The possibilities of Chinese "pidgen English" are wonderful. These Celestials have way of expressing themselves that is sometimes apt to confuse the listener. For example, a Philadelphia man tells this experience with a Chinese servant who has not yet mastered all the intri- cacies of our language:
 For instance, the other day l got home and told him to go upstairs and tell my two daughters l wanted to talk to them. This was the answer he gave me when he came down: Two piecee gall topsid no hab ot; one piecee gail drivee- -drivee; one piecee gail walkee-walkee. From which 1 eventually made out that neither of my daughters was at home, one being out driving, the othe' out walking-but hss a great cook, anyhow.
 No doubt that was plain enough to the speaker, and would have been intelligible to one of his own people, but such Q topsy-turvey way of expressing informa- ton is apt to confuse the ordinary United States nearer.

THE PosroFF1cE SCANDAL.

The attempt of Postmaster-General Payne to dismiss the charges made by Seymour w. Tulloch, former cashier of the Washington office, and to dispose Of the charges by contemptuously alluding to them as 'glittering generalities, VIII not serve. As Emmerson once said, they ought to glitter because they are true. :" and Payne may as well make up his mind to the fact that there is something more in 1t than generalities.
 Nor can the Post Office Department or the administration relieve itself by abu Je of Tulloch or Machen. or any other sub ordinate. As The Hartford Conn Times says of some of the charges, there are partlcularities which make the gen. eral charges of corruption in the post ofnce glitter so brightly that possibly they may attract the eye of President Roose- welt if he glances eastward"
 The President will probably find it highly important for him to turn both his eyes and his steps eastward, we pre- dict The charges which have been made are too serious and too specific to be dis posed of by trying to place all the blame on officials of lower rank. It may be that charges have been made which can not be sustained but contemptuous wave of the hand is no argument, and a sheer win not be accepted as a reply to speci- fications. There is well defined sus- picton that the Poetofice Department is rotten to the core and it is not certain that the tumefaction will stop there. It will not do for the President to ignore this matter, or to content himself with the belief that all will come right. He had better return to Washington, adopt Grants somewhat bombastic order, Let no guilty man escape" and set himself resolutely to the task of correcting the evils and punishing the guilty. He has the courage to do it, provided his bands are not bound by the numbing fear of injuring his future political prospects. We doubt if Q plaster will heal the disease. The knife may be the only remedy, but will tue President apply 1t,

In the short space of this article
I cannot give every detail, but I

ments intelligent.
First; let us see what the situa-
ton is in Aiken county. Accord
ing to figures furnished by tee
Auditor of that county. the;.total

A VINDICATION
OF the Advocates of the New
County.
PovERRY HILL, S. c.,
Nov. 2lst, 1908.

MR. EDITOR: Times change and
sometimes in its changing develops
some rather remarkable things, to say
che least of it; for instance, some time
since several of the representative
citizens living along the Savannah
Valley held a mass meeting at North
Augusta and for purposes of our own
convenience and for the furtherance
of our own individual, and collective
interest, resolved that we would en-
deavor to form new county, in full
accordance with the law regulating
the formation of new counties.
Now, it seems that we make very
grave mistake at the outset in not
consulting atom, Dick and Harry, re.
siding at Edgetield and Aiken. Well
we thought we were abiding by the
law that gave US right to do as we
did, and we thought we were twenty
one years old, therefore fully compe-
tent to manage our OWL affairs with
out asking tnat court house citizen or
newspaper scribblers act as our guar
dams or counsellors in the matter. We
are a people down here who DO some-
what like the mountain maid said tq
the dude, who asked her if all the girls.
around there went barefoot as she did
Her reply was that "part of 'em did
and part of 'em minded their own
business"
| am glad to see so many loyine1
friends are solicitors for our welfare
and are 81. strenuously exerting them
selves to save US from the destructive
paws of Mr.. Jackson, in spite of our
selves.
IfMr. Calhoun is correct, that Mri
Jackson lives IN Georgia we Will naye
to own up to the implied charge of inE
competency to manage our own affair
and will have to yield to some of ouF
self-constituted advisers. We wer1
Iaboring under the Impression that al {
this side of the Savannah river was inS
South Carolina. Now, if we were mis!s
staken in this we will own up, likel
good boys, IT Mr.. Calhoun will spare
us that threatened mundatiOn OF
figures.
| suspect we have as good calcula-
tors within the bounds OF the proposed
new county as are to be found in some,
other places | might mention. So
when we want any "fggering" dcne
we will do it among ourselves ara to
suit ourselves. H. is all btsh for out
