GEORGIA LEADING. | Ahead of Other Southern States in Num- ‘ ber of Rurel Mail Routes. | Washington, D. C.—ln a statement: issued by the postoffice department it is shown that on August 2, 1909, there were in operation 40,919 rural postal routes in the United States | served by 40,804 carriers. ¢ I While some of the Southern states | were slow to recognize the advantages oé rural‘del}very, this can not be said ‘tha%gzbhg“ betb?ifth*éar‘e 'we‘i’e’fif%%m s‘-‘l‘%?“ as half a dozen appllications for the service presented from some of the neighboring states, there were In operation in Georgia several hundred routes and petitions pending for as many more, : On August 1, 1909, there were in operation in Georgia 1,594 rural routes and there are penrding, unacted upon, 59 petitions for additional service. Service has been organized on a county basis in 32 counties and other counties will be talken up for reorgan ization as rapidly as conditions will permit, The reason that so many routes were put into operation in Georgia and cther states was the tore sight of the people in promptly pre senting their petitions. Rural carriers in Georgia ' travel daily except Sunday and holidays nearly 40,000 miles of highway and serve about 630,000 rural residents. Since the establishment of the first route in the state extension® and maintenance of the service in Georgia it has cost the government about $6, 700,000, the present annual rate of cost being a little more than $1,500,000. NATIONAL GUARD IMPROVING. Majcr Palmer Pays High Tribute to the Georgia Enlisted Men. Atlanta, Ga.—The report of Inspsc tor General F, L. Palmer, U. 8. A., retired, &8s to the condition of the Na ticnal .Guard of Georgia, declares that there has been @ general and undoubt ed improvement as compared with cenditions last year, but peints out a number of defects in the various mili tary organizations of the state, The criticism most stressed as counting against efficient and well disciplined military companiez is that the- commissioned officers are too often chosen for social and political reascns, rather than for military skill and abillty, i However, the report notes improve ment throughout the state and credits it to the general interest and zeal of the commissicned personnel taken as a whole, and of the unfailing enthusi asm, energy, intelligence and zeal of the enlisted men. This ix’ovement. coupled with the promise O¥Fstill great er improvement for the coming vear, gives every encouragement for the he lief that the Nationol Guard will be a thorough success through progessive development along the present lines and is so already to a very large and gatisfactory degree, Major Palmer declares that great interest was shown in the inspection by all concerned and every effort made, generally speaking, to make the inspection a creditable one.
