Tho Waycross Board of Trade met
yesterday afternoon to hear a report
from Postmaster C. E. Murphy and
discuss tho question of dosing tho

Sunday's. Mr. Murphy explained
u| on all over the country, and the
at Department had requested him
to seek tho opinion of the public and
see whether tho delivery department
of the post office at Waycross should
he closed on Sunday's, The United
States government are adopting tho
8 hours movement' in all tho depart
ments, at request of tho Union men.
And they can only make it possible
in tho post offices by discontinuing
tho Sunday deliveries.
Tho proposed plan will .only require
three men instead of fourteen at tho
pc.at ofllco working on Sunday, and
these three will only have to he
there long enough to get the mail In
to tho boxes.
The matter was pretty thoroughly
discussed. Judge J. I,. Sweat sug
gesting that perhaps it might work
a hardship upon the working people
who got their mail on Sunday. Mr.
Jasper Wylding took the position
that the workingmen would probably
npprovo the plnn, ns they were henr-
tlly in accord with the 8-hour a day
plan for ail classes of work nnd
3,ould willingly suffer some slight in
convenience to see tho 8-hour a day
gain ground. After further discus-
don, on motion 1 o fJudge .1. T. Myers,
he matter was postponed and Sec
retary Andrews requested to com
municate with Central Labor Council
consisting of representatives of tho
various unions, and get their opinion
ns to their feelings on the matter,
lor guidance of Postmaster Murphy.

fence on flro In Mr. C. H. Lowthers

blaze, but Mrs. Lowther suggested
that (t must havo been some of the
fire carried from the Phillips meeting
at Central Baptist chucb last night.
