POST CARDS FLOOD THE MAILS
French PostOmce Finds Itself Unable
10 Properly Handle the
Little McmentOes

PARIS Sept. 16.-CSpecial Cablegram to
The Bee.)-Public complaints are loud
against the postoffice here, which is
accused of pursuing a skinfnt policy by
undermannlng its service and consequently
overworking its men, with the result that
masses OF correspondence are delayed and
that It is sometimes advisable when you
have a pressing letter for an address in
town to walk across Paris with It yourself
rather than confide 1t to the post That
there is some Just ground for criticism is
proved by the postmaster generals inten-
tion, announced at the last cabinet council.
OF applying 10 Parliament for additional
supplies in order TO increase his staff very
considerably. On the other hand, there is
something TO be said on the side OF the
postoffice. The picture card craze in par
ticular threatens to become a social danger.
The following case is said to be typical
during the summer season: From a micro
scopic seaside resort close to Boulogne with
a few hundred permanent inhabitants, actu-
ally 10000 picture post cards were sent out
in thirty days. The local postmistress was
at her wits end, and local half-penny
stamps gave out long before the demand
for postage for the cards ceased. Boulogne
could not spare her postmistress any
stamps. and consequently postage stamps
OF a higher denomination were used. What
the daily send-off OF picture cards from
places like Boulogne itself must be one can
hardly imagine Madame Hofer the can
tinIere who won $4,000 in the lottery, her
self is keeping the local postofice where
she resides busy. Her average OF letters,
nearly all OF them proposals OF marriage,
has now reached 1000 per day Most of
them are insuhiciently stamped. 1t is need
less to say that the cantiniere declines to
pay the additional postage and the love
letters fall into the hands of some fourth

 IMPORTANT OFFICE
HAS BEEN APPOINTED GENERAL SOUTHERN AGENT OF THREE BIG RAILRoADs-oFFlc ARE CREATED IN BIRMINGHAM.

". F. Greaves, general southern agent of the Big Four route, has been appointed general southern agent of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, the Lake Erie and Western and the New York Central lines
 The announcement to that effect was made yesterday when MT. Greaves re- turned from the north where he had been in conference with the traffic officials of these roads.
 The offices of Mir Greaves will con- tinue to be on the fourth floor Of the Woodward building. He will have several travelling freight agents, representing the various roads, whose headquarters will be in Birmingham and who will report to MT. Greaves The new offices which MT. Greaves will hold are created. and the three roads have never had general southern agent before. The action was taken by the roads as a result of the increased importance of the south as a tonnage producer. The headquarters were located in Birmingham for the reason that this city Is considered the center of the southern territory which produces the great tonnage.
 All three of the roads have increased their southern business to such an extent in the past two or three years that the officials thought that a southern agency had become a necessity MT. Greaves will report direct to the traffic officials of the three roads

DEPLORABLE TRAGEDY.
J. F. Steele Is Killed In Escambia and
 J. w. Jernigan Badly Hurt.

Brewton, September 90. Especial IA most deplorable tragedy occurred about four miles west of Brewton yesterday af- life and J. w. Jernigan sustained serious cuts on his left arm and hand. Jernigan was Steele's step-son, and from the best information obtanable it seems that bad blood had existed between them for some time It appears that yesterday afternoon Steele went to Jernigans field where he was at work and waited for him to reach the end of row when he (Steele) rushed at him with an open knife, striking at him. Jernigan received the blow on his left arm. When Steele struck at him the second time he caught the blade of the knife in his hand, receiving a bad cut and severng an artery. Jernigan then knocked Steele down and at the same time drew his knife, cutting Steele in the neck one or more times, the wounds producing death in a short time.
 Jernigan came to town for medical at tention and reported the tragedy, saving that he did not know at that time how badly Steele was hurt as he left him lying in the field
 Both parties are, natives of Escambia county and are widely connected and the occurrence Is deeply deplored by all.
 Wallace Stokes, the young man who was injured by an accident at the Love lace Bros blaming mill Tuesday after noon, continues in comatose condition, never having regained consciousness since the accident occurred.

 It Is with great regret that the people of Auburn note the defeat of local tax alton for schools in Lee county, one of the five counties in the state voting against it. The people of this community desire 1t to be known that the measure carried here with only one dissenting vote In the community, the total vote, includ- ing town and country, being 93 for and Il against the measure. There were only 1S7 adverse votes in the county outside of OpelilSa and Phenix City. the chief op- position in the county being in these two centers. the county site and the factory town.
