AFTER LONG HEARING

WAYCROSS, July 25.-After a
hearing, lasting more than fourteen
hours, Dr.. J r. Scully, the assis-
tant health officer at Waycross,

ing showed from the beginning
that a good case was not made
against the officer and it was not
surprising that he should have been
cleared In rendering their de-
cision, the commission not only
exonerated the doctor, but COM
plimented him upon his efficient
services to the city.

Advantages Resulting From
Compliance With Request.

.eost,rla sters OF the country have

once Department, whereby house
holders who fail to place letter boxes
or door slots at the entrance OF their
homes by March will have to go TO
the post Office for their mail.
'It is not the purpose Of this order
TO deprive any one Of the use OF the

cient system. so that all may enjoy
more expeditions service, and our
carriers be relieved from a constant
source of irritation" declared John

That this order is reasonable and
mutually advantageous, Gov. Bart

that before il was made about 10
per cent of the dwellings, in the coun-

been thus equipped.
Since the order was issued very

Cable Company has decided to file
protest with Japan and China
against the recent agreement to d.
vide between two countries the right
of control over the Sasebo Tsingtao
cable.
The prospective protest is that the
agreement amounts to infringement
OF the monopolistic right which the
Great Northern Company possesses
over cable services In China. Some
imperial authorities hold that no pro-
test could be considered tustihable
that is set forth against an agree
ment warranted by the Washington
