Post Office Hints.

When you hear the train whistle
rush to the Office, storm around there
half an hour when you notice the
carrier just delivers the mail.
When you call at the office for
your mail and the postmaster hands
you the mail, ask him if that is all.
If you ask for your mail and ne
tells you there is none, tell him there
ought to be, then go home and send
the rest of the family around at diff
ferent times throughout the day.
Don't bring your mail to the Office
until the mail closes, then abuse the
post master for not opening the mail
bag and putting your letter in.
When you want stamp on your
letter, tell the postmaster to put it
on; if he don't, go for him. In case
you put it on yourself soak it 10 your
mouth long enough to remove tie
mucilage; it will then stick until
dry.
Be sure to ask the postmaster to
credit you for stamps; if he has any
accommodation about him he'll do
it.
If you have box. stand and
drum on it until the postmaster hands
out your mail; it makes him feel
good, especially if he is waiting on
someone else.-Ex.

DROP TWENTY-FIVE FEET
TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS
Farmer and Negro Plunge From a
Bridge Near Macon.

ACCOMMODATING a steam trac-
ton engine out on the Jeffersonville
road late yesterday afternoon farm
er and a negro dropped about 25 feet
from a bridge to the railroad tracks
at Pixies Peak station on the NJ. ID. &
s. railroad.
Traffic ove~ the M. D. & S. at this
point was necessarily suspended for
three hours, the time consumed in
removing the debris.
The fact that the farmer and negI o
escaped death is considered nothing
short of a miracle.
The farmer, whose name has never
been made known, it seems, was too
frightened to attempt to steer over
the bridge and instructed the negro
to guide tie traction engine over this
structure. 1t seems that the negro
lost his head and also control of the
machine with tne result that it
plunged to the railroad tracks be-
low.

HE CUSSES OUT"
EVERYBODY, TCHARGE
THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
GEORGIA SOLDIERS HOME is
NOW UNDER FIRE.
PRESENT LEGISLATURE PETITION
Other Charges Are Made by Some of
the Inmates, and an Investigation
of Every Department of the Insti-
tuition Is Requested.

ATLANTA.-A sensational petition
charging many irregularities in man
agement and recommending much
needed reforms in the Georgia Sol
diers' Home has been filed with Sena-
tor Walker and Representative Full
bright, chairmen of the senate and
house appropriations committees, by
thirty inmates of the home, which is
located on the outskirts of Atlanta.
An investigation is urged by the
petitioners, who declare that 1.-The
grievances are great and need a
speedy remedy" 1t is not the first
time similar charges have been made.
Every two or three years for the past
ten years or more the old veterans
have entered complaints against the
management of the home and upon
investigation it has generally been
found that things were in much bet
ter shape than would be expected
from the tone of the petitions. The
officers of the home are we'll known
Georgians. One of the complaints
made by the aged soldiers follows:
THE superintendent is nearly sew
enty-nine years old; he is very irri-
table, and curses everything and ev-
erybody on the slightest provocation,
and often without provocation. 1t
was sworn in 1906 that his profan-
ity was tall and ornate Nine years
have passed, and he mas improved by
practice. He grossly insults the in
mates"
1t is also charged that numbers Of
old soldiers have been suspended as
form of punishment and turned out
of the home, although this is against
the rules of the institution. The night
guard is said to have been former
Decatur street saloonkeeper, man
of no character or standing. Charges
are likewise made against the mat
ron, surgeon, nurses and intact eV-
cry department of the institution.

Railroad Was Convicted of Discrimi-

Through a recent decision of the
United States supreme court uphold
ing an order of the state railroad
commission the Wadley Southern
railroad has paid to the state $1,000
imposed on it as fine by Jurge Raw
lings for alleged discrimination
against shippers.
Adrian is between Wadley and
Rockmart, and shippers complained
that when they received consign-
ments over the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah railroad via Rockledge the
Wadley Southern refused to receive
them except upon prepayment of
charges at Rockledge, but that pre-
payment was not required by the
Wadley Southern provided shipments
were routed over the Central of Geor-
gia railroad via Wadley.

ON POUND OF CORN
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN MEX
ICO ARE SUBSISTING ON
FAMINE RATIONS.
MISERY AMONG THE POOR

Indians Are Deserving the Mountains
For the Settlements. Farms AE0
Ruined and There Are No Crops.
Causes of Famine.
PUEBLA, Mexico.-An investiga-
ton of food conditions in the interior
of Mexico outside of Mexitco City iI-
dictates that while people are not
actually starring in great numbers
many thousands are living on almost
famine rations and the misery of the
poorer classes is perhaps more in
tense than ever before in the history
OF the republic.
Deaths by starvation are reported
among the poor women and children
in the cities and hundreds of thOus-
ands of families are living on as lit
tie as a pound of corn or beans every
three days.
The principal reasons for famine
conditions throughout Southern Mex
leo are:
Railroad transportation is demon
allied.
Farms, large and small, are ruin
ed, and there are practically no
crops.
Such small stores of foodstuffs as
exist in the cities are Communicated
by military factions or are held by
military leaders for speculation.
Conditions in the larger cities are:
Puebla, population $4,000, third
largest city in the republic, 10000
people, including many poems driven
in from rural districts, are living on
small quantities of corn given them
twice a week; no supplies are avail
able other than those already in the
city.
Pachuca, population 10000, capt.
tai of the state of Hidalgo, half OF
the population is ON short rations.
Oaxaca, 10000 population, capital
of the state of that name, thousands
are living on small supplies available
in the immediate vicinity.
On Short RatiOns.
Orizaba, $4,000 population, sixty
miles from Vera Cruz, famine is ap-
parent among the poor and even the
Weather classes are suffering.
Such cities as GuadaIaJara, second
largest in the republic, Cuernavaca
MOrelia, capital of Michoacan, Tolu-
ca, Silao and Irapuato, with popula-
tions ranging from 1000 to 1875, 900,
are more or less cut off from com
munication and no reliable reports as
to actual conditions there are obtain
able.

covered was made by steamship
man of high standing in this city,
who confirmed the story told today
ysy H. C. Hill, a passenger on the
steamer Espagne. Mr.. Hill said that
One such bomb had been found
aboard a vessel which he declined to

For the same reason a steamship
man confirming the attempt to wreck
steamers declined to allow his name

Ships Menaced.
Two of the three vessels menaced
by bombs, it was learned, were the
British steamships Bankdale, which
left New York May Z for Havre, and
the Lord Erne, which sailed April 20
for the same destination.
The third steamer, it was learned,
did not go to Havre, but put into
Falmouth.
The Bankdale and Lord Erne, both
British freight ships, were under
charter of the French line. Officials
of the line today declined to dis
cuss the matter further than to say
the two ships had sailed under char
ter, and that they did. not carry pas
sengers.
