Protest Made As To
Dumping of Mail
A vigorous remonstrance by the
I Camden and Kershaw County Cham-*
ber of Commerce against tho practice
oil tlu* part of railway mail clerks in
dumping bugs of first-duns mail from
I a speeding Seaboard mail train in
passing through Camden has resulted
in tlio Federal Cost Offieo Department
I looking into the situation.
The Chamber of Commoree lias
! boon advised by S. A Sislor, gem nil
superintendent of the division of railway
mai Vfpoi-vl ? ?? of tlio post office department
at Washington, that Hold of- j
ficiais of the department have boon 1
requested to Investigate the matter
here and take such action as will provide
safe delivery of mail in Camden
"You may be assured that the representations
made in your letter to I
the second assistant postmaster general
will receive careful consideration,"
says Mr. Staler in a luttoi. to
secretary Heath of the Chamber of
Commerce. !
Postmaster C. P. DuHosc believes
that tlio prompt action of the Chamber
of Commerce in filing complaint
at Washington will insure favorable
action 011 the part of tile Federal government
In correcting the practice of
tbsuing tho mail bags from the speeding
trains.
Wliile an almost miraculous welding
together by tlio Camden postal
groups of mangled and torn mail resulted
in the delivery of a majority
of the letters and the like, contained
in the sack that was ground under
the train, letters, including some
$1,500 in checks sent to a 1 Lancaster
bank, wus never recovered and while
a search over the entire countryside
was instituted, it was futile and the
only supposition is that the checks
and other letters were ground to bits
and blown far by a high wind prevailing
at the time.
