WASHINGTON. - Two Georgians
have Just been awarded promotions
in the postoffice department. The
announcement that j. K, Pickett, OF
Dawson, Ca, had been made chief
clerk to the fourth assistant postmas-
ter general follows closely upon the
promotion of VIM. l. Deming, of Girls
woldville, Ga, to be chief clerk of
the department, which places him at
the head of the civil service list and
Immediately next to the postmaster
general.
Mr.. Pickett entered the postal SER
vice in 1895 as a stenographer in the
office of the second assistant post
master general. He advanced
through the several grades of the
contract division, and was clerk in
charge of the Pennsylvania-Oh sec
ton when the star route service was
consolidated with the rural delivery
service and placed under the control
of the fourth assistant postmaster
general. From chief clerk of the sup
ply division he became chief clerk
of the division of equipment.
Postmaster General BurlesOn has
utilized Mr.. Pickett's knowledge of
postal conditions very largely during
the last two years in his endeavor to
promote economy and efficiency in the
department. He was assigned to the
task of reconstructing methods in
many of the largest cite in the
country.

LINER ASHORE, WORKS OFF
UNAIDED IN HOUR

The steamer ManitOu with 275 pas
sengers and a crew of 95 aboard went
aground in the fog off Wilson beach
this morning. It freed itself after
an hours work.
Seamen say that we're the Mani
tOU one Of the usual type of excursion
boats there was a good chance for it
topping over. It happens though
that the ManitOU runs to the exclU-
sively fashionable summer resort
ports of Northern Michigan and car
ries the wealthy, not the 81 excur-
sionists. So, though it was nearly
twice as long as the Eastland, it had
only 275 passengers on board, instead
of $500 and it was protected by
model ballast system.
Among the passengers on the boat
were Jas. B. Forgan, president of the
First National bank of Chicago, and
10 guests returning from the wedding
of Miss Catherine Barker, the $780,
100000 heiress, at Harbor Point,
