Even then people addressed mail to Mr. Eaekiel SitJithers, "Atlantic Crast,'* and expected I?en to know jusr where Zeke Jived. Perhaps they had Zeke's address in letters up in the garret, maybe a chest full of 'em, but then it was easier to let Hen hunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters to John Smith. New York. N Y., or Chicago, 111., thinking Uncle Sam can locate him, which is just as incomplete as was Zeke's address of yore. The Postoffice Department asks you to put the number and street in the address.

Aiken, April 25.?Padgett, Westbury and Lyles, the trio arrested in an Augusta hotel following the passage of forged checks on three Aiken banks some weeks ago, and who, after preliminary hearings, were held for the grand jury, will go on trial next week during the spring term of court of general sessions, convening A ii-on np\*t Mondav. Of the trio hi ? ^ the two latter, Westbury arid Lyles, have been in jail here since their arrest. Padgett succeeded in making bond and is at liberty. The trial of these men will attract much interest because of the fact that other charges of a similar nature are pending against them in various places in South Carolina and Georgia. The Bank of Western Carolina, the j Farmers & Merchants' bank and the First National bank of Aiken were victimized by two men who succeeded in getting several hundred dollars on ? .. i skillfully forged checks. WestDury and Lyles have been identified by employees of these banks as the two men who passed the checks and secured the money. Padgett has been identified as having been seen in Aiken a I I day or two before the checks were j | passed and stands charged with con | spiracy. Judge H. F.

Byrnes earned his salary 'today. As result of his single handed , fight conferees on the part of thq 'house and senate struck from the api j propriations bill in favor of the shipping board an item which would have permitted thj shipping board to make juse of an unexpended balance of $30. , 000,000. The original request of the ! board was that it be granted an api propriation of $100,000,000. The director of the budget, Gen. C. G. i Dawes, approved the request and then i the shipping board, in addition, asked I that it be permitted to expend a balI f n ; + c -a mr?n r>f in or tn $30 - I 000,000. Mr Byrnes took up the fight at that . point. He argued that the request of the board would circumvent a law which required that all unexpended balances be placed in the treasury, . and that the request was out of order. His point was sustained. But j the senate agreed to the request of the shipping board. When this agreement was brought before the house ! Mr. Byrnes renewed his fight and the.house formally voted a disagree ment with the senate. The matter at issue was the subject of a struggle in conference. Announcement tonight that the con| ferees had accepted the verdict of the ! house gave Mr Byrnes a complete victory. He has saved the government $30,000,000, it is pointed out, and has i more than earned his salary. H. W. R. MEJi !
