postal needs. in one direction war
ranted the authorization. but in the
opposite direction did not-are dealt
with at length. Numerous protests
arose over the action of the depart
ment reducing certain lines to half
lines, and these led to the appont-
ment of commission to investigate
the whole subject. The Postmaster
General approved their recommend
ation that full pay be allowed for a
line Of forty-foot cars in all cases
where forty-foot car must be run
and returned.
The report called attention to the
fact that provision has been made
to transport additional weights of
mails from Valdez to Fairbanks,
Alaska. in the four mid-winter
months, so as to allow $4,000
pounds increase. The weights on
other main lines in Alaska also have
been augmented.
Efforts of the department to es-
tablish semi-weekly sailings between
New York and Porto Rico, it is
stated, failed, the steamship COM
ranies refusing to make any changes
in their practice of having sailings
only on Saturdays
During the year additional parcel
post conventions were negotiated
with the Netherlands, Uruguay
Italy, France and Austria. and the
parcel-post rate of twenty cents a
poundto Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and
Peru was reduced TO twelve cents
pound.

year handled 21,650,S49,745 pieces

that postal clerks be allowed travel

homes, and also that postal clerks
who have become unfit for active
service by reason of advanced age
or physical disability incurred in the
line Of duty be retired with suitable
pay.

CHALLENGE TO

HON. W. NJ. CAMERON FEELS

can Executive Committee by Hon. w.

Office of Democratic Executive Com-
mittee,
South Pittsburg, Tenn, Oct Ia, 1908.
Hon. F. NJ. Mccullough,
Chairman Republican Executive
Committee, Jasper, Tenn.
My dear Sir:
The people having been treated
through a series of letter writing, be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan
and are now being enlightened by our
gubernatorial candidates, Mr.. Tillman
and Mr. Patterson, and having been
entertained by challenge by the Hon.
Jno. T. Raulston and more highly en-
lightened by the answer of Judge Jno.
A. Moon, and the lengthy reply of
Mr.. Raulston, and that we are now to
have Nation, State and District ques-
tions ably discussed by the Hon. r.
L. Cameron of Oliver convention
fame, and at present the Republican
Elector of this District, and the Demo-
cratic Elector, the Hon. b. E. Tatum.
1t occurs to me that it is now up to us
to furnish the climax to this cam
paign, as representing our parties re-
spectively by series of joint debates.
Therefore, believing that all these less
CT lights have failed to arouse the in
terest and thoroughly define the plat
forms and principles of our parties re-
spectively, suggest that we relieve
the tension of our county partizans by
joint canvass. ] thoroughly realize
the great sacrifice that we would make
in the interest of the people, but it
seems to me that the occasion demands
this unselfish loyalty upon our part. |
therefore challenge you to a joint can
vas in all the larger cities of our coun-
ty. | will leave the dates and cities
to your own choosing An early reply
will be appreciated, as it will be use
less for us to begin this debate later
than November 4th, 1908.
Yours very truly,
