But at the next session there will be a
fight against the system at the very open
ing. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, Will prob
ably be in command of the anti-civil SER
vice forces. lnnumerable bills will be in
troduced, looking to the repeal or the
GRIPPING of the system. Speaker Reed is
a staunch friend of civil service, and the
civil service committee is made up OF
equally consistent civil service reformers.
Hence the purpose of the speaker and
of the committee would lie to pigeon hole
all such bills, and thus prevent action.
But this will hardly be possible. for the
speaker will find it difficult TO suppress a
bill which is urged upon him by so many
members of his own party. General Gros-
Venor believes that he will have nearly
1G0 Republicans who will sustain him in
his demand for action on an anti-civil
service bill. He will have the entire Re-
publican force in the Ohio, the Indiana
and the Illinois delegations. He will nave
all the Republicans from the South, with
the possible exception of one or two men,
bers from Maryland At the coming fall
elections, Maryland will put to popular
vote an amendment to the constitution
introducing the civil service system in
all state and municipal offices. II is a
foregone concll sion that the amendment
will be defeated by an overwhelming
vote, neither of the two parties having
indorsed it at their recent convention.
Accordingly, at least four out of the six
Maryland Republicans in the house VIII
feel themselves free to vote for an anti
civil service bill Then there will be
members from Northern, Western and
Pacific states who will rally around Gen
eral Grosvenor's standard. Should he
succeed in getting any bin antagonistic
to the civil service system before the
house he can count, of course, on the
solid support of the Democrats, and it
will thus be seen that If once the bill
comes out of committee its defeat is we'll
nigh impossible.
A majority of the senate has always
been opposed to the civil service system,
and only protracted and determined
filibuster could defeat the house bill in
the upper body. Should 1t pass and
President Mckinley veto the bill, only
the most determined application of party
discipline would prevent the passage of
the bill in the house over the veto. 1t is
because President Mckinley recognizes
the possibility that he may be confront
ed with the situation thus outlined that
he desires an opinion from the Supreme
court of the United States on the exist
ing laws.

The administration is anxious to know
the exact legal status of the present civil
service laws, because it Is well known
here that the entire civil service system
will meet, at the next session of congress,
its supreme battle for existence. 1t need
not be denied that most formidable at
tempt will be made in the house to re-
peal the present civil service laws, or
failing in the entire repeal of all the laws
to make essential notifications in the
existing rules. Heretofore the civil SER
vice system has gone through a sham
battle every year when the appropriation
for paying the expenses of the commits
sion came up in the house. Members
have made fierce speeches against the
system, intended solely for home con-
sumption. A motion to strike out the
appropriation and thus cripple the COM
mission has always rallied a strong vote
when the bill is in committee of the
whole, because then there is no record
made of the members vote. But as
soon as the same motion reaches the
house, and the threat is made that the
vote shall be taken by ayes and nays,
the opposition always dwindles down to
nothing. and the spoilsmen have been m
variably defeated

Civil Service Is
To Be HSSdiIed


washington Letter In Plttsburg Times.
The Supreme court OF the United States
will decide ere long the validity of the
present civil service system. There has
been so much contention over the exist
ing civil service laws that President Nc
Kinley is determined to settle once for
all the question of the constitutonality
of all existing laws affecting the civil ser
vice commission. Attorney General Nc
Kenna has determined that the case Of
Woods, the superintendent of the railway
mail service, stationed at Louisville, who
seeks to enjoin Postmaster General Gary
and First Assistant Postmaster Generel
Heath from removing him from Office,
shall be taken up to the Supreme court.
The case comes up in the local court next
Saturday. In the event that the case
goes against the government, it will be
taken at once to the Supreme court.
Should the government win its case then
on the first occasion OF defeat in a
similar case, an appeal will be taken and
an opinion sought from the final tribunal
of this country.

Lebanon News.

It has been some time. Mr.. Elitor,
since you have heard from the Lebanon
folks" go I will inform you of how we are
getting along.
Nearly everybody is afflicted with Ia
grippe at this writing. Some few cases
have died with 1t, while others are still
suffering; 80 you see the Doctors are kept
very busy now.
We are still having cold, rainy weather.
It makes the farmers want to see the sun
chine out, 30 that they can get to work.
Some of them have their ground in order,
while others are playing about, idling
their time away.
Our good neil ghbor, Mr.. Andrew Patter-
son, has purchased q place in Oconee
County, four miles above Seneca, and has
moved there recently. We regretted to
see them leave, as they will be badly
missed here. We wish them many happy
days in their new home. Mr.. Tom Wei.
born bought their old home place.
Many reports were out last year of there
going to be several wedding bells ring
Christmas times In our settlement, but ne
have not heard of them ringing yet.
What is the matter, girls? Leap year has
gone now, and here you are yet. There
will not be another leap year in eight
years. You had better took the chance
while you had one. -
Misses Robbie Wake field, Birdie Duck
worth, Effie Richardson and Eva Gentry
came home from Greenville College &C.
companied by some of their girl friends,
to spend Christmas holidays with their
parents and many other friends. They
have returned nov, and We will be lonely
again till next summer.
Mr.. j. N. Smith has been remodeling his
house, which we think will look very neat
when finished.
We think "Plenojure" hit "Don Limo"
heavy blow few weeks ago, but We have
heard no reply from "Don Limo" yet. I
guess the little doodle digger" thought it
best to keep silent for fear there would be
fuss. That's right, Mr.. Don Limo, "be
man."
Clemson College will open soop, and I
guess some of the boys will start to ''col.
lege." It's very big name, but there is
very little in it unless you put your mind
on what you are studying Wehope 1t will
be success.
We have a fine Sunday School here
every Sunday and preaching twice
month second aud fourth Sundays. Our
pastor is Rev. J. J. Beck. We all like
Mr.. Beck splendid. Come up and hear
him some Sunday. Everybody is invited.
Much success to the ANDERSON INTEL

A little young war broke out in Simp-
sonville Saturday afternoon. We have
been unable to get at the particulars, but
it is currently reported that some up-to.
date running was INDUCED in by the par.
ties who started the row, and that the
place smelled of birthstone for two hours
afterwards. Everything quiet, however.
Messrs. Geo. Martin. and Dayt Watkins,
of Piercetown, were in town Sunday.

Mr.. J. S. Wilson and family left here
Monday for Gainesville, Ga, which place
they will make their home in future.
Our town, it seems, is quite the place for
"sociables' and ''singings." Nothing like
them.
One of the most pleasant social events of
the season was the gathering of young peo-
pie at the residence Of Mr.. w. R. Roberts,
on Anderson Street, Tuesday evening.
The occasion was sociable given by Miss
Maybelle to her numerous young friends,
who enjoyed it immensely.
From the fact that our time is limited,
"Pencil Points from Piedmont" for this
issue are short. We hope to give the
news in full in the future however, and
will ask that you look for US.
