TWO DAYS OF MEETINGS.
Liberal Club of Fourth District VIII
Rally Tonight.

The Fourth District Liberal Club will
meeting promises to be one of the most
interesting of the campaign and will be
addressed by Hon. Walter G. Charlton
the recently retired chairman of the Coun-
ty Executive Committee
Mr.. Charlton's remarks are likely to be
of an interesting character 1t is known
that he considers that he has been at
tack without the warrant of his personal
candidacy for any office or any act of
partisanship on his part to justify or ex-
cluse 1t and his expressions of opinion,
therefore, are likely to be clear and to the
point,
Mr.. Hartridge will also be among the
speakers. AS the issues of the campaign
become more clear and better understood
they are exciting a more lively interest
and the later of the political meet
ings on both sides have been remarkab BILE
for the presence of citizens who do not
take the violent and partisan interest in
faotional politics that distinguishes those
who made up the overwhelming majorities
of the audiences that attended the earlier
meeangs. 1t is 10 these generally unbiased
citizens that the arguments are now be-
ing made.
Tomorrow night big rally of Mr.. o.
borne s friends and supporters VIII be
held at the Theater. Mr.. Osborne, judge
Twiggs, Col, Merritt w. Dixon and others
will keep the audience entertained. and
instructed upon the pending political is
sues. Mr.. Osborne is expected to meet
the issues raised by his opponents or by
events chat have recently transpired with
his accustomed frankness and tfirectness,
and there is 10 be no mincing Of words in
what he will have to say. In the mean
time he announces that he is going ahead
and preparing his case for presenta ton
to the State Executive Committee. More
affidavits, 1t is possible, win be offered in
evidence.
AT $50 O'Clock Tonight there will be a
meeting of the County Executive Com
mtttee at the Court House. 1t is prophe-
sled that there are to be material changes
made in the rules regulating the primary,
so as to give fair and adequate represen-
tation at each box. This, at least, Is the
understanding of the proposed changes
that is held by the majority members of
the committee but Mr.. Osbornes sup
porters are not willing to NbeHeve that
they will be given what they claim they
have right TO demand and respect, equal
representation on the board of managers
and on the Purging Committee, should one
be chosen. 1t is scarce likely that they
will be satisfied with anything less.

MAY REGISTER LIGHTERS AT HOME
New Wrinkle in Postal Service
which VIII BE Appreciated.

Which VIII BE Appreciated.
What may be termed the house-to- house
system of registering letters will be de-
servedly popular when it is more clearly
understood by the people. 1t is along the
lines CT progress, and is the natural Sc
qusnce of the free delivery system of the
postohice.
The old fashioned way of going~to the
postoffice for letter, or a newspaper or
a package from f.iend was not at all
suited to public convenience, and as the
letter box is a convenience for saving a
trip down town to mail a letter, the de-
livery of letters for reglstrating to the
carrier is also convenience; IL not only
saves the expense of car fare, and the
getting ready" for going down town to
r giser a letter. with oftentimes waiting
in ne for ones time for the big down
town business houses often take from five
TO fifty packages to the reg .stration win
dow, and fryt come first served. Then
there are the RAINY and windy days one
cannot go.
The decided advantages of the carrier
system of colecting registered letters for
the main office are that one can have. the
letter reaoy when the carrier gets around,
deliver it 10 him aud get receipt for 1t;
if out of postage stamps the carrier takes
the change for stamps and they are at
tachtd at the main office.
In the up-to-date live cities where the
system has been introduced 1t is becoming
very popular. and as Savannahians know
a good thing when they see IL, the chances
are decidedly in favor of its becoming de-
serveoly popular here. The only wonder
is that this progressive idea has been so
long behind the idea of the free delivery
and the street mail box systems.
The postal department will no doubt
continue this collection Of registered mat
ter from residential portions of the city
as long as it meets with the patronage
of the public Registering letters at home
cannot fail to be desirable.
