I im TILL 1AT1 SOME FAT JOBS I CIVIL SERVICE Joseph T. Johnson, of Tkkt State, Expresses Himself Very PUlnly on the Metier, Saying The! > the Present System Is a Mere Re* BODY HAS BEEN FOUND DISCOVERED IN ASHLEY RIVER NEAR A RICE MILL. t A LEAF FROM PAST -S—— SENATOR Nt’LAIIRIN TO STAND' ARD OIL MAGNATE The WMhlngton correspondent of and Courier says since the party began its sixteen years of uninterrupted control of the ndidaistratlon la 1S97 it has set up a system of examination for appll cants for positions In the consular sefvtee. The impression has been geneyally mada. therefore, that the consuls are un&er civil service regu lattons, like the clerical forces of the various Government departments. The fact Is that the consular pldces are in the Presidential class, and no offlce that is filled uhder the Constitu tion by Executive nomination can t>e brought within the compulsory oper ation of the civil service without an amendment of the Constitution Itself. Examinations may be required to fix Ml list of ellgiblee if the President Is willing, and such a system affect ing appointments and promotions of consuls was created by an order uf President Roosevelt in 1908. Hut aay succeeding President can disre gard or abrogate this system at will. Representative Joseph T. Johnson, of South Carolina, one of the present Democratic leaders in Congress, had this to say when the matter was men tioned to him: “The Republican papers and a good many of the Democratic papers are urging that the consular service should uot be disturbed by tho In coming Wilson administration, stress ing ths alleged fact that this servlcs has been taken out of politics and la under the classified or civil service regulations and should there remain. ‘‘Such statements are amusing i can understand why the Republican papers are so anxious to maintain ths status quo; but 1 am surprlsei! that any Democratic paper should fall into the trap I believe strongly I'1 the .- \ ' h"t ! \ . pi,Cl 1j* ■ .U.il Ji - . i i' ’ • ri >•.• anon i Im f' -ii a.an. . suit and consular agents of the I'nit- •d States. The compensation ranges from $2,000 to 01 2,000 a year. At a time when every consular of flce probably was filled by a Republi can ths Republican Administration mads a pretense of taking the con sular service out of politics and put ting It on the merit system Kince that time a few Democrats from the Southern Stales have been permitted to stand very rigid examinations as to tbsir scholarship, and where the* passed successfully have been ap pointed to some of the consulates of ths lowest grade For Instance, from South Carolina. Dreher, Haskell. Cook and Jenkins have been appointed to $2,000 poets, which is the minimum salary. After a year or two in these undesirable plaoee, two or three of these men have been promoted. Dreher, Has kell and Jenkins have been advanced to $2,500; Cook remains at |2,ooo. It would be many, many years before any of these Democrats of the low grade could ever reach any one of the high and desirable places. If the Re publicans who now flu them are per mitted to remain until they die out. *’I think President Wllsen would be perfectly Justified in upsetting such a partisan, unfair and sectional arrangement. If the places had not all been filled in the most partisan and sectional manner it would be all right to take the consular service out of politics aad place it upon merit. But one serious objection to the form of examinations that have been con ducted hero in Washington is that the examinations require men of very high literary attainment, and would bar some of the very best business men in South Carolina. How many of the very best business men In South Carolina, who could bo instru mental in extending our foreign trade, can apeak fluently two lan guages? And yet that is one of the prerequisites to appointment as con sul. “It may be of Interest to you to know who fill the most important consular offices. Let me give you the posts, their respective salaries, the persons who fill them and the States they hail from in the consular ser vice in the grades from $5,000 a year up to $12,000 & year: Londan, $12,000, Griffiths, New York State.

Thomas was solved at midnight Monday night by the find ing of his body in the Ashley River, Just off the wharf of Chisolm’s Mill. The body was in a neml-decomposed condition, but was identified by a rel ative of 'Mr. Thomas* without any trouble. Mr. Thomas was last seen in life at about 11.20 o’clock Saturday morning. His hat and overcoat were found on the edge of the Boulevard Saturday afternoon, giving rise to the theory of suicide. Searching parties had dragged the Ashley River con tinuously in vain until midnight Mon day night, when two men from the Navy Yard, venturing out from Chis olm’s Mill in the bare chance of find ing the body, hooked it while taking soundings at the last moment before coming in. The two men who round the body stated that they had gone out with little hope of finding it, not even knowing of the reward of $:!0'l that was offered for it. They were talk ing soundings in thirty feet of water a short distance from the head of the wharf. A large hook had been fas tened on either side of the sounding lead. Suddenly the hooks stnnk something and when haul'd m it was found to be the body If was taken Into the boat and giv en attention, notice being sent mean while to tiie family of the dead man, to the coroner and to the J. M Con- nelley undertaking establishment. A relative of Mr. Thomas hastened to the spot and quickly identified the body. Mr. A Chambliss Connelley arrived soon after to take charge of the body under permission from Cor oner O'Donnell. While there Is nothing to prove definitely that the death of Mr Thomas waa a case or suicide, . xery- thing points strongly to this fact th» hat and overcoat, when found on the Boulevard, were rarcfully laid aside In addition to this, it is understood ■on reliable atiihorltv that before leriv- I Ing home on Saturday.

Standard OH letters being pub lished by William Randolph Hearat in Hearst.’fl Magazine are getting more interesting to South Carolinians because they are coming closer home. After disposing of Joseph Sibley, of Pennsylvania, a member of the House of Representatives, and Boise Pen rose, a former senator from the same state, and after showing their rela tions with the great trust, Mr. Hearst pointed out how the Standard Oil people were endeavoring to control legislation and how large donations were made to campaign funds. Collier's Weekly branded these Hearts letters as forgeries, but on the Article by the Hon of One of Them In the Newspapers Brought the Two Together, The State says in a month or so Rev. C. E. Weltner, pastor of St Luke's Lutheran church, Olympia vil lage, will have as a visitor his broth er, Henry Weltner, whom he has not until recently heard of since 1 870. A romance arises out of the coming meeting of the two brothers, brought about by a newspaper article written by a son of one and read by a son of tiie other Henry Weltner, aged, then, about 16 years, left Germany in 1 868 and came to America. In 1870, longing for his native land and his loved ones, he paid them a flying visit. A week or so later he left Germany again for this country and up to six months ago had never been seen or heard from. In the meantime Rev. C. E. Welt ner had come to this country, locat ing in New York, thence moving to Augusta in 1 893 and to Columbia in 1 906. He married in New York.
