NICHOLLS IS BUSY AT WORK Is Now Engaged In a Contest with the Postofice Department. Opposed to Change inI Rural Routes. Washington, Dec. 13.-Representa tive Sam J. Nicholls, the new member of. congress from the fourth distict, has entered upon his duties with snal) rnd zeal, and is already finding that he will have a lot of work to do. Just now he is engaged in a contest with the postoilice department. A few days ago the department an nounced its intention of installing a number of rural routes to be served with automobiles in Spartanburg. The plan contemplatea the consolidation of two routes, now served by two men with two vehicles, and having one man with an automobile cover the two. The department recognizes that th1e reads in Spartanhurg county are not at good as they might be, but be licvcs that an anutomoblic can be used without difMCulty for at l1t 0ine month mn the -car. 'The Ipreent car ic:; got $1,2005 each, and the depart mnt lmroses; to consolidato two rcutc:; !Id !)ay ofn ma5'n $1,8900 a year to :;erve tih two. Th epartment fig uren that the carrier would get aLout M1,'00 a year net, and would have $,G0 with which to hir110 help in bad weather, v C! the governmn't. would 1ave OO a year by the consclhdation, and the pocple would got .n:,t as gocd service a !tv are getj.Ing now. This plan has been adopted in several states, and while the depr'.lmnt holds that the plan has worked well tl'era Is some evidence to 0h. con trary. l r. Nicholls is very muoh appose.l to it. IPC says it will not be pcsiW)le to use an automobile for anything like six months in Spartanburg c.oiinty, and that during the winte:r lmliotlhs the serv!ce will suffer, while cne of the present carriers will 'e ihrown out of his positIon and the (-arrIer who get.:; thl doubled-uip ro1bt w!vI nd thalt he has a pl):iitp!o that will cc::t him nio"a than he will get out of it.
