flKE RECOMMENDED FOR SPARTANBURG P.O. Former Luurens Comity Man Geta Postofflce at Spartanburg after Warm Contest Between Others. ?Stiartanburg, April 24.?Congress man Joseph T. Johnson, who returned to Spartanburg from Washington yes terday, announced after listening pa tiently in his law ofllco for sovoral hours to tho claims of various candi dates for tho postmastorship of this olty, as presented by their friends, that ho had decided to recommend Plcrro 11 Plko, city editor of Tho Herald, and until recently Mr. Johnson's secre tary, for appointment to the position. Tho announcement was as much of n surprise to Mr. Fiko as to anybody olso, as ho had not solicited tho honor and had not been mentioned In connec tion with the postmnstershlp. Mr. Johnson's decision whb receiv ed with general satisfaction, how over, and will doubtless end what ever of rancor may hnve entered tho contest for tho place. Mr. Pike has been engaged In nowspaper work in Spartanburg for 12 years, and Is acquainted, perhaps, with mumi' people in tho city than any other Minn, Ills ni|fi?Mlng courtesy and fair dealing bftVC won for blm the QBteern of,all who know him. II? ^was connected with The Herald for ton years before he accepto dtho po sotlon of secretary to Mr. Johnson, and returned to this newspaper only last Monday, giving up his desirable OOOlip?ttQn 1,1 Washington in order thul-i'/T ittlghl I'Osltlfl !n Bimrlanburg, hl? home town. Native of I,aureus County. Mr. Plko is almost 10 yenrs old. lie was Dorn In I.aurens county nnd at tended Wofford college. Ho has spent most of Iiis life in Spartanburg and is familiar with the needs of tho city. That, ho will make one of tho most efilolont postmasters that Spartanburg has over had Is confidently predicted bty those who SHOW him. W. II. Dllllngham, W. P. Young, aaslstant postmaster. .1. II. Carlisle, Kbor Allen and It. .1. (iantt were among those prominently niontloned as candidates for the postmastershlp, after Postmaster W. M. Floyd with drew from the contest. Messrs. 1)11 llngham and Young were the strong est oandidatOS. .Mr. Johnson at hrst recommended -Mr. Dllllngham for the place, at the sumo time promising Mr. Young an honorable and lucrative po sition in the postal service from which ho would have an opportunity to advance t<? a pined even higher than the Spartanburg postmastershlp. Factional feeling between the friends of Messrs, Dllllngham and Young ran so high, however, that Mr. Dllllngham released Mr. Johnson from his prom* . iso to buvo him from embarrassment Mr. Johnson then decided to com? to Spartanburg in person, sound the Sentiment of tin- Olty, and take such EtOtlon in tho matter as seemed most advisable. The selection of Mr. Flke was the outcome. The appointment will bo for a four* yeur term. Mr. Floyd's term will ex pire within a few flays, but It Is hardly likely that President Wilson will immediately appoint Mr. Pike. Tho president, Mr. Johnson said, has beertng moving slowly In many of hlfl appointments. The COUrSG of proce dure Is for the president tr> make the appointment, after which . is sent to tho senate for confirmation. The Spartanburg postmastershlp pays $3, 100 a year. Mr. Johnson has post masterships to till at Woodruff, Landrmn and Inman. In this county; JoneSVlllo, In Colon county, and I.aurens, In I.aurens county. Mr. Johnson said he proposed to visit these towns and study (lie sit uation and then recommend ofr ap pointment such men as he deemed most desirable for the positions. He said thnt some of his appointees mlghl not be the men whom the people wanted, but they would be the men who he wanted. Mr. Fike was the recipient of con gratulations from hundreds of per sons yesterday after the news of Mr. Johnson's decision had been made known. The news spread so quickly ?hat he even received a telegram of ' ongratulatlons from a Spartanburg ?nslness man in New York, though ho was puzzled to know how the an nouncement had reached New York.

Washington, April 21.?When Presi dent Wilson sent tho nomination of Charles A. Woods of .Marion, associate justice of the South Carolina supreme court, to the senate this afternoon for confirmation as the successor to Nath an (Joff, judge of the Fourth United States circuit court, there was gen eral satisfaction expressed here not only by South Carolinians who know Justice- Woods, but by others who know p( his high standing and legal attainments. Of tho members of tho South Caro line delegation in congress who have spoken for Justice Woods there was but one opinion?that the president could not possibly have made a better or more satisfactory appointment. They have worked for him from tho start and never ceased to believe that he WOuld1 receive the Indorsement ot President Wilson, as tho matter ter minated today, when his nomination was made public. Senators Smith and Tlllmaft said there was little to make public re garding the matter, Kineo Justice Woods was so well and favorably known that anything they might add would be unnecessary. It Is agreed that the president has made an excellent appointment. Don't he surprised if you have an attack of rheumatism this spring.
