I CONGRESSMEN ARE GRATIFIE Ten Other South Carolina Cities 1 Have Handsome Postoffice Buildings. News and Courier. Washington, April 30,?When eo gress during the next few days pass* the public building bill there wi have gone to the credit of South Ca i olina, to be used in the const rue tic of Federal buildings, more tht \ $400,000, as the result of the woi her representatives have done durit Die present session of congress f< their respective districts. While it is not yet possible to cor pare this amount with* that going oilier States; it is believed that win such a comparison is made and tl size of the different towns sharing this distribution is considered, it wi i be seen that excellent results ha1 s been achieved by each of the six eo gressmen making bids for a part < the appropriation. Every district the Stale is represented except tl 1st, and Mr. Legare, having no oth large places to look after, exec Charleston, asked for nothing, th city already having a maunilice Federal building. Orangeburg, Aiken, Newberr Darlington, CJaffney, Laurens and II ion each have a population of prob bly about 8,000 or 10,00 inhabitant . For that reason it is to tire credit < the South Carolina representativ that they should have been suceessf in securing $50,000 for each of thei Representative Finley, who as member of the house committee < postoffices and postroads, knows considerable amount about postolfi matters generally, was asked . tods what kind of buildings he thoug $50,000 would allow. He stated th in his opinion such an amount won appear to be ample for all purpos where only poslolllce business is to transacted, 'and where there will no necessity of providing quarters f i court officers, revenue officers ai others. He cited the case of Ro \ Hill, which has a fine building, whi cost, when completed, about $45,0t ami something more than $5,000 w paid for the site. While it is not possible to gi even an outline of what each of t ISouth Carolina representatives h , done towards securing these appr priations, it may be said that t items would not have been placed the appropriation bill without, t! most persistent and ceaseless effo on their part. AIKEN. Mr. Patterson secured the passa of an Act June 30, 1906, approprif ing $10,000, with which to purchase site for the Aiken building. Tl has been done, and with the additio al $50,000 available for the build): proper, Aiken will have both a go< j site and building, f ANDERSON. There lias already been approprif ed for the Anderson building ai site $50,000, the latter costing $ 514.58. The additional $10,01 which will go into the fund, will gi that town a total of $00,000. NEWBERRY. Although no delegations came Washington and had public heari on the Newberry proposition. Repr< entalive Aiken worked' faithful from the first, and was awarded sharing in the distribution i<> the c tent of $50,000. I'M ON AND LAEWEN'S. Enion and Laurens show up belt than any of the other Smith Cai linn towns litis year. Mr. .loluis< represents the 4th district jn coiigre: I has both Union and Laurens in 1 district. He gets $50,000 for each ^ them. In addition to this (Jrecnvi |P recently got $80,000 for enlarging h building, and Spartanburg, under i p cent Act, got $00,000, and now h P1 one of the best equipped and m< f commodious postoffice buildings tha south. GAEENEY. ffalYney, through hard work on t part, of Representative Einley, slir ed to the extent of $50,000, and tho is no reason, he thinks, why a fin i class building should not be bu I there ,just as quick as the necessa plane ^an be drawn. Resides t'nis Mr. Einley has recei ly gotten appropriations for Chest and Rock Hill?$50,000 for Chest i and $45,000 for Rock Hill. DAlRTil N (ITON. | When the question of passing ' public building bill began to he agit ted several months ago Represent five Ellerbe said that if there w any money to be distributed t-1 year he was going to have his sha for Darlington. He submitted to t committee Am buildings and groun photograi/is of many of the elega buildings Darlington has erected di ing the last few years, and besi x them he showed also poor little sha v/ known as th* Darlington poet, oft { J / / / D building. It did noi take but one sii?lit ot the j?ijoit?iiiai?h t*.? convince to (lu. committee that Darlington needed the money. Mr. Kile:be was successful in his efforts, and will get $f>0,000 tor a site and building there. SUMTER, ORANGEIfURO AND CODUMB.IA. HI The work of securing approprialions for Sumter, Orangcbnrg and Columbia fell to Representative Levin or. He began early in the session to rjc plan how he could get an increase on t'he amount already allowed for Sumjr tor, $50,000, have a new building erected at Orangebuig and either enlarge the present building at Columbia or erect a new one commensurate ? with the needs of the Columbia of "n today. He planned wisely. He was ,1C successful in all three undertakings, f!J nnd will get $">0,000 for Orangeburg 1 ( outright, an iu/:ease ?.f at least $lo!u 000, and possibly more for Sumter, and <!cts a complete investigation by ? the supervising architect of the treasury in!?? the needs of the Columbia ollice. Phis investigation will be made before the next session of conlit "r'S' ;,n'' 1 :(" ' "v,'r xv'll either have Columbia given a new building al a cost of several hundred thousand dollars or the pre-j^nt structure will' }> be so remodelled' and enlarged that ,l" it will lie useful and commodious for a~ many years to come. A word should be said for the splendid delegations of business men wlioj ej came to Washington at Mr. Tvever's | request and appeared before the com-1 n* mittee on buildings and grounds in I behalf of Sumter, Orangeburg and ,n Columbia. That they made an excellent impression on the committee is best shown in the success that their ^ congressman has achieved in securing something substantial for each of the ', places named. Id ? J liese new authorizations, with the lje tine buildings constructed at Florence, be ^'recn wood and the other places already named, speak i:i the best possi((| ble way for the successful efforts of c,j. South Carolina representatives ir. j ? congress to secure for their respecIQ live districts their proper share of i as public appropriations. P. II.

Tlie quesng tion as to whether or not a commisml sion appointed by the sovereign State of South Carolina represents the State and is liable to suit under the. jj_ constitution of the United tates is 11(j involved. Judge Pritchard having sat in the )0 lower court, is barred from sitting vc again, and it is in his place that Chief Justice Puller will appear. The style of the case before the court here is W. J.

The court of appeals will meet in Richmond next week, but 'It whether or not the dispensary case *.V will be readied at this term of the court is not yet known here. The it- records were sent on only a few days or ago and the case is not at this time er ready for argument. It is certain that it will not be argued.

IT. re SKYSCRAPER AND PYRAMID. he ds Comparison of thc Amount of Efnt fort Required to Build Them. ie Fngineering Magazine. ck No one has been able to decide ioo how tho enormous stonos in the Pyra mids wore handled; for, evei\ allow ing lor the v?ast army of men, som sort of mechanical contrivance nnia have been used. One theory *s thai as each coin's of stone was 1, sand embankinen was built round it with long eas slopes, so that the stones for th next course could be pushed up o rollers and slide into place withou any actual lifting, and so on, the p> ramid being in fact buried as fast a it was built, until th? top was roacli ed, when the stupendous job of r< moving the sand cnnbaukvwent wa commenced. This might account for the ra> amry of laborers used; for instanc< it is said that in building the greti pyramid of Cheops, 100,000 men wev employed for eighty years, althoug the quarry from which Hie stone wa obtained was only 3.000 feet from th pyramid. The City Investing Building, lii largest skyscraper in New York, ha| pens to he nearly lite same height ? I lie pyramids. If we required tli same number of days' labor for thi building, which taks a year to orec <?s the Egyptians took. we woul have thirty multiplied bv 100.000, <i :?.(?(?().000 men working every day I'd one year on this one building. Imagine a number of men equal t almost the entire population (incliui ing men, women and children) ( New York City, trying to reach tli corner of Broadway and Cortland street, every morning. Even if the got there, there would remain th impossibility of finding standin room. It alone workinf room for then or of providing a commissariat's c hygienic department. Against this 000,000 men working every day IV one year, the average number on tli City Investing Building would nc exceed 2,000 men a day, while tli maximum would probablv never reac :i,ooo.
