Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1907-07-25


Postmaster Pitts and Assistant
Postmaster Kernagan called on the
Daily News yesterday afternoon to ad-
wise the paper of their intention to ask
for a postoffice inspector to investi-
gate the charges made in these col
umns during the past several days.
This is exactcly what the Daily
News had in mind when it started this
fight for better postoffice service in
Hattiesburg. And fair and impartial
inspection will verify every statement
that we have made.
Just here it is we'll enough to say,
however, that the Daily News will not
stand for "whitewashing.' The in
spector who gave the fiat of his ap-
proval to the recent postoffice removal
and who is understood to be a personal
friend of Postmaster Pitts, must not
make this examination.
The Daily News has asked the de-
partment at Washington to send a man
here, when all of the evidence now in
possession of the paper (including an
affidavit to the effect that clerk in

may leave them at the Daily News
office, where they will be used to the
best advantage.
Some of the complaints received
since the paper went to press yester-
day afternoon are given below:
The following letter from promi-
nent young man was received yester-
day afternoon, with the request that
the signature be withheld. The orig.
inal Is on file in the office, however,
among. the documentary evidence"
Editor Daily News: The following
is my complaint of the rotten post.
office service in Hattiesburg:" On the
morning of July 6. 1907, there came a
letter addressed to me, and on the
following Thursday (July III | re-
ceived postage due card in my box,
which have been renting for more
than year. know this letter came
on July for the reason that it bore
the receiving stamp OF the Hatties-
burg postoffice for that date.
Another complaint is that on Mon
day evening. July 8, about 4 o'clock

cAREtEssNEss LOST
HIM GOVERNMENT JOB.

Mr.. E. E. Everitt, residing at 521
Central avenue, made application to
the postoffice for a blank to enter the
examination for clerk-carrier. This
blank was carefully filed out and for
warded to the civil service commits
sion at Atlanta, and the assistant post.
master told the young man that in due
time he would receive a card notify
ing him of the time and place for the
examination. Mr.. Everitt rents hoy
No. 452 at the postoffice and called
daily for his mail. Not receiving the
card, he inquired at the general de-
livery window on the evening of July
IL when it was handed out to him to-
gether with several other pieces of
mail that ought to have been placed in
his box But the examination for
clerk-carrier had already been held.
hence the young man lost govern,
ment job. while the local postoffice
probably lost faithful and efficient
helper.

TWo-DoLLAR BILL
LOST IN THE MAILS


A prominent young business man
tells the Daily News this story: Last
year | came in from Sumrall on the
evening train and went out on the
northbound New Orleans and North
eastern. | owed small balance of 50
on board bill and as I did not have
time to call and settle it in person
dropped into the postoffice and asked
the clerk at the stamp window for a
two-dollar bill in exchange for silver.
In the presence of the clerk and other
witnesses, | placed this bill in an en-
veiope with a note of explanation and
mailed 1t to the lady, giving her full
name and street address, hurriedly
mailed it and caught my train. Six
months later, the lady sent me a bill
for the 81. ! was surprised, of course.
but made the. necessary explanation
and paid the amount"
Both parties to this incident live in
Hattiesburg and their names will be
furnished to the proper authorities.
The letter was handled by the Hatties-
burg postoffice exclusively, and the
loss of the letter and the embarrass-
ment which it occasioned may be at
tributed to the present careless man.
