UNCLE CRANFORD HERRIN
NOW OUT OF A JOB.
Postoffics Depa'tment Discontinues
Important Rura'i Route at Winder.
Dissat sfaction and Delay of
of Service the Result.
Winder rural route No. 20, M. C-
Herrin, carrier, has be-en discontin
ued by the post office department at.
Washington. This was the meet ini
por ant route going out from the
Win ler postoffice. The statistics
show that .Mr. Herrin handled more
mail.than either one of the other four
locai carrions.
The route has been split in some
kind of a bungled up manner and
the work put upon Mr. Pendergrass
of the local office and Mr. Lord, coin
ing out from Jefferson We have
been told that Mr. Lord’s route' now
reac iiee to the home of Mr. A. Lb
Wa within four and one-half miles
of Winder and fourteen iniVta fran
his ;ase of distribution by way of
the ~oute laid out fur him.
T* ere is much dissatisfaction in
Cha dler’s district. by reason of this
seemingly uncalled for arrangement,
and the great inconvenience it caus
es the people living in that territory
It causes people living within fi\’ ( 'e
miles of Winder to suffer a day's
delay in. the delivery of their mail.
There is one man living six miles
from Winder takes the Ptoladel
phi a Daily Press. He will now re
ceive that paper and the Daily Con
stitution issued upon, even date by
the same mail.
In order for Mr. Lord %o deliver
mail to the citizens of Bartow coun
tvf in Chandler’s district be must
two rivers and travel a tre
mei/t vsly lengthy route for a rural
mail carrier - (JhandLer’s district is
not con'Uguo’iLi to Jefferson by a. long
shot, and the people of the territory
anticipate further delay’s and total
failures te delftciar for dajns at the
time, under the present arrangement,
/wttien the winter seasons set in and
tile rivers rise.
We do net care- to say just whom
,w e think it is, but it appears to us
that somebody at Washington has
fallen down on the job. If it was
absolutely necessary that one of our
rural routes should be discontinued,
surely a better arrangemfont than
the one now in vogue could have
been effected.
If retrenchment is the order of
the day, it might be veil for I'iicle
Sam to abolish, the Go? arnmeni Print
ers’ Pension Office, which, it is
said, squanders a half million an
nually. or discontine the distribution
of garden seed for a few- years, in
stead of denying the formers the
fronts of the rnly legislation passed
fof their e.-pecial benefit. Cuttung
out rural routes to curtail expenses
reminds us of a fellow who practices
economy by skimping the table.
NOBODY ENTHUSIACTIC.
r*
It is doubtful if the great Ameri
can, people view* the convening of
their Congress with any great degree
of satisfaction.. It Ss still somewhat
of a crucial time and most of us hav*
distinct memories of how Congresses
get to talking and blunder through
all the china in. the shops, making a
fearful muss fa- skilled shopkeepers
to clean up.
There is one thing to be hoped' de
voutly—that the two houses will have
aen.se enough to see that for the last
fourteen months things: have been
liauuieu as compel ently a-s could
be wish and l'cr by taht portion of the
government supposed to remain per
manently on the job in Washington,
a"d so seeing govern itself according-
r But this is too much to hope for.
it is to be f are-d.

WHERE WE’RE GROWiNG SANER.
The failure of one of the largest

“tire px>pLe arc getting away from

a welcome sign of ‘nlightcnnient.
Slowly but suroly are wie seeing the
more rational, hopeful arul common
sense view taking root of doing a way
with black as a sign of tire passing
