WASHINGTON. Oct. l1.-William c. Drehrer.
a South Carolina Democrat, was removed about
a week ago from the Office OF Consular Agent at
Gubon. Germany. in order that the place might
he given to a Republican. Mr.. Drehrcr had
previously made up his mind that he did not
want to stay at Guben any longer. His official
income last year was only 1925. and since the
passage Of the Dinglcy law his fees have been
growing less. Before he knew that the powers
that DO in Washington contemplated his
removal. he wrote to influential friends
in America to secure his transfer TO
Ncukirchcn, where n German subject was act
ing as Consular Agent. The State Department
was glad to secure the service OF an American
citizen there, and the transfer was made to-day.
Last year Senkirchen paid 81 .045 in fees, and 1t
IL SAID that the agency has not been injured by
the Dinglcy law. So Mr.. Drehrer has proflted
through losing his former place. and has a
pretty good chance Of remaining in tho Consul
lar service four years more.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Within the
last day or two Postmaster General
Gary has reiterated his purpose not to
appoint negro postmastcrs in tho South
ern States where it is possible to avoid
1t. Where no white Republican is
eligible by reason Of non-residcnce or
otherwise, the Democratic incumbent
viii not be disturbed unless personally
offensive to the patrons of the Office or
obnoxious to the administration. A
recent declaration to the effect was
made by the Postmaster General in re.
fusing to recommend the appointment
of negro in one Of the Southern
States. He spoke with such emphasis
on the subject us to make the imprc,
sion that he meant what he said, and
that he would adhere to it. 1t is
known here that he has called halt
on the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral in his ruthless work of annihila-
tion.
The following important changes in
the Southern Railway service will b '
made at the beginning OF tho new
year:
The Offices OF mechanical engineer,
general superintendent, superintendent
OF transportation, general storckccpcr
and fuel agent will he abolished. and
the chief engineer will be relieved
OF the charge OF maintenance OF way.
Tho following appointments arc
made effective on same date:
Mr.. w. II. Green, assistant general
manager, In charge OF real estate
leases within and adjuccnt to right-of-
| way lines, United States mail service

to postmasterships in the South. In
case there is not Il Republican resident

economical the city has v e had and
