of Springneld Tenn. The patrons Of
the route did not desire to have a negro
deliver their mail. so they took down
their boxes. When this was ucEc the
fact was reported to the department.,
an Inspector was sent down, and The
route was discontinued.
A few days ago the Fourth Assistant
Fostmaster-Gen received a petit
lion, signed by probably all the
patrons. asking that the route bo re-
established. The negro carrier. a man
named Gates. had resigned, and there
was no more fear that a man OF c0lor
would be appointed. Mr.. De Graw,
the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral, in accepting the petition, stated
that action on it would he hastened as
much as possible, and he thought it
would be granted The negro Gates

for appointment to the position Of
carrier again.
Action has not been taken on the
appointment. IT Is not believed the
department desires to go through the
farce of reappolnting Gates, since TO
do so would mean the disconlinuance
