NEGRO CARRIER OUT.

Springfield, Tenn, May 1.-THE pa
irons Of rural route No. from Spring
field are relieved at an order received
from the Postofice Department au-
thorizing the continuance Of the route
and providing that a white carrier
shall be appointed.
Much CONSERVATION was caused
about two weeks ago by the appoint
|ment of Negro, George Banks, to the
position. The people along the route
were indignant and said they would
receive no mail through him. All the
boxes were removed with the excep.
tion Of four, and the deliveries
amounted to only four or five pieces of
mail daily. AS there was lack of
patronage the department ordered the
discor tinuance of the route and the
Negro resigned :.
An effort was Rade to restore the
route, with the result that the first
order has been rescinded, the patrons
have rep aced their boxes and the mail
VII be delivered by a white carrier.
