THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, UECEMBEK H 7 CLAY HOLDS UP 2 Women Postmasters in Geor gia Can’t Be Removed Without Cause. Washington, Dec. 14.-rT£e confirma tion of two Georgia postmasters has been held up in the senate, by Senator ('lay, pending the receipt of charges against them by citizens of Toccoa and Conyers, it Is said that two women postmasters, who have served ten years each, are to give way to the new ap pointees. 1 Senator Clay asserts that he Is mere ly holding up confirmation of the offi cials until the Georgia people can be heard from and that he docs not know of any concerted movement on the part 'of the administration to remove v.-omen postmasters throughout the South generally, as has been charged. The Interesting feature of Senator (May's request was the charge that Harry Stillwell Edwards told Frank Hitchcock, first assistant postmaster ' general, that It would be necessary to turn out the women postmasters In Georgia and give their places to men in order to control the delegates to the next national convention for the ad ministration. Senator Clay, who is a member of the committee of the senate on post- offices and post roads, says the two're moved are but the entering wedge In the general plan to remove all the women postmasters In Georgia and to give their places to men. He resists the plan as being lp opposition to good business and not In accordance with the administration's policy to make no removals except for cause. Special to The Georgian. Toccoa, Ga., Dec. 14.—In discussing the appointment of T. W. Scott, a local Republican leader, to succeed her as postmaster at Toccoa, Mrs. Hattie F. 'Gilmer today said: *1 was appointed postmaster of Toc coa In 1903, and my term expired on the 24th of last February, As a new ap pointment had not been made, I have held Jhe office since that time. I have been faithful to the duties of the office and- thf people here seem to have ap preciated my efforts. Surely It could not be said that the change was made because of incompetence, ns the affairs of the office have been carried on with perfect success. "I think the change is made for po litical reasons alQne.” The people of Toccoa at a mass meet ing yesterday strongly Indorsed Mrs. Gilmer and urged her reappointment to the office. She has the good will of the people of this place. SppcinI to The Georgian. • ’onyers, Ga if Dec. 14.—Mrs. Mary A. Melton has the assurance that the ap pointment of John T. McCollum will be held up and thinks that she will re ceive the reappointment. So far as she knows there is no charge against her.

Washington, Dec. 14.—While no di rect confirmation of the persistent re port can be secured, there is reason to day for the belief that Secretary Cor teiyou will very soon announco in formal way his candidacy for the pres tdentfal nomination. Privately and confidentially, Secre tnry Cortelyou has Indicated his feeling that he hgs been unfairly dealt with by the Taft boomers, who have so con siantly carried to the president com plaints about, the proceedings of the secretary of the treasury. The report that Secretary Loeb will become man ager of the Taft boom has aroused the greatest Interest. A • There has been no such direct ana emphatic denial as to satisfy people who would not like the prospect of such a development. • KEEP YOUR EYE ON UNCLE JOE CANNON Washington, Dec. 14.—"Keep your eye on Uncle Joe.” This is the word that is going around Washington these days.

EXCHANGE BUSINESS DESIRES FOR BUSINESS EQUIPMENT CRICHTON’S BUSINESS COLLEGE IS INDORSED BY THE LEADING BUSINESS FIRMS FOR THE PERFECTION OF ITS INSTRUCTION TO YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN ENTERING ^ UPON BUSINESS CAREERS. WOMAN PUNCHED COLLECTOR’S FACE Mrs. Lee Smith, a widow, of 46 Kel ly street, proved herself handy with her fists Thursday afternoon when she landed a couple of times on J. H. Gold stein, a former merchant In Connally street, who sought to collect an old debt. Not only did Mrs. Smith strike the former merchant In the face and quick ly put him to rout, but she Is said to have later remarked that If she had possessed a pistol at the time she would have shot him. When'Bicycle Policemen Adams and Arthur served Mrs. Smith with a copy of charges, citing her to appear In po lice court, at the Instigation of Gold stein, she Is said to have exclaimed, pointing her finger at Goldstein: "If you have me fined In police court. I’ll fix you, alt right." When Mrs. Smith was arraigned Friday afternoon In police court and this circumstance was brought out, Re-i corder Broyles, with a smile, turned to Goldstein and remarked: "Well, I don’t suppose you want me to fine Mrs. Smith, do you?" The former merchant, notwithstand ing the threat, left the matter In the hands of the court. Mrs. Smith made no denial of strik ing Goldstein, and Judge Broyles Im posed a fine of 26.75. MORE MONEY FOR TRIAL OF THAW Crichton’* Business College la an ex change In a way. The young man or young woman de siring to enter a business career brings into Crichton’s the desire for proper equipment and exchanges it for the equipment itself. This applies particularly to the short hand department. An earnest desire to acquire the art of shorthand writing Is smoothly nnd quickly transformed Into the actual ability—so smoothly and quickly, in fact, that the student scarcely realizes how rapidly the'trans- formation progresses. The Crichton Syllabic Method Is responsible for this Improved shorthand Instruction, the metfiod having been demonstrated In hundreds of Instances as the most re markable and the most beneficial ad vance that has ever been made In con nection with shorthand teaching. The college does not depend merely upon its own statements to support its character and efficiency. The most prominent business men of the com munity heartily Indorse the methods and the results as shown In the work of the graduates. J. M. High & Co. state In a letter: "We employed direct from yo’tir col lege one of your graduates as stenog rapher, and do not hesitate to state that she was the best and most effi cient stenographer we ever engaged.” Such Indorsements from firms of the standing and scope of this one can mean nothing more than perfection In the Instruction of students. The col lege has other Indorsements equally satisfactory In regard to its business department graduates, nnd would be pleased to mall them together with a complete catalog of the'college, on ap plication.

O O 0 TIOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO If people would make up their Christmas packages as long as possi ble before Christmas they would con fer a great favor on the postoffice de partment and Incidentally bo eurer of their gifts reaching their destination. It takes Uncle Sam much longer, even with additional help, to deliver his Santa Claus goods and an allowance of from three to four days more time than usual should always be made. If milady will get her packages away on December 20 that she usually sends on the 22d she will be doing her share toward, lightening the burden of the poetoffice employee., There nre so many mistakes made at Christmas time nnd so many people wait until the last moment before send ing their packages that It Is a wonder the mall man does as well. Before any present Is done up one should be pro vlded with plenty of stout brown pa per nnd firm string and be generous In their use. The use of scant paper and string causes tho loss of many par cels. But chief among tho mistakes at Christmas time Is the lack of proper uddress. Here Is the regulation form for ’letters and packages prepared for Uncle Sam himself nnd after follow ing this one can be pretty sure the parcel will reach Its destination or be heard from. Follow these Instructions nnd your letter will not go astray: Use Ink In addressing letters or other mall matter. ' Write plainly the name of the person addressed, street and number, poetof fice and state. Place your name and address In the upper left-hand corner of the enve lope. Follow the model form shown on the diagram, and If the letter la not deliv ered It will be returned to you. More than eleven million pieces of mall matter were Bent to the division of dead letters last year, a large pro portion of which could not be delivered because of carelessness In writing ad dresses. In one of the large cities there Is a postmaster who has grown old In the service. One day he had an Idea. "I've told people what to do about Christmas packages until I am tlrsd of It," he ex claimed. “Every year our office Is load ed with parcels poorly directed, torn, or coming at the last moment. Now, I am going to tell people what not to do and see If that' will strike them.” And eo he complied the following: In sending packages by mall: "Don't forget that many drug stores In the residence districts are postal stations, where stamps and money or ders are sold, mall Is weighed, letters and packages are registered and postal Information given. "Don’t fall to give full address and name, preceded by the word 'from' on the upper left-hand corner of every piece of mall. "Don't fall to write the full address, street, number (or box), town, county and state of destination. Write .the name of state In full. Don't mall a parcel without pre viously weighing It to ascertain the amount of postage required; printed matter. 1 cent for two ounces; mer chandise, I cent an ounce; limit four pounds. "Don’t place handkerchiefs, neckties or other articles of merchandise In packages of printed matter unless you prefer to pay the higher rate of postage on the whole. "Don't tenl or wrap parcels In such a manner that their contents may not ha easily examined, unless you desire to pay letter rates of postage. "Don't use 1 or 2 cent stamps for postage on heavy packages. Use the larger denominations. It saves you trouble In affixing them and saves time In the poetoffice. "Don't mall packages on the street boxes, or they may never reach tha poetoffice. Package boxes are provided at coavenlent places with frequent col lections. "Don't use tags or labels exclusively for addresses, as they are llablo to be come separated from the packages. Ad dress the wrappers also. . "Don’t hesitate to write any form of dedication or Inscription, such ns 'Mer ry Christmas,' 'Happy New Year.' Compliments of the Season,' or any writing of that nature, of an Impersonal character, with your name. "Don't mall sealed packages of mer chandise to Canada and Mexico. Tho rates for unsealed packages to thota countries are the same ns In tho United States, viz.: 1 cent per ounce. "Don't mall parcels of merchandise to foreign countries without making special Inquiry concerning tho regula- tlons governing parcel post mail. "Don't mall Jewelry and coins to for- eign countries. They are positively prohibited from the malls. "Above all things, mall your parcels early, for the postoffice department can not transit and deliver mall In the same number of days and hours as at other times." If, after following all these directions, you are still afraid of losing a Christ mas package, register It. The cost Is 8 cents for registry fee In addition to the postage, both of which must ho pre paid by stamps affixed to the matter. Thin makes the postofflco department responsible for losses up to 225. While at Christmas and other busy times through mall pouches are used to ex pedite transmission of mall matter, It Is almost an Impossibility to deliver as rapidly, and this nppllcs to foreign an well as to domestic mall. In cases where 1t takes a package some time to reach a foreign district It Is best to allow a week extra at Christmas time. Parcels weighing 1 pound or less can be sent to most foreign .countries for 12 cent*, hut so many things require tho payment of duty that nearly alt em igrants to this country send home checks. Thousands of dollars go In this way from districts settled by Swedes. Germans nnd Italians nnd In many cases "the fulks In the. homeland 1 ' would rather have tho money than presents. When you get your Christmas par cels , ready for the mall box. do not slip them In all at once at the end of the day. Most people seem Inspired with this motive. This makes the malt unusually bulky for the man who col lects at night. Just remember some of these hints In preparing your parcels for Christmas, will you? And see It your packages are not safer nnd Un cle Sam’s servants happier. WHY NOT SMOKE GOLD GLASSES For Chriitmu at Jno. L. Moore & Sons’.
