SUNDAY CLOSING
IS |NDORSED
PETITIONS SENT AWAY TODAY
THAT BEAR THE NAME OF
MANY BUSINESS CONCERNS.

Postmaster Douglas forwarded to-
day to the postmaster general at
Washington the petitions of the Ard
more people to have the postoffice
closed on Sundays. There were but
four men in the city who declined to
sign the petitions and two of those
said they had no objections to the Of
fee being closed but that they had
made a pledge never to sign peti-
ton of any kind.
Tax Assessor r. S. Hayden, after a
careful examination of the petitions,
said they represented 9S per cent of
all the business men of the city. The
board of city commissioners passed a
resolution favoring the Sunday clos
ing of the office; the trades council
representing all the branches of or
ganized labor in the city, made a sim
liar endorsement of the plan to give
the clerks the day of rest; every
church in the city by a unanimous
rising vote endorsed the idea of hav
ing the office closed on the Sabbath
Persons on the routes who have
their mail delivered have not been
canvassed, but they are represented
either by the business firms, the
churches or the labor unions.
Mr. Douglas. in sending in the pc
titions, made the request of the post
master general that the carriers be
given the privilege Of passing petit
tions among those who have their
mail delivered. Whether the request
will be granted or not is not known.
The petition already signed may be
deemed sufficient by the postmaster
general to justify him in making the
order. If he does not regard them as
being sufficient, he will without doubt,
grant the request to have the car
riers leave a card at every home to
be filled out and returned to the car
rier stating whether the individuals
agree to the closing or not.
The postmaster general is favorable
to the plan. It means the giving OF
thousands of young men and young
women the use of the Sabbath day for
attending church and for recreation.
The day has been set apart in the
Bible for religious worship, it has been
set apart by the laws of our country
as a day of rest, and as the world
grows better the day is more general
ly observed.
With reference to the local office
the suspension of mail deliveries on
the Sabbath will give the day to four
teen clerks to spend in religious wor-
ship or to spend in pleasant recrea-
ton that fits them better for the work
of the next week. 1t gives the nerves
q day for restoration and is a matter
Of great economy in the social and bus
mess life of the nation.

RANDOL HOTEL PROPERTY.

The New Randol Hotel has chang
ed proprietors. w. p. Hatchett has

in Improvements. The hotel has
now sixty furnished rooms, every
room has hot and cold water, elec.
tricity and natural gas and the ma
ority of the rooms have private
baths.
Mr.. Randol when seen about the
matter said: Yes, it's about fishing
time, and | am getting too well along
in years now to let the management
of hotel keep me away from the
creek. l shall retire from active bus
mess of any kind. | have enjoyed
good business and am turning
over one of the best paying propo-
sitions in Ardmore'
Mr.. Hatchett is formerly of West
Palm Beach, Fla He is a hotel man
of experience, a man of wealth, and
Mr.. Randol says he is a man who
will always do just little more than
he promises, instead OF falling short
of his obligations. Ardmore will je
glad to welcome Mr.. Hatchett as
citizen of the town.
