[News and Courier, Feb. 6.] To thfi Editor of The News
We publish to-day a letter and Courier: 1 have just read
froma well-known business man in The News and Courier two
of Darlington, giving a woful resolutions proposed by the
picture of the condition of the Stateburg Sub-Alliance in which
postoffice at that place. It Senator Stokes, president of the
appears from his statement that State Alliance, is endorsed as
the floor of the post office is “zealous and faithful to the
covered knee-deep with papers, Order.’ '
among which have been found ^ ill ll' e members of that Sub

allowed to handle the mail and tions:

The Darlington Postoffice. * A Clerical Caning.
To the Editor of The News Palestine, Tax., February :i.
and Courier: It is doubtful if —At a series of meetings held
any town in the United States here in November last the Rev.
ever had a postoffice administer- Sam Jones, of Cartersville, Ga.,
ed so completely in the interest excited much comment and cn-
of the people as was the post-
office here under Mrs. Law’s
administration. This conscien
tious lady, (for lady by birth
and breeding and true Christian
woman she is,) kept the office
open continuously from 7 A. M
until such hour midnight, if
thusiasm, both for the large
number of conversions he effect
ed for various religious denomi
nations and for the vigorous
manner in which he assailed
sinners in general and several
individuals in particular.
Among the latter who were,
Wouldn't know where to com
mence to look. Haven't touch
ed the papers yet.”
The cause of this deplorable
state of affairs is said to ' e the
removal of a competent Demo
cratic postmaster and the ap
pointment of an utterly incom
petent Republican, who took
possession of the office <>u Satur
day last, since which time
pandemonium has n igned there
in, and doubtless, although the
correspondent does not so state,
there ha ; been much wailing
and gnashing of teeth and n<>
end of expletives in the streets,
stores and homes of Darlington.!
We arc truly sorry for the;
people of Darlington, ami regret
sincerely the annoying compli
cations which myst arisi
the wrong delivery of money
letters or love letters, as the
case may he, and more especially
are we sorry for the business
men and politicians, who must
fall several days behind the rest
of the world through not being
able to get the newspapers
for which they have sensibly
subscribed. Rut, frankly, we do
not see who is to he blamed, or
how the unfortunate state of
affairs is to he remedied before
March 4, 1893.
Let us look at the mfitter dis
passionately, and let not our
Darlington readers wax wroth.
It will not do to he too hard on
poyr old Mr. Gatlin, the new
postmaster. He has doubtless
been voting the Republican
ticket for years with long de
ferred hope of being rewarded Dire
therefor, and now that the re
ward has come in the shape of
the. Darlington postoffice, and
what is to Mr. Gatlin probably
a very fat salary,’ it is not rea
sonable to expect that he would
decline it, even if he were a ware
of his own incompetence and
unfitness for the position. We
do not hylieve that the old fel
low had any conception of the
dutiesof a postmaster. It seem
ed to him an easy enough matter
to poke letters and papers
through a hole in the wall, and
even now we are sure he expects
to “get used to the thing.” He
is evidently a very obliging old
man, and if he cannot help the
people of Darlington to their
letters'and papers, why, he lets
them help themselves. What
more would yort have ? He easy
with Mr. Gatlin.
But, say the people of Dar
lington, we are not quarrelling
with Mr. Gatlin. D is the post
office department that ought to
know better than to appoint so
in o npetent a person to so re
sponsible a position. But what
w<p’> the postoffice department
to do ? Toevery vacancy it must
meeting of Non-Alliance men
from which Alliance men are
excluded, and with them ballot
for a candidate for the United
States Senatorship? '
is not treason the opposite of
loyalty?
Are the me mbers of the Statf
burg Sub-Alliance ignorant
the fact that Senator Stokes in
the Cotton Plant of December
37, 1890, assumed the sole re
sponsibility for this act?
Do the members of that Sub-
Alliance commend and endorse
him as “zealous and faithful to
the Order” because of this act?
Do tlje members of that Sub-
Alliance not know that Alliance
men should no more go into a
meeting of Non-Alliance men
from than they should admit Non-
Alliance men into their meet
ings when Alliance interestsare
involved ?
necessary—as the mail, due at sharply rebuked bv tin* Evan
gelist was Mayor ,1*. J Ward, to
whose official and private char
acter he alluded in the severest
and most pointed terms. The
mayor was absent from the city
at the time and the announce
ment that the well .known evan
gelist would he here again to
deliver his lecture, “Getthere,"
caused much excitement and
there was a rush for seats.
Jones arrived on Receiver Bon
ner's special ear at 8 last night
and the lecture <Cas delivered
before a large audience in the
Opera House.
At the station this morning,
jqst before the evangelist took
the train for the West, Mayor
Ward was seen approaching.
Uttering a few words the mayor
then vigorously attacked Jones
with a cane. In the struggle
the cane changed hands and f lie
mayor received several blows.
Before[the bystanders could part
the angry combatants heavy
bruises were inflicted and both
hied profusely. In a few min
utes the train pulled out of the
8.:io P. M., was distributed and
delivered to those who waited
fur it. Courtesy, a u d even
kindness, to all, the vilest as
well as the most refined, was
the rule of the office.
On Saturday afternoon Mrs.
Low turned the office over to
her Radical successor, .Mr. Gat
lin. a very old and illiterate
white man, with only negro
bondsmen a straw bond. That
night he was totally incapable,
with the assistance of his son,
of even putting the letters in
the general delivery boxes, the
of alphabet apparently being Sans
crit to them. Sunday, and in
deed; ever since, in despite of
the postal laws and regulations,
dozens of people have been al
lowed to overhaul.the mail, re
gistered letters as well,and take
what they claimed for them
selves and friends, and .indeed
only in this way has even a
partial delivery of letters been
made. Registered letter have
been found on the door, tramp

appoint a Republican, and if
Darlington is like the rest of
South Carolina, and we have
no reason to believe that it is
otherwise, Republicans capable
of properly conducting a postof-
tiee are as scarce ashen’s teeth.
The few white men of intelli
gence who became Republicans
shortly after the close of the
war were after bigger game
than the average town postof
fice, and those who are still alive
are out of polities and have
something better to da. Mr
Wanamaker was limited iu his
choice to the Gatlin sortof white
man and the intelligent colored
man. Ilarlington doubtless pre
fers Mr. Gatlin to any sort of a
“nigg'r.” The Darlington
corhpiaint was an epidemic in
the South during the Republican
administrations from Grant to
Cleveland. Mr. Wanamaker
has avoided the same general
scandal oy retaining Democrats
whenever party influence would
permit him. Even in Darling
ton Mrs. Law was permitted to
retain the office until last Satur
day.
We are sorry for the people
of Darlington, but they should
console themselves with the re
flection that their suffering is
for the good of the South, Our
people need just such lessons.
If the Federal offices at the
South continued to he filled du
ring Republican administrations
by competent and popular offi
cers as they are during Demo
cratic administrations, the peo
ple would begin to think that
there is not so much difference
between the parties after all.
But it is the Gatlins who keep
•the difference impressed on the
mind and help to keep the South
solidly Democratic God bless

[Picken* Sentinel.)
Editor Hemphill, of the Abbe

case of hysterics over the pro

He claims it is a political scheme
and a boom for Hampton. The
editor of the Medium should
know better. It is not a boom
for any party or man, hut it is
a boom for the State and Col
umbia. in which every citizen
of the Stftte-should take an in
terest. It will be a great thing
for the whole State, and its
