Third Assistant Postmaster General.

The blank which the above letter
asked should be filled out called for
statement of total number printed, to-
tai number mailed and total number of
those who owed for year or more.
We have been printing $500 copies
of each issue. Of these the bulk are
paid in advance and an examination of
the mailing list showed that only 118
owed for as much as a year.
1t is doubtful if any paper in the
State could have made such a clean
showing. 4 The statement, duly sworn
to, together with the printed proof
sheets of the mailing lists, was taken
in person by the editor of The Journal
and Courier to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General in Washington City
who commented most cordially on the
splendid showing.
A similar call for statement had been
sent to the papers generally over the
country. We were glad to respond
promptly. We are proud of our circu-
lation on account of its size and proud
of the fact that it is so we'll paid up,
for it shows the people appreciate the
old Marietta Journal.
Those subscribers who allow their
subscriptions to get year behind must
not blame US if the paper is stopped.
We are under the eye of Uncle Sam.
He will get after us with a sharp stick
if we do not track the law.
We have shown you what the law is.
Don't let Uncle Sam cut you off
Now is the time to renew.
Look at your label. If you are be-
hind let us hear from you. If there is
any error in your date write us and we
will correct it. If you are cut off send
us dollar and stay in the old Journal
family.

PosToFFIcE DEPARTMENT

PoSToFFICE DEPARTMENT,
Third Assistant Postmaster General,
Washington.
Publisher of The Journal and Courier,
Marietta, Ga Sir: Your attention is
invited to amended paragraph 8, section
436, of the Postal Laws and Regula-
tons, appearing in the December, 1911,
Postal Guide, reading as follows:
''The right of publishers to extend in
good faith credit on subscriptions is re-
cognized and will not be abridged, and
although all subscriptions are regarded
as expiring with the period for which
they were obtained, nevertheless, in or
der to give an opportunity to secure re-
newals, copies of their publications will
be accepted for mailing as to subscri-
bers at the usual second-class rates of
postage for period of one year from
the date of expiration; but copies sent
to persons after one year from the date
of the expiration of their subscriptions,
unless such subscriptions be expressly
renewed for definite time, together
with an actual payment of subscription
or bona fide promise of payment, will
not be accepted at the pound rate, but
will be accepted at the transient second
class rate of one cent for each four
ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by
stamps affixed.
The purpose of this regulation is to
give publishers unreasonable opportunity
to secure renewals of subscriptions,
and at the same time relieve the postal
service of the burden of carrying copies
of publications as to subscribers at
the usual second-class rates of postage
to persons who are not such in fact.
In order that the Department may
ascertain whether the regulation is
being uniformly complied with, you are
requested to furnish, with regard to
the circulation of the next issue of your
publication the information asked on
the reverse side of this sheet, sending
it under cover of the inclosed official
envelope, which requires no postage.
Respectfully,
JAMES j. BRITT,
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
