on what it will do concerning thtsj
much-discussed BUbJcct. The tight be-j

of Tennessee, and hie successor, Ham-!
uei Sellt=, and Congressman Slemp over!
this mutter is woll known to the citi?
zens of Southwest Virginia, and it is
also known that the latter does not'
intend to let up In his efforts to landI
the office eventually on tho Virginia
sldo, or secure a new office if one can
bo had, and if former promises of the.
Post-Office Department arc carrlod ]
out. To-day, when Mr. Slemp was ask-:
od for a statement* about the matter, |
he suld:
? The people on tho Virginia side
have for forty years been practically
debarred from any appointment In the
Post-Office at Bristol. Though it Is
generally agreed that Bristol, Va.,
furnishes more than ?? per cent, of
the postal receipts under tUe policy
of the Post-Office Department for that
many years, it seeing that no citizen
of Virginia was eligible for appoint?
ment us postmaster. Against this
condition. aB representing the Virginia
cunetltuency, I havo protested with all
my power. At one time President
Taft sent the name of a Virginian to
be made postmuBter?G. E. Goodell.
His appointment wae held up in the
Senate, tlrst by the Tennessee Sena?
tors, who said they would never con
sen to a Virginian being appointed,
and afterwardB by the Prof'dent him?
self, who desired to act very cautious?
ly In following the subject.
"The matter was then held In abey?
ance for quite a while, when It was
agreed at the Post-OfTleo Department
that each city should have its own
post-office, and that a separate post
office would be established on the Vir?
ginia side. Under the law, the ojs-.
offiee thus established would have to
be a fourth-class office. This, however,
would only exist for a fe\<- months,
after which Bristol would become a
permanent poet-office Institution.
"There is a feeling of local pride In
every Indivdual that his town ir city
should have separate postal recogni?
tion. When Greater New York war
formod the Brooklyn office ivia nut
abolished, though that should really
have been dune. The Brooklyn offleo
was left as a concession to the unti
ment of the Brooklyn residents. Bris?
tol, Va? has a growing population, 1
imagine, of about S.000 people. It has
two or- three coilores. which ars the
largest educational Institutions in
Southwest Virginia. It is under ?ep
arate municipal form <~i government,
