Washington, D. C., July 9.—
The 40,000 odd rural free delivery
cjarriers in the United States are
to receive salary increases as a
result of an order issued today
by Postmaster General Hitch
cock. The order provides for
the disbursement during the cur
rent fiscal year of . $4,000,000
which will mean an increase of
$100 over the present salary of
$900 for all carriers on standard
routes, with proportionate in
creases In shorter routes.
Congress provided last session
for the expenditure of this exiiu
$4,000,000 but left it to the dis
cretion of the Postmaster Gen
eral as to how much of it should
be expended.. Mr. Hitchcock de
nied today to authorize the ex
penditure of the full amount. .
His desire to compensate the
carriere for any additional bur
den which may be placed on them
if the parcel posts system he
recommended for rural routes is
approved by Congress, was the
important consideration, Mr.
Hitchcock declared today, which
led him to make the authoriza
tion.
The rural delivery system was
started fifteen years ago with 83
carriers, who were paid only $200
a year. On July 1 there were
41,562 carrier, their aggregate
salaries being $35,793,0(K).

Elkin, July 7;—A severe eket-

Mr. MiGrady's home is at Lau *

He has ^?ife and two children.
Mr. Simjaons lives at Roaring

Mr. C. A. Lewis, who was in
charge of a squad of twenty-five
convicts, ,hurried to Elkin, riding
a mule, the telephone service be
ing out of order as a result of the
stonn, to get a physician. The
convicts told him to do this and
they promised him that not any
of them would leave. When he
r^stumed with Dr. Ring, he found
tliat every convict had kept his
word. This is remarkable, es-
p5cially in view of the fact that
scsveral of these men ^ere in
prison for long terms.
It must be stated that the action
of Mr. Lewis was necessary as
the two men struck were the on
ly guards with the squad.
