Washington, April 29.-''The
Poste flee Department is the
greatest political machine ever
constructed in this or any other
country and it is openly admin

tion.''
This was the charge made on
the floor of the House OF
Representatives today by Rep
resentative Cullop of Indiana,
who referred to Postm aste1 Gen
eral Hitchcock as being the ere.
ator and presiding genius of this
organisation.
Too much time devoted BY the
head of the postofice department
TO political affairs and too little
to business, were declared by Mr..
Cullop to be responsible for the
annual deficit in the operation
of the department. He said the
people should know whether any
Of the $4,000 postmasters or
employees had been discharged
or reduced in rank for failure to
perform political duties, or con-
tribute to campaign funds and
whether employees are regularly
assessed for campaign purposes

1t is alleged by Whitener that
he came to Spartanburg yestei

out of The bank at Landrum. In
this city he fell in with Baxter
Thomas, a we'll known youug
man, who, on the pretext o.
meeting a woman near the South.
Jern station, lured Whitener to an
open field on Magnolia street.
Here they waited for the wo.
man, who never came. In the
!. meantime, however, it is alleged
that Foster put in his appear
ance and, with a loaded revolver
staring the victim between the
eyes, demanded the two $50 bills.
He was given the money quick,
it is said, and no outcry was
made on the spot.
While Whitener was peeping
down the barrel of the gun,
Thomas remarked, "Foster,"
who is his friend in this city,
"don't you shoot my partner,
please"
When Whitener got away
from the scene he notified Capt.
Hayes of the police department,
who, after working on the case,
caused the warrant to be issued
and the men to be placed in the
county Jail pending a prelimi-
nary hearing.

If the little emperor Of China is like
American youngsters of his age he is
probably ''feelin' awful bad" having
"a toothache' or conjuring up other
time worn excuses to escape going to
school. The empress dowager has is
sued an edict chat Lou Zeng Chang,
minister of the empire, and Tcheng
Pao Sen, governor of Chansi, bearing
the honorable title of vice minister,
shall both become tutors to the en-
peror. They shall instruct him night
and day with the greatest care and
shall teach him all science becoming a
royal parsonage, and also the history
of the different countries of the world,
in order that our emperor may grow
strong In knowledge. They shall also
explain to him from time to time the
new administrations and constitutional
laws, as we'll as all modern sciences,
but at the same time they shall not
forget to instruct him in the doctrines
of Confucius concerning the means to
practice the virtues and to govern the
empire"

The Axarana Man.

However loosely one may use the ex-
preston 1.-The average man." however
plausibly another may argue that no
such parsonage exists, the average
man has very distinct reality. He
exists not In Imagination, but in the
actual world of physical objects. The
impossibility of Identifying him is no
argument against his being. The aver
age man is monarch. the only mon
arch we have in democracy. Before
him all other men bow down. His
word is law, indisputable. fnescapable.
From this decree there is no appeal
and no redress. He courts suggestion,
but not Interference. To this real but
unnamed person politicians must
make their appeal and statesmen look
for support. He combines radicaIism
with healtliful conservatism, is not Of
ten carried away by the passions of the
moment, but If he is his mental equi-
librium is quickly restored. He may
occasionally be wrong, but never for
long In the end his judgment is cor
rect and nfallible.--Cleveland Plain

HUMOROUS QUIPS
The SImpIe Maiden.

There was once n simple maiden, and her
simple name was Dottie.
She had a simple twinkle In her eyes.
There was a simple dimple In her simple
chin that naughty
Little maids who had no dimples saw
with signs.
The things she said were simple
And the things she did were simple.
very simple grille girl was she.
But the simplest maid that ever
Simply sighed may still be clever
In her beautiful sim-pli-ci-tee.
There came a gallant hero with a manner
that was splendid.
Tho other girls regarded him with awe.
They sought him, but none caught him,
and their hoping soon was ended,
For Dottie was the only girl no saw.
He nlrted with coy Dottie.
And he boosted that sweet Dottie
Was ready to accept him any day.
But the simplest maid that ever
Simply sighed may still BIO clever
In a simple, unexpected way.
Tho hero soon grew weary OF the maiden
and her signing.
On other ladies' he bestowed his smiles.
But naughty little Dottie did no vain or
foolish crying.
She had letters from him stacked In
handy piles.
To Dottie he had written
Things he never should have written.
And she made him pay her well to set him
free.
oh, the simplest maid that ever
Simply sighed may still be clever
In her beautiful sim-pli-ci-tee.

CHEROKEE INDIANS SUE.
Want s25,oooyooo From Uncle Sam Fol-
Lands WrongfuIly Taken.

Want $25,ooo,ooo From Uncle Sam For
Lands WrongfulIy Taken.
The full blood Cherokee Indians are
preparing to instgate suit against
the United States government for $685.
100000. That sum the Cherokees say
Is due them for property rights and
money dissipated by the government
and paid to whites and negroes who
were not Cherokees in the last 100
years.
The leader of the movement is Mrs.
Susan Saunders of st. Louis, three
quarter blood Cherokee, sixty-six years
old and blind. In the action the major
ity of the more progressive of the
Cherokees take no part, being convinc-
ed that the suit will be in vain.
The principal claim of the Indians Is
for land in the Cherokee nation which
has been allotted to negroes known as
freedmen and to the whites who have
married into the tribe. There are
1900 negroes who have been given al
lotments in the Cherokee nation.
When the Cherokees went to the
Indian Territory from Georgia In 1883
to 1886 they took many negro slaves
with them. These they kept the same
as white slave owners until the close
of the civil war. At the time of the
war most of the Cherokees Joined the
Confederacy, and when the emancipa-
ton of the slaves was declared the
government decreed that the slaves of
the Indians should not only be freed,
but should share in all the tribal prop
erty of the nation.

Aauiea Ina Crisis.

The Saline river, Arkansas, was out
of its bank and swift flowing, owing
to the heavy rains. An old negro and
his two sons wanted to cross, each rid
ing a mule. The older son ventured
first and came up safely on the other
bank. The younger went next, the
father remaining to watch. Thus the
two anxiously Witnessed the younger
negro's battle against the swirllng cur
rent. The mule was swimming low,
the rider showing little except his
head and shoulders above water, when
the saddle girth broke and saddle and
contents slipped Off the animal be-
hind which allowed the faithful mule
to partially emerge from the water.
1t was a critical moment, and the
watchers from opposite banks were all
anxiety The imperiled boy clutched
frantically upon the tail Of the swim
ming animal, but the old negro evil
IDENTIFY failed to note this and shouted,
Look to de Lawd, Eph'um; look to
de Lawd; look to de Lawd!
The more worldly son on the other
bank was obviously skeptical about
such advice under the circumstances,
for he screamed out, 'Nevah you min
lookin' to de Lawd, Eph'um; never you
min lookin' to de Lawd-you hop right
on to dat mules tail."-Philadelph

The boys had been watching the per-

last act was drawing to close. The
duel almost dragged the lads from
their seats.
Before their eyes the queen was poi

elephants in Siam is about 5000. The
supply has been decreasing yearly, and
prices have advanced until now full
grown male timber elephant is worth
about $1,000 and female $1,000. An

viously needle was magnetized by
the loadstone run through a piece of
straw or wood and foated in a saucer
or shallow dish containing water.
Then as the old chronicler says: 1.-THE
point infallibly turns toward the pole
star, and when the night is dark and
gloomy and neither star nor moon is
visible they set light beside the nee
die, and they can be assured that the
star is opposite to the point, and there
by the mariner is directed on his
course. This Is an art which cannot

one child staying out. Each child
takes the name of flower or shrub.
The child outside the ring has a small
branch in her hand, which she drops
behind the player, calling out the flow
err name of the player. AS she does
this she starts to run around the ring
with the one called close at her heels.
whichever reaches the vacant place
first wins, and the other must stay out

There was a window missing from the

by the saplings that had been bent
down, and finally he reached the edge
of the swamp. That fool niger said
he, will get mired down there IL he
don't look out. I'll come back this aft

But that afternoon he couldn't find
Sam. Time went on until he became
seriously alarmed about the old fellow.
On Thursday morning he got on his
mule, took his hound dogs and started
out to trail the runaway. About 4
o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday
he found the old chap, completely ex-
