RURAL FREE DELIVERY. *
The Postmaster Ceneral's report,
which has just been issued, lays
much stress on the free delivery of
mails in the country, and he goeron
to say that the system has passed
the experimental stage and lias
justified the claims of its promoters.
He adds: "IIow' far-; the ..system
shall be extended is submitted for
the determination of Congress, with
a full presentation of the facts upon
which to base!a conclusion."
The service has been introduced inK
to
forty States and one territory, the
benefits of the system have been extended
to about 180,000 people, ami
the annual average cost is only S-l
cents per capita. From this it would
appear chat the system has had a fair
trial under all conditions and circumstances
and that its cost is reasonable.
The report also shows that
free delivery has also increased postal
receipts, and many deliveries are
self-supporting.
This matter will of course come
up for concideration by Congress,
and will,'we are sure, have the sup
port of South Carolinian's Senators
and Congressmen, as it should.
Wherever the rural free delivery has
been put into operation in this State,
it has been uniformly successful, and
our people appear to be highly pleased.
\ The Bamberg Herald is not opposed
to tlie free delivery, as has
been supposed by some. Our complaint
has not been at the system,
but at the abolishing of the star
' route to Ehrhardt. This was done,
so we are informed, in order to establish
the free delivery. We think it
was a mistake to discontinue this
route, as mail from Bamberg has to
: go by Charleston and Walterboro to
reach Ehrhardt and Kearse. Mail
from this point to Folk's Store goes
around by Hampton. The people of
that section are naturally displeased
with their present mail faculties, and
we have had many complaints from
our subscribers there about The
Bamberg Herald reaching them so
late. The paper is mailed ThursjBgpf
day afternoon, yet it does not reacli
Ehrhardt until Saturday night, too
. . .
late for our subscribers living in
the surrounding country to get it
before Monday. We believe in the
system for the good it has done, but
we do not believe in "robbing Peter
to pay Paul,"
We hope the patrons of the post
offices in the lower part of the
county will get up a petition asking
for the dailv mail, stating the delay
their postal matter is now subjected
to. and we believe thev will get it
Then put a free delivery on this
route and we will all he happv.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.
Several changes have taken place
recently in the editorship of newspapers
in the State, among them being
the following:
Mr. J. "A. McDermott retires from
the Horry Herald, after a brief editorial
experience, and Mr. H. H.
WQIVI ooanmoc

Mr. E. J. Browne, of the Manning
Farmer, has decided that there is
gv
more work in editing a weekly news- ,
paper than he imagined, and gives
up the work to devote his time and
.
- attention exclusively to surveying. '
His successor in the editorial chair
is not named.
Mr. S. B. Jones has sold the Pied- <
mont Headlight to J. L. Sloppelbein,
who will edit in in future. The Head 1

A SI RE CURE FOR CROUP.
Twenty-live Years' Constant Use Without
a Failure.
The first indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child subject, to
that disease it may bo taken as a sure
?>ign of the approach of an attack. *
i Fol'owing tliis hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's
I Cough Remedy is given as soon as
j the child becomes hoarse, or even J
auei me ciuupv uougu appears, n
will prevent the attack. It is used
in many thousands of homes in this
broad land and never disappoints
the anxious mothers. We have yet
to learn of a single instance in which
it has not proved effectual. No
other preparation can show such a
record?t wenty-live years' constant
use without a failure. For sale by .
all druggist and medicine dealers.
