CROFT ON THE STAND.
He Made Statement Relative to
Letter Box Fasteners.

Washington. Feb. LIN his own be-
half Samuel A. Croft, the inventor of
the street letter box fastener, contracts
for the furnishing of which are alleged
TO have been improperly obtained, to-
day took the stand in the postal trials
and told how Lorenz in 1895 came for
ward with a proposition to work up
sentiment in favor of the fastener
among the postmasters of the country
The witness declared he never spoke
word to Machen about the fastener
other than to admit, in response to
question put by Machen at a public
test that it fitted too tightly.
Diller F. Croft said that should the
government see fit to purchase the
fasteners the Groffs now have on hand
they would pay to Lorenz his share of
the profits, in accordance with the
agreement made in 1895. The witness
said Machen compelled the Groffs to
reduce the price of the fasteners.

Anniversary of rural Free delivery

To-day is the anniversary of the es-
tablishing of the rural free delivery
routes out of Savannah. That they
have been all that was expected of
them is shown by the fact that up to
the end of January the amount of
business done for that month was ap-
proximately three times as great as
had been done during the first month
the routes were in operation. The in
crease is shown in all departments of
the business.
There are two of these routes, the
one reaching Isle of Hope and taking
in the settlements between Savannah
and that place, the other extending to
White Bluff, touching at the settle
ments in that vicinity and between
that place and Savannah.
