Petitions to the number of about tiwenty have been put in circulation seeking sigiatures, for the purpose of ordering all election on the dispen sary in this county under the provis ions of the Carey-Cothran bill. There will be little doubt that a sufficient number of signatures will be secured to require the 'supervisor to order the election, as it takes only one-fourth of the qualified electors of the county to order it. Our position is, that when we had the election in 1905, we agreed to hold no other election for four years, and while of cotirse the legislature had the right to change that law as it has donle, we ar1e still of the opinion that we are morally bound to stand by the agreement. entered into at that time, yet, as has already been sated in The Herald and News, if we are to have an election next year, it is just -ae well to have it this year, when there will be no other issue and the forces ean be Joilled on a straight fighIt for the -dispensary or prolhibi tion. If a sullicient number of signatures is sclred to the petitions, the lee tion will be ordered for the latter part of August so that there may be time to have the questioir discussed itf'ter the farmers get through with their work, and,everybody will have ml opport ll unity to vote.

Rural Mail arriers To Receive Nine Hundred Dollars-Important Branch Government. In conilection with the increase in the pay of the rural inail. carriers as agreed upon by the conferees of the house and senate at Washington the Atlanta Journal has an editorial on the subject -which will bear repeti tion. , , The rural free delivery system has been the greatest blessing to the greatest number of people of any thing that has been. done by- the gov ernment since it was founded. It has made country life more desirable and pleasant. What we need now in this section of the country is to do some6thlln.g that will improve the con dition of our public highways. We need roads. Only by getting good can we enhance the value of rural property and induce our people to re main on the farm. With telephone and free delivery of mail if all had inproved public highways no one would want to give up life in the rural districts for the crowded cities C and towns. Thien would your high schools be practicable for the coun try, then could you have your church es and Sunday schools well attended,. then could the ladies go oftener to visit their neighbors and you would have social intercourse. [t is well the pay of the rural car rier is to he increased. It should be sulicient to secure the best class of men. iln fact the pay should be at least $1200 per year. Each one should have a .-uood turti out and two horses. The following is the editorial of tile Journal: ''-The conferees of the house and senate have, agreed to the amend mieit to the postal appropriation bill increasing the salary of rural mail I carriers to $900 a year. 'Al effort wis made inl the house to place it at $840, but it was oppos- I ed in that body by Congressman (friggs, and ill tie upper- house Senl ator Clay, who was a member of the conference committee, succeeded ill restoring the larger amount and as such it has practically been adopted. ''Senator Clay has been the per- I sistent and consistent friend of the rural mail carriers and has done a great deal to perfect and encourage the system. He states that within tihe next five years this rural free delivery system will have been com pleted, which is to say it will have been extended to every part of the country iwhere it can be established and sustained with advantage. He adds that the United States now has the )est postal service in the world. 'The growthi of the rural free de livery system within the past few years has been little short of mar velous. It has made country life a hlundred fold more conivenienlt and attractive and thlereby hlas increased tile value of prop)erty to an inesti mable degree. There can be no doubt whlen all is said and done, thlat the free, wholesome life of tIhe country gentleman, when it is sup)plemenlted with all the little conveniences.whlichi mean so muchl in thle aggregate, is the ideal life, and there is 1no reason why it shlould nlot be enjoyed to'thle highest degree here inl the south where we have so nmany natural ad vantages. ''The personnel of the rural mail carriers counts for a great deal in the b)uilding up of tihe system and it is in reality excellkn-t economy to make tile salary of tile position. such as to attract good amnd emeient men. ''They hlave many hlardships to unl-] dergo. 'Pie highway fo' themn is not always a turn-pike, much less a prime r'ose path, and they have to b)rave the elements whether the wind be north or, wvest. As a class they are aumng the most faithful and intelli gent in the government service, andl it is only rigzht and proper that they 'should receive tihe increase inl salary which has been accorded them" TO DRAW JURY.
