Growth of Postal
Receipts Since 1900
The following figures furnish¬
ed by Postmaster N. T. Jones
will be of interest and surprise to
many as showing the amount of
business transacted in this office
since the present postmaster
took charge eight years ago. Mr.
Jones assumed charge of the of¬
fice here on May 1st, 1900. It is
surprising to see how much mail
matter is handled through the
Pelham office, and the ease, f. •
cility and correctness with which
it is handled, speaks most highly
for the postmaster and his capa¬
ble assistants.
Mr. Jones who, by the way,
says that he has not. been sick but
three days in thirty-seven years,
has been absent from the post
office only five days during his
term of eight years. He has made
out every report weekly since he
has been in the office, and has
never had a report returned.
■correction The office hu% never
lost a money order or registered
letter. The final audit of the
post master’s account to June 30th,
1908, shows $1.35'to his credit in
Washington.
In speaking of the proposed
office changes and improvements
Mr. Jones said, “When we get
our new outfit, which we expect
to put in about October 1st next,
we will have the neatest up-to
date office in Georgia.”
There is no better indication of
business activity and progress
than post office receipts, and it
will be interesting to the thought¬
ful person to compare the stamp
and money order sales for each
year given, in order to note
city’s progress. For instance, it
will be noted that the stamp
in 1907 were 547 per cent,
than the sales of 1900.
There has been handsome

Another Chapter in the
Congregational Method¬
ist Mix Up.
Another chapter was read to
the public in the Congregational
Methodist church controversy
which has been going on for
several months.
Rev. T. J. Brunson had sworn
out warrants for J. M. Eure, J. I).
Watkins and J. M. Daughtry,
charging them with disturbing
public worship, and against W;
Rogers charging him with tres¬
pass. i----- By consent, ---------> the — cases -r of “■
Eure and Daughtry were taken
lip together, and after an investi¬
gation which lasted a couple of
hours, they were discharged. The
prosecution was then abandon¬
ed as to the other
two defendeuts. The inves
tigation disclosed that there
are two factions in the church,
one represented by Rev. T. J.
Brunson, and one bv R ev^s^a J.
i r . <_ i *» a. - i a 1 ■ i v
T. J. Brunson had been tnrnfu
out of the church by the opposing
.faction, and had been granted
his letter by his own faction.
Nevertheless, he undertook to
have services in the church in
east Pelham on the third Sunday
in July and invited Rev. White
there to preach. When the
company arrived, Messrs, Daugh¬
try, Eure and Watkins were pres¬
ent and requested Mr. Brunson
not to open the church, and stat¬
ed that it was the desire of the
followers of Rev. Hurst that they
should not use the church and
they insisted on his not going in.
Nevertheless, Rev. Brunson, who
held a key, unlocked the door
!inc i we nt in, and the evidence was
that some one stated that they
would go and get a warrant and
have him arrested. Later, Mes.sis.
Eure, and Watkins entered the
church, and took part in the
services, voting against a motion
which was put atthe-close of the
services.
There was some evidence that
the license of Rev. Brunson had
been revoked. He denied that
this was legally done, and went
on-the stand in support of his po¬
sition. Rev. Hurst went on the
stand and made a statement in
support of the legality of the po¬
sition of his followers. After go¬
ing at length into the evidence,
and a fter listening to the argu¬
ments of counsel, the Judge
promptly discharged the
ants.

Decision Reversed in
Telephone Case.
r l he Supreme Court handed down
a decision Monday in which they
reversed the decision of Judge
U . N Spence in the case of the
I’owii of Pelham against Pelham
Telephone Company.
This case was carried to the
supreme court early in the year
and the decision has been expect¬
ed for several months. The full
text of the decision has not vet
been received, and therefore it is
not known how far reaching it
was. '
It will be remembered that the
litigation arose out of an order
passed by the city authorities
directing the Ideal telephone
company, which was then known
as the Drake Telephone Compa¬
ny, to move their poles along
Hand Avenue and. Mathewson.

An injunction was sought to
restrain the city from requiring
the removal of these poles, and
the injunction was in part grant¬
ed by Judge W. N. Spence. The
city denied that the telephone
company had any franchise for
the use of the streets, and the de¬
cision of Judge Spence is said
to have practically adjudicated
that the telephone people did
have a franchise by reason of the
fact that they had been allowed to
erect their poles and build their
system in the town without ob¬
jection

was carried to the Supreme Court
upon the petition of the town,
