Mark Davis, a negro under arrest
was being brought to the Newbcrry
Jail Saturday, when ne was taken
from the officer by a mob Of masked
men and it Is thought he has been
lynched. Davis got into an alteration

barrelled mot gun. Neither Of the
Dorroh's was hit. They returned the
fire and the negro ran away.
Later Constable Yancy Floyd, with q

P0sToFH|CE WILL ABOLISH FINES
Assistan Postmaster General Hitch.
cock Has Decided to Do Away
With Fines.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Hitchcock has decided to abolish the
old and unjust system of imposing on
postoffice clerks fines for minor Of
lenses. He believes that he system
of imposing fines for small derelic-
tions savors too much of the order of
police courts, and is humiliating to
the employees, besides often resulting
in injustice.
Under the existing sysem fast, hard
working and conscientious clerks are
penalized for errors. while he slower
and less efficient clerks escape, and
the net results are largely against the
faster clerks, who not only are fined
but their records beclouded.
Mr.. Hitchcock believes that a great
injustice is being done to the 10000
men and women clerks in the most
offices of the country, that the prac-
tice Is irritating and humiliating and
should be discontinued, and a merit
system substituted. With such a pur-
pose In view, and to the end that the
best possible equivalent shall be
adopted. Mr.. Hitchcock is consulting
the leading postmasters of the coun-
try. John A. Holmes, assistant SUPER
intendent of salaries and allowances,
acting under special instructions from
Mr.. Hitchcock has been in consula-
ton with Postmaster Flower relative
to the perfecting of general system
to take the place of fines. Under the
fines system the money taken from
the clerks reverts to the government
and is lost to the postoffice.
1t Is proposed to establish a COM
plete code and merit system, in place
OF fines. that will give complete
record of each clerk. showing eff
cheney and deficiency, with violations
of rules and regulations, and provid-
ing for reduction from the higher
to lower class or removal from the
service. and providing further that
when clerk is reduced for cause to
subordinate class promotion shall at
the same time take place of some eff
cient clerk from the subordinate class
to the higher. The effect of this sys-
tenn will be to promote the efficient
and reduce the inefficient. thus grad
ually raising the service to a higher
standard.
Gen. Flower commends the proposed
change, and added few suggestions,
among which was a plan to advance
the salaries of clerks, whose records
are good. at the rate of 500 each
year. until they reach the $1,000 class,
after which he suggested that the IN
definite plan now in force of promot-
ing to fill vacancies be adopted
