STRENUOUS LIFE OF
The POSTAL CLERK
Works at High Pressure sos
Days in the Year
MAILS KNOW NO HOLIDAYS
Swiftness, Absolute Accuracy, and a
Long Memory Essenuais-Small Pay
and Long Hours the RewaTd-In q
Year May Earn $500.

The postoffice is the great Govern
ment institution that touches every ele-
ment OF society. The most prominent
role Of the successful management OF al
fairs OF this great commercial institu-
zion is played by the postoGiee clerk
Who tolls away in the inner reccsses o.
the postoffce building. Few people
know how mUcn work he does.
A clerk does not come into tn service
without having first passed q rigid phys
zeal and mental examination, and then
he only enters as q substitute on pro
baton which covers q period of SIX
months Il al the end of that time he
has proved capable OF performing the
various tasks assigned to hiE, he is ae-
cepted as a permanent substitute He
then stands q chance Of being appointed
a regular clerk in a year or two, or Us
soon as d vacancy may occur. After ne
! is appointed he must memorize what are
known as State or city schemes, consist
ing OF from 2.GC6 TO 5.OG6 names or mum
bers- On this ne must be able 90 pass
an examination OF % per cent
Distributing the Mails
It is in the work OF distributing the
mails that the postofice clerk earns the
! distinction OF being the brains" OF the
/ service. IN the city division he knows
each carrier and the limits OF his route;
he knows the location o. .he business
firms and at glance he can tel where
/ a letter goes In the mailing division
( ne knows every town in a State or sew
eral States. and on what railway it IS
. located. together with all train times.
/ and many other facts
The mind of postofice clerk is q
|storehouse. where facts are piled up and
/ held il reserve for instant use. The
men who handle the thousands Of
/ pounds OF mail that pour through the
Washington city postoffice every day 10
not rely on books and written memo
rznda for the Information that makes u
/ possible 10 send letters huTTying TO all
parts Of the world L they did they
would IN all probability be buried il
their tracks under heavily loaded mail
sacks
Needs a Strong Memory.
Next to correctness. speed is the
most necessary qualification OF clerk
in the postal service. and IN order to be
speedy he must memorize the thousand
and one monotonous facts that enter
into The daily routine Of his life. That
is why the life Of the postal clerk is so
! strenuous
The salary OF postomce clerk does
not average more than S15 a month dur
ing his -'subbing' time. Then he may be
/ appointed a regular clerk at q salary OF
$500 a year At that salary ne works
every day in the year, including Sun
days and holidays, for there is no such
thing as q day Of entire rest in the post

TOO MANY DRY COUNTIES.
Drought Has Greatly Injured Crops
in Many Georgia Counties.

in Many Georgia Counties.
Atlanta, July 29-Following is the
general crop review for Georgia:
The temperature averaged about
normal during the week. Generally
dry weather, broken only by occasion
al light showers, continued in numer-
Gus northern and middle counties
Moderate to copious rains fell in many
of the southern counties and in scat
tered sections of Middle Georgia. These
rains were timely and resulted bene-
1icially to crops.
The situation is rather serious in the
drought districts, where crops are
practically at a standstill, owing to
lack of moisture; the prospects for up
land cotton are poor; cotton has failed,
is blooming to top, young bolls are
dropping and plants are making little
or no growth In the sections where
rain fell, the general outlook for cot
ton continues promising; the plants
made good growth during the week,
are fruiting heavily and bolls are open
ing in some fields. Complaints of she'd
ding are made in a few localities,and IN
some fields plants are dying at the UP,
but these conditions are not universal
In numerous counties the crop at this
time is regarded as excellent.
Fodder pulling is in active progress
in numerous southern and middle
counties. Low land cotton promises to
be a good crop. Late forage crops
have been injured slightly by dry
weather, and forage sowing on stub
bles is not completed in some of the
northwestern counties, owing TO the
drought. Minor crops. such as
rice, sugar cane, sweet potatoes and
peanuts are doing well as a rule. Pas
lures have failed in many of the north
ern counties, water courses are drying
and stock is suffering. Gardens have
been greatly injured in practically all
sections; many early gardens have
been abandoned, but preparations are
being made for fall garden planting.
Grapes indicate a good yield, but APP
pies are poor. Late peaches are al

Valdosta, Ca, July 29.-The outlook
is that there is going to be a telephone
war in this city between the Bell Com
pany and the Georgia Telephone Com
pany, which owns the local exchange
1t was runored some time ago that
the Georgia Company had sold out to
the Bell people, but 1t is announced
now that the deal was not consum-
mated.
IN the meantime the Bell people are
putting hugs poles, with many arms
upon them, all over the city, though
they state that they are only planning
to put in few pay-statfons for their
long distance line. 1t is also known
that they have fifty miles of wire in
the depot here. with other equipment
for local exchange.
The people here are anxious for the
best possible telephone service, but
they are not anxious for two separate
lines. That would necessitate two diff
ferent phones in almost every house
where any sort of service is desired.

it was his opinion that the old lines of

Tillman had been obliterated.
Il have gained more friends than /

Atlanta. July 29.-The prison COM
mission has just finished a second in
spection of the coal mines at Coal
City owned by the Georgia Iron and
Coal Company of Atlanta, through min
ing expert r. p. Clute of Tennessee
Sometime ago Mr.. Clute inspected all
the mines and reported them deficient
in drainage and ventilation. This was
particularly true of the mines at Coal
City. The prison commission gave the
mine owners ninety days in which to
improve their mines. At the end of
that time, learning of considerable
sickness at Coal City, the second in
spection was ordered and the mine
owners were told the convicts would
be removed if the conditions were
not complied with. The expert finds
that the conditions have been consid-
erably improved. but are not yet what
they ought to be. The company has
been given thirty days in which to
comply with the conditions, or lose it's
