta as against other places on the
line of the road between the two
points, including Marietta, Car
tersville, Kingston Adairsvilie and
Calhoune. In one of the Clyde
cases rates on the Georgia railroad
are involved and in the other case
rates on the West Point and West
ern road a o Alabama.
In his opinion in the East Ten
nessee case, Justice White said
that the decision of the circuit
court was not in accord with the
finding of facts by the commissio 7.
1 he decision of the supreme court
was, “the decree of the circuit
court of appeals should be revers
ed, with costs, and the case re
manded to the circuit court with
instructions to set aside its decree
adjudging that the order of the
commission be enforced, and to
dismiss the application made for
that purpose with costs, the whole
to be without prejudice to the right
of ttie commission to proceed upon
the evidence already introduced
before it upon such further plead
ings and evidence as it may allow
to be made or introduced to hear
and determine the matter in contro
versy according to law.”
In the cases of the Clyde Steam
ship Cos., the decrees of the circuit
court of appeals and of the cucuit
court were modified by providing
that “ the dismissal of the bills
shall be without prejudice to the
right of the interstate commerce
commission, if it so elects, to make
an original investigation of the
question containrd in the records
pertinent to the complaints pre
sented to the body.” As so modi
fied, the decrees were affirmed.
The East Tennessee railroad case
came from the circuit court of ap
peals to the supreme court and
was first heard in the circuit court
for the Eastern district of Ten
nessee. The other cases were all
first heard in the circuit court for
the Northern district of Georgia,
and came through the circuit court
of appeals from the fifth circuit of
the supreme court.
