THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NO. 273. * MERRY WAR DN WITH SENATORS f B'Bfe and clay work at PURPOSES IN POST OFFICE DISPUTE. CAUSED BY ELBEKTON CHANGE The Affair is Attracting Widespread Attention and Final Results Will Be Watched With Interest. Washington, August IS. —Senators Bacon and Clay arc involved in a war over a little third class IHistoflice site at Ellxrloii, Ga., and in- humor 01 the situation is that th'\v are not aware that taey are work in;.' at'cross pul poses. The proposition is to change the lo of the postoffii e from the pres P§k to either i in' Swift huii.li.ig l, " nc building. m imiui i the Swift landing and Senator Bacon is an advocate of the Long loin.ling. The amount involved is a rental of $175 a year. Judging from tne mass of papers filed in the case and the clerical labor involved in fil ing them, it would seem that thou rands instead of hundreds of dollars might he the prize contended so stren uously for. While al the poMotliee department u. few days ago a messenger came into 'he acting postman tutor general's ot liee nearing an immense pile of pa lters. “uere arc some additional papers Ju the Eiberton (■as.'*,’' remarked tlie private secretary, placing the bundle i.i< liiir Ills i-nil'f “What!” exclaimed tno acting post master general,, “Will we never iieai tin- lust of that Eiperton cane? ' There was some official talk about the matter and it. was finally decided Unit in view of the apparent conflict between the two Georgia donators on the subject tnat final action shall be postponed until Postmaster Gener al l'aync returns from his vacation. The Eiherton ease has been pend ing before the salary and allowance division of the postofhee department : e several months It appears tnat tne present site is,not regarded con veuient or adequate for ihe demands 111 the Oftp-e, heriee -a <■ liunt>,- is desir ed. Soon after Postmaster Hearn, who was appointed’’’ not long ago, took charge of _i.e 0.-ce he recoin mended the removal of the ofSrt to the Swift building in YitnaUnn, it is said, of the agreement 'ul xake the Ixing huihling Senator Clay and Jtepres. ntative J toward went to the postotfiee depart ment several times aim reeommendeu ihe transfer to the Swift, twilu.ng, in accordance with t..e suggestions of tiie postmaster anu other citizens with med to ho interested in the ma -< j Apparently without knowing w/iat a< coy Senator Clay and Kopros'-ntatfe'c . .oward h*ad taken, Senator Bacon comes along with an endorsement of the Bong Building nuu. As Senator Clay is a member of the senate comtiinioo on postollii • sand post roads, 'his recommendations have great weight at the department. Sen ator Bacon is also an influential mem ber of tne senate, and nis suggestions are always given full consideration by tiie authorities. The postofllce peo ple are “up against it. ’ to use a pop ular expression. Ordinari.y sued an insignificant case would lie disposed of without hardly a passing notice, but in tnis instance —ere appears to he so much feeling exu-mted by the parties interested -lgt -- —reatens to become a „o issue.
