Washington, Dec. 10.?The South Carolina delegation upon invitation of Senator Tillman met in his office this morning and agreed upon a general Mne of Dolicv in regard to South Carolina appointments. It was the understanding that as nothing could be done until they saw President-elect Wilson, the senators should comer witn .\ir. Wilson as soon as practicable to learn his policy. Plan oi Procedure. If Wilson agrees to have the senators and representatives from the State control the patronage then the rule to be followed will &e this: All the postmasters will be designated by the congressmen in their respective districts, provided that 110 postmaster; shall be named who is personally ob-j jectionable to either of the senators; the collectors o? the ports will be recommended in the same way; the United States marshal and district attorney j will be designated by the senators af-! ter conferring with the delegation. ! Naming of Postmasters. It was the opinion of the delegntion that President-elect Wilson should be j urged to rescind the executive order issued by President Taft placing all fourth-class postmasters under the civil service, for the reason that in the South this opens wide the door to j negroes and they believe this order J was issued for the purpose of perpet-' uating Republicans" in office. ! I The members of the delegation whoj attended the conference in Senator j i Tillman's office were himself and Sen-! ^ I ator E. D. Smith and Representatives j Finley, Johnson, Lever and Byrnes, j Representatives Aiken and Legare are not in Washington, but are Imderstood to be satisfied' with the delegation's asx'ceu-iciii. i Ragsdale Enters Kick. Representative Ellerbe is in the city, but did not attend the conference, although Mr. J. W. Ragsdale, who has been elected to succeed him for the i next term, was on hand and participated in the discussion. Mr. Ragsdale is dissatisfied with some of the noiui- ; nations for postmasterships which have been made in the 6tll district on 3 Mr. Ellerbe's recommendation, and j "wants their confirmation held up. 1 TILL>14\ >VA>TS A "REMINDER." !

"pitch-fork wielder" suddenly be-i thought him that a chance was offered! to take expert advice on a subject which has been disturbing* the senator's restless mind for some months. "Mr. Shuey," said Senator Tillman j with characteristic intensity of manner, "do you know of any machine on the dictagraph order which I can talk to at night, when I wake up and think of something I wish to attend to the next day, and which will tell me about it when I press the button in the morning? Mrs. Tillman has rebelled at getting up and making memoranda for me in the middle of the night, as well as at being awakened merely for the purpose of being asked to remind me of things; and I must have some machine which I can use in this way and rely on." Mrs. Tillman, who was present, 1 1- - i 1 XJI? J J _ ~ ^ iaugiiea uearuiy anu maue nv uunai of her objection to sacrificing her sleep to act as a dictagraph for her husband.
