Postmaster Fant Anxious for Any Suggestions to Rotter Service. Editor Keowee Courier: The pub lic will perhaps he Interested In some facts pertaining to the postal service ii, Qconee county, which 1 consider a -phuidld advertisement for tho coun ty, hetu o I ask your indulgence. There are 16 post o??lces located in the county, and ono sub station (at Oak way). We have 21 rural routes, with about 500 miles of service and representing an expenditure of ap proximately $25,000 per annum. As postmaster at Walhalla 1 am pa ri icu la riv proud of tho mail facili ties we have here. Although Wal halla is not on the main linc of the Southern Railway, still wo have di rect connection with every mail train on that line except one, a midnight nain, both for the Incoming and outgoing mails, by steam train, gas car or automobile. The Highlands star route, through tho efforts of Congressman Aiken, was established two years ago and ls now a fixture. The opening up of this route for the mails has diverted practically all of the Highlands travel through Walhalla, whereas be fore it went almost entirely around hy Dillard, Qa. The contractor on this route, ll. ES, Mayes, has had about all the passengers ho could handle, and quite frequently had to turn them away. As is well known, Congress has made an appropriation for good roads, available for mai] routes and forest reserve territory, and right now we should get losy with such preliminaries as may he necessary In order that we may get some of that money at I he earliest possible time. (letting back to our mail service again, tho automobile service from Seneca here and on to Tamassee and Salem is a decided success, and the mails now reach all points before breakfast and tn time for the rural carriers, and "to-day's papers are de livered to-day" to subscribers as far up as the Whitewater community. The passenger traille on this route has grown to be a big item also. It took hard work to get Ibis last ; service authorized. The I'ost Office Department sent a special agent here : to pass on the proposition, but he made an adverse report. However, i Congressman Aiken did not give up, j and after repeated efforts llnally got favorable action. So far as 1 know no other county in the State has auto star route mall service-something Indeed to brag about. Some time ago an effort was made to get the free delivery of mail in Walhalla, but as there was no appro priation for that purpose the best tho department could do was to author ize free delivery on Main street, the entire length, and on down through Midway and West Union. This ser vice is now available to all who care for it. Finally, if any one can suggest anything that will improve or add to our present mail service, we shall be glad to hear from him. With the best postal facilities, the best cit mate and the best people, Oconee county is a most desirable phire to live. X. Kant. P. M. Walhalla. Sept. 1 1. Dost Hand nt. Greenwood, (The .Journal. 1 1th.) John Witto, a colored employee at Heaudrot's shop, was tho victim of ; ! unusual and horrible accident late Saturday afternoon when his rieht hand was blown off at the wrist by a piece of casting which was being welded to a steam engine piston. His left arm was also slightly injured and he suffered several cuts on the legs. So terriffic was the explosion, which was caused by the formation of gases in some inexplainable way, that tho piston, weighing 36 pounds, was blown across tho shop a distance of some feet and bent several Iron bars in a window. Clarence Deau drot, who was standing nearby, barely escaped. Three others in the shop also barely escaped. The colored boy "was knocked down and did not know that his hand had been severed, almost as smoothly as if cut by a surgeon's knife, until a minute or two after tho accident. Clarence Beaudrot found the hand and the piece of cast ing which amputated l,t lying almost where Witte stood. Resigns ns raster nt Return. Rev. Li, M.
