The daily rural mall delivery has
passed far beyond the experimental
stage, and It has come to stay. Not
only to stay, but to grow nnd widen
and bring more contentment and hap
piness to rural life. The system has
already brought thousands of farmers
nil over Georgia in close touth with
the busy world, and the market quota
tions, by delivering at their doors early
In the day the morning newspapers.
Hnpid transit by early trains put The
Telegraph, for Instance, at hundreds of
distributing poatofflcen before the sun
Is up—to hundreds of others by the
breakfast hour. The rural route men
start out soon after its arrival, and be
fore noon the pnper is thrown In at
the farmer's door, In many cases, twen
ty miles away from the nearest rail
road station.
And thus early and dally the morn
ing newspaper goes to thousands of
homes never visited before, nnd brings
ns many farmers in close touch with
merchant, manufacturer and cotton
buyer, not to mention the general newe
of the world.
The rural route system Is a great
thing for the farmer, and Incidentally
for the business man and the morning
yn per.

The city council of Macon Is ft busi
ness body. It in getting a real hump
on >
The time was when a newspaper re
port of the proceedings could be put in
thirty or 'forty lines. Everything was
settled in caucus behind closed doors,
nnd the people were denied the privi
lege of taking up The Telegraph next
morning and learning what their public
hcrvants wer# talking about and doing.
They saw a little routine work—that
was all.
But things have changed. The pro
ceedings are as lively as a debating so
ciety. and that Is the way. It ought to
be. There ought to be discussions, and
these discussions ought to be in pub
lic—as they are now—with two or three
reporters afooomfortable desks prepar
ing It all for the public eye and ear.
It brings about a healthier atmosphere
an6 a better understanding.
The city council Is doing well—It Is
doing Its best, on the who!e-and The
Telegraph cheerfully gives ample space
to Its proceedings. There Is nothing
like publicity In public matters. The
debates arq sometimes sharp and testy
-and that is all right. It gives a spicy
zest to things. There Is nothing like an
open, free and full discussion, and a
fair fight. Where there Is freedom of
debato there comes a fuller and better
understanding of things among the al
dermen themselves, and the public as
well, It begets confidence and brings a
closer relationship between constitu
ents and their .public servants.
The city council can do a great deal
In Its legislative capacity to help on
ward “Macon’s leap forward." In ev
ery good work for the advancement of
our beloved Macon the clfy government
can count on tho full and hearty co-op
eration’of The Telegraph. It will be a
labor of love with us. At the same time
this paper will criticize candidly, but
fairly, any action, or proposed action,
which In Its Judgment does not appeal
to bo for the best for our community.
It will Insist on economy and the small
est posslblo tax rate consistent with
legitimate needs.
We felicitate the city fathers, and
will sustuln them In ail good works/

Sandcrsville Progress; The n fga
price of cotton Is a big temptation to

VALDOSTA, Oa„ Feb. 18.—Mr. Jo-
Heph 13. Martin of this city, who also
jercantlle and naval storea inter-
iU at Melrose, shot and killed T. W-
Wllilamaon, a merchant of Melrose,last
night about dark. Williamson fired
on Martin first, the load of shot seat
ing over Martin’s body .inrilegs and
ljuring him seriously. ’
It is understood that the two men
been at outs for a number of
ears, Martin having shot him several
ears ago In an altercation, as Will-
on was raising his gun to shoot
Martin. Recently th** bad blood be*
the two men has caused uneasl-
among their friends, and Martin
told some of his friends here a short
ago that he thought he would
have to move away from Melrose
or have trouble with Williamson, who
known to be a very determined
a week or more Williamson Is
Md to have been In a very ugly mood,
and only last Saturday his wife came
and swore out a peace warrant
against him, he having shot at her that
day.
Yesterday evening, Just before night,
artln went to the postoffice after his
mall. He wore a heavy overcoat, tn
the pockets of which was a pair of
heavy riding gloves. Ha stepped from
the postoffice to the edge of the side-
ami was leaning against a tree
he heard somebody approaching
him from the rear and saying: “I have
got you n6w. nnd we had Just as well
have this thing out."
he turned to look. Williamson
fired upon him. The hulk of the load
■truck his pocket and gloves and he
as thus saved fronj a much worse
ound;. About thirty shot entered hls
legs and side.
He turned immediately. to his own
■tore and secured hls gun nnd then
came out to see Williamson. In the
meantime hls wounds were bleeding and
h* was beginning to weaken from the
loss of blood. Going to hls rear door,
he saw Williamson leaving the postof-
flee byythe rear door. He leveled hls
gun at him and shot him to death.
Martin came into this city on the
night trnln and Informed the officials
of the tragedy, and also placed himself
in the hands of hls physician.
Public sympathy seems to be entirely
with Martin.
