ATLANTA BUGGY COMPANY, - - Atlanta. Georgia
The Rural Free Delivery Crisis
A great deal of interest has been
aroused in the rural districts of the
southern states over the menace to
rural free delivery involed in the
evident determination of the post-
office department to cut out the
weaker routes if they do not make
a business showing that meets the
new requirements of the depart
ment. These nesv requirements
seem to be that the rural route
must show a minimum number of
pieces of mail handled in a quarter,
failing in which, it will be discon
tinued entirely or consolidated
with the nearest rural route. Dur
ing the past month two rural
routes in Upson county, Georgia,
which fell short of the test, were
consolidated. Since the first of
the year quite a number of mail
routes in southern states have
been either discontinued or con
solidated with other routes.
The Constitution has for some
time been giving editorial atten
tion to this unfortunate turn of af
fairs in the attitude of the federal
postoffice department toward the
non self-supporting rural routes of
the south, and our efforts to call
public attention, and the attention
of the people’s representatives in
congress, to a condition that act
ually threatens southern progress
and development, have met with
most gratifying response. The
rural routes of the south are be
stirring themselves f o improve the
There is much truth in this, and
to exact too severe a test on the
new and necessarily weak routes
of the south before they are given
time and a fair chance to prove
their capacity for growth and
eventual self support smacks of
sectional discrimination and un
fairness. At any rate, that view
of it is taken by many of the pa
trons of these threatened southern
routes.
All friends of rural free delivery
should rally to the support of the
system at this critical juncture.
The routes already established
should be given a chance for their
lives, even if this has to be done at
the expense of establishing new
routes.—Atlanta Constitution.

Memorial to Andrew Caldwell
Russell.
Born of Robert and Mary Brown
Russell (of Scotch descent), Nov.
9, 1825, in Newberry District,
South Carolina; he was married
Jan. 6, 1857, to Miss Rebecca
Caroline Park,of Meriwether coun
ty, Georgia. On August 12, 1845,
he made public profession of his
faith in Christ, and united with
White Oak (afterward Turin)
Presbyterian Churchy and on Oct.
11, 1888, was elected to the Ruling
Eldership in the same. Since the
organization of the Turin church,
he was continuously, up to the

In Tully, Cavan county, Ireland,
sixty-seven years ago, Miss Mar
garet Latimer was born in the
home of Rev. Hugh and Mrs.
Latimer of sacred memory.
When quite young, her parents
removed from the Emerald Isle to
the United States, making their
new home near Palmetto, Ga. She
exchanged the rippling music of
the Erne, the Woodford and the
Annalee for the streams of dear
old Georgia, and brought with her
into the new world, the resistless
energy, the fixedness of purpose
and the genial humor of Erin’s
noblest and best.
She is survived by a devoted
sister and brother—Miss Sophia
Latimer of Palmetto, and Rev.
Arthur Latimer of Atlanta, and
nieces and nephews who were ar
dently attached to her.
She had made her home for
years with Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Murphey, the latter of whom is a
beloved niece. By her cheerful
demeanor and helpful, consistent
life, she won an exalted place in
this family’s affections—a place
that none can fill. Little Arthur
Hutchinson Murphey and sister,
Willella, called forth the full tide
of mother love, implanted in her
tender bosom by nature.
During her last, painful illness,
the angel of God kept her com
pany; and well could she say, “He,
whose I am and whom I serve,"
holds my failing hand in his
mighty grasp. She brought forth
for the Master p health, an hun
dred fold, and, trough the deep
waters of affiid|on, he sustained
the faltering yps of his loyal
worshiper. For the golden largess
of her faithful three score years,
He gave her the priceless gift of
a pure heart to carry home to
heaven. Through all life’s many
changes she kept her gaze fixed
upon the Star of Bethlehem.
When connected with Millera-
burg College, Ky., she won lasting
confidence by her superior judg-
ment, her firm rule of those in
health and her motherly tender
ness to the sick. Sne was noted
tor the faultless propriety of her
attitude on all questions concern
ing the welfare of the students.
The bright light of her comely,
smiling face induced happy answer
ing smiles, and many would re
mark, “The sunshine of Miss Mar
garet’s heart is overflowing her
benevolent face
High,above the distracting cares
of life, she bore with purpose if
heart, the cup of love her Master
had filled dor her. God gave her
the Christian’s unerring ken in

Wkat W» Know to n Certainty Aboat
the Planet.
We know that the years of Mars, al
most twice as long as ours, are com
posed of 080 days, 23 hours, 30 minutes
and 41 seconds, and surely nothing
need be more precise. Wo know also
that the duration of day and night, or,
to speak more exactly, that ef the diur
nal rotation, Is 24 hours, 37 minutes
and 22 05-UM) seconds. We kuow fur
ther that since the Inclination of Its
axis of rotation Is 24 dogrees 52
minutes the seasons there are sensibly
of the same Intensity as upon our
planet. Besides, with our own eyes
we see the polar snows melt during the
summer and reappear lu the winter.
Furthermore, we know very exactly
the geography of this neighboring
globe, and In this respect there Is hard
ly any more mystery for us than In Its
calendar. We have observations and
detailed drawings of Its continents, its
seas. Its streams, Its Islands, Us capes,
the mouths of its great rivers uml Its
canals—there Is not, one might say, a
single point upon the surface of Mars
which hns not been the object of per
petual study on the part of vurlous ob
servers.
Still further, wo know also the den
sity of this globe as well as the In
tensity of gravity upon Its surface, and
these are two dominating dements In
the organisation of Its living residents.
The whole globe of Mars, which has a
diameter of about half that of the
earth (528 thousandths—0,728 kilome
ters or 4,281 miles) weighs only 105
thousandths of our globe, or 025,58-1
qulntllllnus of kilograms. The density
of the materials which compose Mars
Is Inferior to that of the substances
which compose the earth lu the propor
tion of 711 to 1,000. If we compare
this density with that of water, for |
example, wo tlml that the mean density
of the earth Is live and a half times
(5.50) greater than that of water, or,
In otlior words, our globe weighs live
and one-half times as much as a globe
of water of the same dimensions. But
Murs weighs not quite four times (3.01)
as much as a glolm of water of Its di
mensions. Its component suhHtauces
are, then, less dense than ours.
Once more, gravity there Is much
less powerful than upon the earth, In
the proportion of 370 to 1,000—that Is
to say that a mass of 1,000 pounds
transported to Mars nnd there weighed
by a spring balance would weigh only
370 pounds and that a man weighing
100 pounds upon the earth would weigh
only 00 pounds upon the surface of the
neighboring globe. Hero we have ab
solute duta, demonstrated mathematic
ally and Indisputable, data with which
Imagination has nothing whatever to
do.
