NO MORE PROBIBITION FIGHTS.
Georgia Seems To Be Safe for at
Least Two More Years.
Atlanta, Ga.—lt is a safe prediction
that the prohibition situation in Geor
gia is now settled for at least two
years.
It is extremely improbable that any
attempt will be made to meddle with
the law at the 1910 sessiop
The Georgia prohibition law is suf
ficlently strict to reach all violators
in any community where the senti
ment is in favor of enforcing the law.
NO MONEY FOR NEW PENSIONS.
Legislature Failed to Make Appropri
ation As Provided on the Bill,
Atlanta, Ga.—Pensions under the
new pension law, passed at the 1903
session of the legislature, and which
was voted upon by the people of the
state and ratified will not go into ef
fect this year, as the bill carried an
appropriation, and the state legisla
ture st the session just ended failed
to make the appropriation.
On account of the failure to pass
the appropriation, there will be no
pensions paid under the new act.
MAT FOR UMBRELLA JAR.
If you dread your umbrella jar will
be broken from careless handling,
try putting a rubber mat in the bot

hers a circle of rubber tubing on
top of which is a flat tin plate wita
slightly upturned edze. The tubing
keeps this from resting on the bot
tom, and it can easily be emptizd
of drippings.—New York FPres.

RURAL MAL, DELIVERY
13th Anniversary of Its Inaugu
ration Approaching. |
40,919 ROUTES IN OPERATION
Some of the Good Influences That the
Rural Free Delivery Routes .
Have Had. ‘
T e o)
Washington, D. C.—On October 1,
1909, the thirteenth anniversary of
the installation of rural delivery in
the United States will be reached. In
commemoration of the event some
suitable recognifion is suggested, as
no branch of the postal service has
had so recent a beginning with equal
ly remarkable results. g
The honor of the first attempt to
test the practicability of such a radi
cal broadening of the operations of in
dividual delivery rests with five routes
from three postofiices in West Vire
ginia, !
The innovation was so great that
it took some time for the people to
be benefited to realize the advantaggg]
in store for them. By the end of the
third fiscal year after this service be
gan but 391 routes were established,
at an annual expenditure of $150,(12.
The convenience, as well as ethieal,
economical, commercial and educa
tional benefits incident to this par
ticular public utility were now so
forcibly demonstrated that expan-|
sion went on rapidly, the cost aggre
gating up to the present time no less
than $170,000,000. The 40,804 car
riers in covering their 40,919 routes
every secular day of the year, except
ing New Year's, Washington's Birth
day, Memorial or Decoration, Inde
pendence and Labor and Thanksgiv
ing days, or the Monday following;
should those days fall on the Sab
bath. In making their daily round,
more than 20,000,000 rural residents
are served.
In looking back over what has been
accomplished during the brief period
of its existence, it is apparent that the
rural delivery service is a great pubs;
lic convenience., Results are the best
commendation aad these are sustain
ed by unanimous expressions of ap:
proval of patrons. s
From an ethical point of view the
utility of the service is eviden.t;,:d
many ways. It brings the rural "d
ulation into neighborly relation ship

i h dfi e Loskos I‘.""’°"‘7's“"?":s"%_
ties are afforded to keep tah on the
markets as to prices of products and
commodities for sale or purchase. lln
this respect farmers especially find
themselves greatly benefited by con
stant knowledge of the conditions of
trade, 3
In an economical sense the public
has derived advantage from the im
provement and maintenance of roads
over which rural delivery routes are
laid, this being a condition precedent‘
to the .establishment of mail facili
ties. In addition good roads insure‘
greater frequencv and regularity of
mail delivery. With respect to roads,
since the inauguration of this serv
ice, it is estimated that more than
$75,000,000 has been expended in re-|
building, repairs and maintenance. |
As a means of education, the widen
ing of the utilization of the mails by
rural free delivery has largely ex
tended the circulation of local and
metropolitan newspapers, magazines
and general literature, besides hav
ing proved a stimulus to more ex
tended personal correspondence,
The popularity of rural delivery
among farmers and others living away
from communities having city mail fa
cilities is shown in a summary of
this service that Postmaster General
Hitchcock ordered prepared in the of
fice of the fourth assistant postmaster
general up to August, 1909. |
This exhihit gives 40,919 routes in:
operation served by 40,804 carriers. Of
the total number of routes 622 are tri
weekly. In bringing the service un;
to its present high state of organiza
tion and efficiency, 60,180 petitions
were received and investigated, Of
this number 17,163 were reported upon
adversely, At the close of this renort
1,432 petitions were pending, of which
202 have been assigned for establish
ment between August 16 and October
1, 1909, leaving 1,230 unacted upon.
The seeming discrepancy between
the number of rural routes and car
riers is accounted for by instances
where there oxists tri-weekly service
on more than one rural route out of
an office, one carrier serving two
routes alternating each day. |
The state having the largest {lum-\
ber of rural delivery routes at ‘this’
date is Illinois, 2,284, There are seven
states with more than New York (1,
841- first in population, and four with
more than Pennsylvania (2,163) sec-‘
ond in number of inhabitants. |

Louisville Men Had $1,000,000 in Bogus
‘ Mexican Money.
Louisville, Ky.—Dreams of wealth
Which refiected their gaudy hues from
& brass-bound trunk containing a mil
lion dollars in counterfeit Mexican
besos, were shattered for Johm C.and
Marion Roberts here when Deputy
United States Marshal William Blay
des arrested john Roberts in Shel
by county with the money in his pos
‘session.
. Since the hour of the arrest there
has been unravelled in the custom
house of Louisville aid in central po
lice station a tale of attempied flnan
‘clal buccaneering that puts into shad-
OW some of the boldest exploits in the
‘history of counterfeiting,
. The scheme, as explained to the
|brokers, contemplated no less than a
counterfeit corporation with counter
feit stock certificates, its business to
Dbe done with counterfeit money,
. Though all plans and collateral
Were to be false, Marion Roberts told
‘the brokers that the money he “made”
—Mexican or American—as desired—
i was flawlessly accurate and could not
(be detected. He proposed, according to
them, to counterfeit stock certificates
(0f corporations as selid as the Penn-
Esylvauia and Louisville & Nashville
| Railroads and the Louisville Railway
. Company. He proposed that they buy
real stock with fake money and give
counterfeit stock certificates in .any
exchange they might make.
It was through Marion Roberts that
the counterfeiters were apprehended.
M&don Roberts, some days ago, ap
proached J. M. Fetter & Co., Louig
ville brokers, and made the proposi
tion that they dispose of counterfeit
Mexican pesos at a high commission.
The brokers notified Chief of Police
J. H. Haagor, who, at once, enlisted
the secret service men and the trap
to catch Marion Roberts was laid.
When Marshal Blaydes confronted
'John Roberts in the hamlet in Shelby
county, the chief counterfeiter admit
ted he was behind the plan to dispose
of the imitation pesos through the
Louisville brokers, He showed Blay
des a brass bound trunk of the sort es
pecially constructed to figure in ro
mances, and this was fllled with sl,-
000,000 in the crisp Mexican notes.
Roberts _said he would have been in
Mexico with the trunk a weelk ago had
lie not been awaiting the arrival of a
perforating machine and a device for
numbering the bills.
