The CIVIL SERVICE.
Special Agent Kemp Here Making
Investigations.
There Have Been no Charges What
ever Against Postmaster
Fsriss.

Special Agent J. ]. Kemp. of the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion. who has been in Nashville for
several days investigating certain
charges brought against Postmaster
Wills for alleged violations of the civil
service laws, arrived in Columbia We'd
nesday. 1t had been reported, and so
published in the Nashville papers and
copied in the Herald. that the object of
his visit to Columbia was to investigate
charges filed at Washington against
Postmaster III. +. Fariss of this city /;
but this publication, it appears, was
incorrect.
Mr.. Kemp made his headquar-
tiers at the Bethel House, where
he was interviewed by Herald re-
porter When his attention was called
to the publication in the Nashville
papers in regard to the charges against
Postmaster Fariss. he said that it did
Mr.. Fariss an injustice, as there had
been no charges made against him
whatever, so far as he knew, and he
was not here to investigate any
irregularities in connection with his
affairs.
When questioned further as to the

that there had been some complaints, |
but no specific charges, in connection
with the civil service at this place,
and he was here to look after. these
He declined. however, to
say whom the complaints were against
as that was question which he
thought the commissioner would not
like for him to answer.
Mr.. Kemp completed his in
vestigation here and left yester-
lay morning. 1t was learned by
the Herald reporter from other
sources that the complaints re-
'erred to above, were brought on ac- .
