NEW POST OFFICE RULES.

Postmasters over the country have
been supplied with a new set of rules
which must be followed by the pa
irons of the office if quick results are
to be obtained Take slant at them:
No letters given out until they are
received. If you don't get letter
or a paper on the day you expect it,
have the postmaster or the employees
look through all the boxes and in
the basement, too. Your mail ought
to be there somewhere. and the force
just loves to hunt for it to please
you. If your friends don't write rave
at the postmaster; he is to blame. If
he tells you theIe is no mail for you,
put on a grieved, sour look and tell
him there ought to be some. He is
doubtless hiding your mail for the
pleasure of having you ask for it.
Ask him to look again. If you are
buying stamps, make him lick'em and
put'em on your parcels-that's his
business; that's what the government
pays him for! When you drop your
letter in the mail box fail to address
the same, or forget the stamp. The
postmaster delights in filling the de-
livery window bars with letters and
postcards: Held for delivery" Call
and ask for your mail every two or
three hours during the day and send
the kids along between your calls.
Turn all the touch buttons on the
lockboxes, and be sure to drop the
fronts of each box floorward These
rules will be observed to fit the office
force for Sunday school work and
calm prayer meeting experiences

GOVERNOR CALLS OUT so DUVAL
GUARDS TO PROTECT DE-
PENDANTS AT MADI-
SON HEARING.

Tallahassee, Oct. 5.-On account OF
the numerous threats against the
lives of Tollar Barton and G. S. Mob

National Bank, where depositors lost
their savings, the governor today or
dered Major J. L. Doggett, of Jackson.

prisoners
A change of venue from Suwanee 20
Madison county is said to have en-
ragged the depOsitors and the lives of
the judge and states attorney have
been threatened.
When an appeal for protection was
made to the governor he was at a
loss as to ire method of procedure,
for the last legislature passed a law
preventing anyone but local authori-
ties from ordering out the Home
Guards and that they could not be
transferred to another community
Many lawyers said the Home
Guards could not be ordered out by
the governor but Acknowledgement
Swearingen Immediately gave an
opinion that the governor is command
er-in-chief of all forces, power dele
gated to him by the constitution, and
that the legislature cannot make laws
conflicting.
The governor then called upon the
supreme court for an opinion which
unanimously held Swearingen was
constitutionally correct.

BANKER SAYS SOUTH DOES NOT
REALIZE TRUE SITUATION.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct 5.-People in the
south absolutely do not realize the
grimness of the war situation. accord
ing to John X. Ottley, vice-president
of the Fourth National bank of At
lanta, who has just returned from
New York, where ne received a vivid
impression of the magnitude of Amer
lica's task.
In letter to w c. Wardlaw. chair
man of the Liberty loan executive
committee in the Atlanta federal re-
serve district, Mr.. Ottley sets forth
his impressions in the following sol
emn measured words of a business
man who is not susceptible of being
swayed by sudden enthusiasm:
"My outstanding impression both of
the great meeting OF bankers (this
reference being to the American
Bankers association, and of my con-
tact with men of affairs in New York.
is the grimness of our war situation.
I'm New York they see the menace.
Men are there on war errands for the
allies and from nearby Washington.
Transactions of war are being carried
on constantly. The very atmosphere
is charged with it. 1t is the talk and
thought of the whole population.
There is no escaping the shadow.
Here we are remote from these ap-
parent activities. Our distance has
kept us in a sort of enehantment of
security. We absolutely do not real
ize the war.
"The sale of Liberty bonds is the
immediate task to which we bankers
in every city, town, village, hamlet
and countryside of Georgia and the
south must dedicate ourselves and
our best energies now-today!"

pRosPERITY AT MoULTRIE.

Moultrie, Ga, did what Ocala failed
to do. She put up a packing plant;
it has since been purchased by the
Swifts and that concern has put more
than three hundred thousand dollars
towards enlarging it.
The erection of the packing plant
Immediately stimulated land values
and stock growing increased rapidly
and prosperity began to be spelt in
very large and growing letters.
The last bank statement showed
more than three million of dollars on
deposit in the Moultrie banks alone
and more than a million in the small
er banks in the county.
If the money in the Moultrie banks
were divided per capita among the
men, women and children living in
the city, each would receive six hun
dred dollars.
That is said to be unequaled by
any city in the south.

ION L. FARRlS MAY RUN FOR AT
TORNEY GENERAL.

Ii is rumored that State Senate Ion
L. Farris, of Jacksonville. formerly
of this city, will oppose Attorney Cen
eral Van c. Swearingen next spring.
Attorney General Swearingen will be
a candidate to succeed himself.
1t is said that Mr. Farris hopes to

and all those who are against Cover

to Cats, as we'll as the support of
what is generally known as the Burke
wing of the Cats faction. He is said

ENTIRELY NEW ISSUE FORCED
BY PRUSSIAN PUBLIC OPINION
1t is Now Apparent That the Imperial
Chancellor is Finding it Difficult
to Further Dodge the Issue
MUST FACE CRITICS OF GOVERN
MENT IN REICI+STAG

External pressure to force the
German government t. set forth its
wair aims clearly having failed on the
surface, internal conditions within the
empire threaten to compel the issu-
ance of a full statement OF Germany's
aims What the German leaders want,
if they are successful, will be dis
cussed in the reichstag this week.
The imperial chancellor, Dr. Mi
chaelis, is finding the way is difficult,
as it was for his predecessor, van
Bethmann-Hollweg, and he must now
face the critics of the government in
the reichstag. Whether, as has been
charged, the bureaucracy and the
army have been furthering the pan
German scheme of annexation and in
IDENTITIES, is expected to be brought
out in the reichstag debate.
Dr. Michaelis on Saturday sent Min
lister of the Interior Helfferich before
the reichstag to make a statement on
his behalf. Heinerich failed to molly
the critical members of the reich
stag, and the sitting was adjourned
after the vice chancellor's speech had
been interrupted. General Won Stein,
the war minister, was jeered when he
attempted to explain the army's side
of the accusation that the high com
mand was using very strong methods
to help the pan-German agitation

OCALA'S NEW UNION STATION

Work on Ocala's new union station
is now going forward rapidly and it
will probably be completed early in
November.
The new station is built of brick
and is in every way an adequate sta
ton for Ocala.
There are large waiting rooms,
ticket offices, baggage and express
rooms and there will also be a restaur-
ant and all other necessary additions
for a modern and up-to-date union de-
pot.
A very great objection to our new
union station, however, is getting to
it." 1t is at present almost inacces-
sible and it is imperative that Main
street be opened up in order TO be
able to get to and from the new sta
ton, and we feel sure that this will
be done at an early date.
We have been long time getting
our union station, bat when We do
finally get it next month. it Will be
quite an addition to the city's as
sets.
