HACK TO TIIK SI ?Ol I-S S Y ST K.M.
All Postmasters io Take Competitive
Kxamlmttions When Terms Kvpiro
Washington, May lo. The Posl
ofllco Department is hack in politics.
Thus the recent executive order of
tile President is interpreted.
Presiden! Wilson, while in the
White House, issued au order that
all postmasters who received their
appoint incuts as the result of com
petitive examinations would hold
oliice Indefinitely. Mr. Harding has
changed that order. As a result all
postmasters, at tho expiration of
their present terms of oflice, will en
ter into new competitivo examina
tions.
From tho list of those who com
pete Hie President will select one
man. That one man will not of ne
cessity he Hie one who scored the
highest mark. On the contrary, the
President, as a result, of his own
order, will select one applicant from
tho three highest. In only ono ease
will a Democrat ho chosen. If the
three highest men are Democrats,
ono of thom, naturally, will he se
lected. Otherwise a Republican will
get the joh.
lt is a return to the spoils system
rather than the merit system, lt
will mean that every postoflloe filled
within the next four years, and pos
sibly eight years, will be with a Re
publican. As a result, when a Dem
ocratic President comes in lu; will
feel impelled lo issue a new execu
tive order. Ht? will declare that all
pos to iii ces must be lilied as a result
of examinations, and thal lie will se
lect one applicant from the three
making the highest marks. And thus
the spoils system will he perpetuated.
Tho order of President Harding
was generally anticipated.

TORNADO IN SOUTH CAROLINA

thought to be fatally Injured from
the tornado which struck Floyd's

Several others aro painfully hut
not fatally hurt. One of those is
? Flossio Elliott, a six-year-old girl,
who is badly crushed. She was in a

The negro woman, who is expect
ed to die, was brought lo tho*hospi
tal in Marion. She has both lower
limbs crushed.
Ten houses '.vere completely de
molished, The inmates heard Ibo
noise of tho approaching storm, and
many of thom rushed lo Ibo open
fields as Ibo daik cloud swept down
on them. This enabled many to es
capo with their lives, who otherwise
doubtless would have boon killed in
tho wrecked bouses.
The path of tho tornado is possi
bly a foui tb of a mile wide. lt. be
gan at Callivant's Ferry and ?wept
/rom the southeast toward (he north
west. It lifted occasionally, and tho
worst damage was done on the farm

Mr. Meares was not directly itt tho
path of the heavy wind, hut one cor
ner of his born was cut away by ?ho
terrible forco of ibo wind. Five ten
tint houses on this place were de
stroyed.
At one place several bales of cot
ton wore lifted into tho air, and ono
bale was dropped 150 yards from
whore it was picked up. A Ford car
was lined ont of Ibo road. The occu
pant saved li i nisei f hy jumping from
tho machino.
Trees were snapped off or uproot

through the woods.
Relief work was undertaken Im
