Postmaster, Sir: The postoffice appropriation act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, provides: "That hereafter postoffices of ;he first and second classes shall nor be jopen on Sundays for the purpose of delivering man 10 me general puniic, i but this provision shall not prevent' the prompt delivery Of special delivery I mail." Under this law you will close the general delivery, carriers' windows, and lock boxes and discontinue a'l deliveries by carriers on Sunday. You will note, however, that special delivery mail is excepted and you will therefore arrange to have on duty a sufficient force to handle this mail matter promptly. The department desires to reduce , Sunday work to the minimum so that | as many of the employees as possible i may enjoy a complete day of rest on Sunday. You should, therefore, require only a sufficient number \of clerks to report for duty on that day in order that transit mail and the mail collected for dispatch may be handled without delay. If no mail is dispatched on Sunday a very early collection should be. made on Monday morning and the mail for local delivery distri-| buted before the carriers leave for i their first trip. . Respectfully, C. P. Grandfield, First Assistant Postmaster General. | From the above it will be seen that! no mail whatsoever will be distribut-: i ed in the boxes, delivered from the i general delivery and carriers' windows on Sundays. The only mail to ; be delivered on Sunday will be special; J All T171 1 1 Ka /1i JUCliVCiy man. aii uwio nm uc uu- j | patched on Sundays same as heretofore. f Patrons of the office will please take due notice of this law and not ask the ; employees of the office to violate the law by granting thefh special privileges.* ' Respectfully, Chas. J. Purcell,* Postmaster. FOR STATE OFFICES. Candidates Who Ask For domination in Democratic Primary to be Held Tuesday, Aug. 27.

The Approval and Hearty Commendation it Has Received From State Suj)t Swearingen. . Speaking of the work of County Superintendent of Education E. H. Aull, the Hon. J. E. Swearingen, State superintendent of education, says: Pnliimhio Ancr 9A 1Q19 VVIUUIL'AU) ? V) AV In December the State board of education elected Col. E. H. Aull county superintendent of education of Newberry county to fill out the unexpired term of Prof. J. S. Wheeler, resigned. Entering upon his work .January 1, 1912, Mr. Aull has given energetic, intelligent, constructive attention to the duties of the office. His experience as a public school /eacher and ,a professor in Newberry college gives him a clear understanding of educational jjx v/ui^iuo^ anu a ui uau liipanij' >yiu<educational workers. His work during the last 'eight months has been marked with signal successes in the voting of school bonds, in the improvement of school buildings, in the establishment of s high school at Whitmire, and in th'i introduction of constructive plans for consolidation, transportation, and local taxation in several other districts. His clear report shows careful attention to the bookkeeping of his office. This statement is given for such use as Mr. Aull cares to make of it, be waujsc i pieetsure m saying mat his services and successes as county superintendent, though surprising, have been none the less agreeable to me as State superintendent of education.

She Was in a Hurry. * "Lnnriflv "Rvstanrier At a lecture a well-known authori- j ty on economics mentioned the factj that in some parts the number of men j was considerably largef than that of; women, and he added, humorously: i "I can, therefore, recommend the la-; dies to emigrate to that part of the j world." A young lady seated,in one of the! last rows got up, and full of indigna- ; tion, was leaving the room rather i noisily, whereupon the lecturer re--; marked: "I did. not mean that it need be; done in such a hurry as that." The 3Iai? Thing. Arnoiw Bennett, the English ro* ! mancer, was much impressed in New York by the beauty of the girl stenographer. "It isn't your actresses or your society belles that Td award the palm for beauty/' Mr. Bennett said at a luncheon. "It's to your stenogra-; pliers." "I won't say it's their beauty alone that gets these girls their positions, i but I'll tell you a story. "A male stenographer was talking j about a girl who had displaced him. "Is she really an expert?" his liste asked. "'Oh, no,' was the reply; 'but she's as expert as you'l rx;,ect a girl of, er Laauty to be.'" I < Ol M Y CAMPAIGN OF 1912 BROUGHT TO CLOSE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) ture in -this regard. He defended the legislature against charges of extravagance, giving figures he has cited* elsewhere during the campaign. He said the general assembly had been ! economical, wise and progressive ia I its legislation. He said he was accountable only to the people he repre- j sented for the manner in which he discharged the duties of his high office. He was applauded as he closed. Mr. N. W. Workman, candidate fo* the house, said he had not criticized the records of the old delegation, bar that he was running on his own merits. He said the State was in a pretty bad condition along many lines, but rlie was not here discussing political i conditions in the State, that he thought | i.he people were competent to take care of themselves and of the State. He gave his platform on roads and aaVjaaIo \irli TV?a IJoro 1 ^ onH \TOH'C IjV/UV/VlU, n UILU x UC XXV/i Uiu UUV4 ? fc/ has already published. He was noi 'begging the people to vote for him; they could vote for whom they pleased, and he did not want the votes of . che people unless they believed he 1 v\ ould stand for the white people of, *ti e State, and for the best interests cf South Carolina. I Mr. Woikman was applauded as he | concluded. Dr. C. T. \yyche spoke of his deep j appreciation of the support of the peo! pie of Newberry county in the past i He said he had been accused by one : of his competitors of jumping from nn? tViincr trt onnfhar Wo nrrfulH 9 1 _ VWV V?/ 0,UVW"V*. **v Wf* j ways jump from a position which was wrong. He had been an advocate of the old State dispensary, because he believed it the best solution of the lij quor problem for the State, but he had I left it and went against it when corruption and stealing entered into its affairs. "I want to say to Mr. Evans ; that I did not go to the legislature and ijump into another job, as he' did, jwhere'he made money, and for a man | of that kind to characterize me as a jumping jack is absurd on its face." i He replied to the charge by Mr. Ev? ? ? x_ *-u ~ aus as iu 111& vine uu wie ocpaiaic| coach law, as stated in- Dr. Wyche's jcard in the last issue of The Herald and News. He said the legislature had been accused of increasing the salary of every State officer, and "I tell you this is false;" that the legislature had been accused of increasing the salaries of judges, and "I tell you this j is false." He- vigorously defended the legislature and the delegation on expenditures, cited his record, told of his experiences in early life*, and wanted to be returned to the house because be believed he could be of service to the people. He called especial attention to bis service as chairman of the education committee^ Whoever was v3lected governor, h^ said, so long as he was in the legislature he .was going to vote for the best interests of the people as he saw them. Dr. Wyche closed amid applause. Mr. Jno. Henry Chappell, candidate for the house, said he was so hoarse he would not try to speak, but a "little aristocrat on the street"" had said fVhflnnplT had been all over the conntv saying things and he ("the little aristocrat") wanted to see what Chappell would do when he got to Xewberry today. He said South, Carolina wa? today in as bad or worse fix than in the days of Scott and Chamberlain. Then claims had to be discounted and ^sometimes very little could be realized on them. One of the speakers sairt he had helped place Xewberry county on a cash basis, "but take a claim on the county to the clerk, Henry HoIIoway, today, and see if you can get the money. What is the trouble? " TT _ - t t i.1 I propose to tell you. tie cnargea me legislature with squandering the people's money and with voting in the' interest of the rich and against the interests of the poor. He gave his platf9rm along the same lines as at previous * meetings. He said the "harge had been made against him Miat. he opposed education. "I deny j it." he said; "the only education I am opposed to is taking the white people's j money to educate the infernal free1 nes:ro." and he onlv wanted to take! " enough money from the higher insti-| tution's to run the common school? j eight months. He attacked the Mur- j ray winding-up commission, and its! expenditures, and said the present dis- ! pensary commission was the dirtiest! i commission in the history of the State, j | Mr. Chappell said he had- been aj "thorn in the flesh" to some of those in this campaign, and when he got to Columbia he was going to be a "thorn in the flesh" to some of the old aristo- j crats down there. His "chill and fever joke,v gained him cheers. H<a oommended Gov. Blease and his administration, and scored Sector Tillman for his l1th-hour attack or T~ I 1 a?e. He also was given applause at til" -J I 9 | close of his address. The candidates for county superin! tendent of education agreed that as * i the hour was lafe they would not ad- * dress the audience unless the audience expressed a desire to hear the views of these gentlemen upon any question. County Chairman Hunter thanked the candidates for their courtesy to them, the people of the county for their respectful and courteous attention during the campaign, and ad- % * journea the county campaign party of 1912 sine die. [ >cnairman Hunter announced that ' | Mr. H. 0. Long, candidate for tbe ~ \ house, was unable to be present ou. account of a business engagement. SPECIAL NOTICES.
