It is pretty certain that Rural Free Delivery routes which fall below a | reasonable patronage are going to be ! discontinued in the verv near future. j The Courier observes in the Con| ^ gressional Record that on April 11th Congressman Asbury F. Lever, of South Carolina, delivered a lentby speech in the house in opposition to catting out rural free delivery routes, because they were not patronized up to a reasonable Btandprd. We quote from his speech this lengthy paragraph: "Mr. Chairman, this letter of the fourth assistant postmaster general shows another thing to which I wish to call the attention of the house. In writing General De Graw, I aeked him to furnish me the names of the states in which there seemed to be the least appreciation of rural service as shown by the amount of patronage. I confess that I was not surprised, for I suspected that the ? i m m ? t it # it state or racts as snown oy me iourtn assistant's letter was perhaps the reason for the rule, when I found' him writiog that "the states included among those handling less than 3,000 pieces of mail per route per month are Indian Territory, Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, District of Columbia, Georgia, Arkansas, Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi." Thus we see that the solid Democratic South falls within this arbitrary and suspicious rule of the department. Not a single state among those mentioned in this letter is above the historic line of Mason and Dixon, and I feel that I am justified in the suspicion that this' new Vegulation was adopted for the purpose of perpetuating the policy of discrimination against the South, which has been pursued by the de partment since the beginning of this service. I am not building straw men for the purpose of knocking them down, bnt the records of the department will bear me out in the statement that this service has been administered in a sectional and partisan manner. And let me say in this connection, Mr. Chairman, that but for the zeal and energy of Southern representatives in congress rural delivery would not today be in existence. It was a Southern man who first proposed :t to congress and Southern men have been its most zealous friends and advocates." It will be observed that Texas is in the list of states that are to suffer as is shown by Congressman Lever in the above extract. It is on account of this threatened danger to the routes in Smith county that The Courier is publishing elsewhere an article explaning to the citizens on these routes how they can make their routes permanent.

Looks Now as if the State j Will Have to Sue. It seems almost certain that the State will not get the $16,000 stolen from the State treasurer's office in bonds without a suit. Treasurer Jenning3 claims that the stealing occurred in the administrations of Treasurer Timmerman and Bates as as in his own, and that be is reeponsi hie for only about $l,uuu ol tne umount, if anything. Dr. Timmerman, on the other baud, has indicated thai he will pay nothing unless compelled by the courts to do so, and Dr. Bates is also in the position of the Miseourian. The result is that i nobody seems willing to pay anything. Governor Heyward brought matters to a head today by a letter be sent to Captain JenniDgs demanding prompt information as to what steps, if any, bad been taken to reimburse the State for the loss. Captain Jennings replied that h6 was negotiating wnb tap local bank >fco put up a bond for $1,000 to cover bis liability until the matter is finally determined, but that be could not speak for the others. Tbese two letters will be turned over to the attor Dey general Tor advice as to wnat step should be taken next. The tax that is contained in Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar is harmless.
