It was ono of the largest political

nominee for presidential elector from
the second congressional district,
Cupt. W. E. Wooten, democratic
nominee for State senator from the
tenth district.
Ool. Walters occupied the. atten
tion ot the people before dinner, and
made one of his characteristic rous
ing democratic speeches. It was also
a most effective speech, for we aro
told it caused several straddlers to
crawl off the fence on the democratic
aide. . He wanted to know how many
third party people there were in the
crowd und asked all who held to the
views of that party to hold up their
hands; only four went up ill the
groat throng.
At the conclusion of Col. Walters
speech dinner was announced, and

Colqnitt county is just now a fruit

It lms undoubtedly been reported
to tho post-office authorities at Wash
ington that tbe people aro boycott
ing the Tifton post-office, as the
Gazette has been furnished front
tho department with the August
number of the Postal Guido contain-
ing the following marked ruling:
“At many places attempts aro
made to ‘boycott’ post-offices of the
fourth class by placing mail matter
in the Imtuls of railroad agents for
mailing on cars. This practice
should, so far as possible, be discour
aged; and, to tigs end, whenever such
cases aro brought to the notice of
theDepnrtnent, the railroad authori
ties are advised thereof, and request
ed to iSBito such instructions to their
agents us will prevent their becoming
accessory to such ‘boycotting’ pro
ceedings. These requests are usually
complied with, and thus much of
the matter that is sought to lie mail
ed at the cars, for tho purpose of de
priving the postmaster of his com
mission upon the cancellations of the
postage stamps affixed thereto, is
necessarily deposited at the post-office
for mailing.
“The post-oifice is intended for
tho accommodation of the public,
both in the transmission and delivery
of mail matter; the duties of tho
office require the time and labor of
the postmaster, and for tho proper
and faithful j>erforniunco of these
duties he is obliged to furnish ugood
and sufficient bond. Ho also
necessarily provides a place in wlv.sn
to conduct tho business of the office,
and is subject to the expense incident
to heating and lighting thy same.
The amount of his compensation de
pends almost entirely upon the
amount of his cancellations ; hence,
it is manifestly unjust for those who
enjoy the benefits afforded by the
wst-offlee to make a practice of mail
ing their letters elsewhere. Further
more, to do so lms the effect to de
preciate the value of the post-office
to the community in which it is lo
cated, and to retard the enlargement
of postal facilities thereat.
“Every reasonable consideration
should, therefore prompt all good
citizens to frown upon and discour-
ago titc post-office ‘boycott.’ ”
It is true many letters have been
mailed by Tifton business men on
the train for purposes of expedition,
hut. the Gazette is prepared to deny
that there is any organised boycott
of the Tifton post-ofiico, notwith
standing there has been much coni*
plaint and dissatisfaction at the man
ner in which the business -of the
office is conducted, the lack of cxiw-
dition, etc.
The smallness of the room iu
which the office is kept itas been in
convenient and a source of annoyance
to tlie patrons of the office, but they
have borne it quietly because there
was uot a suitable office room iu tbo
city.
This ruling also explains why let
ters attempted to be mailed og the
train have been delayed; they were
Im titled back to the postmaster that
he might get the benefit of the can
cellation.
The Oazette lms no sympathy
with tlie boycott under any circum
stances, and especially of the Unite-l
States mail service, and while tho
editor deuies tliut there is any organ
ized boyoott of tlie Tifton post-office,
he believes there would be fewer let
ters mailed on tho trains than now
if the people are given approximate
ly titc fttcilitice to which they are en
titled,
if postmaster Duff has made this
complaint he should consider, at
least tor a moment, the legal maxim
“He tlt.it would have equity nmst
do equity.”
