Something is going to be done n the rural free delivery business lne before very long. The post ffree depatrtment is going to dis ontinue a large number of routes, hose on which the service is not appreciated" is the way it is pot n the office of the department. I asked Mr. Spillman, the superin enent of the rural free delivery service, yesterday, what he meant by "appreciated." o'Whr," said he, "where the p. ople Tare not -using the service." "But you have recently issued an crder directing that the count ng of the mail pieces be discon tinued, how are you~ going to tell whether they are using the ser vice or not?" "Whenever we have reason to believe that the serv~ce is not be ing appreciated we will send our inspectors over the route and have them report onL it, Then we will order the number of pieces handled counted for a given pe riod." Representative Johnson in talk ing with me about this matter a few days ago said that the best way for the country people of So:h Carolina to maintain their routes is to begin using them more, and tbe best and cheapest way t, do this is to begin taking more daily papers. E-ich patper counts a piece of mail handled, the paper is a good thing for the man to have, he ought to take it a iyway; and so like the quality of nercy it blessed him who g av .8 ad him who takes.
