POSTAL BUSINESS HAS
A HUMP ON IT
Another Clerk Probably Ad-
dGd in EARLY Fall

Application has been made to the
postal authorities at Washington for
an additional clerk in the Americas
Dostofilce. Postmaster Mitchell is quite
c7-ddent that the application will lie
GTaatcd and that with October the
force VIII be increased and put in bet
ter sh9pe to handle the rapidly in
creaslng Business of the office.
The business of the Office is devel-
.oirG rapidly. For the quarter end
trg October 1 it ic quite probable that
the tai sales Of stamps will reach,
if not rasS, So 600. When Captain
Mitchell hecame an attache of the Of
ice n his !ouIger days if the bust
ness OF the Office reached that amount
IN an entire year it was considered q
showing to be proud of. New hopes
are entertained that next year may see
the total well onto the $4,000 mark.
Recently the interior of the postof-
fee has been beautifed by the paint
ing OF the walls. The corridors have
been tinted a sage green, the offices a
straw color, greatly improving their
appearance.
The beauty Of the local postoffice is
commented on fayorably by visitors.
1t is regarded as rejecting credit upon
the city and is one Of the best adver-
tisements of the city.

GROSS ERROR OF CLERK
Was FOUND IN time
State Saved From Loss By
lDCOmpGtGDCy

It is just learned that the general
fertilizer bill, Of interest to every farm
er in Georgia, was also slaughtered
by the error Of a copying clerk Of the
house OF representatives, and was only
saved by the accidental chance that
fertilizer manufacturers, caught the
error and called it to the governors
attention before he had affixed his sig
nature to make it law beyond re-
call.
1t is an interesting fact that the er-
ror. if it had been allowed to Slip
through, would have given the fertjl-
izer people one of the points they had
contended for in vain.
The fertilizer bill as finally passed
provided that if the commercial yalIe
OF any fertilizer should fall more than
3 per cent below the guaranteed COM
mercial value Of such fertilizer, the
purchase could recover p per cent
Of the purchase price. etc
By clerical error the 3 per cent
was made 10 per cent. This error was
not detected, and the bill with the er-
ror in it was passed by the enrolling
committee and certified by the speak,
er Of the house.
By mere chance it happened that an
Atlanta fertilizer manufacturer, inter-
ested in the details Of the bill,
caught this error. The detail, of vital
Importance, would have taken away

PULASKI JUDGE WARNS UP
HOST OF BLIND TIGERS
Punishment Melted Out By
Judge Martin Recently

Hawkinsville, Ga, August 30.-Four
white men were sentenced to twelve
months in the changing without
fine for selling liquor by Judge J. H.
Martin here yesterday. In addition .
this penalty, they were also required
to serve six months in Jail or pay 4
fine of 500. The defendants were H.
J. McCOrvey, Ed Anderson, Jacob Leo
nard and Ben Burden. The two first
named are prominent citizens and
members of good families Cleveland
Kirkpatrick was also given an alter
native sentence of twelve months n
the changing or a fine of $3.50, len
iency being shown him because it was
shown that he had made only occa-
sional sales and had not engaged reg
ularly in the business. J. E. McNeal
also plead guilty on yesterday for the
same offense, but did not show up for
sentence this morning, being on bond.
J. E. Dixon and J. d. Gardner for the
second time forfeited bonds when cas-
es against them We're called for the
same otfense yesterday. They are Ill
three white merchants of Hartford, a
suburb of Hawkinsville. Liquor has
been sold pretty openly in this county
for a good while, and despite indict-
ments being found regularly at each
term of court. the defendants were
somehow never brought to trial in the
superior court, and complaints have
been loud on this account. judge
Martin some time ago announced from
the bench that he would put a chain
sang sentence on all who We're con-
yicted before him for this offense. and
gave fair warning to all who were en-
gagged in the business, but it seemed
to produce no effect. When the first
Iot the liquor cases were tried at this
term such a strong case was made out
that the balance Of the defendants
plead guilty, and the sentences of to-
day followed. 1t is believed that this
disposition Of the cases will deter 9th
iers from future violation of the law,
and Judge Martins course today is be-
ling generally approved.
