8 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.

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. If your stomach is disordered, bowels irregu'ar, and you don’t feel well, you need Prickly Ash Bitters.

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. C -A.

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.

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. e Antognoli Makes a Change. r 0 We have made a change, but not - on the price of bananas, which still e remains at 5 cents per dozen.
