LIFE-SAVING MEN
HARD TO OBTAIN
Small Pay Offered for the
Strenuous Work.
STATIONS ARE DEPLETED
Only Congress Action, Providing Retire
ment System, Can Restore Service
to Efficient Condition.

he Civil Service Commission is d.
recting especial attention TO an examl-
nation on April 70 to secure eHgibles
trom which TO make certincation TO fiji
vacancies in a large number of posi-
tons as surfmen at stations on the
gulf The commission has experienced
much difficulty in securing elisibles for
these places, and in two previous ex-
dminations failed to get anything like
the requisite number Of efficient men,
The notice sent out by the commits
sion in reference TO the difficulty in get
tins men eligible for surfmen has called
attention to the fact that the Life-Sav-
ing Service of the Government is be-
ing rapidly depleted of it's regular men,
and its most efficient ones. At the
bureau Of the Life-Saving Service in
the Treasury Department, it is said that
many of the stations are running with
but few old men, most of the force be-
ing temporary employees. In case Of
Serious emergencies. the situation would
be deplorable. This is especially the
case along the gulf and about the
Great Lakes.
Small Pay Responsible.
The reason given by Life-5aving Of
hcials for this condition OF things is
that the inducements for the surfmen
are not sufficient to keep them I'm the
service. They receive but SIS per
month, are out Of work through the
winter season. have to find their own
clothing ratiOns. and medical attend
auce, support their families, and besides
lose their pay If absent from station
over twenty-fosIr hours. Each surf
man has to have three suits Of cloth
ing. any one Of which is likely 90 be de-
stroyed in a single nights work.
Under the regula tons. none but IN
usually competent men are on the regu-
lar rolls Of the Iife-Saving Service. A
man cannot be employed until he has
had three years experience The re-
suit IS that there is a continual demand
for these SuTfmen IN the merchant ma
rine. hundreds Of them leave the Gov
eminent service for positions as quarter
masters, masters. mates, aud the Ike, q
lake or gulf steamers. For this work
they receive much higher pay and are
employed for more months IN the year
Than IN the Life-Savin6 Service
Worse on the Gulf.
The situation is worse on the gulf and
the lakes for the reason that the sta
tions are nearly all close TO large ports.

The remedy proposed by the Idfe-Sav-
ing officials is a system OF retirement
pay. with pensions Tor the widows and
orphans. If this policy were adopted.
the surfmen would be on the same
plane as soldiers and sailors In the
navy. Now, tley are not able TO make
any provision for their families A bin

A Magnificent Water
Front for Sale.

There is no more attractive salt
water frontage in Chatham county
than that at Coffee Bluff.
The stream of water is bold, with a
grand outlook seward, and the best

The contiguous land is fertile, and
the woods abound in oak and hickory.
This tract consists of 100 acres, hsv-
ing a water frontage of 400 feet.
The land is reached by the White
Bluff road, affording a shelled road to
within three miles of the land, and
there are good prospects of this short
space being shelled in the near flu

This land is easily divided into
