What is this article about?
The US Congress repealed the law requiring letter-carrier mail delivery in cities with 20,000+ population and enacted a new one setting the threshold at 30,000. However, this does not apply to Nashville, as it shares a carrier's office with Edgefield, and their combined populations exceed 30,000.

Full Text
Considerable interest has been excited by the repeal of the old law regulating the letter-carrier system, which provided that all cities with a population of twenty thousand and upward, should have the mails delivered by this system, and the passage of a new enactment placing the required population of cities entitled to letter-carriers at thirty thousand. This law, however, will not apply to Nashville, as this city and Edgefield are in the same carrier's office, and the two populations taken together would exceed the limit now required.
