SOMETHING ABOUT THE RURAL DELIVERY SERVICE IN LAURENS The New System of Handling the Mails Was Inaugura ted Ten Years Ago in the County. With Waterloo Route No. 1. With tlio establishment ten years ago of ihe first rural delivery route from Waterloo, the service was stead ily extended until throe years age when what is termed n complete coun ty rural delivery system was Inaugu rated in I.aureus. This COUUty was one Of the fll'St III tln> State to secure the complete service this having been accomplished through the efforts ol Congressman J. T. Johnson. After I.aureus, all the rest of the counties in the Fourth district were likewise reorganized. Since the reorganization of the system no new routes have been established in Lumens, though some changes In the different routes of the county have been made front time to time, one of those was the removal from Princeton of No. - to Ware Shoals. This change, however, did not cut Laurons out of the service as given by this particular carrier. As it now stands, there are twenty four routes wholly within the county, while seven others extend the service Into I.aureus from different post of- ' lliees located outside the borders ol the county. For Instance, three of the routes from Fountain inn cover por tions of Youngs and Dials townships, two from Ware Shoals extend Into Sullivan ami Waterloo townships, and one trout 1 Innen Path comes to Prince ton. In this way the county Is practical ly covered every day in the year savei the si\ legal holidays allowed the car-j tiers by lite department. Tins;? holi days are: New Year s Day. Washing-| ions nirlhduy, Memorial Day. Inde pendence Day. Labor Day and Thanks giving Day. In addition, all carriers who have been in the service a year on the 1st of July are allowed an an nual leave of absence for fifteen days. J with full pay. ihus giving each carrier the benefit of twenty-one days off duty every year. The maximum salary is $7."i thei month, and the average for this county | is probably $70, which brings into the county monthly between $1,700 and $1,800. It is estimated that the routes in the county, as a whole, are self sustnlning to the extent of about 25 per cent. Mr. II. o. Fuller of Waterloo, the first carrier appointed 111 Palliens county, is still in the service, having completed his ten years only a few weeks ago. The next carrier named for the county was Mr. P. R. Moore at OwlllgS. He too, is one of flip vet eran carriers still in the service. Messrs J, E, Johnson, appointed from l.nil ford and Arch C. Owings from Cray Court, both of whom seem to like the job, went to work in 1902. A few months later the lirst route from I.aureus was established and Mr. Jos eph Jackson Dendy was appointed as cattle-. On Juno the lirst, this year, he resigned and Mr. Louis Anderson was named as his successor. Mr. Dendy iiso'i an automobile for a time this year, although he was not the fust to adopt this mode of delivering the mails In Palliens. Mr. S. ('.. Mc Danlol, an ex-carrier, having used a nlachlne quite successful!) on his route several years ago. Other carriers in the county use. at times, bicycle and motor-cycle with more or less success. Put take it one season With another, there is nothing that will heat the faithful horse, top buggy or regulation wagon, From an economic standpoint, the horse is not likely to he supplanted very soon win n it conies to carrying the mail in I.uu rens county. However, there has been such improvement in road conditions Within the last year or so that it is now practicable to run an automobile over ail) of the routes throughout the coun ty six to nine mouths In the year, n the government would furnish these machines (here would be two and a half dozen of them '?bonking" at over 3.000 country homes in this county be fore the ertd of another week or just as soon as they could be obtained and put Into service. it is unnecessary to dwell on the benefits and popularity of the rural de livery service. Ii Is an established department of the great postal sys tem of the t'nlterl Slates, in which an, ar"iy of 10.000 men are employed at an annual coal to the government ol about $33.000.000. Of course the main. tanance or the system n a tremendous burden, but as "Jones pays the freight* the service will continue to expand and enlarge until every county In ev ery State in the Union will in time , come to have as complete a service as Laurens. it |s one of the modern pub ' lie utilities that has not only Improved rural conditions socially and educa tionally, but from the standpoint of a general betterment of things pertain ing to farm life, such as good roads, ".he increased value of farm lands, h has been and is a factor of tremendous force and Influence. In the personnel of the rural letter carrier force, past and present, operat ing In this county, the various voca tions and pursuits of the "working man" are herein represented. These Include farmers, mechanics, contrac tors, clerks, teachers, bookkeepers and "ven newspaper correspondents. While tin- position of carrier is looked upon by many as a sinecure, it is neverthe less one of responsibility and exacting requirements. Certain spec I tied men tal and physical qualifications are rc quired of each applicant before ndmtt ed to the eligible list, in other words me are selected for the service under the rules of the civil service ot the rural division of the pOStofllce de partment at Washington. Lach carri er is required to have a Substitute, who like the carrier is a bonded officer ol the postal service. When he rides he gets the same remuneration as the reg. ular carrier. Provided he is on the eligible list, the substitute ? airier is' always cert I lied for appointment to any existing vacancy from the 0 111 CO he serves, providing further, that he has been in the serv'eo at least six months prior to such certification. Civil ser vice examinations for the rural car rier service are not held at stated limes-this being necessary only al ter the li.,t of eligibles has expired. The carrier force is under the super vision of the postmaster of the otllce from which the service is conducted. To l im all reports are made, supplies purchased ami complaints rendered.'; It is also up.?n his recommendation that schedules are arranged, leaves, of a'M iit obtained: in truth the post-j master virtually directs and controls' the operation of the service from his otllce. It might proper to state iu re that through the efforts of Post master George s. McCravy, more than one id' the six routes from the Laurens ifllcc were secured along in 1002 to 1001, lie has always taken great pride in the service, for he is thorough! ' familiar with rural conditions and has been at all times anxious to see farm ers given every advantage possible.
