The barbarians of Spring Garden
Postofice, Alabama, are too much for
even Postmaster General Key. The
Postmaster there resisted arrest for vic
lating the laws, and the people having
turned in with him and gone to prose
cutting the agent, the Postmaster Cen
eral ordered the Office discontinued.
This is about all Mr.. Key could do, but
the idea Of Furnishing such a communi'
ty by depliving them of postal facaili-
ties is rather amusing. Probably not
over a dozen of the community can
read, and the wonder is why such a
thing as a mail route was ever estab-
lished there. A somewhat similar
state of things exists at a place called
Waterproof, La, The effort to tame
these long-haired d~irt-eaters May as
well be abandoned. They can apprc-
ciate nothing but a drubbing.
