VALUABLE PACKAGE STILL UNCLAIMED Columbia, Jan 26?A package /alued at $100 was received at the Dolum'bia postoffice recently without street address and the honest man to ,vhom it was delivered refused to ac cept it.

This is only one of 1,296 pieces of misdirected or improperly directed nail received one day this week, ac cording to the figures given out yes ;erday morning by J B Rodgers, chief mail clerk at the Columbia post >ffice. Mr Rodgers says of this number 257 pieces were picked out and del ivered immediately after a second icanning of the mail, and 1,039 peo >le had to be looked up in the city lirectory before the mail could be lelivered, all of which .could have >een avoided by a little cooperatioli vith the postoffice department on V L - Cw IkOIMMV* ;ne part oj xue jjuuhu m naviug nail addressed to' street and number >r 'box and number. There are many duplications and nultiplications of names with the ;ame initials in Columbia'and as the )Ost office clerks do not know the landwrting of each person's particu ar friends, there is nothing to go by ;xcept guess work in delivering such nail. Cards are furnishe-d by maif car eers upon request for the,purpose of >eing filled out by the expectant mail jetter so that the postal clerks will enow who's who when it comes to de ivering mail. All persons moving from one lo cality to another and all coming to :he city to live are urgently request ed to ask the carrier for cards to fill >ut with their addresses so their nail can be delivered and promptly.
