MISS KIRK W INS CASIO.
Board of Health Can't Keep ller In
Pest House.
The famous Kirk, leprosy case
from Aiken was decided in the su
preme court Thursday in favor of
Miss Kirk. The majority opinion is
by Justice Woods, Justice Hydrick
rendering a dissenting opinion
against .Miss Kirk.
The decision means that the Aiken
hoard of health can not, as it tried
to do, confine Miss Kirk to the county
pest house. The circuit courts's
action in the case is a dinned. It
came before the circuit court by injunction
from the action of the
hoard of health to confine Miss Kirk
in the pesthouse.
Owing to the peculiar nature of
the case, and to the fact that Miss
Kirk, a missionary, who had con'
tracted the disease in Brazil, was
not only a woman of refinement and
education, but aged, blind and helpless,
the case has attracted much attention
throughout this and other
States, and the decision is of interest
1 particularly to local hoards of health.
It is decided that tlie action of a
hoard of health may he reviewed by
the court, tilt hough action tor damages
will not lie against the mein
hers of the board for wrong detention
or isolation, unless litis is done
in had faith.

AMAZING GROWTH
IN THIRTEEN VKAHS OF ItUItAL
MAIL DELIVERY.
Over Forty Thousand Routes Now
hi OiK'rutlon, Serving Over Twenty
Millions of People.
On October 1, 1909, the thirteenth
anniverasry of the installation of ruivi
1 itn)lvr?rv ill t hi> I'nilcrl Sit.'iti'H will
1)0 reached. In commemoration of
the event some suitable recognition
is suggested, as no oranch of the
postal service has had i-x) recent a
beginning with equally remarkable
results.
The honor of the tlrst attempt *o
test the praeticability of such a radical
broadening of the operations of
individual delivery rests with live
routes from three postotllces in West
Virginia.
The innovation was so great that
it took some time for the people
to be benefitted to realize the advantage
in store for them. By the
end of the third fiscal year after this
service begun, but 391 rutes were
established, at an annual expend'
ture of $l.r)0.0 12. The convenience,
as well as ethical economical, commercial
and educational benefits in
eident to this particular public utility
were now so forcefully demonstrated
that expansion went on rapidly,
the cost aggregating up to the
prsent time no loss than $170,000,00
0.
The to,sot carriers in covering
their '10,0 1!) routes traverse more
than one million miles every secular
day of the year, excepting New
Year's, Washington's Hirthday,
Memorial or Decoration, independence
and Labor and Thanksgiving
Days, or the Monday following
should these days fall on the Sabbath.
in making their daily round,
more than 20,000,000 rural residents
are served.
In looking back over what has
been accomplished during the brief
period of its existance, it is apparent
that t lie rural delivery service is
a great public convenience. Results
are tlie best commendation and these
are sustained by unanimous expressions
of approval of patrons.
From an ethical point of view,
tIn* utility of the service is evident in I
many ways, it brings the rural population
into neighborly relationship
and promotes intercourse with nearby
communities, and through them
with cities great and small, and with
the world at large.
As a commerical proposition facilities
are afforded to keep tab on the
markets as to prices of products and
commodities for sale or purchase.
In this respect farmers especially
f * A I homeolimo crrnn t 1 U liODoflt totl h\f
Illllt UlLIIIOCIICD b> Vl%v?j UV.1V..WWV. ; j
constant knowledge of the conditions
of trade.
In an economical sense the public
has derived advantage from the improvement
and maintenance of roads,
over which rural delivery routes are
laid, this being a condition precedent
to the establishment of mail
facilities. In addition, good roads
insure greater frequency and regularity
of mail delivery.
With respect to roads since the
inauguration of this service it is
estimated that more than $75 000,000
lias been expended in rebuilding,
repairs and maintenance.
As a means of education, the widening
of the utilization of the mails
by rural free delivery has largely
extended the circulation of local and
metropolitan newspapers, magazines
and general literature, besides having
proved a stimulous to more extended
personal correspondence.
It is further mentioned as one of
the incident of the service that since
the introduction of the rural mail
carrier, that bumble representative
of the administration has become
popular among residents in the rural
districts, developing their ap|
precation of the beneficence of the
I * ~ * tl'n,.!,!., rrtnn
gO V f I'll II 1 l' II t ill >\ <1 II I I I fS I V7 II .
The popularity of rural delivery
among farmers and others living
from communities having eity mail
facilities is shown in a summary of
this service that Postmaster General
Hiteltyock ordered prepared in
the otlice of the fourth assistant postmaster
general, up to August, 1900,
This exhibit gives 10,9 10 routes
in operation served by 4 0,80 1 carriers.
Of the total number of routes
t?2 2 are tri-weekly. In bringing tin
service up to its present high state
of organization and efllclency, 00,1 St
petitions were received and inves
tigated. Of this number 17,102 were
reported upon adversely. At the close
of this report, 1.4^2 petitions wort
pending, of which 202 have boei
assigned for establishment betweei
August 10 and (October 1, 1909, leav
j ing 1,220 unacted upon.
The seeming discrepancy betweei
the number or rural routes' and ear
tiers is accounted for by instance
where there exists tri-wookly servici
on more than one rural route out o
r an oflloo, one carrier serving tw<
routes alternating each day.
, The State having the largest ntlm
her of rural delivery routes at. thi
r date is Illinois, 2,284. There ar
seven States with more than Nov
York (1,84 1 first in population, am
four with more than Pennsylvani
(2,108) second in number of inhah

Magazine. We sometimes harbor
the idea that the llritish is the
most ready and willing or all men
to part with his money to a surething
gamester, but when it comes
to competition against all comers
the average American hits tlie bullseye.
The sure-thing men of today (incorporated)
know this and build upon
it. One of the biggest of them
claimed not long ago that if he were
given time he could sell worthless
stock to three Americans out of
every live, provided the gullible three
had the money or could raise it.
He actually counts upon one victim
for every f>0 circulars sent out
through the mails. The common
average, as the postal officials will
tell you, is one dupe for every hundred
circulars. Not bad, consider.

The employment game consists of
an opportunity to sell on high salary
the goods or the stock of a company
in which you must first buy
shares. Then when you have paid
over your money you are assigned
a territory, generally a long distance
from the company's office.

Hut it was soon found by the
swindlers that these devices, like the
green goods game, was rather crude
and almost equally unsafe. So to
the education of the man who ran

i scheme was added a post graduate

It came to be recognized by the
swindling gentry that there was

N. II. Hamlet, a young man, an
operative in the I.angley mill, was
placed in the Aiken jail Wednesday
morning. Hamley shot and instantly
killed John Rhoden, another young
man, with whose brother Hamlet
had a disturbance Tuesday night.
The shooting occurred about 6
o'clock Wednesday morning in tho
public park at Langley. Hamlet was
immeditaly taken in charge and carried
to Aiken. Deputy Budbeo
met MH. John Clock ley, In whoso
charge Hamlet was, at Craniteville,
en route to Aiken.
John James and Oscar Ilhoden,
throe brothers, moved to kangley
some years ago and kept batchelors*
quarters there. They are well
known young man, having splendid
reputations for quiet and poacefulness.
Mr. Ilamlet says that he regrets
very much that ho committed tho
homicide, but said that he was compelled
to do so in slef-defense. He
said that Wednesday morning as
he was going to the mill to work,,
he forgot his keys and started back
to get them. In the park he encountered
John Rhoden and a difficulty
took place then in regard to
the disturbance the previous night
between himself and James Rhoden,
brother of the deceased. Tie maintains
that he did not shoot until
after Rhoden fired twice at him with
a revolver. He then shot, he says,,
in self-defense. He said lie had never
had any disturbance with Rhoden
previous to this.
Several parties from kangley were
seen and interviewed and the general
version of the killing appears tobe
about as follows:
Tuesday night James Rhoden and
