the excess of the expenditures
involved and that under wise res
trictions it could be continued and
extended to great advantage. It
was also Mr. Clarke who discover
ed the fact that there was an ap
propriation of $10,000 available
for rural delivery which had been
overlooked.
So impressed was Postmaster
General Gary with the reports
that in submitting his report for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 18-
97, he referred to the experi-
menrs which had been made in
the following terms:
“It would be difficult to point
to any like expenditure of public
money which has been more gen
erously appreciated bp the people
or which has conferred greater
benefits in proportion to the a-
mount expended.”
These sentiments are echoed
today by the 20,000,000 of peo
ple who are now the appreciative
recipients of the rural delivery
service.
There are now in operation
throughout the United States
45,089 rural routes, served by 45,
000 rural carriers. The appropria
tion for the establishment and
maintenance of rural delivery for
the fiscal year ended June 30,
1911 was $45,260,000 and the ap
propriation for the fiscal year
which commenced July 1, 1912 is
$48,860,000. Since rural delivery
was first established the approxi
mate sum of $246,430,800 has
been spent in extending and main
taining the service.
North Carolina has now about
1500 rural routes in operation
with an average length of 23 mil
es and a total milage of 34,500
miles. The annual cost to the
government is more than a mil
lion and a quarter dollars. The
rural carriers of North Carolina
handled last year more' than a
hundred million pieces of mail, an
increase of nearly two hundred
percent, over three years ago, an
increase in the number of money
orders issued of nearly 300 per
cent during the saihe " Mhgth of
time. These figures are simply
stupendious and the average
mind can hardly grasp this amaz
ing record. I Want to call your
attention to another feature of
the postal service recently inau
gurated in nearly all the post of
fices of the country, and this is
what is known as The Postal Sav
ings system. This system allows
any one who may so desire to de
posit their savings with the post
office in their immediate locality,
they will allow you two per cent
interest upon all deposits that re
main for one ye£Ui' or longer, you
may withdraw at anytinie by for
feiting your accumlated interest;
you may also after having accum
ulated as much , as twenty dollars
make application and invest it in
Government bonds which pays
2| per cent interest, and nontax-
able, that is money so invested
you do not have to pay taxes to
dther state county or municipali
ty, this is a safe form of invest
ment, and Was established espec
ially for those, who are afraid of
the banks, and who do not desire
to hide their treasure where moth
and rust corrupts and where
thdves can break through and
steal. There is another feature
and that is the saving feature,
any one can buy a saving card for
ten cents and everytime you can
spare an additional ten cents you
buy a special stamp for this pur-^
pose and attach it to your saving
card, until) you have saved the
sum of on?! .dollar, tfh^., you can
have your isaving card redeenied
and a certificate for this amount
issued bearing interest as stated
above. T^e smallest amount re
ceived subject to interest is one
doikr, and the largest dftgle ac-
GOQut is five hundred dollars, but
not more than one hundred dol-
jjyrs can be deposit«d in one or
the same day. Any married wo
man or other person can have an
account, and the same is free
from coBtrol by their husband,
lather or guardian. So boys just
as is^n as this feature becomes
generally known you liad better
keep a viligant eye upon your
pants pocket especially at night,
this of course only applies to those
of you who have come to the con
elusion that it is not good for man
to be alone, and have taken unto
yourself a helpmate. This sav
ing feature should be patronized
and encouraged by those in the
service, in order to convince
those not familiar with its work
ing, that it is primaieily for their
benefit. This feature is destined
to prevent the hoarding of mon
ey by that class of citizens who
are ^raid of the banks and to
take thousands of dollars from
their hiding place and place it in
circulation. And now rural car
rier and patrons I trust these
statistics mthough long ^uid t^-
, ]^ve ipot worried you, but
^pon the other hand have only
tended to sharpen your appetites
that you may be more able to de-
vearvtiie delicious ?;ep^t which
now awaits us. Wishing the Ru
ral Carriers God speed in the
work of a strong and systematic
organization, and thanking one
and all for their kind atten tion I
again thank you.

The Witness Would Talk
Wythe ville, Va., May 30-V/it-
nesses introduced by the common
wealth today in the case of Claude
Allen for the murder of Judge
Massie, attacked the veracity of
Daniel Thomas, one of the chief
witnesses for the defense. They
swore that Thomas’ reputation
for truth and veracity was bad
and that they would not believe
him on oath. Thomas had testi
fied that the first shot did not
come from the corner of the room
where Claude Allen was standing
The defense was taken complet
ely by surprise and when the
state rested at 11 o’clock request
ed an adjournment of court until
tomorrow, when they will intro
duce witnesses in rebuttal.
One of the witnesses today was
asked a question on cross-exami-
nation which he thonght reflect
ed on his own veracity, and he
launched into a wordy defeiisl of
himself. He was besought by at
torneys on both sides to cease,
but he kept on with his explana*
tion to the jury. Judge Staples
took a hand, but to no effort.
Finally the sheriff had to take the
witness in charge.
Instructions to the jury were
argued today.
