In announcing the candidates
for Justice of the Peace last week
the Journal did not mention Mr.

The Postoffice will Not Be
Moved.
The City was notified Monday
bj the First Assistant Postmas¬
ter General of the acceptance of
the proposition some time ago
for a renewal of the lease of the
present postoffice quarters,
This means that the postoffice
will not be moved from its pres¬
ent site. The proposition sub¬
mitted by the city included ad¬
ditional space for the employes
and cariers and some additions
to their equipment in the way of
electric lights, water, additional
furniture etc.
There will also be installed a
series of new boxes for the ac¬
commodation of the patrons if the
inspector demands it. The sum
to be expended in these improve¬
ments is limited and it is left to
the inspector to say what new
equipment shall be bought.
Some time ago there was talk
of moving the postoffice to
Mafchewson Street and eeveral
jiip paitiqqa we re submitted. The
beginiiig to'think tney w u
take no further notice of the
matter and the city was contem¬
plating going ahead with some
improvements on its own hook.
The postoffice inspector is ex¬
pected in Pelham before many
djays and will outline the changes

Pensioners’ and Teachers’
Pay Delayed.
Announcement comes from the
capital that there will be no
money in the State treasury with
which to pay off teachers or pen¬
sioners before December or
January.
The chairman of the Board of
Trustees called on County School
Commissioner J. H. Powell several
days ago and was informed that,
although he had been able to pay
teachers nothing this fall, the ad¬
vices he had received from the
State School Commissioner were
that it would probably be January
before any money would be re¬
ceived.
Pension Commissioner J. W.
Lindsey has issued the following
circular letter to the ordinaries of
the State:
“Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 16, 1908.—
Judge Ordinary—-My Dear Sir:
This department is all checked up
and ready to pay the fourth quar¬
ter pensions, but I am advised
that the State has nqt the money
to make the payment.
“Say to the pensioner*
pUMS&tts vote
available. '
“With best wishes, I am 1
“Your friend,
“J. W. LINDSEY,
“Commissioner of Pensions.”
The failure of the State to meet
these obligations is working much
hardship, and if no payment is re¬
ceived before Christmas it will be
a great disappointment and work
hardship on thousands of teach¬
ers and pensioners.
