The Charleston News and Courier correspondent at Waeh'ngton telegraphs the following: "Representative A. F. Lever called again on Tuesday morning at the postofSca department to inquire into uiaiiri ui *v? *?w city of Sumter, and incidentally to file a number of petitions for rural delivery ia his district. "The report of the inspector detailed by the department to investigate the conditions in Sumter prefft finiil /?ranoi/^QrofTAn nf JJCkiOlUl J tu a UUOX VUU9JV4WA ww?\/u v? tbe c ise has Dot yet reached the department, and until that time the matter 6tands as it did on the several previous visits of Mr. Lever in this behalf. "This is the only town in the Seventh district which, under the law as it now exists, is entitled to free delivery. / "Mr. Lever has in view the early introduction of a bill carrying: out the idea contained in a bill introduced by his predecessor, looking to a more general free delivery in smail towns and villages. A town must now show a population of 10,000 or the postoffice show receipts amounting to $10,000 per annum, before it is en titled to free delivery, and even then it depends upon the mercy of the postoffice department whether or not the delivery is extended to it. This is an unfair discrimination against the small towns and the young representative of the 7ch district is up in arms against it. "Mr. Lever will introduce a bill to morrow directing the treasurer of the TT 'I 1 Ol.l 1 A. il A u nueu otates to pay to tus trustees of the St. Stephen's Lutheran church, at Lexington, the sum of two thousand dollars for injuries done to it by the troops of W.

The Richland County Board cf Control has turned over to the county aDd the city of Columbia for the year ending November 1st, 1901, $40,876,70.
