IMPROVE THE
SERVICE
Postomce Inspector Here In
vestigating Existing
Conditions.

Fred. Roege, an inspector of the
postoffice department, is in the city
for the purpose of investigating con-
ditions existing in the city. His visit
is with a view of improving the de-
livery service of the city, and if his

be a change in the present service.
Yesterday afternoon he went over
a portion of the city, and noted the
territory thickiy populated and the
condition of streets and sidewalks,
and it is expected that he will remain
here for week in order to obtain
full information regarding the de-
mands of the city, so that he can
make an intelligent and full report.
1t is stated that the desire is,
should conditions justify, to make
three deliveries each day, and also
to make a late collection from mail
bikes in the business section, in order
that mail may be collected and for
warded north which may be posted
as late as o'clock at night, thus
avoiding many vexatious delays.

It was the habit of the Rev. James
Spurgeon, grandfather Of the great
preacher of that name, to pray each
evening under certain oak tree in a
secluded wood In Honeywood park.
One night he dreamed, the story goes,
that Satan appeared and threatened
to tear him In pieces IL be followed his
accustomed route to the tree. There
was another path by which he might
go in safety. Remembering his dream,
Spurgeon felt sorely tempted the next
night to take the route In which Satan
was not. But this would be to capt.
ulate. Trembling in every limb, he
made his way by the path in which the
danger lay. He reached his goal In
safety and in prayer and song returned
thanks for delivery from peril. When
his prayer had ended he rose TO re-
turn. In his path lay piece Of solid
gold cas- large as curtain ring" All

shooting a Rabbit.

In Sullivan county there Is q man

released it. and was about to dispatch
It with the back Of his hand when it
occurred to him that he could not say
he shot it, as no shot marks would be
found to corroborate his story. So he
tied a string to one Of the hind legs Of
the rabbit, tied the other end to the
fence, backed away twenty yards and
fired The shot cut the string and

hPPOINT MENT
OF SENATORS
Eroward Notified that Adm
terirn Appointments Will
Not Be Recognized.

Washington, d. c., March S.-Sen.
ators Mallory and Taliaferro have ad.
dressed a joint letter to Coy. Brow
ard, calling his attention to the fact
that Senator Burroughs, chairman OF
the committee on privileges and cleo
lions, has requested them to invite
the governors attention to the pre-
sentation of the credentials of any
senator who has been appointed by a
governor when such appointment is
caused by the expiration of the term
of a senator, and the legislature has
not had an opportunity TO elect a sen
ator The letter is as follows:
United States Senate, Washing
ton, d. c., March q, 1907.-'GOv. n. b.
Broward, Tallahassee, Fla. Dear Sir:
In view of the approaching session OF
the legislature of Florida, we respect
fully beg leave to call your attention
to a matter which, we think, Is OF
some concern to the state, and which
it would be well to, submit to the con.
sideration of the legislature.
Section 2, of article III, of the con.
stitution of Florida, fixes the time for
the beginning of the regular biennial
session of the legislature as the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
April, whereby, at the expiration of
the term of each United States sen
ator from the state, hiatus or in
terval is produced in which one of
the seats in the United States senate.
which Florida is entitled to have oc-
eupied, is vacant,
In the case of each of the under
signed, both of whom were appointed
to fill the seats made vacant by the
expiration of their respective terms,
until the meeting of the legislature,
no objection was made to the appoint
ment by the governor, and each was
permitted to be seated
Since the last of these appoint
ments, the state of Georgia has
changed the date of meeting of her
legislature, in regular session, to some
day in June, and the presentation to
the senate of the appointment by
the governor of Georgia of Senator
Bacon to fill the vacancy caused by
the expiration of his term until the
legislature meets has caused the
chairman of the committee on privi-
leges and elections to notify us that
hereafter such appointees will not be
allowed to be seated, or have their
certificates of appointment fled This
means that hereafter on the expira-
ton of the, term of senator from
Florida, the seat vacated by-that SEN
ator viii remain vacant until his sue
cessor is elected by the Legislature
The chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, Senator
Burroughs, has requested us to in
vite your attention and that of the
legislature to this matter, because he
is satisfied that the expiration of a
senator's term de- not cause such a
vacancy as is Contemplated by para
graph 3, of section 5, of article /. of
the constitution of the United States.
and that if The point is raised in the
senate, that view will be sustained.
That such will be the action of the
senate We do not doubt.
