Our subscribers on the line of the
Florida Southern have called for an
investigation into the delays of mail
and more especially of THE News.
That a package should never be
opened before passing the office to
which it is directed. is neglect
which cannot be tolerated. The
explanation at the Palatka office
was full and satisfactory, that of
the route agent we now put before
our readers. The proper authori-
ties should look into the matter, and
locate the fault; we cannot allow
such neglect in Difference to our
own interest and that of the public,
and shall use our best efforts to
have the matter righted.
