Letting of Mail Routes.
Tun Postollice Department is ad
vertising for bills for carrying the
mail on the star routes in this State
for four vears beginnini; on the lirst
day of next July. All bids must be
li leu; by the lirst iiav ot next Decem
ber.
Heretofore manv, it not the most.
of the star route contracts in this
State have been let to iimi-rcsidcnts,
who sublet them at a reduced price
to persons living near the routes. In
this way these non-resident contract'
ors made fortunes. F.vcrv one of
them would get a large number of
contracts ami then sublet them a
starvation prices to persons in t!i
neighborhood, who would rid
through the winter's cold and the
summer s heat and receive barely
enough to feed man and beast.
This is to be remedied and here
after non-resident, contractors will
have to make their money some o
way. Hereafter no bul tor carrving
the mail will be considered mil
the bidder shall agree to give his
personal supervision to the perform
ance of the contract and "will reside
on or contiguous to the route." That
is, the bidder must be a resident of
the territory regulurlv served bv
postollice oa the route. This will
put au end to the letting of mail
contracts to non-residents of this
State, and give a better chance to
our home folks.
The persons living near a country
mail route will be pleased to learn
that they will no longer (after 1st of
next July) have to pay the mail car
rier for leaving their mail in their
boxes along the road. After the 1st
of next July the currier on every
route "will be required to de
liver mail into all boxes and hang
small bags or satchels containing
mail on cranes or posts that may be
erected along the route. J hese
boxes must be so located on the
roadside that the carrier can deposit
the mail without leaving his vehicle
or horse. The carrier will also he
required to receive any mail mutter
presented to him on his route. This
will be a great convenience to many
persons in the country. t hat ham

and also on ti.e toil five use of to

on duty will be prohibited.
The tight on intoxicating liquors
will not be i-onhiied to the period
that a man is mi daty but will up
ply also to the time he is oil duty.
In connection with the above the
following telegram was sent out
from Chicago shows that other rail
road superintendents take the same
view of drinking by employ
does Superintendent Rauiseiir:
"The fiat lias gone forth general lv
that employes who drink, or who
frequent places where liquors are
sold, are not safe men to entrust
with the lives of patrons, nor with
the valuable property transported
by the railroads.
"Total abstinence is essential to
service in the operating department
of e(.ry railroad centering in Chi
cago, and, so far as known, of every
important railroad in the United
Suites.
"The rulus which have recently
been inaugurated against the use of
tobacco are not so m rmgeiit as those
against liquor, but generally they
prescribe, the use of tobacco while
on duty and when about stations
and on the pro-r,y of the railroad
companies. As for the cigarette,
the order is almost as severe as that
against whiskey.
"lhe revolution winch is being

the managements of the Chicago
roads have just issued. Without a
single exception these hooks contain
the following, or rules which are
similarly framed:
lhe use of intoxicants bv em
ployees while on duty is prohibited.
Their habitual use, or the frequent
ing of places where they are sold, is
sufficient cause for dismissal.
" The use of tobacco by employes
whf n on duty in or about passenger
stations or on passenger cars is pro
hibited.'
"While the rules are now prac
tically the same on all railroads.
some are more severe than others in
their enforcement Not all the rail
roads assume to say whether an
operating employe may drink when
off duty, while henceforth not a few,
the Mock Island for example, will
discharge men for freqoe.iti.ig sa
loons whether on or oil duty." j

The Modern Farmer.
Fifty years ago commercial fertil
i.ers, guano, gvpsuni, superphos
iihate of lime, ect., were unknown in
the South. Drills and reapers were
scarcely heard of, aud were regarded
simply as curiosities. There was im
such thing as rotation of crops, tin
sow ing of clover or the use of green
crops for renovating the soil. Crop
succeeded crop until the soil ceased
to produce, and then the bind was
abandoned and turned out to gr
up in briars and brooinsedge.
Land was then so cheap and so
abundant that it required less to
purchase new land than to reclaim
old. This has all been changed.
The best viigin soils have been occu
pied, and the old-time farmer finds
that his "clearings" must come to an
end. The coining fanner and the
one who will re ip the richest re
wards w ill be he who can" have the
largest manure piles, the best mea
dows und tlie titicst stock, linage
must give place, to somo extent, to
grass, and toil on the farm, m

Beggars Who Keep Accounts.
Upon complaint of au agent of a

recently arrested, charged with mak

ed man had kept a complete set ot

whom he had written, the date and
nature of the request and whether an
inswer bad liee:: recicvcd, two of
them showing that his expenses had
run from $150 to !i04 a month,
that he had spent all his lutmev on
his wife, who, nevertheless, was em
ployed in a store and obliged to
work on Sundays and until 11 and
12 o'clock at night to keep up - their
home. W here does the wonder come
Viewed by the public at large,
the arrsteu mau was simply a chari
ty organization society of one mem
ber, and his expenses were by
means proportionately in excess of
those of any other oigauization of
the kind, working on the principle
that better for eleven worthy persons
to starve than for one worthless iier-
son to be fed, and that 85 spent up
on agents, etc., in doing $1 worth of
charity is an exccHeut and scientific
investment. Moreover, the arrested
man was not the only beggar in the
world keeping account liooks. The
number of beggars doing that sort of
ining ia ever increasing, ji mere is
doubt about that it will be quickly
removed by inspection of the letter-

A New Problem Novel.
There bus been a (Treat deal of
acofliuc; recently about the problem
novel. And. indml, certain kinds
of problem novel deserve to bfl scoff'
ed iit; but life is not all beer and
skittles, nor is it entirely made up of
pretty cloths ana pretty girls, ao
when a liook comes alone which
deals sincerely with any great prob
lem, it is sine to get an audience.
Mr. Thomas Dixon's first book, "The
Leopard's Spols," dealt with a great
problem and found its audience,
llis latest book, "The One Woman,"
nl 80 deals with a great problem and
will also command an audience. It
is a book full of melodrama, with
diction which can ouly be described
bv the old term "hifulutin," but in
spite of that it holds tho reader. It
is badly written, but it lias some
thing to say, and it says this some
thing with the same crude vigor
which marked the author's previous
work. Jiveiybody s Magazine.
