Several of our Summerton subscribers
complain to Us that 1t is very difficult to
get their mail from that Office. 1t opens at
10 o'clock, and closes at O'Clock. This IN
our judgment is a very poor arrangement,
and we respectfully suggest to the post
Office department that from to 6, with one
OK two hours noon, would be better hours.
Summerton is an important post otnee, and
ought to be more accommodating.
We have had numerous complaints Of
late about not getting the Tines on time,
and some complaints about not getting 1t
at all. Although Foreston is distant only
nine miles. yet for the last three weeks
there has been delay of from fourteen to
forty-eight hours, last week the paper
reaching that place forty-elght honrs late.
The fault is not in the TINES Office, or IN
the Manning post Office. In this last case,
it was the fault Of the railroad mail agent.
The matter has been reported to Washing.
ton, and It is hoped there will be change.
Our subscribers will confer o favor by
promptly notifying Us Of any failure to get
$hei- paper promptly.
