 GREAT INCREASE
FREE DELIVERY ASSURED
BUSINESS OF CONWAY POSTOF- FICE HAS WONDERFUL
 GROWTH RECENTLY.

With the receipts of the Conway postoffice for the fiscal year ending March 31, nearly $3,000 over the $10,000 mark, and average receipts for the past three years amounting to $11 ,922.60, Postmaster 0. J. Owen feels that free city delivery for Con- way is now practically a certainty and will be installed as soon as the postoffice department can take up the matter through the usual routine channels and install the service.
 The year in which the status Of United States postofiices is fixed and the salaries of the postmasters is de- termined ends March 31. If the re- ceipts for the year ending on that date are over S1 ,000 the town is put in the class of "presidential" post offices, called the third class, and it's postmaster is appointed by the presi- dent. If the years receipts exceed >s .000 the office moves Up D the sec ond class, and if the .a'eipts exceed S10, ,001 the city is entitled, by comply ing to certain provisions in regard to sI. ewalks and number ty of hoases, to free delivery of mai.

 For the year ending March u, 1910 the receipts of the Conway post office amounted to S12.744.46, as com pared with $8,S76.83 for the previous year. Postage on campaign literature mailed at Conway by Governor Dona- ghey was responsible for a consider able portion of the big increase, but Postmaster Owen states that, disre- earding this postage, the receipts would still be well over $10,000. The past years receipts will give Post master Owen a salary of S2,3O0 for the year beginning June 30, 1910.
 Some interesting figures on the growth of the Conway postoffice are shown by records in the possession of Postmaster Owen. Postoflice re- ceipts are universally regarded as an accurate index of the growth of town. Records at the loeal postoliice

extend back to 1888, when Col. 4. E. Witt was postmaster under President Cleveland. The office at that time had barely gotten into the ''presiden- tial' class, and the receipts for the year ending March 31, 1888, were S1,- 563.40. The postmaster's salary was S1 .000 and he was allowed $500 a year for clerk hire.
 Two years later, during the admin istration of Postmaster C. w. Cox under President Harrison, the re- ceipts had grown to $1 ,65329, but the salary and allowances remained the same.
 For the year ending March 31, 1896, when c. w. Chisler was serving as postmaster under appointment by President Cleveland, the receipts had increased to S2,888.56, and the post master was allowed $500 a ycar for a deputy.
 During the year ending March 31, 1900, J. P. Balmat was the postmas- ter under President Mckinley. The receipts for that year were $3,093.24, only slight gain in four years.
 The first year which the present postmaster served was the one ending March 31, 1905. That year the re- ceipts had increased to S5,448.7S Two years later they had grown to $6,- 383.39, and three years still later they also doubled the latter figures.
 While the amount paid into the To- cal pOstoffice has increased about eight-fold in 20 years, the amount dis tributed here in salaries by the post office del artment has grown in like proportion. Twenty years ago, as stated above, the total allowed for the service in Conway was $1, 300. For the ensuing fiscal year the amount paid out here in salaries will be $11,- PA, distributed as follows: Post masters salary, $2,300; deputy's sal aly, S1 ,000; three clerks at $500 each i $2,400; janitor, $144; six rural car. riers at $500 each, S5,400. The rent of the postofiice building will bring the total up very close to $12,000 leaving less than $1,0O0 year actual iy to be taken away from Conway { " the postoffice department.

Colonel John Delivers Lecture-Pris-
oner Escapes From Officers.

Montevallo, January S.--(Special.)--
Last night in the assembly hall of the
Alabama Girls Industrial school Col.
S. w. John of Birmingham gave very
interesting and instructive lecture on
the History of Alabama
He dwelt particularly on the early
Indian wars from 1912 to 1919, then on
through the years to 1854, touching
lightly on the war between the states.
He would not, however. have been true
TO his colors If he had not explained
to the girls why that war should be
called the war between the states"
and never the civil war" or war of
the rebellion"
One of the three negroes who broke
into the store of Davis & Jeter last
week was caught in Bessemer and de-
livered to the police here yesterday.
Because of the extreme cold weather
and for greater security of the pris-
oner, he was kept in a room over
Davis & Jeter's store and guarded by
the chief of police and two other men.
The guards went to sleep and the pris-
oner escaped about o'clock this morn
ing. OF course the guards are very
sore on the subject.

son, Frank, are dangerously i'll with

failure of the stock market to resume
with prornptness and unbroken stride the
onward and upward move which was
interrupted late last autumn. There is,
nevertheless, a continual investment OF

now on a low interest bearing level. The
speculative possibilities are commonly
believed to be in the stocks which are
working their way to stronger position

would have put vigor into the heart of

it rather as little more help given to the

for the fact that he gave away very
