8 LETTERS COING JOJfflM From People in Georgia Will Be Received bv the Sol* diers of the Third. SENATOR BACON'S WORK In Behalf of the Parents and Others. Large Quantities of Mail Delivered. t 1 The people of Macon and throughout the •whole state will be glad to know that the members of Colonel Ray's regiment, the Third Georgia, have received their belated mail’and that in future their mail will be delivered promptly. Senator Bacon, who returned from Wash- • ington last night, having been there for several days In the interest of the state and the location of .troops in Georgia for the winter, found the following letter awaiting him: , Hon. A. O. Bacon, Macon, aG. Sir: Upon receipt of your telegram of the I, ultimo, in regard to the delay in de livering 'the mails to the Third regiment, United States Volunteers, I cabled thtj pos tal agent at Santiago to investigate and report. In a cablegram dated the 29th ul timo, the postal agent states that not a single letter or newspaper remains in the office undelivered. You doubtless understand that the post office department has no mail route be tween the United States and Cuba at pres ent, and that the mails are all carried by the war department transports. The pos tal agent states that there was a long in terval during which no mails arrived at Santiago. Very respectfully, Perry ,S. Heath, First Assistant Postmaster General. The fact that the soldiers of the regi ment had not received their mail had been brought to Senator Bacon’s attention and ond September 28th he telegraphed the postmaster general requesting that he send a cablegram to Santiago directing that 'the mail for the Third Georgia be “sorted out” and delivered to the soldiers. On the followipg day he received a tele gram from the postmaster general sending a copy of the cable sent at his request. The telegram stated that a quantity of belated mail had been received and that it had •been sorted out and delivered at the dif ferent points where the soldiers are now located. Hundreds of anxious people all over the state will thank the senator for his action. South Macon Dots Quite an interesting service was held at Jones Chapel yesterday at 11 o’clock, the pastor. Rev.
