Editor Herald and News: I have just read Fourth Assistant Postmaster General P. R. DeGraw's letter. which says that it is nesessary in order to complete the rural mail service in the coun'ty, which is now under consideration in the depart ment, to have a complete road map made, showbig all of the public r10"aId and residences aloig tile line. The postmaster has asked for this with the understanding that it in volve no expense to the department, and you have directed the matter to the supervisor And his board for their consideration. I would say that there is no one, who a.ppreciates the free mail service. any more than myself, mid I am doing everything in my power to better the condition of the public highways, which the car riers have to pass over. And ever since the service has been in opera tion, I have advised every one living along the lines to give it their pat ronage and co-operation, and with the cvenutii of some complaint of rough road, which is now being overcome, I venture the assertion that Newberry county has the best mail service of any county in the state. Mr. Editor, how much does the free mail service lack of being complete in the county? We have been under the impression that it reaches about as far as practicable already, or at least nine-tenths of the people are being benefited with free delivery. The county board will investigate the matte-, and I dol'- intend that what I say shall have any tendency to block anything which might be for the general good of the public. But, Mr. Editor, did you think what a cost to the county it would be to have such a survey made? To illustrate 1i1, matter, and to give the public a better idea of how the county is cut up into public highways, you will please publish the following list of different sections of public highway, Iv are bounded with the names of each overseer for'each section, just in .two townships-9 and 10. I have ;-t completed this work, which the supervisor has hired me to do for him, paying me out of his own salary. Mr. Editor, after inspecting this list please give us a proximate estimate as to what such a survey of the whole ~coun-ty would cost. As a matter of act, we have to take cost into con 'deration. kwst of Overseers in No. 10 Township. Sec. No. 2: From line of No. 1 to line between L. L. Moore and E. L. Strauss. (.ee. No. 3: George I.

Eckels, One of C1eveland's Appointees, Was a Man of Won derful Brain Power. Washington Hferald, Jaimles L. Fekels, tie who died suddenly in Chicago Sunday, was one of the very few men regarded as pro (eges of President Cleveland. There wias no ''tennis Cabinet'' or other official auxiliary to the Cleveland kginme. Nearly all of President Cleveland's prominent official asso eiates were prominent before Mr. Cleveland called them to thle public service. Tlm this respect his adminis tration was unlike eilbier that. of Me Kinliy or R?oosevelt, both of which elevated many hitherto obscure men to tihe top round of olicial promin ence. Hut MIr. E'ekels was takeni up throu.h tile personal favor of Presi dent, Cleveland in a way that aston ished tle President's friends. Mr. Eekels caie to Washington in the early spring of 1893, and. was a familiar boyish figure around the Ar lington Hotel lobby. le was pale, thoughitful, and studious, and practic ed regular hours and habits. He met Mr. Cleveland when the latter was governor of New York and Mr. Eekels was a student at the Albany Law School. Ue knew Daniel La mont, Daniel Manning, and Charles W. Tracy. lie was a delegate to the Deiocratie Yaliional Conveition of 1892, and wvorked under the instrue fions of William C. Whitney to bring about President Cleveland's nomina tion. Mr. Eckels caie to Wkshington seeking appointment as United States attorney for the Northern dis trict of Illinois. But Senator Pal mer was pledged to the candidacy of a member of the Illinois legislature, who had voted for him. President Cleveland was disposed to follow Senator Palmer's recommendation. He sent a message to Mr. Eckels that if lie would withdraw from the race lie would be .taken care of later. Eck els yielded, mananimously indorsing his opponent. This pleased Mr. Cle veland. E'verybody was set to work to find a suitable office for Mr. Eck els. Secretary famont proposed to Mr. Cleveland that, they nake Eckels Director of the Mint. ''I will not bury that young man in a bureau placc,'' said the Presi dent. "I am going to give him a place that will lead to something.'' Eekels had waited about Washington several w 'eks. It. was a newspaper man who con veyed to Mr. Eekels the news that lie had been named for Comptroller of the Currency. ''That's strange,'' sulggested Mr. Exkels. "I am a lawyer, not a bank er. Why, I never read the national bankinwr act. I never had a bank ac count.'' But the nomination of Mr. Eekels wvas confirmed. He readt the national banking act ad started to work, lie found himself in the center of trying scenes. Within a fewv weeks after lhe took omeie national banks began to fail. Within a single mon'th there were nearly as many failures as had occurred during the history of the oflee. HeI met the situation and measured up to it. President Cleve tand's admirat ion for his protege grew. When Mr. Eekels retired from office, Mr. (leveland sent him an atut ographi letter saying that. no ap pointIment lie had made in either admninist rat ion had gi,ven him such satIisfaction1. bymanin J1.
