Foor Rtutei la tbe Count; How Tbe; Run Poatcfflcea Tbat Will Be Aban doned, Causing the Malls to Reaiain la Concord Post Office if Boxes are Not Put Up. Now that we are to have four rural free delivery routes in tbe county there is much that should be borne in mind. Route No. 1 goes southwest from Concord along the Char lotte road to the Pitts school house, thence northwest along the Poplar Pent road to the Hen derson place, thence west along the Springsville road to Cox's mil1, jheuce east along the Wpringsville road to Concord. This route embraces 17 square miles and will supply 130 homes and 590 people. Mr. J Mc. Cald well is the carmer. No. 2 goes northwest from Concord along the Salisbury road to A M Cook's store, thence northwest and north aloug the Stateaville road to Erskine post office, thence south along the Charlotte road to Tulin post office, thence southeast along'the new road tp the l C Purr place, thence southeast along the Salis bury road to Concord. Area is 18 square miles with 150 houses and 680 people to receive mail. Mr. Oliver T Utnberger is the carrier. No. 3 runs northeast along the new Salisbury road to Mt. Mitch ell church, thence southwest (re turning) to the Shive place, thence southwest along Cline's store road to the Fink place, thence northwest along tho Mt. Cilaed road to Rufus Cline's place, thence southwest, west and northwest along the Center Grove road to thj Murph place, thence southeast along the Salis bury road to Concord. The area is 17 square miles, number of houses 135 and population G10. Mr. Joseph A Walter is the carrier. No. 4 proceeds along the Mt. Pleasant road to St. John's church, thence along the Kirk's Ferry road to the crossing of the Mt. Pleasant and Salisbury road, thence northeast along the Salis bury road past Foil's mill to the cross roads at Furr's store, thence along the Gold Hill and Concord road to Concord. The area embraced is 16 square miles, number of houses 115 and popu lation 520. Mr. John H Ritchie is the carrier. On these routes there will be 15 general collection boxes simi lar to those placed ii. town. Springsville, Tulin and Er SKine post offices will be aban doned at the request of the post masters. Carriers will leave Concord about 10 o'clock, when the prin cipal morning mails will be in and will return in time for the outgoing mails by tho evening trains. Now the matter to which we wish to call especial interest is that subscribers to The Standard must direct us about sending their papers, that is, on what route they live. If they have boxes their papers will reach them promptly. If thoy have no boxes and there is no post office in their rc mmunity their papers will re-.iain in the post office at Concord. Wo hope, however, tha( all will avail themselves of the generous act of the govern ment to send their mail to them every day. The system will be a great convenience. The mail carrier will deliver registered packages and take packages to bo regis tered and receipt for same. He will supply those who want stamps and may be a general convenience by which to send and receive merchandise, etc., (the terms being such as may be agreed upon) so far as it may i not interfere with his duties to government. Let it be remembered that drop letters received on these routes bear the tame postage as when passing through two or more offices, that is a letter costs 2 cents postage. A 8 JACKS0K SEM ESCE COMMUTED. Later Evidence Raises Herlous Doubts and the (Jorornor the Oulj Power to Do Him Justice. Gov. Aycock has commuted the sentence of Andrew S Jack. son. The following from the Raleigh correspondent to the Charlotte Observer is an ex planation worthy of due con sideration: Andrew Sherman Jackson, of Lincoln county, convicted of burglary in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged but who was respited February 21th until March 20, was placed in the penitentiary at 5 o'clock this morning to serve a life sentence, the Governor cummuting the death sentence. The Governor late this afternoon p tvo out a lengthy statemeut of his reasons for commuting the sentence. He says the crime was most atroc cious and if the prisoner is g uilty he ought to sutler the extreme penalty, but since the trial of the case evidence not submitted to the jury has been laid before him, which renders the guilt of Jackson a matter of grave doubt. Several affidavits are filed that on Juno 3 when the crime was committed Jacksou was at Gaffuey, S. C. The Governor says: "It is entirely possible, not to say probable, that this evidence, if heard by a jury, would have changed their verdict. It is a misfortune that our law is in such shape that the Supreme Court while granting new trials in civil suits -for newly discovered evidence, will not do 60 m criminal cases. The Governor has no means by which he can determine the truthfulness of newly discovered evidence. A new trial of a prisoner by means of which the jury could have the benefit of all the facts as they now appear cannot be had." Five witnesses, two shown to be of good character, swear to a siate of facts which renders it impossible for the prisoner to be guilty. These witnesses can not be mistaken. They have either sworn falsely or the prisoner is not guilty. Tho witnesses for the State may be mistaken. No one in the house entered claims to have recognized the burglar. The evidence is circumstantial. Many people who heard the trial and numbers who have been informed of the facts have recommended commu tation. EDUCATION THE HOPE OF THE SOUTH. Broadness of View and Liberality of Thought Must be its Aim. On education the hope of the South must rest. Education is the only means of elevating and broadening the individual type. Groat fittention must be paid to this in order that the best re sults may he worked out with the unusually favorable mater ials and resources at hand, says Mr. II M Atkinson of A'lanta in the Manufacturers' Record. Tho constant elevating of the individual through the process of education is the only means by which the best can be iiceom plished. The aim of this educa tion must be to create broadness of view and liberality of thought. The South must broaden its base along these lines Men are needed who will see tho public good, and who will stand for it and their convictions, The broad view of such ques tions can only be brought about by education. The broadening of the individual and the teach ing of the principles of political sconomyand municipal governj mentare the'needs of the day. This means also broadening and strengthening jot character that is, tho production of men, the word being used in its best sense. Gun Goes Off A Krother Killed.

Here Tolls of His Dltcoyery Huge Animal Perfectly Preserved in the lee. Cable dispatches from this city have already told of Dr. Herz's discovery of a mammoth preserved in the ice in eastern Siberia. Dr. Herz now says he dis covered it on September 22 near the river Ebrosowka at the foot of a declivity just over 100 feet above the water. It was lying down with its feet curiously bent under its body. Dr. Herz concluded that it had fallen down from high ground and had been instantly killed, as its neck was broken. There was grass in its mouth and food in its mouth and food a its stomach. The fall must have happened more than 2,000 years ago. When Dr. Herz's party began the work of excavation the cold was so severe that a shed had to be erected. A fortnight was occupied in thawing out the monster. Meanwhile the stench was so bad that tbe stomach had to be cut out and refrozen elsowhere. Evantually the huge animal was found complete savo a small piece of the back and half of the trunk, which had been eaten by wolves. The mammoth was covered with a coat of rather thick red-brown hair. The return journey, 3,000 miles, to Irkutsk began on October 23. The distance wa covered on skates, the mammoth having been dissected for con venience in transportation. London March 10. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail says that he has seen the tongue of the mammoth, which is nineteen inches long, and the tail, which, with the hair on it, is more than fourteen inches long.
