KIDDIES TELL THE GOOD
SANTA CLAUS WHAT THEY
WOULD HAVE THEM BRING
' The announcement o£ the Americus
Times-Recorder that Santa Claus was
anxious to receive the letters of the
children of Americus and Sumter
county caught a quickening response.
I
Old Santa is all smiles, for he knows
I
that the children have not forgotten
him—could they?
He is carefully reading and filing
away every letter which he receives,
bo the children had better get busy
and tell him their w’ants.
Som e of the letters which were re
ceived today:
Wants a Real Auto.
I am a little boy eight years old, and £
papa’s got a Ford, but I want Santa !
Claus to bring me a real automobile. ‘
His ain’t much now. If you will give
me this I won’t ask for a thing else.
Americus, Ga. WILLIE.

will be satisfied. JOHN. I

MANI APPLY FDR
PLACE ON BOARD
ATLANTA. Ga., Dec. 6.—Following
tbe action of Fuller E. Callaway in
declining a place on the Western &
Atlantic commission, over a score of
applications for the place have been
received.
While the list of those who have
been mentioned already to the com
missioners are not available for pub
lication, there are a number of names
being talked as possibilities, and it is
known that if these names have not
already been presented to the com
missiop, friends of these prospects
will present them.
Among these are Gen. A. J. West,
of Atlanta; M. C. Tarver, of Dalton;
T. M. Brumby, of Marietta; W. H. Pat
terson, of Atlanta; E. W. Copelan, of
Greensboro; Pope Brown, of Hawkins
ville; S. G. McLendon, of Atlanta; Jo-
i
seph M. Brown, of Marietta; W. J.
Massee, of Macon; R. A. Broyles, of
Atlanta, and Hooper Alexander, of At- <
lanta. In the case of Mr. Alexander, ( '
however, there is considerable specu
lation as to whether his position with ]
.the federal government would allow
him to accept the position on the
commission and retain his present i 1
connection.
G. Gunby Jordan, of Columbus, has 5
already indicated his intention of ac
cepting.
Judson L. Hand, of Pelham, has not 1
made any statement. He will confer 1
with the governor and the chairman
of the railroad commission today. ,
It is predicted, however, that ne will
accept.
Gov. Harris will call a meeting of i
the commission in Atlanta next Thurs- (
day, when it will take up its tenta
tive organization.
W. A. Wimbish, of Atlanta, who j»s j
named by the General Assembly as ’ i
special attorney for the commission,
will not indicate his acceptance or re
fusal until after the meeting Thurs-J

« MAIL PHY '
IS MUTTER OF INTEREST..
s
ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 6.—Atlanta
e
railroad officials received this morn-
I s
ir.g a formal statement from Mr. Ralph I
Peters, chairman of the committee on ‘'
railway pay, in reference to the post- 1
office department’s recent announce,
ment that the railroads of certain sec
tions would receive increased pay for ■ I
carrying the mails during the next ’
four years.
Unfortunately, some people have
misunderstood the announcement,'’
says Mr. Peters. “There has been no
■ increase in the rates of pay, or any
I concessions to the railroads. Actual- ,
i iy, there has been a decrease in the
I rate for hauling each ton a mile.
“In reality what has happened, is 8
! gcod practical illustration of one of
I the railroads’ chief claims of under-
■ payment for carrying the mails. The j
department has weighed the mails on .
the railroads in the middle west for I
the first time since 1911, and finds
that in the interval the average ton
nage carried has increased about 35
per cent. But the annual pay of these
railroads, which carry the great
trans-continental mails, in addition to
mails of their own territory, is to be
increased only 25 per cent., or from
$’’6,000,000 per year to $20,000,000 per
year. Furthermore, this readjustment
of pay applies only to the future and
includes no settlement of arrearage
i for having carried this increased mail
tonnage during the four years just
passed.
“Does it not seem that congress in •
fairness, should order the mails *
weighed and the pay of the railroads <
re-adjusted at least once every year ?
Since the mails were last weighed ’
in the middle west, the parcels post
las been established and has grown
to its present volume.”
noted.
At the market closing today. Jan
uary contracts were quoted at 12.53:
March, 12.80; May, 13.01.

The county commissioners at their

not consider at all the recommenda

in effect that the county’s purchasing

lowest ’bidder for that month; also
that the price paid for such purchase
be published rs information to tex

Labor conciliators, the labor depart
ment says, will need. $75,000 this year
in place of $25,000. The children’s

last year.
The department of agriculture ask
ed for $2,500,000 ,the same as last
year, for the eradication of foot and

Both the secret service and the bu
reau of investigation of the depart
ment of justice have been busy wito
investigations of an unusual charac
ter on account of the war, asked for
increases, the secret service to $225,-
000 from $145,000, and the bureau of
investigation to $550,000 from $485.-
000. In the request for an increase
for the bureau for the first time ap
icars a statement that part of the
fund may be used in work for the
state department. The department of
justice asks for $250,000 instead of
$300,000 to enforce the anti-trust
laws.
One new feature of the estimates is
the incorporation of a proposal for a
government monopoly of telephone-and
telegraph service in Alaska, Porto Ri

proposed that the wires in these terri
tories be acquired for the postoffice
department by proper proceedings af

be actually taken over by July 1, 1916.

the reservation that the government
might buy them. The sum of $300.-
