Mr. Aiken Defends Rural Carriers.
Washington, April 20.-One ol
the amendments to the post-offioo
bill introduced by Representative
Aiken provided for au additional
appropriation of #4.000,000 for the
purpose of providing rural mail car
riers with horse hire and wagon
equipment. Mr. Aiken made a speech
on this sul'jfct, portions of which
illuminate the subject of the rural
carrier service and the attitude of
the postal authorities towards it oon
oerniug thc matter of the rural s?-r
vioespaytng' iff "dollar's ?ud "cents.
He Ad:
"^uTba* >t been the poliey of the
govertinrent. to measure tho utility of
a service by the actual dollars re
verting through that service ,to the
public treasury ? Is this-the prece 1
dent established in voting hundreds
of thousands annually for extra fast
service on mail trains? Is this the
precedent established in paying
bonuses to steamship lines for car
rying a few pounds of mail to remote
and comparatively unimportant
points in Central and South America
for the accommodation of a few iso
lated American citizens ? Is this the
preoedent in voting hundreds of
thousands of dollars for pneumatic
tube service, for the exclusive ac
commodation of certain sections of
this country? Who will contend
that the government revenues are
^ilcreaBed $1, directly, for $?0 ex
pended in any one of the ways we
have mentioned ? Why then should
we vary the rule when applied to
the rural delivery service? Does it
count for nothing that this service is
linking in daily communication sec
tions heretofore remote and isolated ;
and that it is stimulating, to a mar
velous degree, social and business
intercourse between country and
town ? Does it count for nothing
that this service dispels, in large
measure, that isolation which makes
life in the country less desirable than
iu populous centers?"
But it is of the carriers themselves
that Mr. Aiken gave most attention
and his remarks went to thc details
of the oarrjers' work. Said he :
"The rural carrier receives #750 at
thc most, must furnish his horse and
buggy and feed his horse, which rc
\ pures an annual outlay of not less
than $260. It has boen thoroughly
demonstrated that a good horse can
not stand constant driving for more
than two years, ami that a buggy
will wear out in that time, with con
stant usc needs no demonstration.
Placing then the annual necessary
expense to the carrier at not less
than ((260, he is expected to ride 26
miles per day, 80Q days in tho year,
for less than $460. Is there a clerk,
of the thousands in the departments,
who would exchange places with tho
rural carries, even with an increase
Jot* $500 in thc carrier's pay ?"

Good Work by Our Congressman.
Elsewhere in this issue is printed
Home extracts hom a speeoh by Con
gre SHin?. i Aiken sd vocating increased
pay of r .ral carriers. The amend
ment whic. he offers' to the appro
priation bill is to increase their pay
to $841). This is leM than bo for
mel ly asked for, but in view of an
ovid?nt tlesin- on the part of thu
Post Office Department to cut down
and cripple the service, be doubtless
thought it futile to attempt a greater
increase at this time. There ib wis
dom Th the old saying that ahalf a
loaf is hotter than no loaf."
That he., will ultimately.secure au
increase hi the pay of the carriers
there is little doubt. Persistence is
one of his strong Quirns. Once he
hail taken up aT fight'for his constitu
ents, there is no let up until some
thing is doue.
A year or so ago he began the
fight for the establishment of a bu
reau of information on Ellis Island
to protect this State from worthless
immigrants, and to present the ad
vantages of the State to those really
worthy of citizenship. The daily
papers of the 17th bring the intelli
gence that a favorable report on an
amendment plumbing the line of his
bill will he made.
It is through bis persistence and
influence as a member of the Pension
Committee that al! difficult oases of
pension for Spanish War and Mexi
can War services have passed the
House. Ile bas rendered services to
the Congressmen of this State, North

Washington, April 20.-The owe
of J. G. Miiion, Leonard and' Jesse'
Rawlings WHS decided Monday hy tba
Supremo Court ut. the -lj nited - S tutes
against them, the opinion being ren
dered by Justice Holmes. Thia was
a criminal proceeding against the
four men, all of them members of
one family residing in Lowndes
county, Georgia, on a charge of mur
dering two members of a family
named Carter, with wbiou family the
Rawlings had a feud. Ii is charged
that they employed a negro, named
Mooro, to mnrdertbe uti tire Carter
family, and tha} pome of the members
or the'Rawlings faintly accompanied
bim V>; tjiu Cfcrterfrfeajdeuoe on the
night of the tragedy. By making a
noise they aUTaet&i I? boy and his
sinter outside the-.-house and then
shot them down. Other members of
the family refused to come out and,
therefore, escaped. On the trial all
of the members of the Rawlings
family, whose names are given, ex
cept Leonard, were found guilty of
murder, and he received a sentence
of life imprisonment. The Supreme
Court of Georgia affirmed the verdict
of the tri; ' Court, and the case was
brought to the Federal Supreme
Court on the allegation of discrimi
nation in seleclir?? the trial jury, in
that all professional men were ex
cluded. The Court held that the
men had not been deprived of any
constitutional right and sustained
the decisions of the State Court.

Dear Si : If our agent charges you 10
cents more for a gallon' of ?<paint thau
somebody else, don't think he is making
more profit. We charge him more. It
costs ?B more. It is all paint, true paint,
and full-measure.
No other paint is all paint, true paint,
aud full measure, HO far as we know.
That is wron?. We know some that are
pure and full-measure, but weak, thin,
too much oil and too little lead-and-zino
-an honest sort of weakness; don't
know any better, may be.
It amounts to this: so far as we know,
and we think we know tho whole Ameri
can trade; there is no other name but
Dev.ie that stands for all paint, full-mea
sure, and right proportion. That's why
it takes loes gallons and wears longor.
