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.

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.” n iH in YOU WANT Tht But Stock aud Lowsit Bates, Far <tl»t>nt shlpiwcnu to JM.ro «|wn«* aa freight charge* atftr you 100,000 giid woil rvoiot.
