THE SUNDAY MAIL TO BE DISTRIBUTED Postmaster Kicks Gives But Import ant Announcement hs to Sunday Mali Services. Postmaster Hicks has announced that, beginning with next Sunday, all mail addressed to holders of lock box es at the local ofllce will be distribut ed each Sunday as formerly. It is generally known that the post office has been closed Sundays for the past tew months, a bill having been rush ed through congress at the last session forcing all post offices to close on the Sabbath. The new law put a great many people to inconvenience and gen oral dissatisfaction was expressed when it began to be enforced. Post master General Hitchcock gave out a statement declaring that he did not stand sponsor for the bill and that he had not suggested It. The depart ment has not construed the bill as It seemed to be Intended and numbers of cities have been allowed the privilege of having their mails if they desired it. Postmaster Hicks stated several days ago that he believed that the patrons of this office favored the dis tribution of the mails on Sundays, so he wrote for a "special dispensation" for the Laurens ofllce and his request i was granted. The general delivery window will not be open nor will the i general delivery mall be distributed. This announcement will be receiv ed with satisfaction by a large number of the patrons of the office and Mr. Hicks will be congratulated upon the interest he has shown in the matter. RemlnlHcencles.
