MORE LINES OF MAIL
LEAD OUT OF CITY,
Will Increase Mail Service
Here.
A SPECIAL AGENT IN AMERIcUs
Planning For an Extension of the Ru-
raj Delivery Service in Third Con-
gressional District MrLewis Active
in Getting Service.

While rural mail routes already radl-
ate from AmerIcus to nearly every sec
ton of Sumter county, this valued ser
vice is to be increased b. the addition
Of at least cne more route, and rossi
bly, several more, if it can lie shown
that the service demands this increase.
SPECIAL Agent ". B. Brannon, Of
the mail service, is here from Wash
ington now with that purpose in view.
Aud already another route in the vi
c Dily of Leslie has been considered,
and if it can be shown that still another
line in Sumter is actually net ded we
may get that as well.
Congressman e B. Lewis, who is
ever on the alert to get for the people
Of this dis riot whatever they need,
had Special Ageat Brannon sent to
the sever al couotIes of he Third dis-
trict for the purpose Of a .certaiDing
the It qarements Of the people in the
way of better delivery service.
And already Inspector F annon has
found need Of additional routes.
Webster county first received his
attention, and Webster is gong to get
whatever she may need in the way of
improved mail facilities.
Inspector Brannou has likewise been
through Stewart county, and after in
spechog the service out of Americas
he will go to Lee and Schley counties
to establish NAL routes. Congress
man Lewis wants more free delivery
routes in every c)nnfy where they
are actually needed.
Mr.. Lev s has done more, perhaps,
than any other Georgia mem Der in the
| establishment of the rural mail ser
vice in his disiric, and the people al
precjate his interchangeable ef1 ,rts TO the
end of giving them daily mail.

The big Seaboard Railway engine,
