Christmas packages, which show the
effect OF the mail early campaign,
have been dispatched In greater mum
bcrs this year than ever before In the
history Of the postoffice. There were
zoos sent one day last year and
9,428 the corresponding day this year.
While the number OF sacks re.
ceived yesterday totaled 2,20s, as
against 1885 the previous year, IL Ia
believed that this number will be in.
creased materially about Saturday.
There was n tremendous Increase in
the number OF sacks of mail recaived
from substations here over last year.
The day that was compared with yes.
terday last year was a Sunday, there
being scarcely any transportation
then.
Only seventeen sacks were collected
that Sunday. as against 900 yesterday.
Another days comparison shows that
$50 were collected December 10, 1916, and
IT'S the same date this year. A con-
siderable Increase Is shown in the col
lections from street boxes this year.
when 2,05s sacks OF mail and packages
were obtained as against .27s last year.
Yesterday, there were delivered I'm the
city Of Washington 3.051 sacks of pack
ages. only "A few OF them coming from
this city. This Is nearly 500 sacks more
than were delivered the corresponding
day last year, when 2,29S were dis
trlbuted. The entire amount OF mail
handled at the Postoffice IL several days
ahead OF the usual schedule. This is
attributed entirely TO the mail early
campaign.

FIVE NEGROES
ARE LYNCHED
Taken From Jail at Syl-
vester, Georgia, and
Hanged by Mob.
ACCUSED oF MURDER

The state Of George has had
additional disgrace ped upon
it by adding five murders TO its
score.
On Thursday of last week for.
ty or fifty men worked a ruse On
Sheriff L. A. Potts and his jail
er at Sylvester. Worth county,
Georgia, by which they affected
entrance to the Jail and took
therefrom five men who were
carried to the adjacent countyof
Lee, and near the hamlet of
Starkyille, three miles from the
county site, Lees'burg, hanged
the five negroes to one limb, af-
ter which the bodies were rid.
died with bullets.
-Four or five men awakened
the sheriff and jailer and told
them that they had q negro
whom they wanted to keep in
Jail over night to- protact him
from amob. After the men had
entered the Jail with the negro,
they loosed the bonds o. the he.
gro, seized the officers aud de.
manded the keys to the cells in
which were confined the five me-
groes accused Of completely in
the murder Of Sheriff Moraland,
Of Lee county, during the sholi.
days. d
The negroes wanted were ser
cured, no other prisoners molest,
ed and the five were rushed out
to waiting automobiles, q much
larger crowd Of the lynchers hav.
ing by that time collected at the
Jail door. The five negroes were
carried away, and the sheriff at.
tempting to give the alarm, by
telephone, discovered that all
wires leading north, the direc.
tion taken by the autos, had
been cut.
The five negroes lynched were
Felix Lake and his three sons,
Frank, Dewey and Major and
another negro. James Keith,
most wanted by the. mob, bad
been spirited away to some sun.
known Jail by the sheriff.
Georgia has now before it the
duty Of discovering these ,mur-
derers who are blackening the
fair name Of the state and it is
10 be hopedgthat the local an-
thorities and the governor Of the
state will rise to the occasion.
