POSTAL EMANCIPATION.

A Plan to Get Rid of Department Red
Tape in Postofiice Expenditures.
Postmaster General Bissell's plan to place
the postal service of 10 largest cities OF the
conntry under the practical management OF
their postmastars will be a radical innova
ton in the system of the department il il is
adopted. The House Committee on Post
Offices will devote itself TO the considera.
ton OF the matter forthwith holding a
special meeting at which the postmaster
general will be invited to appear and ex.
plain the proposed change. This scheme
will involve no increased expenditures but
is simply designed TO secure an admins
lration Of the postofhces without the friction
and red tape incidental to the present sys.
lem IN which the department oversees the
exdenditures ann details OF office manage
ment
According to the explanations made by
Assistant Postmaster General Jones ii is
proposed to deduct from estimates for the
postal service the amounts which the de-
partment would probably assign to the 10
leading cities and have Congress make a
separate appropriation of a certain sum for
each one This money would be at the
command OF the several post masters to
draw upon and utilize as they saw fit, t,giving
TO them the same power held by the man
ayers OF private business concerns.
The postmaster general favors 1t because
i will relieve the department Of much
Troublesome work without putting addition
al burden on the postmasters.

A DTABuLICAL PLOT.
Four Brutal Candidats for Hanging
Rec

Bee.
On Sunday, May 9th, the wife Of
a we'll known Lutheran minister of
Boiling Springs township, went to
visit her mother. who resides some
miles from her home. 1t was in the
evening when she returned. Know
ing that it would be late before she
arrived at her home her uncle de-
cided to accompany her. In so do
ing henious crime was prevented.
Before the lady and her escort
reached her home they found that
the road had been barricaded by
trees, stumps and other things. An
investigation revealed that a number
of barefooted boys had built the bar
ricaded. Further investigation led
to some startling revelations. These
revelations exposed plot which had
been formed to intercept the lady on
her return to her home and to crimi
nally assault her. In pushing the
investigation it was learned that
sometime previous to tn S plot had
been formed by the same parties to
commit the assault upon the lady
but from some cause the plot was
frustrated.
Two negro boys were arrested Oh
suspicion, but in giving such a
plausible tale of their whereabouts
they were released.
George Taylor another negro boy
was also suspect of being implicated
the plot, and had left the section and
gone to Columbia.
The police authorities of Columbia
had been notified to keep look out
for him and On Wednesday he was
arrested and brought to this place,
and lodged in Jail, where he now is.
Since the incarceration of Taylor
it has besn learned that the two boys
first arrested, and a negro woman
who had an ill-will towards the lady
on account of difficulty about some
washing, were concerned in the at
tempted outrage.
The probability is that all the par
ties will be arrested as parties are
looking it up.
