Taking the elective franchise from persons incompetent to exercise it is good itself, and removing the evil effects of saloons is even batter. A case from South Carolina will argued before the Supreme Court of the United States when it meets next October, which may have an important bearing on the institutions that exist in North Carolina- The court will de whether the dispensaries must pay the government retailer's tax. The government revenue officials have held the managers of the dispensary are actually deal- and as such must pay the tax imposed by revenue laws. The state of South Carolina has entered a suit against the federal government for the recovery of such sums of money as have been paid in on this account- The suit, which was filed in the court of claims was dis- missed, and then an appeal was taken to the Supreme Messenger. N. C, Aug. 1904. Editor I will ask you kindly to publish a brief communication in the interest of the extension of the rural free delivery service. The value convenience of this service to the farmers who live more or less remote from existing post offices cannot be questioned. If one doubts it let him go into the homes of those who are now served by the rural carrier. There are at present routes this district The following ties have two or more existing Pitt, Martin, Beaufort, Hyde, Perquimans and Washington. Pitt stands at the head of the list and has in actual operation routes. The next in order Martin county routes, Beaufort county routes, and Pas- routs. The counties of Perquimans and Hyde have each routes and Washington county has two routes- There are petitions pending for routes starting from a number of It is significant that the applications for this service are more numerous and where the service has already been There are six counties in which no routes have yet been established, Currituck, Gates, Hertford, Tyrrell and Dare. cations are pending in Gates county for one route each from and Sunbury and an plication for one route in Hertford county is Harrellsville It would be extremely gratifying if this service could be extended in- to and counties. It is probable that the service could not be established in any part of Dare county except Roanoke Island where probably ideal route could be arranged. It is necessary that the people the locality which desires this vice shall first move in the matter by laying out a route and getting up a petition and a map and for- ward the same to their All that your representative can do is to call the matter to your attention and emphasize its Any citizen who takes an initial part in this movement will deserve his community. I shall be happy to hear from any citizen and to forward literature and blank petitions Each route must start from a prefer- ably located on a railroad or at a county seat. It must embrace a distance of about miles and there must be at least heads of lies to be served. Very respectfully, H. Small. Drinking Ken at a Discount.
