MAIL PACKAGES EARLY
Postmasters Sending Out
Appeals to Assist Postal
Force During Holidays.

Postmasters throughout the
state are going to be badly han
dicapped if the public does not
give them needed assistance in
the handling of Christmas pack
ages and mails. While it is true
that the force at the postoffice
receives compensation for the
work they are supposed to do the
government, still if one but rend-
ers slight assistance in the mail
ing and proper addressing of
packages and letters, it will OBJ
viate many mistakes. The best
points yet given out on this sub
ject is the following taken from
the Reedsburg Times:
Think what it means to be
Santa Claus to 100,000,000 people
and to deliver Christmas parcels
to every family in this great
country within the short space of
few days and without any dis
appointment" is the way Assist
ant Postmaster Claridge sizes up
the big job that is on the hands
of Uncle Sans postal employees.
The most of us find it a rather
difficult proposition to play Santa
Claus in our own little family cir
Gle and get the job through on
time. But the United States pos
tai department has never fallen
down on the job. Still it is ask
ing a good deal of a patient chap
like our old Uncle Samuel to
handle the problem without
little united help on the part of
the general public.
Parcels should be we'll wrapped,
tied, and addressed plainly. AL
ways place a return address upon
your mail, whether sent through
parcel post or first class. Mail
your letters and parcels early in
the day, because this avoids over
loading the mails and delaying
the service at the end of the day.
1t is permissible to write on
packages do not open until
Christmas" The custom of mail
ing Christmas packages a week,
or even two weeks, in advance
has developed a sort OF unwrit-
ten law, and no one would inter
fere with the splendid spirit of
the Christmas season by opening
a package thus addressed before
the appointed hour. People may,
therefore, mail packages just as
early as they like, the earlier the
better, so far as the postoffice
force is concerned, and any dang
err of non-arrival by Christmas
day is obviated.
A final admonition is given out
by the post office department to
the effect that as Christmas
comes on Sunday this year, people
should take extra pains to get
their packages started early as

2NECROES HELD
INPITTS ATTACK
Americus Blacks Taken
To Abbeville On Sc
rious Charge

Two Americus negroes, tcouslns,
and each with a bullet wound in his
.sg, were taken to Abbeville Tues
day at noon by Special Agent Sum-
ner, of the Seaboard, to answer to
the charge of assault on Police Of
ficer Grace at Pitts last Thursday
night The negroes were Dennis
Morris, of 240 Dudley street, and
Clarence Williams, both former Sea-
board employees, the former break
man and the latter a bridge worker.
Williams was taken from Cordele,
where he was arrested by Officer
Sumner, and Morris from Americus
where he was picked up at his home
Monday by Sheriff Harvey.
The attack on the Pitts officer was
regarded as serious affair, and the
Seaboard authorities are interesting
themselves in their prosecution, the
officer having been acting at the re-
quest of the conductor of Seaboard
Freight No 50 eastbound.
The negroes, who were laid off re-
Gently, decided to hobo to Vidalla,
and boarded the freight train IN AM
ericus. The conductor, learning they
were aboard, wired ahead to Pitts
for an officer to take them off.
When Officer Grace appeared the
negroes leaped on him, one from in
front and the other from behind and
beat, choked and kicked him, get
ting him down and tried to wrench
his pistol away. The officer fired
wildly, they on top of him and still
attacking him, and finally one of
them was shot in the back and the
other through the fleshy part of the
thigh. The officers gun was soon
emptied but the negroes, evidently
fearing help for the officer from the
sound of his gun, fled.
Officer Sumner got into the in
vestigation and trailed Williams to
Cordele, where he located and jailed
him. In the meantime he had re-
ceived partial description of Nor
ris and notified Sheriff Harvey to
try to find the negro. whose name
he gave as Mauldin. The sheriff,
armed only with the description and
the knowledge that the negro had
been shot, located him without diff
Guilty and turned him over to Mr..
Sumner.
I'VE want the officers along our
line to know that we will stand be-
hind them to the limit in protecting
our property" said Mr.. Sumner.

NAVAL SCANDAL

SCORES DANIELS
Ex- Secretary Roosevelt,
Censured, Charges
Unfairness

WASHINGTON, July 19.-For-
mer Secretary Daniels and former
Assistant Secretary Franklin D.
Roosevelt, of the navy, were de
nounced for methods used in the in
vestigation of the war time scandal
among TIE enlisted men at the New
port training station in the majority
report of the senate subcommittee,
made public today.
The charges made by the clergy
of Newport and the Providence Jour
nal, the report says, have been
proven to the satisfaction of the COM
mittce" and both clergy and the
Journal observe the thanks Of the
people at large"
At the same time Mr.. Roosevelt
issued statement declaring that
Republican Senator Fall and Keys,
constituting the majority of the sub
committee, issued the findings with
out giving him a hearing, which
Roosevelt contended "shows a pre-
meditated and unfair purpose of
seeking what they mistakenly believe
to be a partisan and political ad-
vantage"
Most of the details of the scandal
as disclosed in the investigation are
of an unprintable nature.

TO DEMAND LETTERS
IN POWERS ESCAPE.

ATLANTA, July 19.--Taking The
position that The public is entitled
to know all the facts regarding its
state institutions, Chairman Perry
man, Of the house penisentiary com-
mittee, took definite action this aft
ernoon toward Investigating the es-
cape Of Abe Powers, member Of
the bunco syndicate which operated
in Atlanta several months, from the
state farm at Milledgeyille in April,
when he decided to appoint several
members to demand that the prison
commission submit alleged letters
recommending this convict to the
prison officers. These communities
tions are said to have been written
by Fulton county official and
prominent professional and business
men of this and DeKalb counties.
When read they are expected to
cause a sensation.
The prison commission refused at.
the time of the escape of Powers
to make public the escape and sub
sequent developments.

she said.
EFFECTIVE lobbying means long
and tedious work before the COM
mittees, especially to watch every
move of bill during the latter part
of a session. For then is when it
is easy for bill to get sidetracked.
Miss Ames began her career as a
worker for suffrage II years ago in
Springfield, Mass, her home. Her
campaigning took her into the
mountains Of Kentucky, the mine
districts of Michigan and the farms
country of Misbouii.
Her most pectaeZlar accomplish
ment was in 1919 when the lower
house of the Missouri legislature
had passed bill giving women the
right to vote for presidential cleo
tors in Missouri.
The senate was known to be even
ly divided Miss Ames saved the
bill by hiring special train to bring
from his home city an absent sena-
torial advocate of suffrage who was
defending a young man in q murder
trial.
The vote showed a tie-when the
senator walked in and said:
81 vote aye"
