A Change in Letter Box Posts.

Yesterday WOrkmen commenced re
painting the posts supporting the
street letter boxes Of the postal scr
vice in this city. When these posts
were painted Il year ago, the bases of
all We're painted a blue black, while
the upper part was painted in color
to designate whether or not the box
was collected on the evening delivery,
as part of the boxes are not collected
later than the afternoon collection.
Under the colOrS then adopted. any
post with n red top showed that the
box was collected in the evening col
lection. while the green top showed
that such was not the case. Owing "a
the very poor wearing qualities Of
vermiliOn paint on iron, there will be
d change made, going into immediate
effect All the red tops will be re-
placed with emerald green, and where
under the old painting the upper part
Of the post was green. they will be
painted yellow: 50 that hereafter Ii
will be understood in Augusta, that
any street letter box post. the upper
part Of which is green, is collected
on the late delivery every night; tho
yellow upper half indicates that it is
not collected later than afternoon.

Relief Work in Porto
Rico.
How the Hurricane Sufferers
were Relieved.

The Relief work on the Island,
which is now nearly at an end, has
undoubtedly done great good, and
has been the means Of saving many
lives. AT the same time it must bs
admitted that it did not accomplish
all that was expected of it, nor was
as great benefit derived from it as its
promoters believed would be.
This was partly the fault Of the
benefisisries. And yet, they can
hardly be blamed for the feeling Of
encouragement which appeared to
overwhelm them after the hurricane
of August Sth, 1899.
To add to the trouble, there was
general misspprehensiOn of the pur
poses of the Government in cOnnsc.
ton with the relief work.
1t seemed to be presumed by the
sufferers from the cyclone that the
Government vas prepared to take
care of them, whereas all the Govern
msnt attempted to do was to help
them temporarily until they Were
able to take care of themselves, and
in addition to provide means, to a
certain extent, for their future sub
sistence.
To this end seed was provided,
but in many cases the planters,
feeling more keenly the immediate
pangs Of hunger, than the fear OF
future want, used the seed for feed.
Others, despairing of being able to
hiring again their plantations into a
condition where they could be prof.
tably cultivated, simply accepted tho
Government rations and did nothing
towards restoring their estates to
their former product raising capacity.
These instances, fortunately, were
rare, and as general rule the plan
ters and labOrers throughout the Is
land have profted by the relief which
has been so generously furnished by
the Government and people Of the
United States, and in short time
we may again expect to see this
divinely favored Island blosSom like
the rose and the estates and planta-
tions once more bring forth their
fruitful produce, according to the
season.
