LATE MAILS NOW
CAUSE COMPLAINT IS
NOT DUE TO ANY FAULT OF LOCAL
OFFICE, BUT OWING TO DELAY
ED ARRIVAL OF TRAINS IN MA
CON.

Americus had a recent seige of bad
mail service out of Macon-due to no
fault at the local postoffice at all
and for that reason the people of the
city will be interested to know that
other communities are making coc-
plants about similar conditions.
The Valdosta Times says:
{'There was no passenger trains
coming out of Atlanta and Macon ev-
cry afternoon and night, by which
mails could be sent to this section
; of the country, we would not com
plain of the service which is being
rendered But when there are trains
that could bring the mails, without
having to wait on northern and west
ern connections, it strikes us that
the people of this vast territory are
subjected to an excuseless hardship
in having to do without their mails
SO long.
The news mail which The Times
gets from Atlanta is valueless to us
because it is generally out of date
before we can use it. The mail
which the business men have a right
to expect to find on their desks when
they reach their offices in the mon
ing is usually several hours late,
throwing the correspondence for the
day completely out of gear and en-
failing untold trouble.
The rural routes are served By
carriers who leave the postoffice ev-
cry morning about seven o'slock, or
about three hours after the northern
mail should arrive here. When this
mail comes in on a tourist train four
or five hours late, it merely means
that the man on the farm, who is
entitled to his mail regularly, must
wait twenty-four hours for it
There are several mail connections
at this city and these trains must
allow themselves to be put several
hours behind time. causing much in.
convenience to passengers, or they
must SO off without mail, causing
just as great an Inconvenience to
people along the line who are entitled
to a good mail service. The chief
value of the mail service is that it
is quick and prompt. If the postal
authorities are going to subject the
localities along the railroad lines to
inconvenience just to please the serv-
ce which originates thousand miles
away, these authorities umst expect
the people who are thus lightly treat
ed to make a vigorous protest. =
There is a train leaving Macon ev-
cry night and coming this way, which
is seldom behind time, This train
ought to connect at Macon with a
train from Atlanta, so that the mail
from the State Capital, including
the newspapers from the larger cen
ters, are brought here in reasonable
time. We trust the Atlanta and Ma
con papers will join The Times in its
protest aginst the present service
a service which gives The Times an
advantage in its territory as news
distributor, but which We realize is
working a hardship u0on many others
who arc interested in the prompt
handing of the mails.
