XMAS RUSH ON
At POSTOFF|CE
Officials Do Not Expect Con-
geStion This Year, Despite
Heavy Business.

The most Christinasy place in Allan
ia today. barring the department stores
and the hearts OF children. is the big
stone building known as the Atlanta
postoffice. A spirit Of hustle, unusual
even for that busy place, IS in evidence
throughout the building, while the ap-
pearance of mail carriers as they stag
ger into the mailing rooms with great
sacks bulging with packages and let
tiers stamped with Red Cross seals
shows that something unusual is on
hand
But, IN spite of the hurry and tur-
MOL, the postott1ce never has been in
better position to handle the holiday
rush. and Assistant Postmaster Cole
believes that there will be no conges-
ton this year. New men are added to
each department as the rush warrants
the addition, and more than so substi-
tutes are waiting to help when the time
comes.
The money order department il one
of the busiest In the building From
morning until late at night a constant
line Of people stand in front. eager TO
either send money to relatives or
friends in other cities or countries or
to receive a little needed help from the
main eXchequer in some other city.
Surveyor Of Customs Markham is
surrounded with strange gifts from al
most every country In the world. and
his attempt to appraise their dutiable
value is bringing more gray hairs to
his head. Silks from China and India,
strange images, wonderful creations
in ivory from Africa, strange perfumes
from Japan-things he never has before
either seen or inagined--all go to make
him one OF the hardest worked men in
the government service during the hul-
days.

Massachnst It's Divided

Eostou, MaH The refusal of the
Repu blican delegates at large to
accept Colonel Roosevelt's decision
today that they should vote for
President Taft at the Chicago Com
vention, although elected as Roose-
welt delegates, has further compl'-
Gated the situation arising from
the state primaries yesterday. The
situation is acknowledged by party
leaders to be without parallel in
the history of the commonwealth.
Although the Republicans of the
state selected Taft as their can
didate for denomination by maj
ority of 1905 over Colonel Roose-
welt on the presidential pre- erence
ballot, at the same time they
elected by decisive vote the en-
tire slate of eight delegates a.
large pledged to the former pres:-
dent. Colonel Roosevelt secured
10 delegates in the district elections
and Taft carried nine districts,
so that Taft and Roosevelt each
have Is delegates from the state
to the national convention. In his
request to the delegates at large,
Colonel Roosevelt declared it his
wish to abide by the will of the PEG
pie, and that therefore the dele
gates though elected as pledged
to him, should vote for Taft, who
had received the presidential pre-
ference vote. One by one the
delegates, as they were heard from,
protested that under no circumstan3
would they cast their ballots other
than as they had been pledged, for
