WHEREBY THIS CONCESSION is

Postmaster C. l.. Elliot stated to
The News last night that arrange
ments had been completed whereby
mail would be distributed to the lock
boxes hereafter on Sunday.
Postmaster Elliot is to be highly
commended for his efforts in securing
to the citizens of Brunswick a con-
cession accorded only three other ci-
ties in the state, Savannah, Augusta
and Waycross.
When The News suggested editor
tally last week that some action be
taken in the matter our postmaster
was at the time in communication
with the postoffice department with
result announced today.
In a letter on the subject C. P,
Grandield, first assistant postmaster
general, says: presumably the pur-
pose of the law is to allow as many
as possible of the employees of post
offices a complete day of rest ~ sun
day" and again, IF, howeverYi it is
necessary to open the postoffice on
Sunday to receive and dispatch mails,
there seems to be no reason why mail
should not be distributed to boxes
In this connection Postmaster Eli
liot requests the public to bear with
the office and display as much pa
tience as possible as two clerks only
will be available each Sunday for the
work. All mail for lock boxes will be
distributed, however, and at the earl
lest possible moment.

The slightest untoward incident will
start general connagration, accord
ing to the prevailing opinion in Dip
lomatic circles here, and the great
powers might easily be drawn into
this.
From some of the European capf-
tails rerorts have reached here that
men have already crossed the from
tiers and begun fighting, but these
entirely lack confirmation.
1t is likely that the reports are
based on some of those clashes be-
tween frontier guards which have
been a daily occurrence in recent
months.
The only bright prospect in the sit
uation is that the Balkan states seem
inclined to give the great powers a
little more time in which to try to
induce Turkey to introduce The re-
forms demanded in Macedonia.
