Throe Billion Letters a Year Go
Over Rural Routes.
Tlie rural free dellvory service of
the United States moans tho distri
bution of nearly 3,000,000,000 let
ters and parcels annually along the
highways and byways of every State
and Territory from Maine to Alaska.
A force of 41,000 carriers dally go
over thc routes assigned to them.
Bringing the mail to tho farmer
now costs the nation $30,000,000 a
year in salaries for the carriers, ex
pense of examining new routes,
maintaining post offices, payment of
inspectors, special agents, clerks and
chiefs of bureaus.
To secure information to make
changes In routes and carriers where
deemed necessary, to establish new
routes and to record and tabulate
statistics and data for the postmaster
general, as woll as for tho public, a
force of only 110 persons ls required
lu Washington in spit0 of the great
amount of office work that must bo
finished dally.
Over a million letters aro received
and answered by the department of
rural free delivery lu a year. Many
of those received are merely address
ed to the department. To savo timo
of opening and reading missives not
properly directed ls a part of the
work of the mailing section, lt in
cludes a private post oillce through
which every letter received or sent
relative to rural free delivery must
pass.
Every one of the half million and
more letters sent from the depart
ment is copied for record by a me
chanical system which saves tho la
bor of a hundred collying clerks,
eve. where the hand copying press
or the carbon method has been em
ployed. A force of only seventeen
clerks ls needed In this section, yet
in addition to handling and copying
mall they keep a dally record of all
the outlay for postage expenses of
the department, and sort and exam
ine the hundreds of letters daily re
ceived, which must be returned to
the post office where they should
have been directed. ,
What the service does In receiv
ing applications for new routes, peti
tions for carriers, decisions of the
depart nient, the payments and re
ceipts, ts told by the post oillce news
paper, published every day by tho
accounting section. It ls a record of
what every one In this postal count
ing house, including the assistant
postmaster general himself, ls doing.
Every Important item of statistics ts
tabulated In type.
The esprit de corps of the rural
free delivery ls best known by the
last annual report. During the year
it states that out of the 41,000 In the
service the total dismissals for cause
were only 165, less than the total
number of deaths.

Battle Crook, May 30.-Special:
The farmers are generally In line
against general green, as we have
had some rain in this section. Crops
and gardens are needing some atten

The Grand Dode, Independent Or

The next session of this grand order
will be held at Rome, Ga., In 1911.
Athens ls a fine old city, founded In
1801, being 109 years old, and has
a population of 20.000. lt ls also
not-Ml as ii seat of learning. The
people gave the Grand Dodge the.

ACROSS TIIIO ENGLISH CHANNEL
And Huck Again--Marvelous Feat of
An English Aviator.
Dover, Eng., June 2.-Charles S.
Rolls, the English aviator, to-day
Hew across tho English channel from
here Sangatte, Franco, and returned
without stopping.
This ls an unprecedented feat.
Louis Rlorlot and Count de Lesseps
crossed the channel from France to
England, but never before had a con
tinuous Hight between England and
France and return been made.
He Made Splendid Time.
Rolls loft Dover at 6.30 o'clock
and in splendid time had roached the
French coast. Ho circled twice over
Sangatte Cliffs, near Calais, and then
without stopping his engine turned
his aeroplane back to the Rrltlsh
shore.
The distance across the channel ls
twenty-one milos, so Capt. Rolls ac
complished an over-water flight of
forty-two miles, making a new rec
ord for this particularly dangerous
course.
After circling tho cliffs ot San
gatte, Rolls headed straight to sea,
and made the return at a rapid
pace. Three torpedo boats, which
had been strung across the channol
lu anticipation of Hie flight, started
simultaneously with the bird-man
when ho set out for France, bxit
though the boats were driving at full
speed they wore soon overhauled and
passed hy the aviator.
Sketch of tho A viator.
Capt. Chas. S. Rolls, of the Lon
don section of the Anny Motor Re
serve, has successively followed the
sports of bicycling, automobiling,
ballooning and aeroplanlng. At Cam
bridge University bc was the captain
of the bicycling team. Later ho com
peted successfully In numerous auto
mobile competitions, and was award
ed the gold medal for .ns perform
ance In the 1,000-mlle trial of 1900
in England. He has made more
than 160 balloon ascensions.

FRANKLIN'S LAST HOPE (?ONE.
Ornngoburg Negro Loses His Appeal
itt Federal Court.
Washington, Juno 3.-In a decis
ion of the United States Supreme
Court Tuesday, rendered by Justice
Day, the court affirmed the decision
of the South Carolina Supreme Court
in the Pink Franklin case.
Franklin murdered Constable Val
entine in Orangeburg county In tho
year 1907 while the constable was
trying to arrest him for violation of
an agricultural contract. His case
j went to the South Carolina Supreme
Court, and from that court came to
the United States Supreme Court.
Outside of the fact that Attorney
General Bonaparte appeared as one
of the attorneys for Franklin and at
tacked the laws of the South, there
was nothing unusual In tho case.
Justice Day, In rendering the opin
ion of the Court, said that the court
could only inquire into Federal ques
tions, and that Franklin's plea rais
ing Federal questions came too late
and could not avail him. Except in
a general way he made no reference
to the elective franchise of the
Southern States or to the allegations
contained In the bonaparte brief that
Franklin, and other persons who
signed agricultural contracts, were
worked under a legalized form of
slavery. By the decision Franklin
loses his last appeal and apparently
will have to die on the gallows.

The First Cot (mi Report.
Washington, June 2.-The first
cotton report for the year was Issued
to-day by the board of statistics of
the Department of Agriculture.
It shows that the area planted this
year ls about 102.8 per cent of the
area planted last year, equivalent to
33,196,000 acres, as compared with
:*?2,290,000 acres Inst year.
The condition of the growing crop
of May 25th was 82 per cent of a
normal condition, as compared with
81.1 per cent nt the corresponding
date In 1909, and 80.9 as the average
condition for tho past ten years on
tho same date.
The Conservation of Nature's Re
sources
applies as well lo our physical state
as to material things. C. J. Hudlong,
Washington, R. I., realized bis condi
tion, and took warning before It was
too late. He says: "I suffered se
verely from kidney trouble, tho dis
ease being hereditary in our family.
I have taken four bottles of Foley's
Kidney Remedy, and now consider
myself thoroughly cured. This should
bo a warning to all not to neglect
taking Foley's Kidney Remedy until
lt ls too late."
FA HM PROSPECTS AHE BETTER.
Some Advice About Farm Work
Practica* vs. Theoretical.
Editor Keowee Courier: The out
look for farming 1B brighter. Small
i grain (s a great deal better than It
j promised ten days ago, and while
corn is very small for this timo of
I the year, lt has rooted firmly, and
j will vory likely make a small stalk.
It is a very Important matter to
j know how best to cultivate. Corn
should be plowod deep with a small
plow and let that plow go deep. If
convenient use a fender, but do not
throw very much dirt to the corn
unless tile corn ls suckering. If this
should be tho case, scientific mon
will tell you that your corn ls not
thick enough, or lt might be you
have too much ammonia under lt,
but from a practical standpoint it ts
the lack of depth of earth. To con
vince yourself, take up a stalk that
has suckers by the roots, and also
take up one that has no suckers.
Measure the part that was In the
ground and you will get the lesson
in a nutshell. I am going by what I
have been watching for five years.
Now another very Important thing
about corn growing Is to thin your
corn to suit the grade of land and
the preparation made. You cannot
expect to make 4 0 of 50 bushels of
corn on land that made 1 2 or 1 6 last
year, or at any rate you will not be
very likely to do so. . That Is more
than double, you see. First, the
land must be 3tlrred 6 or 8 Inches or
above that to get above 15 bushels,
and some food must be put where lt
can get lt In developing and matur
ing.
In regard to cotton: It is a crop
that ls easy to develop and ls easy
to cut short. Some deep plowing
with a gopher ls needed as soon as lt
gets four to six leaves on lt, and a
side application by the 20th of June
or before. Use surface cultivation
after one time plowing deep. Use a
small gopher and sharp sweep-say
10 or 12 Inches. Straighten the
gopher nearly straight so as not to
leave a deep open furrow.
In applying fertilizers do not use
a distributer, but spread the fertili
zer by hand If you haven't a spread
er. If a distributer is used run a
plow following and mix well Immedi
ately after. And one other thing:
Do not put peas In your cotton at
tills season. If at all, wait till July
1st. Pindars are best to use.

TAO TAX BRINGS $'?50,000.
Indications that Sta to will (?ct S43,
000 More Than Last Year.
The fertilizer movement as shown
by the tag tax receipts will aggregate
$250,000 In receipts at the State
Treasurer's olllce in Columbia, or
about $43,000 more than last year's
receipts, on the basis of 25 cents per
ton.
Tile tag tax received to date is
$212,050.03, which ls $41,545.01
more than to the corresponding date
last year. The figures for last year
to March 29 were $170,504.12.
The total for the last fiscal year
(1909) In tag tax receipts was $202,
741.31.
From May 2S last year to the end
of the fiscal year the receipts were
$32.237.18.
It ls considered very probable that
this year's receipts from now until
the end of the fiscal year will equal
if not exceed last year's receipts for
the corresponding period. By adding
last year's after-May receipts lt will
be seen that this year's receipts will
probably reach the $250,000 mark.
As the tag tax is 25 cents per ton
the amount turned in to the treasu
rer's olllce represents nearly 850,
0 00 tons.
"In my opinion," said Judge J.
Fuller Lyon, who handles the ferti
lizer tax in the office of the State
Treasurer, "the reason for the In
crease In the fertilizer sales as shown
by the tag tax ls that the farmer In
South Carolina ls now using more
fertilizer for the small crops; that
ls the grain crops, corn and so forth.
1 have noted a general disposition to
Increase the fertilizer used on thc
carly fall crops."

Arrested a Corpse.
Augusta, Ga., June 2.-A local
magistrate this morning arrested a
corpse and kept it in his. office for
several hours. While living with
Martha Clarke, who claims to be his

acute Indigestion. Anna Green, who
also claims to be his wife, this morn

and the body was removed from an
undertaker's to the magistrate's

Both women were present at the
hearing, and agreed this afternoon
to permit a fraternal society to bury
tho body. A small insurance policy
