E. G. Willingham & Sons
Both Phones. 642 Whltehsl! St
Washington. Aua. 12.—In a statement
Issued today by the postolllcc depart
ment 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.
While some of the Southern states
were slow to recognise the advantage*
of rural delivery, this ran not be said
of Georgia, for It Is a mntter of record
that long.before there were as many as
half a doxen applications for the service
presented from some of the neighboring
states, there were In operation In Geor
gia several hundred routes and peti
tions pending for ns many more.
The first rural route In that state was
established out of the postofhep at Quit-
man December, 1896.
On August 1. 1909. there were In
operation In Georgia 1.594 rural routes
and there are pending, unacted upon. 69
petitions for additional Service.
Service has been organised on a
county basis In 22 counties and other
counties will be taken up for reorgan
isation as rapidly as conditions will
permit. The reason that so many routes
were put Into operation In Georgia and
other states was the foresight of the
people In promptly presenting their pe
titions.
Rural carriers In Georgia travel dnlly
except Sundays and holidays nearly
40.000 miles of highway nnd serve nbout
630.000 rural'residents. Since the es
tnbllsh'iient of the first route In the
state extension and maintenance of the
service In Georgia It has cost the gov
ernment about 56,700.000, the present
annual rate of cost lie Ing a little moro
than 51.600,000.
