Mr. Starr it au old and experienced
railroad mau and served for a long time
in the employ of the Richmond and Dan
ville, and rote from the foot of the lad
der to position* of trust snd responsi
bility.
When the Richmond and Danville
leased the Central, Mr. Starr wat super
intendent of tho main stem and did not
hesitate to express Ids disapproval of
the change.
He wat iptoted at saying that the
Richmond and Danville had to borrow
the money with which to pay off, and
for thii assertion hit resignation waa
asked for by the Richmond and Danville
authorities.
Since then Mr. Starr has been manager
of the Savannah Brewing Company at a
splendid salary.

The new system waa heartily wel
corned by tbs people, and they proceed
rri to give the carriers something to do.
Around the poatoffice everybody was

I’oatmaater Roney and aaaiatant John

day everything passed in excellent order
yesterday.
The route* were new to the carriers,
but they covered the ground. Some
thing over 1,000 nieces of mail were
taken up from the boxes. The pieces
distributed were 270 letter*, 10t> paper*,
15 poatal cards anil a number of circa-

At yet the authorities cannot an
nounce a regular schedule for Uklng up

will probably be adopted:
The carriers will take up mail before

in time for the Sam and for Columbna.
At 7 o'clock they will take their routes
and delivar mall received during the
night. At 11 o*clock they will gather
