HENRY STEELE DEAD Bright Young Man Passed Away This ; Morning Mr. Henry Steele died this morning at his home on West Hargett street after an illness of about three weeks. Mr. Steele came to Raleigh about four years ago. He was a member of the Raleigh Typo graphical Union and held a position in the establishment of Mr. E. M. Uiiell.

' V;' '.' t FREE RURAL '; DELIVERY HERE Government Inspector Looking Qver Routes MR. ATWATER REC0M- ! MENDED ONE FOR RALEIGH Either St, Matthews or Swift Creek will Probibly be Selected Whtt this Rural Delivery Meant At water Appoints Carrier, .. A rural free delivery system will ba established nt Raleigh by the government. This will be done at the request and re- t'ominen lation of Congressman Atwaler. Mr. Lattimer. of the postofflce Depart ment, arrived here today to investigate routes and make his report together with recommendations to the Department at "Washington. Mr. Lattimer will consult with Mr. Long, secretary of Mr. Atwater, here this evening. Only one route will be establish ed at Raleigh, but Mr. Lattimer will in vestigate nnd report on two or more routes. It is more than probable that two of the routes reported on will be: One through St. Matthews township, east of Raleigh, and one through Swift creek township, south of the city. The routes for the carrier are as nearly as possible made a circuit of twenty-five miles. This means that the carrier will receive mail each morning for the people who live on his route and ride over his circuit with it returning in the after noon. The people living in the neighbor hood of the roads the carrier traverses put up boxes along the highway and the carrier deosits their mail in their re spective boxes. At intervals along the circuit the government puts up good iron boxes to receive mail and the carrier col lects the mail from these boxes on each trip an 1 brings it to Raleigh. These box es for receiving mail of people on the route are not furnished by the govern ment, they are private property, but when the government goes to this ex pense for their convenience they should put up good substantial boxes. Mr. Lattimer says that the government aims of course to put these rural delivery routes through the most populous terri tory where they will serve the most peo ple. The government establishes these circuits only where the roads are good. The carrier for this Raleigh route will be appointed by Mr. Atwater, Congress man uf the district. He must furnish his own conveyance ai.il horse and make the route every day. People living several miles from the highway can put up boxes and have their mail delivered just as if they were directly on the route. These people caa send to their boxes and get the mail just as they woull to their box In a post office. The government has already establish ed 1.400 of these rural delivery routes, although the system was only inaugurat ed a few months ago. Mr. Lattimer ar ranged routes at Wilmington and Char lotte last week. MARRIAGE THIS MORNING Miss Leila Lawrence and Mr. E. A. Car ter of Plymouth Web. Miss Leila.

McNamee is the manager of the Ynndcrhnlt estate and in close touch with the national administration, nnd he intends visiting Washington mid teresting several departments there n our lair. In tact, he will probably get some valuable assistance from Washington, something thrit has never been secured before. He is also pav- ng special attention while in New York to .securing attractions novel, nteresling. entirely new in this State, Hid it might be added that thev lire xiiensive as will. Mr. McNuinee.
