[ The trouble is, or seems to be, that the route covers too much territory, making for a carrier a daily trip of over sixty miles. The route has been without a carrier for several weeks and while Postmaster Stackley is doing everything1 he can to get a carrier the federal authorities should take steps to shorten the route.

N. HAMMET, Supervisor o Trying to Get Rid of the Negro A long article in the New York Evening Post under a Philadelphia date line describes what is now happening to the negroes who went north in (he past two or three years, attracted by the high prices then being paid for war work, and gaily shaking the dust of the South from their feet forever. Their present plight is axactly what their friends foretold. At Coatsville, Pa., where many negroes were employed in the great steel plants, these negroes, to whom the promise of long employment had been made by the agents who enticed them North with assurance of high wages and free transportation both ways, are now without work and without funds, hated and despised not only by their fellow laborers but a'so by the authori-1 tics, State and local. They are looked upon as vagabonds and criminals and tm>^dstomary thing is to seize one charge or another,drive them to the southern" limits of the town and order them to "head south." This is the pictyre as it is drawn by one of the Northern newspapers which has been most consistent in its championship of the negro's interests. To appreciate it correctly one must, as the President would say, have the setting. The present condition in which the negroes who hurried North in the exodus of two years ago find themselves is bad enough in itself, but what makes it harder for them is the contrast with the prosperity of the negroes who stayed in the South, especially the negroes who stuck to the farm, worked hard and saved their money. What the New York Evening Post >ught to do is to send one of itscorIjgspondents into this section to report on the situation here in comparison with the situation as it has iescroed it at Coatsville.?News and o rK& RECORD FILES REPLY TO BETHEA 1 The Record, an afternoon paper of Columbia, and R. Carlton Wright, of j Columbia, its publisher and editor, j nade an answer last Friday in the ( ;uit of Major Andrew J. Bethea, of ; Columbia, for $100,000 against them i *i/i- alleged malicious libel. 1 Major I?etf*ea based his suit on a ] cries of articles published in The i j Record which charged that he did j1 lot have a right to don the uniform |i >f a major in the United States j irmy, as he was in inactive status ind that he was made to "disrobe" j jy an crmv officer at Camp Jact- j >on. The allegations Major Bctn?a j lenied, claiming that The Record's Articles Atre unfounded and held , iim up to ridicule and scorn. In its return today The Record llleges that it had authentic information on which to base its charges and that it thought it was its duty to let the people know about Major Bcthea as he had been in public life and it is understood contemplated running for Governor. The return further stated that while Major Bethea last summer was campaigning for Governor, other men of his age were donning the khaki. It allegedalso that Major Bethea was a young man and unmarried. Major Bethea for four years up to January 14 of this year was Lieutenant Governor of the Stale. . ? - } J I \ m | !lfci iii .=mmig&.iafn |;| 31 ^ How I The g | to i (|i!! }> "TUST how long f I rested depends | %J you sleep.

"When I began taking Dreco I was in awful shape; after eating my stomach would ache, swell up and get hard as a rock. I was never able to get any breakfast at all. My liver was dull and I had dizzy spells, foul breath and bad taste in my mouth. My kidneys were out of order, which ?ave me pains in my back and rheumatism of the joints. I have taksn two bottles of Dreco and my pains are all gone now*. I eat three big meals every day, and never have those, stomach pains. The dizzy spells have ceased and I sleep fine. Dreco is great," are the words of Mr. M. C. Bryant, 128 Crescent ave., Spartanburg, s. c. Dreco is compounded from the juices and extracts of medicinal roots, herbs, barks and berries. There is no doubt about the value of this great medicine for stomach disoru-o-ilr Iriflnovs slrnrensh liver. constipated bowels, nor for cleans'* in# the blood of poisons and impu-' rities, thereby eradicating rheumatism and catarrh. Scores of people have testified to its merits; many of them after all other remedies and doctors had failed to help them, and all declared Dreco had restored their health. Dreco is now sold by all good druggists throughout the country and is especially recommended in Kingstree by the Kingstree Drug Company. o?: The new county of Allendale ljeld its first primary election Tuesday much interest was manifested. .Only 685 votes were polled in the cojuntv. / . /T\ \mj i Jjpyj ^111 Much Sh treat common sense o) d when you're tired; i j it takes to get '"T^HE Simmor on how "deep" J. noiseless.
