SENDING OUT THE MAILS.
The First Southbound Local Mails
in Three DAYS.

The First Southbound Local Mails
in Three DAYS.
Postal Superintendent Terrell, of this
division, came down yesterday from At
lanta, by way OF Augusta, to straighten
out the delayed mails. They were, how
ever, all got off in the morning. Mr..
Green, the chief mailing clerk in the post
office, said that the accumulated mail mat
ter for three days was very heavy. Not a
newspaper had been sent out along the line
of the Savannah, Florida and Western
for local offices since Tuesday. The news
boys on the trains made good thing out
of the tie up of route agents. AS much
as SOC. was demanded and paid tor a
single copy of the MORNING NEWS at
several places between Savannah and
Jacksonville.
Mr.. Terrell stated that the delay
was unavoidable. Two trains were
tied up at RavenePs and two
more between Florence and Charles
ton. The postal crews of these four
trains we're unable to get through. Thirty
route agents were cut of in Charleston.
The most of them had families to look
after. On Thursday telegram was sent
ordering them to report for duty yester-
day morning. Nearly all of the men had
their families out In the streets, but they
left them and TOOK out the mails yester-
day. One agent left wife and seven
children in the street, their home having
been wrecked.
The Superintendent said that the men
deserved great credit. The Superintend-
ent stated that the postal force on the
South aud North-bound mail is too small
and will probably be increased. He spoke
of the force In the Savannah poet office as

GreW VerV Dim.

Mrs. John McAvoy. living at No. 1916
Twentyfourth street south, Minneapolis,
said to the writer: For about year past
| have had serious trouble with my eve
sight. My left eye began to get inhamed.
and the sight from the eve gradually grew
dim. | went to an optcan then to get
glasses, but glasses did me no good. My
eye panied me very much when brought
too near to any light, and the dimness
seemed to increase very fast. / began to
have pain in the eye which extended over
the whole side of my face. This pain was
the most severe at night. and would often
keep me awake all night. 1t was terrible
to bear. My eye was red and infamed
and much of the time tears would run from
it. l was treated by two or three doctors
but the dimnesS of my sight seemed to in
crease rather than diminish. 1t grew So
bad that with that eye l could not see faces
before me. or the objects in the room.
Finally it got so that. holding my right
hand before my face could not count the
fingers upon it. Two weeks ago | went to
Dr. Mccoy. He told me that my trouble
was IritiS. He used solution of some
kind upon my eye and gave me some medi-
cine. In few days the inflammation and
the pain left my eye and my face NV
sight came back to me gradually. and now
it is restored entirely. l can see as well as
l ever could"

A Very LOW Rafe.

There is some talk in railroad circles
about a secOnd-class rate that is being made
to excursiOnists from St. Paul to New York
by the Rock Island road. 1t is reported
that through contract with Emigration
Agent johnson. these eXcurSiOnists. bound
for the old country via the Thingvala line,
are set down in New York for S14. A rate
OF So over the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road is charged them between this city and
Chicago. and the Grand Trunk takes them
from Chicago to New York for 50 head,
thus making combination rate of S14,
which is S12 less than the regular second
class tariff. This is said to be another case
OF contract and is perfectly legitimate. A
few nights ago, it is claimed. the Rock
Island road took out 200 excursionists at
this rate

oils & Manitoba Railroad company:
Occasional complaints reach this Office tn at
wheat buyers are, at some stations, making
added, leave an unreasonable charge for the
80 vice performed by them. You are ADVISED
that the elevator companies along our lines
guarantee to make their receipts good at
Minneapolis or Duluth for the same quality
and quantity of grain their ticket calls for,
given at the various elevators along the line.
This enables any one delivering wheat TO sell
his ticket and get the same grade and same
weight at Duluth or Minneapolis, less the
freight and advertised rates for handing and
selling. Elevators are required also 10 re-
ceive and ship grain for any party desiring
them to do so at their usual advertised rates
for handling. Where elevator companies or
individuals having elevators or warehouses
on this companYs property refuse TO GO this,
or where they refuse to guarantee grades as
above indicated, agents will promptly report
the same to this office by wire. giving the
name of the company or individual SO re-
fuSing. Agents will keep this circular posted
in q conspicuous place at their station for the
information of the public. If comp laints are
made 10 any agent that buyers are exacting
too great difference between the price paid
in the country and the quotations at Mime
apolis or Duluth this Office should at once be
advised with the prices paid for each grade
at the station on the daF when complaint is
made. A. MANNEL, General Manager.

the last two or three years l have suffered
considerably from colds which generally
settled in my head and caused pain over

the back part of my throat when l lay
down. had tired. languid feeling and
was often dull and drOwsy. Nv nose was
so stopped up that had to breathe through
my mouth and l found that [ had the

'On the least exposure" Mr.. Meter con-
tinued. Il would catch fresh cold, and
then | would have pain in my forehead so
severe as to affect my eyes"
About two months ago." he added, Il
read in the papers about DIR. McCOy's cur
ing of catarrh people whom ] had known
for years. l immediately consulted him
and placed myself under his treatment. In a

better. | continued to improve right along,
until now can say that l am completely
cured"

have lost its taste. l would be sick at my
stomach after my meals. and at times dur
the day | would be attacked by sudden
feelings of dizziness. There was a con-
tinual roaring and buzzing sound in my
ears aud pain in my forehead. For six
weeks, during the past summer. [ was sick
abed all the time. / had doctored with one
physician six months, but seemed to be get
ting worse all the time Well, about two
months ago l went to DR.. Mccoy. He told
me that my dependency and weakness was
due to chronic catarrh of the head and
stomach. L went under his treatment and
began TO get stronger right away. l was
soon able to work as usual, and felt hearty
and healthy. To-day can't see about my
self a single trace of the disease which
made life burden to me for twelve years.
