Correspondence of The Bobesonlan. We give a clipping from the weekly News Scimiter of Mem phis, Tenn., Reference to ru ral free deliver of mail and good roads. This applies to the pub lic roads and show s the indiffer ence of the officials in the matter as well as the determination of the Postoffice Department to en force its condition of good roads or no rural free delivery service vjjialso shows how that by the indifference of a few many may be compelled to suffer; not only the patrons of the rural routes will suffer but the carriers will lose their stock and vehicles. This is hard on the carriers. There is just one other thought. There are portions of many to ral routes that are not on pub lice roads and if those parts of the reutes are not kept in order to by the patrons who are served by them and all the other patrons of such routes and the carriers of same will suffer through such neglect. Another class that may suffer to some extent by the dis continuance of the rural service are the publishers of our many newspapers. The clipping above referred to follows: "Unless the County Court takes immediate steps toward ! improving, repairing and main taining in splendid condition all the roads and bridges in Shelby county.the postoffice department threatens to abolish the entire system of about thirty rural free delivery routes and return to the inconvenient star route service. This ultimatum was delivered to James H- Barret, chairman of the County Court, late Thursday, by Sol Seches, assistant post master, who exhibited to the .chairman an official letter from P. B. DeGraw, fourth assistant postmaster general, who demands a definite reply not later than December 5. The County Court has been warned uoon several previous oc casion that in order top-etain the excellent free rural delivery sys tem which covers Shelby county in a network of routes that the roads and bridges must be kept in good repair and maintained in a perfect condition of safety throughout all seasons of the year. "If the condition of the roads and bridges are not such as to permit the rural caaries to trav erse with facility and safety, the department will, in the absence of any definite promise of the county authorities.seriously con sider the withdrawal or rear rangement of the service," the letter from - Washington states. This action of the department is said to be the direct result of the failure of the members of the County Court to take steps to ward improving the roads, follow ed by a batch of complaints for warded to Washington by a score of rural carriers. During the recent rainy sea son the rural free delivery car riors wereseriously.handicapped, and in many instances service was suspended for a period of ten days.The Memphis postoffice e xerted every effort to prevent inconvenience to the patrons by a rearangement of the service. The department in Washington was advised that the county authorities had not promised any relief, and this has caused Mr. DeGraw to resort to drastic ac tion. Postmaster Lee W. Dutro was instructed to take up the matter with the members of the County Court for the last time. Mr. DeGraw names December 5 a the final date for a reply. If at that time the County Court has nothing derinite to promise, it is likely that by January 1 thirty rural route carriers will be with out jobs and several thousands of patrons will be coupelled to hie away to the country postof fices to get their daily, and in some instances tri-weekly.mail." Some of the bridges on the roads in Lumber Bridge town ship are getting in dangerous condition. We would be glad if the officials 'whose duty it is to keep them in condition would perform that duty very soon. There are holes in some of them that have been there for some time to the annoyance of the travelling puplic. Mrs. Cobb continues to im prove but not as r?.pidly as we would like to see. Mr. S. E-Hughes is receiving the congratulations it is a girl. Miss Paulire Stamp and Miss Cobb are visiting Miss Ella Belie Smith this week. We are so much interested in the improvement of our high ways that we will refer to our present road law again- So far where has not been as much im provement to the road as we would like to see. There is one thing in which the old system surpassed the new. In the case of a storm or a bad bridge or washed bill or almost any slight obstruction or damage to the road was more prouptly repaired. We are oi the opinion if there was a fine imposed on the super visor or superintendent for such obstructions that perhaps there might be lesscause forcom plaint. We are in favor of letting as much of work on roads to con tract to the lowest bidder with proper safe guard as can be done- If we are mistaken there is a provision in the present road law for loUiug to contract, and a also in working roads in case of storms. Let these parts of the law.be more used and we believe there will be less room for com plaint. ' Shannsn, N. C, Nov. 20th. The of lmml- Sendlng Away grants. Ohkrloite Chronicle. Mr. Robert Watchorn, Com missioner of Immigration, made an address to the Federation of Jewish Organizations, in New York recently in which he took the ground that the immigrants wno nave made tneir homes in tho United States have done just aamuch for the country as the country has for them; that the rules governing the acceptance by the steamship companies of objectionable aliens, who are pret ty certain to be ordered deported on their arrival here should be made a great deal more rigid, and that it is the immigrant who has landed yearsbefore, and who fails to live up to his duty of lending a helping hand to the friend or relative that follows him to this country, who are re sponsible for many deporta tions." Yesterday three of tKejwho would restrict immigration young English women who re cently arrived in Charlotte were deported, much against their will. One of them had a good home and pleasant, intelligent surroundings in Charlotte, and the others could have had the same, but being under deporta tion orders, saw the futility of it. Our own people regretted to see these young women ordered out of the country as keenly as did the victims of the order themselves,- Deportation is a se rious thing, when one comes to consider it seriously. Mr. Watch orn has the proper feeling in the matter when he says: "When deportations take place I am pained, not because the poor unfortunate is a Jew, or an Italian, but because he is a man just like myself. I never saw a man, or a woman, or a child placed on a steamship, to be sent back to Europe that I did not fully share his sorrow, and I sin cerely hope that in the future laws will be framed, based on experience, that will still greater reduce deportation from this country." It appears from the statement of the Commissioner that during the past thirty days there were deported more than 100 men and women to whom the benefit of every doubt had been given; who had been permitted to land, but who within a year after that landing had been sent back to the immigration bureau by chari table organizations as having be come charges on the community. "I tell you," said the Commis sioner, "that the man or woman, be he Jew br Gentile, that comes to Ellis Island and gets an alien ianded and then turns him adrift is unworthy of the name of the race to which he belongs, and it is that man that furnishes the greatest argument to those most Mr. Watchorn evidently knows what he is speaking about and the character of individual he describes cannot be too se verely denounced. Discussing in a general way, things that should be done, the Commissioner says that when Congress passes some drastic measure ruling out many of those who would land it will not be the fault of the im migrant but of tnose who have failed to stand by him after he has gotten it. He favors, and always has favored, a careful se lection, so as to keep out such people as are obviously unfitlted to take care of themselves. In other words the law should be based on. individual grounds. The man who would close the door against all immigrants has not given any thought whatever to the subject. In the Charlotte deportations, there 'was none of the abandon ment features which the Com missioner speaks of. On the con trary, the women deported were intelligent, and had a trade which made them independent and en tirely able to care for themselves. Their deportation was un outrage against the boasted freedom and liberty to this country, but was in compliance with a labor law the effect of which upon the com mercial, manufacturing and farm ing interests of the country was perhaps not realized by the Con gressmen when they passed it. Lower Court Reversed In Anson Case. Rtlelgh Times, 32nd. As briefly announced in The Evening Times yesterday, the supreme court of North Carolina reversed the lower court in State vs. Lewis, from Union county, so that it will be neces sary now for Zeke Lewis to stand trial in Union county . for partici pation in the lynching of J. V. Johnson at Wadesboro, Anson county, May 28. In the trial , below the judge allowed a motion by defendants counsel to quash the indictment pn the ground that as the lynch ing was in Anson the indictment could not be brought in Union, and also that no associates in conspiracy wer mentioned, even as "unknown to the jury." This" loop hole was thought to be made through the cutting up of the original act against lynching. Laws of 1893, imto sections scat tered through the 1905 revisal. The supreme court holds that the force and effect of the chan ter is not impaired by being split up in sections under appropriate headings in the revisal; that au thority to try the oase in Union is ample and it was error t.r huashthe bill at the former trial in either court.
