BIG BATCH OF MAIL
is SENT ON ROUTES.
Large Increase In Sumter's Rural
Service.
THE RECEIPTS HAVE DOUBLEI
Within Year Number Pieces Mail
Handled Increases From 9,O69 First
Month to IS, 79l Pieces For Month
Just Closed.

The great success attending the es-
tablishment of the rural free delivery
in Sumter county ID evidenced in a
statement given out yesterday by
Postmaster s. A. Smith, covering the
business for the first twelve months
just ended.
And the result is gratifying to the
departmentand public.
The free delivery service was estab-
lished December list. last year, and
during the first month the four car
riers handled 9, 069 pieces of mail mat
ter. This was considered very good.
But from the first the service proved
satisfactory, and business increased
with each succeeding month until it
has more than doubled in quantity.
For the month of November just end
ed the record shows 1871 pieces of
mall handled-a wonderful increase
within year.
But as the demand increased the
number of carriers had to be increased
accordingly, until now seven rural
routes are established here.
A very large portion of Sumter coun-
ty is now covered.
There are two other routes suggest
ed, however, the establishment oil
which would serve large number of
people. and this NAV be done.
While the service was, in a manner,
experimental in the beginning it's sue
ess is now established and Congress-
man Lewis, through whose indefati'
gable efforts it was secured, certainly
has the thanks of the entire people Of
Sumter for daily mail at their doors.
Within the first year of its establish.
ment 173. 928 pieces of mail matter were
handled, and this amount will be
doubled next year.

AMERICUS ASSURED
LIVELY CAMPAIGN,

BUT FOUR DAYS MORE TO WORK
Election Occurs on Tuesday Next
And Candidates Must Hustle-TwC
Aspirants For Clerks Place Are
Making Campaign.

Anyone who predicts dull time in
the municipal campaign now opening
up in earnest had better go away back
and sit down.
Americas has pull off campaigns that
were campaigns but for the strenuous,
fervid article with the name blown in

towards the council room.
With but two announcements, and
these for the Office of clerk, the cam
paign was about as full of interest as a
wet Sunday in Smithville, but the
situation was materially changed yes
terday.
Someone pulled the gong and the
boys are off in bunch.
And it is going to be one of the pref
test races ever witnessed. Not long
enough to wind the runners, but OF
sufficient length for the registered vo-
ter to get into the open and receive an
obeissnce from the other fellow who
wants to annex himself to a nice little
5000 Joliet.
This fact will cause O rush to pay
last years taxes and be numbered
among the anointed.
Nobody loves an alderman, and new
or was there one who wasn't ''cussed
at" for what he did or didn't do, bu
nevertheless patriotic citizens arr
there who will lay themselves upon thu
political altar.
And just now the rush for the ALTA
is likened unto the arrival of the daily
jug train in a prohibition town. There
are but three vacancies upon the alder
manic board, and it is said that there
will be at least eight feet footed ga
zelles to seek the haven of refuge.
And yet people go away from Ameri
Gus to seek diversion.
The primary election is billed tt
happen next Tuesday, 10th, and wha
is expected to happ9n in the mean
time will fill a box car. The smile o
the candidate opens upon you like

zen, linesl descendant of Auanias
