The statistics of the growth of rural free delivery service show that on December 2 next there will be 6,000 carriers throughout the country, travoling a total mileage approximately of 147,220 miles daily, or twenty-four and pne-half miles each on an average. There have been 12,000 applicants for routes, or twice the number of tha routes. ? * The St. Louis exposition author lties will ask the South Carolina Legislature for an appropriation for a State exhibit at the exposition to to ' ? held in that city in 1903. There is no doabt but that an exhibit at the exposition would advertise South Carolina's resources, but, judging by former experiences, it is very probable thnt the authorites will fail to secure the appropriation. I $ $ One of the important features of the apnual report of the secretary of war deals with the question of a reorganization of the national guard of the country. Secretary Root will make recommendations looking to bringing the State troops and regulars together in joint manoeuvres on the great camp grounds of instruction to be provided and he will also make recommendations for giving mili4lO oora A? >><> iiuitftiiD c?njr ini'iiiiy 10 secure ] thejpractical training and instruction of ragular army officers. This, however, does not touch the special subject of a reorganization of the militia by which they will be of greater value to the national government in time of war and by which their relation to the national fjovernmeut will bo more clearly defined. That question has remained undetermined for a hundred years or more, and every attempt to secure legislation defining the j relations between the State militia and the national government nas met with failure when brodght before Congress. Secretary* Root will not, thorefore, make the knistake. of favoring any particular plap of reorganization which brings about friction bc|wi't n the war department officials and the officers of State organize* tionj. F I [ n j t Mormcnism in South Carolina. T The I^ormouB are beginning to work South Carolina again, says the Columbia Record. The upper part of the State has now seyeral missions, and plans are being laid for an active campaign all over the State. President B. E. Rich, of the Southern Mormon Association, has returned from a visit to the West, where he went to confer with the high church dignitaries and lny plans for the raising of money for the work. The headquarters of the president are in Chattanooga, Tenn., and thero will be several vice-prosidents, each with a statement of his territory. In an interview with a reporter of the Chattanooga News the president said that the Mormon trouble in Georgia some time ago had, instead of hurting the cause, heloed it wonderfully, and the new plane mapped out by the Mormon authorities would systematize the work and results would be better. It seems that already there is trouble in store for them, however, in this State, as the following card, signed by many prominent residents, appeared in the Saluda Sentinel of last week: "We, the undersigned citizens of Saluda county do hereby heartily endorse the action of citizens of our community, who, on November 8th, 1901, went in person to the two Mormon elders who wore sojourning in the Higgins ferry section of our county and gave them notice to leave the county forthwith and never again to return, and who were informed that if ever they or any other Mormon elders ever again came into that community they would be dealt with in a summary manner. We also endorse the action of the aforesaid citizens for giving notice to the few Mormon followers of our community that they would be held personally responsible for the return of any Mormon elders to that section, or for harboring or entertaiuing Morman elders in the future." THe Negro's Position in the North. Tho Commoner. It whs to have been expectod that Northern papers would wax i wroth and grow bitterly sarcastic in replying to Southern strictures upon the Pregidept for entertain- ' ing Booker T. Washington at dinner. But the Southern papers are * replying by asking some pertinent J questions and citing some perti nent facts. They point out tho < faot that Northern love for the , negro is confined to election day. t How many business offices in the North employ negro clerks? How < many negro traiuraeu are employed on Northern railways? ] How many negroes have been np- i pointed to postmasterships in the f north? How many Northern States have elected negro Senators or Congressmen? How many negro mechanics are employed in North- 1 ern mills and factories along side 1 white mechanics? North he is 1 limited to tho position of porter 1 in hotels and on trains, or to wait- 1 erships in hotels and restaurants. I Is there a negro linotype operator i on and great daily newspaper in i tho North that is so roundly de- 1 nouncing the South for its attitude * toward the lloosevolt-Washington j > dinner incident? Does any one of t these Northern Republican daily 1 newspapers employ a negro press- ' man, a negro reporter or a negro I editor. Some of these days the 1 negro will realizo that he has < nothing to gain'from the alleged < friendship of men who seek to use hiin for political purposes only.

High as is the cost of living in Chicago, it is, in its hardships on the poor, as nothing compared with the cost of dying. The burial expense for one child would in many cases pay the rent on the house for the family for a year. The very meanest funeral exceeds in cost the fuel bill for a year, even at the uunaturul prices paid here for coal. Chicago, like New York, has its "spot houses," where a man can get a "spot" on the floor in an attic to sleep on for 5 cents But the cheapest spot to sleep in the cemeteries, outside the potter's field, costs $10, and this does not include the digging pi the grave, and curries with it no rights of privacy, indeed, it lias been charged in some of the older cities where the "spot system" prevails in the cemeteries that the same spot is sold again when the time has changed the coffin and the corpse into clay. A "family lot" in the cemetery ?and it would ho for a small family at that?costs more than the gross annual wages of a common laborer. When all his energies no more th?n supply the direst needs of hiH living tented how can he be expected to buy an exclusive home for his dead? Ho must depend on the "spot system" until somebody other than himself provides a better one. Chicago line many needs, and this is one of them. Once the cjty had a municipal cemetery.
