FltlDAY. AUUl'HT .'10. 15)01. Rural l:rce Delivery in Johnston. Through the effoits of Con-j gressman Pou Johnston county j is to havt several free delivery mail mutes. ,Mi Itarr, of the I'ostolfice Department, will In here Saturday and inspect and establish the routes as soon as j possible. We understand that four or five new routes ar*e to be estub- [ lished at ondip, with a probability j of others being established soon, j One route will go out from Smitlifield along the Clayton road by Mr. II. R. Jones'. An other will start from Smitlifield anu go down the river road by Mr. ('. S. Powell's, and return by the Princeton road. Another is to start from Four < laks and go out in the direction j of ltentonville. A fourth route is to be estab lished, starting from Ragley and running out in the Km it section. Plans are 011 foot for the estab- j lishmeut of a route to connect i the Kiuit and -Wakefield routes. All these routes will do a great deal of good for the sections j through which they pass. All the people have to do to get these routes is to make application, giving full information etc.,to the J I'ostolfice Department. Wears glad to see the interest that is lie- J ingmanifested in these rural free deli very routes and we hope tin day is not far distant when every man in the county can have his mail delivered almost at his door daily. Advantages ol Rural Free Delivery. It iial five delivery of mails is seien itie. On purely theoretical groan Is tin |Histoltiee ought al \vuj? diver .the matte!- in t misled in ii at the door of the ad dressee. The distance to be trav eleu from sender to receiver of mails is precisely the same whe| her the whole trip be made by the postal employee or lie be| met part way by the person for | whom it is intended. Further- j more, the costof making the trip { is always paid out of the sum j total of the nation's capacity to do work. It makes but little | difiVieii v ultimately whether the labor is paid for from Govern ment funds collected by the sale of s .nips or otherwise, or is done by ach man directly without intervention of the I'nited States Treasury at all; it all comes from the [>eople anyhow. The only question that need be asked is whether there will be more waste J of time, a longer number of empty trips by the farmer, who j never knows when there is mail [ for him or bv the postman, who always knows whether there is something to deliver; and to this there seems to be but oneanswer. Postmaster General Charles E. Smith in his last report sum- , marines tile results attained as follo-vs; "Rural delivery liasj now been sufficiently tried to measure ;<s effects. The immedi-1 at- and direct results are clearly ipp :? it It stimulates social i and business correspondence, and : sii swells the postal receipts. Its introduction is invariably fol io.., i bv a large increase in the circulation of the press and of periodical literature. "The farm is thus brought into direct daily contact with the cur rents and movements of the busi ness world. A most accurate! kno"! Ige of ruling markets and , vn | .I i -s is diffused, and the ? j.. ; it, with his quicker com munic ition and -larger informa t i in, is placed on a surer footing. . The value of farms, as has been sin nvn in manvcases, is enhanced. Goo 1 roads become indispens able, and their improvement is t Ii" i -.-ntial condition of thp ser vice. , f i "Tin material and measurable Item-fit* are signal and unmis- x takuble. Hut the movement pxeieises a wider and deeper iu tiuenee. It becomes a factor in the social and economic tenden cies of American life. The dis position to leave the farm forthe town is a familiar effect of our past conditions. Hut this ten dency is checked, and may lie materially changed by an ad vance which conveys many of the advantages of the town to the farm. Hurul free delivery orings, the farm within the daily range of the intellectual and commer cial activities of the world, and j the isolation and monotony which have been the bane of agricultural life are sensibly miti gated. It proves to b.-oneot the most effective and powerful of educational agencies. "Wherever it is extended the schools improve and the civic spirit of the community feels a new pulsation; the standard of intelligence is raised, enlightened interest in public affairs is quick ened, and better citizenship fol lows. With all these resultselear ly indicated bv the experiment as thus far tried, rural free delivery is plainly heretostay. ltcannot oe abandoned w here it has been established, and it cannot be maintained withont being ex tended." The objections are: Fourth-[ class postmasters and star route contractors are thrown out of some work, and the custom of large numbers of farmers is di verted from its former channels, a little disturbance of business of indefinite proportions but of real consequence, yet soon remedied by a readjustment of relations, i The balance in favor of rural free delivery is so great, the reception by farmers so enthusiastic, and t iic demand for its extension so widespread aiyl urgent that the; l'ostoffice Departm'nt now makes an estimate for it as no longer an experiment, and Congress in its liberal appropriations appears to have accepted this view. The growth of the administrative work at Washington has been so great that additional room is now being provided for the force of employees. The conditions shown justify} the opinion more than once ex pressed by the l'ostoffice Depart ment, that the United States j must follow the lead of France, England, Germany, Austria, and other countries, whose closely settled lands sooner suggested it, and established a free delivery serviceeverywhere. It is already manifest that the service is in some respects superior to that of the older countries, and where it is fully developed and running smoothly Americans and foreign ers will alike be surprised if it is not clearly superior in all its de tails.
