GENERAL ISSUES RULES TO BE

Thirty-seven thousand disappoint-

This is an unenviable record, and
one which the postoffice department
does not want to see duplicated this
year. To warn the people. Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock has issued a
set of rules to govern the wrapping
and mailing of packages to be sent
at this season when the congestion

believes if these rules are needed
and his warnings observed. there will
be few disappointed intended recipi-

Observe These.
The Postmaster Generals rules
for proper use to avoid losses in the
mails are, briefly:
Prepay all packages. Packages
not prepaid will be held.
Give full address plainly written.

Register all valuable letters and

Special delivery letters or
packages can be obtained by using
special delivery stamps. If ordinary
stamps are used, mark special de-

limitations of postage stamps can
not be placed on either side of mail

"Registery stamps are not valid
for the payment of postage
Eight thousand of the 10000 pack
ages which went to the dead letter of

cause they were addressed to foreign
countries and did not bear sender S

by parcels post conventions. Ten
thousand parcels were mailed with
insufficient stamps. Three thous-

delivered because owing to deficiency
of address the person to whom sent

Movina-Pictare Lion HUNTING.

The inhabitants of Fontainebleau

SESSION OF CITY COURT
TO BEGIN ON MONDAY
Heavy Docket Of.Misdemean
or Cases There

Judge James A. HiXon will convene
the City Court of Americas in regular
session Monday next, and if even half
the number of cases appearing upon
the, docket are taken up a session of
three or four weeks seems assured.
The misdemeanor docket alone con-
tains nearly three hundred cases.
These include about every form Of
transgression in the category, from
whiskey selling and pistol Juggling up
to wife beating and other stunts Incl
dent to the season.
The celandar arranged for Monday
next includes lightweight cases which
if tried, will constitute a pretty good
days work even for Judge Hixon. who
has a reputation for despatching cases
of this kind. However, only small
proportion of the docket for that day
will probably be disposed of then.
When the 800 misdemeanor cases
are tried the civil docket, which also
constitutes pretty good list of cases,
will be taken up.

NAUSEAU IL TAKEN OUT
OF CH0LOROFORM
Ether Also Gives Up Its Worst
Trait.

New York, Jan. How ether and
choloroform can be administered with
out producing nausea and at the same
time the risk of death from anaesthet-
ic be greatly reduced, is to be ex-
planned in detail in a book soon to be
published by James T. Gwathmey and
DR.. Charles Baskerville The method
which in the first form, was devised by
DR.. Gwathmey, has been tried in about
5000 cases without a death caused by
the anaesthetic.
''Vapor anaesthesia" is what DR..
'Gwathmey calls the method What he
does is to force the vapor of ether or
Chloroform or a mixture of both
through warmed water before letting
the patient breathe it. The warmth of
the water causes the anassthetic, in,
stead of irritating the mucous lining
of the lungs and bronchial tubes by its
GOODNESS, to reach them at approx
mately blood heat The water itself
absorbs the poisonous aldehydes which
with the irritation caused by the chill,
have caused the nausea.

TRADE In AMERICUS IS
GOOD FOR The SEASON
Dealers Have No Complaint
of Dizziness

Americas merchants have no COM
plant to make of business following
the holiday season, for while the vol
ume is, of course, much diminished
now the steady stream of buyers who
have come back during the past week
or ten days have kept the volume of
trade well up to the average for early
January. Not a few of the larger
houses have recently put on special
sales, which always attract buyers To-
cally as well as from the county and
neighboring towns A visit to any
of the retail stores today will be d
revelation to one who believes that a
period OF dull times follows the Christ
mastide. Money, of course, is not so
much in evidence now as two or three
weeks ago, but the people still hava
some to spare when bargains are in
sight, Americas merchants are Opt
mistic, generally, and look forward to
an era of business prosperity for
the new year just entered upon.

SLOW PAYING UP WITH
THE CORPORATIONS

Atlanta, January Figures COM
piled in the state treasurers office
which will be made public tomorrow
or Wednesday, will show that the state
serYicec Operations and other sources
was several hundred thousand dollars
less than i'm 1910. This is not because
these has been any falling off in value
of Georgia corporation property
rather it has increased-bu the cor
porations have simply been slower
than usual in paying up.
As a corrolary of this fact, the re,
port will show that the treasury paid
out in 1911 about rs per cent. less on
teachers salaries than it paid in 1910.
that is % per cent. less in proportion
to the amounts due the teachers for
those respective years. In the year
Just closed the teachers receivtd in all
only about Al per cent. of what was
coming to them. In 1910 they receiv.

hopes to be able to pay them, however,

after all that is still owing on the
