BETTER MAIL
SERVICE EOR RIEL
Postoffice Authorities Ar
ranging For Branch That
Will Facilitate Deliv
eries in Summerville and
Monte Sano.
When In Washington recently Post
master S. B. Vaughn took up with
the poatofTlce department the matter
of better mall facilities for the vih
lage of Summerville, and expressed
his desire for the establishment of a
branch poatofTlce at that place, and
the resuit was that PoatofTlce Inspec
tor E. D. Beatty of Atlanta was sent
to Augusta to look over the situation
and submit a Tcnort. Mr. Beatty and
the postmaster have, during the past
two days, gone over thoroughly every
letall of the Summerville situation,
and ft Is hoped that very shortly tho
Washington authorities will make an
announcement which will give the res
idents of Summerville and Monte Sano
a better mall service, and that, the
branch postoffice will he established
with a large force of carriors.
As present the residents of Sum
merville receive their mall from the
Augusta postofflce by carriers from
that building and as a result there Is
a delay of over one half hour, caused
by the long trip to the route of each
man. The postmaster and the Inspec
tor have gone over the matter thor
oughly and It Is rumored are now
ready to report upon what will be the
most, logical plan of delivering the
Summerville mall. They have secured
the hearty co-operation of the Intend
ant of Hummerville. Mr. Burum, hut
among the citizens of Summerville
there seems to be little Interest taken.
Should the government approve of
the report of the inspector it will be
necessary to secure a suitable loca
tion for the branch postoffioo, and so
far the local poatofTlce representatives
have met with little success In secur
ing the place desired. The postoffioo
regulations for the free carrier deliv
ery are always strictly adhered To
ahd It Is absolutely necessary that
the cooperation of the citizens served
by this service shall he given the
government For a town to have free
carrier delivery It Is necessary that
each street shall be named and the
houses and places of business on these
streets shall he consecutively and sys
tematically numbered. Signs showing
the names of the streets must be
placed at each Intersection of streets.
At all times the streets and sidewalks
must be In good condition so that the
delivery of the mall shall not be Inter
fered with. It Is the desire of the
postmaster and the Intendant of Sum
merville that the cooperation of the
citizens shall he given In order that
the branch postoffice and better car
rier service can be more quickly or
dered Installed by the government

One of the advantages
of Grape-Nuts food is
that it is pre-digested in
the process of manufac
ture.
The starch contained
in the wheat and barley
is trasformed into grape
sugar by exactly the
same method as this pro
cess is carried on in the
human body, that is, by
the use of moisture and
long exposure to moder
ate warmth. This grows
the diastase in the grains,
then long baking com
pletes the remarkable
change from starch to
grape-sugar.
Therefore, the most
delicate stomach can
handle Grape-Nuts and
the food is quickly ab
sorbed into the blood and
tissue—certain parts of
it going directly to build
and nourish the brain
and nerve centres.
“There’s a Reason”
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
MR. J. BUTT DIED
IN EUFAULA, ALA.
Mr. Jerry Butt, of Eufaula, Ala.,
died Wednesday. No further details
have yet been received. Mr. Butt
was a brother of the late William T.
Butt of Augusta and has a number of
relatives In the city. He has two
nieces, Mrs. Chester Clark and Miss
Annie Bntt and one nephew, Mr. Wil
liam T. Butt In Augusta, besides
other relatives.
THE PLAY LIST NIGHT
It Is psychically cleansing to see
such plays as “The Wolf," which ap
peared before two large audiences at
the Grand Wednesday. It is a strong
play. Its passions are elemental and
grip hard. Its men love as men, not
as highly-civilized mentalities. The
sentiments portrayed are primeval and
so close to nature. That is why one
feels refreshed after the final curtain,
even though there 13 a crudity about
the animalism exhibited by the men
In their love for Hilda.
When Andrew Robson first, gave us
"Jules Beautrten" all hailed him as ?
great actor. This year’s appearance
confirms the opinion. The production
1« far ahead of last year’s scenically,
and the cast is really stronger, where
changes have been made, with the pos
sible exception of Mr. Maitland as Mc-
Donald, who, however, gave a satis
factory portrayal of a* difficult role.
Lynne Overman, wno was here last
season as the lisping boy with Paul
Gilmore In the Boys of Company B.
was excellent as the effervescent
Huntley. Mr. Slider’s Mactavlsh still
deserves praise for his handling of
the burry dialect “frae the Hlelands,”
while Mr. Sherwood’s Baptiste is as
fine as Theodore Roberts himself
could have done It. Of course, the
scoffers are going to say this is too
strong, but it stands, notwithstanding.
Miss Brun Johnson Is this year's
Hilda and gave a smoother, more re
poseful, broader rendition of the role
than her predecessor.
As said above, the staging was ex
cellent and It Is likely that Arthur
Williams’ originality was in evidence
In more ways than in the shading of
tne footlights, which, by the way. was
a clevor conceit. J. J. F.
EXAMINATIONS FOR
CENSUS EMPLOYES
Civil Service Department
Will Hold Examinations
Here October Twenty-
Third.
The United States civil service
commission announces an examina
tion on October the 23rd, 1909, to se
cure ellgibles with which to supply
the additional force in the oensns bu
reau at Washington, D. C., for the
three-year decennial census period
which ends June 80th, 1912.
The approximate number of ap
pointments to be made is 8,000. The
entrance salary will be at tho rate of
S6OO per annum, and promotion to at
least S9OO per annum will be reason
ably repaid for those who render sat
isfactory service.

penmanship, and copying from plain

In addition to the regular clerkship
examinations announced above, there
will also be examinations held for the
appointment of what are termed sub
clerical positions, which examinations
will be held at tho same time. The
census examination Is exciting much
interest over the country generally for
the reason that occurs only once In
ten years, and It Is believed that the
ntimher of applicants for positions in
the servioe will be very large. The
following sections from the census
bulletin received by Mr. Carroll shows
the salaries of the sub-olerioal force
together with much other valuable in
formation to prospective applicants.
The salaries of sub-clerical posi
tions will be as follows: Messengers,
$340; assistant messengers $720; mes
senger hoys $480; watchmen $720;
laborers $720; charwomen $240.
All appointments will be on proba
tion, and if the service Is unsatisfac
tory may be terminated at the end
of one month or at any later period.
All appointments will be temporary
and subject to termination as the exi
gencies of the service may require.
In no case will appointments from
this examination extend beyond June
SO, 14)12. The length of service of
satisfactory employees will range
usually from six mouths to two year*
and will average probably about one
year.
Appointees will not be eligible for
transfer into the classltiod servioe.
It is expected that no appointments
from this examination wfll be necess
ary before January 1, 19X0, and but
few will be made until April, 1910,
The maximum force will be employed
about August, 1910,
Blank application forma, together
with a pamphlet of information con
cerning appointments and other de
tails can be obtained from Secretary
Eugene W, Carroll «t the Augusta
poet office.
