RURAL SYSTEM
IS POPULAR
INSPECTOR LINN INVESTIGATES
RURAL DELIVERY OUT OF ROME.
PEOPLE ARE DELIGHTED WITH SERVICE
From a Novelty and Luxury it Be-
< nie*a Necessity—Three Routes
in This County.
C. T. McCoy, inspector of post
offices. and Mr. Linn, inspector of
the rural delivery service, are here.
Both gentlemen have been in the
government’ service many years, and
are constantly traveling in all parts
of the county.
Mr. Linn is making a thorough ex
amination of the rural delivery, and
has been over the three routes in
operation out of Rome. Monday he
made the trip over the the Coosa
ville route with Tom Higginbotham,
the colored carrier.
Yesterday he and Postmaster
Hamilton traveled over some of the
otiier routes, and made careful and
dilligent enquiry into the service.
Mr. Linn was very much pleased
with the three routes now in opera
tion. and the success achieved. He
questioned people along the routes as
he came to them, and notan instance
is recorded of dissatisfaction with
the service.
On the contrary everybody is de
lighted, and what at first proved a
novelty and luxury is now a neces
sity. It would be difficult to find
any beneficiaries of the service who
would be willing to give it up.
The moral and educational bene
fits from rural delivery can scarcely
be estimated. It brings people living
in isolated communities in daily
touch with the world. It broadens
their minds, quickens the interest
and sympathy for and in the great
world that hitherto only faint echos
from were ever heard. Farmers can
take the daily papers and know the
events in every part of the globe al
most as soon as the city man.
The government has recognized
the tremendous educational possi
bilities of the system and have de
cided to further increase and broaden
the service by permitting the star
routes in a measure to supplement
the system of rural delivery.
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Shattenberger has found that it
is feasible to permit carriers on star
routes to deposite mail in proper re
ceptacles placed along their line of
travel.
This plan will be inaugurated in
South Carolina beginning July 1, and
will be extended to other parts of the
country rapidly as possible. This in-;
novation makes necessary a change in
the postal regulations, which forbid
mail contractors and their drivers
access to mail matter or any mail
locks or keys.
The day is not far distant, many
believe, when a large percentage of
small and almost useless offices will
be abandoned, and the country will
be cob-webbed with the daily rural
delivery.
As stated three routes are operated
out of Rome, and covering a good
territory. The; carriers are James
Holloway, T. C. Morris and Tom
Higginbotham. It is not improbable
that more routes will be established
in this county at a future date.
Consumption Threatened.
C. Unger, 212 Maple St., Champaign
111., writes: “I was troubled with a
haoKing cough for a year and I thought
I had ths consumption I tried a great
many remedies and was under the care
of physicians for several months. T used
one bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar
and it cured me, and I have not been
troubled since ” Curry-Arrington Co
Death of Mrs. Tolbert.
Mrs. Oscar Tolbert died of con
sumption at her home in North

Cedartown People Stop Mr. Deßarde
leben’s Work at Cave Spring.
From a Cave Spring man who was
in Rome yesterday it was learned
that Mr. Deßardeleben, who made
some extensive purchases of iron ore
property around that place, is much
disgusted at the injunction proceed
ings instituted by some Cedartown
parties.
These people, it seems, held an old
charter for a railroad from Cave
Spring to Cedartown. They claim
the line the Southern railway is
building interferes with their char
ter rights.
Mr. Deßardeleben says he has not
claimed that the Southern would
build to Cedartown, but only a spur
track to the iron ore mines he has
purchased. The object of the injunc
tion, it is said, is to force Mr. Deßar
deleben to buy tiie charter.

LIGHT GUARDS.
J. N. Harrison Nominated as Captain
of Popular Military Company.
At a meeting of the Rome Light
Guards last evening the following
popular young gentlemen were nom
inated for officers:
J. N. Harrison, captain.
John T. Harvard, first lieutenant.
Frank Omberg, second lieutenant.
Some weeks ago Captain W. A.
Patton, who has been the extremely
popular and capable commander of
the Guards for several years, re
signed to the regret of the entire
company. Capt. Patton’s business
interests would not permit the time
and attention necessary to military
affairs and he gave it up.
The nominations were all practi
cally unanimous, and the election of >
those named, of course, is assured. |
Mr. Harrison’s promotion in local:
military circles has been rapid, 1
testifying both to his popularity and
efficiency. Only a few weeks ago he I
was elected second lieutenant of the :
company. j
Lieut. Harvard is simply renomi
nated for first lieutenant. He is en- !
tirely capable, and is liked by all the j
boys. Mr. Omberg will add to the
company, and will do excellent ser
vice in putting it on a high plane.

To Consumers of Electric Lights.
All consumers of electric lights
burning over four 16 candle power
lamps will be charged meter rates.
The meters will be installed free
without charge, and until the meters
are introduced the present rates will
continue.
The meter rate will be 12 cents per
1000 Watts or % of a cent per hour for
a 16 c. p. light, with discounts on all
bills paidjbefore the 10th of the month
following the service.
The meter rate of 12 cents per 1000
Watts is the rate charged in Atlanta
and is lower than the meter rate
heretofore charged in Rome.
There has been no increase in the
price of electric lights expecept to
persons burning less than 5 lights,
and they can have the meter rate by
increasing the number of their lights
to 5 16 candle power lamps.

HIGHEST AUTHORITY
As to Whether the Opium Habit Can
Be Cured.
How to permanently and effectually
cure people addicted to the nee of opium
and whiskey has been a question since
time begun. Nearly fifty years ago Dr.
B M. Woolley, of Atlanta, Ga- began
a scientific study ot these habits, and so
successful has he been in their treat
ment that he is today regarded the high
est authority m this country. If inter
ested write him. He will tell you the
truth.

■ Os Rome Which Should Be Opened
Up—People Want to Trade Here.
The merchants of Rome should be ,
constantly on the lookout to open up |
and cultivate new trade territory.
’ Mr. J. B. Carver is just back from
a trip to Lincoln, Ala., which is be-
’ low Gadsden and one mile from lock
_ No. 4. The people there are anxious
to trade in Rome. Recently they
1 shipped 400 bales of cotton to Rome,
‘ and sold it here because they could
get a lower rate of freight by steam
boat than they could to ship it to
Anniston by train.
Mr. Carver thinks if the merchants
5, of Rome would look into the matter
f thoroughly they could largely in
j crease their trade territory.
