Richards, Representative of the Fifth Cangre.suional District Of South Carolina, is* vcYy ; much interested in the Use of granite in the construction of any Federal buildings'to be erected in South Carolina. The nationally known "W'inns- ; boro Blue (Jranite" is quarrimi nqar Winnsboro, South Carolina, in the: Fifth District, and no finer granite is j produced in the United States. Other J counties in his district also have un-, limited deposits" of this und other j types of granite. He has taken this : matter up personally with the sev- J oral departments, stressing the advantages in using this granite. A : few days ago, Congressman Richards j wrote.Secretary of the Interior Ickes urgently requesting the use of South , Carolina granite on South Carolina , projects, stating that iF-is, his belief ! that such action would be in direct line with the program of the Administration to help legitimate industry und the laboring class all over the country. AN APPUKCIATKD FKTTKR A gracious lady from a distant ; state found time enough to write, ! along with a remittance to The Chronicle, a personal letter to the editor which the Chronicle highly appreciates. She not only says nice things about our paper, but al-o Camden and Camden people. She forbids ouf publishing same, but we are violating her v. i.-h, and wt hopeshe' will pardon its publication, for it i -. to,, good ii"t to pass on to our reade:-. i' reads :n pftj! : "After \isiCng Cannlen. for six -uci'c >,'.( lor about six weeks stay e{l< !i '.rne.

Capital Observation. (Special Correapomlence) Washington, Fob. 13.?Postmaster Coneral Farley has issued an order, effective February" 1U, revoking all air mail contracts, thirty-four in number, entered into by previous administrations, and involving expenditures approaching $100,000,000 annually. The aetip.n ?* permisswblo under an existing law,(and is due to unmistakable evidence of collusion and fraud in securing the contracts, da developed during an" investigation hy a committee of the United States senate, headed by senator Black, of Ala-i bama- Orignally air mail was enr-n ried by army fliers, but commencing in 1020, in accordance with the policy of Republican administrations, contracts for the work were let to favoriii contractors,/ Army fliers will again take up the work, and high military authorities are enthusiastic over the opportunity, largely utilizing the services of more than 1,200 army air corps officers, whose flying time has been limited. The only regulable feature is that many civilian fliers will lose employment, but a large proportion of them are reserve army officers, and will be continued at work, under a new condition. The first rebuff likely to be encountered by President gposevelt concerning a matter of considerable import will probably be the rejection by the senate of the St. Lawrence waterway treaty. The project would be of great value to ports on the great lakes, and would afford much lower rates, especially for ocean t! an.- porta l ion, foil products of the up'M-r Mississippi valley. It would be' a serious blow to the railroads, j and detrimental to cities along the upper Atlantic seaboard. There is much opposition. the two senators r,.lim New York state, both Democrats; being aligned on the contrary -ddc. The approval .of a treaty hy the -male requires a two-thirds majority. and not near a sufficient ntintr of voles is in sight. I he piesident I- deeply interested and very desirous of favorable action. His popularity is so great that he might be able to force the acceptance of the treaty, but It is improbable that be will go to the extreme in the matter, in view of the decided opposition of a considerable number of Democratic senators, whom he would be indispo.-od to antagonize to the necessary extent. Under the extensive program for increased naval and aircraft building half of the work will he done in govern men', shipyards and the balance in private yards, the contractors to be limited to a profit of ten per cent on 1* i- -umiisod. and doubti,.-s ,oirectlv. that it was not entirely .,.r- ..f a a r fea'-s. n<>r even wholly i'ives of n: eparediu'ss that aetua. ? rat ion and congress ' ' i\e: ing -t 11 ".oc'l 'peace-time pro\n important con.-ideration 'was the economic aspect, whereby mu hi week a 111 be provided and great quantities of materials will be required This feature fits pi well with the general relief program. * Senator K. D. Smith has lost hU hat. and of all places, at a formal dinner at the White House one evening last week. When the time came to leave it was found that some one had gotten his high silk hurt, but perhaps that was better for him than getting his goat. In the ordinary -en.-e the senator does not have the 'big head, but actually he wears a big hat. Size 7 1-2, and the statesman who traded with him. presumably inadvertently. left one a fraction smaller. which does not exactly fit. At last account.* the matter had not been adju -ted. # # II mm .1 > .n- m 1 .'."era. Kepub:. an S. !.a'.or fiom aiiloM.ia. Ir1 ?' * ^ H i ? jT-v.criVH * *? ? t j * til % c ' Y* ' lt ~.v ... I-, ....

("Big John") Feemster, of Hullocks Creek township might be short thut much today. As it is lie is out $20 in cash and has* a hitter jexperience as u result. It was last Wednesday that two j strangers appeared at the home of ; Mr. Feomster. They gave thcsa,, names as A. G. Davis and W. L. Drown. They represented themselves as health census takers for the Federal government. Hut after a bit they begun to work their swindling game. Giving Mr. Feemsler the once over, one of them remarked, "You look like you are going to have a stroke of pawilysis right soon and it is lucky that we came to see you today." Mr. Feomster remarked that he had already had a stroke of paralysis, two or three years ago. Then it was that they got in their work. They asserted they could prevent a threatened stroke and alpo reieve Mr. Fee raster of his failing eyesight. They proposed that ho pay them $1,000 for what they could do for him. Mr. Feomster couldn't do that. He hadn't the money. They then asked about Liberty bonds. He lidn't have those either. They put something in his eyes? applied the lotion two or three times ?and after a time "removed" what they said was a "scum" from his eyes and by slick talk made Mr. Feomster think he could see better. Hy this time they had gotten down to a fee of $200. Mr. Feemster agreed to this and gave them a check for the $20 and a post-dated check, 30 days hence for the balance, $180. The $20 check, 1 made out "A. (J. Davis or .Hearer," i was presented at the First National Hank of Sharon on Thursday, the 8th. Assistant ("a shier Joe Hope 'questioned the payment. Cashier | ll.irtness, noting that the check w .us made "To Hearer." told him to cash ! t. The money was paid after enjdorsenu nt by Davis and he departed. | (). S. Dowdle, living on the Feemter place, but working in Greenville, icame home Saturday. Mr. Feemster told of the experience. Mr. Dowdle I aw something crooked. He came to Sharon yesterday morning and inquired at the bank if the check for j $20 had been cashed. It had been. He ordered a "stop payment" on the other check. He then came to Yorkville for consultation with Commissioner Carl H. Hart. In an hour and 'a half a department of justice man was at Sharon, and in company with Dr. Saye and Rural Officer I). J. Boyd visited Mr. Feemster and got all the facts he could. The hunt for the ;swindlers isnmv on. ' ' One of the men is described a< being about 1~> years of age, 1 10 pounds weight, dark hair, dark complexion, and were a brown suit. The other fellow is described as a six fooler. 100 to 200 pounds, light hair, ruddy complexion.' It is believed that this is the ' same pair that operated among Bullocks Creek negroes some months ago, and also to have operated in the Tirzah community sometime back.
