commission will have placed before it the work of the committee that prepared tentative charter last winter. This may be adopted in full or in part or rejected altogether. The two incidents have nothing to do with each other, except that the charter now prepared probably contains a great deal that would be wanted and will save a lot of hard preliminary work
 There are five tickets in the field for the free holders election though none of them carry the full list of fourteen names so there will natural Iy be a lot of scratching of ballots. The nearest to full ticket is the one going under the banner of the citizens non partisan ticket which carries thirteen names

When Mrs. Elizabeth King was trav.

had an experience which left her hun

There was q very large company In

assembled In a great hall for dinner.
About $50 sat down at the long, mar

the very bottom. e..
Far from us on a platform In the

must dine on It, 80 as each course was
offered he, refused and made us do the
same. At'length two walters removed
the stately dish, and as It was carried

But, alas, It disappeared, and the COM

THE PARcELsP osTsYSTEM.
Congressman Aiken States His Position
on Important Proposition.

One Of the most important things before
Congress n one affecting the whole
people Is that Of a parcels post. Mer-
chants in small towns dread such a thing
and yet some individuals are heartily in
favor Of 1t. The great mass Of the people
have not yet manifested any interest in 1t
or have not made known their opinions.
The following letter from Congressman
Aiken to the Secretary Of the Merchants
Association is Of interest as giving his
position In the matter:
Washington, D. @. Dec. 16, 1911.
Mr.. S. Brooks Marshall,
Greenwood, s. c.,
My dear Sir:
Your favor OF the 9Th instant has been
forwarded back and forth between Wash
ington and Abbeville but has at last reach
ed me. I was detained at home for a week
after Congress met on account Of the i'll.
ness Of one OF my chrildren. I am CLAN to
receive your letter and pleasure in answer
ing it.
The parcels post question is being con-
siderably discussed on all sides and I am
investigating it thorongly from every
standpoint. I do not wish to see harm
done TO any Of our Merchants by Cong
ress and I shall certainly be very careful
In voting for any measure that, will hurt
any Of our people. There seems to be a
strong disposition to 1naugurate q limited
parcels post system as an experiment
either to use the system on rural routes
from the starting point Of the various
routs or to contine the system to certain
zones and not have q flat rate all over the
United States regardless of distance. You
may recall that the rural free delivery
question was rgitated for some time before
1t vas put In operation and befor it became
general 1t was experiemnted with upon a
few routes. Some similar experiment
with regard to parcelspost will likely be
tried by the Government before q too
radical step Is taken. There seems to be q
very general demand by the people gener:
ally. the farmers, etc., for q general
parcels post system, but so far ] am not In
favor Of too precipitate actioni In the matter.
You may rest assured Of one thing and
that Is that I will do what I think is right
in the matter and best for our people,
both merchants, manufacturers, farmers,
and others.
With my kindest regards.
. Your obedient servant,
...''.... : Wyatt Aiken.
