If more women only realised how
much easier It la to clean the

Is it Against the Law to 8ell Poe-
. tags Stamps at a /Profltf
That Is the question which! pa
pers In different sections of the
State have been discussing, and
curiously enough hardly any of the
papers and few of the postmasters
who were appealed to know wheth
er there is such a law or not
■ It*s pointed out that It a profit
la allowed by the taw that hotels,
drug .stores and like places which
have been selling stamps , for ac
commodation to their patrons at
cost,' have' been over-looking a
source of revenue In not giving
customers two bcent stamps, for
Instance,' for a nickel, thus making
a penny on each sale of that kind.
- Mr. George R. McGowan, assis
tant postmaster In Valdosta, was
ashed by a Times reporter lor the
law on the quest'on. He stated
that section of the postal' laws
and regulations expressly forblda
postal employees (charging more
than face value for stomps, or trad
ing them Jor merchandise, the pay
ment of debts, etc. Whether the
law applied also to persons other
than postal employees he could not
say, but was Inclined to believe
that there were laws which do.
The Rome-Trlbune Herald Is one
of the Georgia papers which has
been diecuesing the question, and
It appealed to Capt, John C. Prln-
tup, deputy clerk and commissioner
of the United States court there.
Captain Prinlup cit.es section 3920
of the revised statutes which pro
vides a penalty of 3100 to 3000 fine
for any postal employe who sells
stamps for more than their face
value.
Section 3335, thd last In the act
provides a penalty'of Imprisonment
for not less than 6 months or more
than a year, for any person not a
postal employe, violating the provis
ions of “the. preceding aeetlon. Cap
tain Prlntup thinks this means all
of the preceding sections, end not
merely section 3924, That seotlon
refers to the use of the canceled
stamps. If the Commissioner la
correot In hie construction of the
law, then no one ought to eell
stamps for. a.' profit. If the' lection
refers only to the preceding section,
the question Is still an open one.

pier as well aa, the other'>>1106 of
ficers, believe they have caught o^s
of the leading sneak thieves . who
have given .so much trouble In the
city for some . time. They consider
him one of . the biggest--.rogues

. For a week the officer* have been
making a quiet but dllUgent search
for the thief who on Wednesday
night of last week entered the home
of former Policeman Hill and stole
a suit of clothes, pair of shoes, pis
tol, watch and several other ar-
Deles.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Hill resigned hi* position on t^e
police force here some weeks ego
end accepted • position with the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad as spe
cial detective agent He" had gone
to Waycrhss and assumed his du
ties with- the road, but hla family
were still in Valdosta until .arrange
ments could be made foT them to
move to : Waycross. It was while
Mr.” Hill was away and Mr*. Hill
and the children were not at home
cne night that the theft was com
mitted.
It so happened that Mr. Hill waa
In Valdosta last night, and while
fiewn at the Georgia Southern de
pot he eaw a suspicious looking ne
gro and he went over and got him.
-While searching the negro, to the
officer’s great delight he found hla
own watch, a gold pen that belong
ed to hla wife and probably other
articles op tbe negro.
. The officers aoon tonnd the negro
hud sold the snlt of clothes end
shoes to one of the Syrian merch
ants near tha, Georgia Southern de
pot. - They "afterwards recovered
these articles and everything else
stolen from Mr. Hill except Uls pi*-

It was later found that, the negro
