Increased Business al the Publishing Houses

Much attention has recently been
called to the evident increase of busi-
ness Mt the large publishing houses Al
this city, and nothing can indicate it
more than the increase of matter sent
through the mail. Many items have
been published in this paper showing
how constantly this work has increased,
but the month of May was phenomenal
in this respect ana shows the greatest
increase of any corresponding period
in the entire history of the post office
in Augusta. In May. 1889. there Wer"
sent from our post office G&9, SOC lbs. Of
newspaper mail. or about 320 tons. in
the 26 working days Of the month. In
May of the present year this had in
creased to S15.16l lbs. or 43S tons, be
ms an increase of ,295 lbs, or lis
tons Of mail in just one month. making
over ~. tons a day increase. This in
crease is over So per cent, and these
figures are due TO the success Of these
publishing houses and most prove sat
isfactOry to our readers in this city.
We are told that the daily average
for the week ending May 26th eclipsed
all records at this post office, there
having been sent an aggregate of 9495
