APPOINTMENT OF POSTMASTERS.
Congressman Stevenson Discusses the
Civil Service Idea.
The Columbia State had the following
addressed to the editor of
that paper by Congressman Stevenson:
Your editorial, "Are Examinations
/Travesties?" based upon the editorial
of the Rock Hill Record, stating that
no matter how meritorious a candidate
may be proven by the examination,
he will not be named, unless he
be acceptable to the senators from
South Carolina, I think is based on
an inaccurate understanding of the
situation.
Unless there is special cause
shown, the man who makes the highest
mark in the examination will be
appointed, regardless of the wishes
of the senators or their likes and dislikes.
Then if they make it a personal
matter when it comes to the confirmation
and he is "personally objectionable"
to the senators, they can
have the appointment rejected. The
appointee does not have to be personally
acceptable to the senators,
but if the senator makes the plea
to the senate that the appointee is
"personally objectionable" he can
prevent his confirmation?and that is
nothing new. Postmasters above the
fourth-class have always had to be
confirmed by the senate, and there
are many instances where the senators
have exercised the right to have
appointments rejected on personal
grounds, but they have absolutely
nothing to say about appointments
until they are transmitted to the senate
for confirmation, and I will say
that there never has been an appointment
made in my district since I have
been in congress, which the senators
have hesitated to confirm at once and
I apprehend that there will be no
candidate for the Rock Hill office who
will find any difficulty after he passes
the inspection of the civil service
commission and the postoffice department
in being confirmed by the sen:
' ate; but I have no brief for the senate
V
tors and do not undertake to speak
for them.
The examinations are not travesties,
but are a business way of selecting
an important officer of the
government and I have not only approved
the same but have insisted on
the results being accepted in good j
faith and the winners in the examinations
being appointed and confirmed
whether personal or political friends
of mine or not, and I hope the confidence
of the country in the honesty
of the government in endeavorig to
get the highest order of talent suitable
for postmasters will not be imit
'
* paired by any misunderstanding of
the situation. '

Sandersville, Ga., June 9.?There
was something of a sensation created
by a jay bird in Sandersville Sunday
morning. The bird entered a Baptist
church and flew to the top of the interior
of the building. It uttered the
jay bird cry when it found that it
could not escape by flying upward
and would not come down low enough
to escape through the open windows
by which it had entered.
^ The morning, services had just begun
and the collection had been tak

another.
The preacher, Rev. W. A. Wray,
stated that if, the bird made another
outcry he would kill it.
At this juncture the bird said
"Jay." Mr. Wray procured a gun
loaded with small shot from the pastorium
near the church, and while
^ the congregation was engaged in
singing, he took careful aim and
killed it. The report of the gun was
not very loud, as it was of small
calibre and lightly loaded.
As'soon as the bird had been disposed
of the morning services were
resumed and Mr. Wray preached h's
sermon.
It is thought that the jay bird had
a nest near the church, as its mare
was answering its call from the outside.
The incident was the general
talk in Sandersville after it became
known what had happened,

American Buyer Brings Platinum.
Platinum worth $2,415,000, and
weighing 23,000 ounces, was recently
brought into this country, says the
June Popular Mechanics Magazine. It
traveled from Russia as the personal
baggage of a Massachusetts business
man, who had undertaken on his
own "responsibility to secure it for
the government. To this task he
gave over a year of his time without
remuneration, advanced his own
funds, overcame an uncounted number
of dangers, obstacles and hardships.
and sacrificed his health. A
tragic ending to the story of commercial
romance is supplied by his
death, four hours after his return,
from exhaustion.

OPPOSED TO FREE LOVE.
Women of Hungary Rebelled Against
Ooiranunization Law.
It was due to a family quarrel,
writes an Associated Press correspondent
from Budapest, that Hungary
escaped having its women
"communized" after the fashion in
the Russian "republic" of Sratoff,
rather than to the abhorrence of Bela
Run to the scheme, as the latter afterwards
stated. The law to com
munize women was actually framed
and in the printers' hands, ready for
publication when Herr Weltner, one
of the cabinet of bright young men.
who are now ruling the fate of the
former kingdom, went home for supper.
During the meal he told his
wife and his mother-in-law in glowing
terms about the projected reforms.
\
"What are you doing for women?'*
they asked.
Weltner then explained that in future
women would be free too; that
they, too, would be permitted to
choose their own husbands and discard
them if they liked by the simple
process of paying a few cents for a
legal paper declaring their "unfitness"
for married life. Further conversation
developed the fact that the
new law also gave husbands the same
right; that children might be turned
over to the care of the State so that
both husband ajid wife would get rid
of the duties and responsibilities of
roorino- thpir nwn nffsDring.
"Do you mean to tell me that you
can get rid of me from one day to
another and marry the next day if
you like?" demanded young Frau
Weltner.
"That's how the law stands," replied
the husband.
Then the storm broke. Both wife
and mother-in-law began to scream
and a frenzied scene followed, the upshot
of which was that the women de- '
manded that Weltner should get the
law stopped or they would leave him
at once and would, moreover, get all
the wives, mothers, and mothers-inlaw
of all the ministers to do the
same.
Weltner in the interest of his
home comfort and peace, eventually
promised to do his best to get the law
rescinded. He went to the telephone
and had a conversation with Bela
Kun and the other ministers and then
called up the printers, telling them
| that no proof needed to be "pulled"
! from the forms where the law lay. He
also ordered that the type should be
melted up and the copy destroyed. It
was thus that the law died.
Advanced to Second Class.
Walterboro, June 11.?Postmaster
C. Henderson Praser reports that he
has just received notification that the
Walterboro postoffice has been advanced
from a third class to a second
class office. This will* become
effective July 1. The gross receipts
of this office during the year ending
in June were approximately $10,000,
and the requirements for a second
class office are only receipts of $8,000.
The advancement of this office
in class will mean that the postmaster
will receive a higher salary and '
be permitted to employ more assistants.
CHESTER WOMAN ARRESTED.
Warrant Sworn Out Charging Her
With Assault on Husband.
Chester, June 14.?A warrant was
sworn out before Judge Shannon this
evening for the arrest of a wellknown
Chester county woman, Mrs. 1
Jennie Love, charging her with as- J
sault with intent to kill her husband, *
Joseph Love. It is alleged that while
he law asleep she poured steaming
hot water on him, painfully and severely
burning him. He was brought
to Pryor's hospital for treatment,
j Mrs. Love says that some one broke
into the home and drenched her husband
with the water and that she
also was burned. The couple have
six children. They live in Turkey
Creek section.
Everything around home has become
too high for belief. Now hotel
rates have gone up, and many a man
has lost his last refuge from home.

Woolworth had more than 1,000

He had many imitators, but no real

The pride of his life was the Woolworth

It is the greatest temple of business
