Harper Pickcns, for more than forty
wears the body servant Of Governor
Pickcns, died few days ago at the ad-
vanccd age of ninety. Such was the
fidelity and love he bore his master
that during the time that Governor
pickins was minister To Russia he took
entire control Of the Governors planting
interests. and such was the confidence
placed in him by his master that il is
said the Governor would never make a
change in his planting operations with
out consulting Harper, and that on one
occasion while In Congress some question
pertaining 10 national affairs came up for
the Governors decision, and being
somewhat perplexcd as 30 the true solu-
tion Of the matter, he instinctiycly called
Tr Harpcr's advice.

man, in Pickens county fortnight ago

Lynching offenders Of this class is
common in this State, but heretofore the

THE county seat question VIII
enter largely into Polk county
politics this year. The people Of the
south end want the county
scat located at Independence and
the people Of the north end want 1t
left right where it is, at Dallas. A
new iail and court house are sadly
needed in Polk comfy; but owing
to this sectional matter no county
court can be elected that is pledged
TO build them at Dallas. The people
Of the south end will probably try
to elect a legislative ticket that Will
be i'm favor Of an enabling act' to
bring the matter before the people
at a special election. For the good
Of Polk county politics and for the
general prosperity Of the county, we
would like to see this veXed ques-
ton settled once for all.

SECRETARY Villas rendered a de
cision in a land case a few days ago,
which will be of interest and COM
fort TO homestead settlers. The
settler in question was absent all
summer after making the first settle
ment: was again absent all the next
summer, applying the proceeds OF
his labor to improvement of his
claim. The third year he was away
from spring till January, to earn
more money to pay on the land.
Because Of these long absences, the
commissioner rejected the proof, but
the secretary reverses this decision,
and directs that a patent be issued.

nae service M-st he Inproved.

In an article on THE Mail Service in this
{ Division" the Charleston Negs and Courier
says: ''If the mail service in this division
Is as bad as asserted, then complaint should
be made to the Postmaster General, and. If
he cannot rectify it, appeal can be made TO
Congress. Inquiry should precede con
demnation, 1T all events And isolated or
selfish complaints should net be made pre-
text for indiscriminate condemnation Of
highly important department Of the gov
eminent
The Ne,cs aud Courier could hardly have
read what the MORNING NEWS said alb ut
the mail service in this division, or it would
not have been so prompt in offering its ad-
vice. The MORNING News was careful TO
state that the complaints of bad mail service
were of long standing, and that the proper
officers had been appealed to time and time
again for remedy Of the things complained
Of The Superintendent of the Railway
Mail Service came from Washington to
examine into the complaints and
found they were well founded
I The chairman of the Committee
on Post Offices and Post Reads has been
asked to assist in having the mail service
improved Other Congressman have been
asked to use their influence in the interest
Of better service, and tne Post Office De
partment has received notification after
notification that the people in this section Of
the South were being embarrassed and
annoyed by an inexcusably bad service
Was it possible to do more than thisl After
having done all Of this without getting any
relief what was there left to do but to tell
the Post Office Department that it was not
proving itself equal to its duties and re-
sponsibilitiesi There comes a time when
patience ceases 10 I've a virtue, and it is GER
tain that thu patience of the people in this
section with the mail service is exhausted
The authorities in Washington know
where the trouble is, but they lack the
backbone to apply the remedy. In order
to have a good mail service it is necessary
to have not only thorough organization, but
also men sufficient in number and thoroughly
competent and Wiling to discharge their
duties. If men are appointed through favor
rather than for fitness, asd if their wishes
and interests rather than the good of the
mail service are consulted a first class SER
vice is not possible.
The people of this country are going to
have a good mail service. Their Interest,"
are too great and their time too precious 10
be bothered, month after month, by delayed
and irregular mails. The money necessary
to provide a good service is supplied. If
those who have the management of the
service cannot do what the people want
they must step aside and let those who can
take their places. The MORNING News be-
lieyes that the Democrats can give the
country as good mail service as the Repub-
licans did, and better, but they have not
done it yet in this part of the country. If
the present administration of the Post
Office Department wants TO retain its popu-
larity it has got 70 improve the mail SER
vice, and the sooner it begins the work the
better the people will be satisfied.
