business men OF Columbia the neces-
sity of mailing their letters for the
evening mail as early as possible. es-
pecially where they have a large num-
Der to mail. The records at the Of
fice show that an average of about
one hundred letters are mailed be-
tween two and three o'clock, four
hundred between three and four
O'Clock. and nine hundred between
four and four-fifty o'clock. For this
reason the mailing clerks have TO
