POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

u
Referring to your personal call
and inquiry at this Office, regard
ing the service on route No.
1905, Baltimore, Md, to Free
port, Va, have to say that, on
the 18th instant, an order was
issued directing that this service
be Curtailed to end at Ree;lville.
emitting that portion between
Reedville and Freeport, from
Jan. u, 1908. This was done in
pursuance of the recommendation
OF an agent of the Department,
who under instructions from this
Office, recently went over the
route for the purpose of making
careful investigation, in order
that the Department might be
able to accurately determine
what postal benefit was being de-
rived from the service.
1t has been shown that the
service is particularly valuable
only for the supply of the post
office at Reedville. and, incident
ally, Offices between that point
a Id Baltimore.
ReedVille, doing a postal busi-
ness of $685. 90 per annum, is the
only place of real Importance
served. The average postal bus
mess tran: acted at each of the
SIX offices now served by route
No. 1905 is $2I6.S3 per annum
while at the fourteen Offices be-
low Reedville the average bust
ness transacted at each amount
to only $1,000 a year.
For the greater part of the
year the service below Reedville
was only twice week, and when
the steamers were running four
times week as tar as Fitchetts
a number Of the offices were not
supplied by one of the boats and
received only twice a week sup
ply by the other. so that, in the
case of every Offices, except twice
1t was necessary for the Depart
ment TO maintain star route SER
vice, in addition to that provided
by the steamers. for their proper
supply. The offices not having
other supply were Chase Wharf
and Warehouse, the former
transacting a postal business of
SID 90 and the latter $1,000 per
annum.
Of 1914 pieces of mail handled
on the steamer leaving Baltimore
July Is and leaving Freeport
July Is. 1907. considerably less
than half the 900 Iieces handled
on the downward trip was for
Byrdton or Offices beyond that
point, while less than one-third |
of the 5o4 pieces handled on the
-eturn trip was from those offices.
Thisis due to the fact that the
erritory is supplied by star SER
nee connecting with other steam
boats service through the same
'icinity.
After most careful considera-
ion of all the factG presented,
his Office was forced to believe
hat the actual postal benefits
erived from the service between
Seedville and Freeport. did not
] any measure justify its cost, {
I.530.64 per annum.

Editor Mathews Journal:
/ most heartily endorse the
suggestions OF your editorial of
last week in reference TO instruct
ing our delegates to the next
ID emocratic National Convention
for Mr.. Bryan. and hope that the
Democrats of Mathews will take
the lead and have her delegates
TO the Richmond Convention di-
Fected tc unite with the delegates
from the other counties in in
structing our State delegation to
cast the vote of the State for
Mr.. Bryan as long as his name
should be before the Convention.
sec the Richmond Dispatch,
which deserted Mr.. Bryan when
he was last nominated, and sup
ported the Palmer-Buckner
fraud. and which was in favor Of
anybody against Mr.. BRYAN in
the last De nocratic Convention,
and perhaps more responsible
than any other agency in Vir-
ginia In putting upon US our late
2" cold storage candidate" as so
aptlY dubbed by you in one of
YOUR recent articles, has already
raised the cry Of no iustruc-
tions" for the delegates from Vir-
ginia. which really means in
Structin0 for anybody against
.Hr. Bryan.
The recent article published in
the cditoral columns of that paper
from the pen of Prof. Latane,
who threatens another Palmer
Buckncr bolt in event of the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan ut
Denver. shows the animus of that
paper toward Mr.. Bryan still,
and encourages the boiling and
bulldozing elementin oSv-ra6Es.

filled with just such flimsy .effu-
sions as that of Prof. Lataue, or
perhaps worse. trying TO stem
the tide it sees is flowing from

of Mr.. Bryan's nomination.
hope that the, country press.
which is i ALWAYS nearest and
truest to the people. will join
with you and see to it that the
delegates who. shall represent Us
in our National Convention Shall
not only, be Instructed to vote for
Mr.. Bryan. but shall be enthu-
siastic supporters of his. The
great masses of the people be-
lIeve in him. aud want no other
man for President but him.
He is ALWAYS frank and candid
in expressing his views on all
questions involving the welfare
of the people. and brave and
courageous in maintaining these
views. That he is great states
man. all unprejudic>d and intelli-
gent people will admit, and his
patriotism none will deny.
He has the respect and the ad-
miration, not only Of the people
OF this county. bot of the round,
wide world. and should he be
elevated to the Chief Magistry of
this nation, his personal purity
and high and lofty character will
all men with confidence
in the justice and righteousness
OF hrs rule. Citizen.
