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. In Memoriam. THE GLOBE OF MARS. 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 time of his decease, Dec. 28, 1905, showing they must make to the j its active Sabbath School superin department, and our representa I temlent. Before that he was for a tives in congress are doing every j long time the superintendent of thing possible for them at the end the union Sunday school at China of the line.

Hess i 0M of the Presbyterian Church Among other things he says: of Turin 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 discerning right 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.

This is due to the fact of tho premi um being a fixed amount payable at certain times; it comes to he looked at in the nature of an obligation to make preparation to meet it. , The increasing value of the pulley as each premium is paid gives a feeling of satisfaction, and even induces, if necessary, the making of sacrifices l«, meet the premium.
