Parcels Post.

Referring to the comments of the
Spartanburg Herald upon the parcels
post letter Of Congressman Johnson,
which comments were reprinted in this
paper last week, the Yorkville Enqui-
rer says this:
THAT about sizes up the situation.
The Enquirer has all along been in fa-
vor of the parcels post, and like the
Herald has not hesitated to say so.
We have had lots of alarmist litera-
ture on the subject; but we have new.
er heard a complaint from local mer-
chant. We think it is the express COM
panies principally that are behind the
opposition, and they are behind 1t be-
cause they know that the establishment
Of the parcels post will make them re-
duce express charges to people living
in rural communities, as well as to
merchants in the smaller towns. and
really We do not see where the ~
Is to be hurt by the reduction of eX-
press charges"
BY indorsing the stand taken by the
Spartanburg Herald, we infer that The
Yorkville Enquirer indorses the views
of Congressman johnson, viz, that he
is in favor Of a parcels post with rates
according to zones, but absolutely op-
posed to a parcels post with fiat rates.
We also gather that both of our es-
teemed contemporaries favor govern
ment ownership of transportation util-
tiles and government competition with
private individuals.
We also gather from comments in
the News and Courier that 1t is in fa-
vor of any old parcels post, just so it
has the label. If our recollection serves
us right, the State also holds the same
views. while the Augusta Chronicle
comes out squarely and fiat-footedly
against 1t in any shape or form.
We are glad to note that there Is an
increasing disposition on the part OF
the state press to discuss this most i'm
portant question. We hope, however.
that they will discuss the vital points
more in detail and deal less in gener-
alities.-Laurens Advertiser
The Enquirer agrees with Congress
osition; but it is not quite ready to say
that 1t would be glad to see govern
ment ownership of transportation util-
tiles. We are not impressed with the
suggestion as to competition with "pri-
vate individuals" That suggestion is
not really exact anyway. The compe-
tition would be with private corpora
tions rather. Generally speaking. we
are inclined to the idea that when a
business gets into corporation lati-
tudes, it is pretty close to the necessity
for government ownership. We would
not look upon the parcels post, for in
stance, as government competition with
private individuals so much as we
would look upon it as government pro-
lection of the individual from the op-
preston of the express companies. We
would like to see government owner
ship of the telegraph and telephone
service. With reference to the mail
service. we think it would he a very
good idea for the government to change
its present system of compensation to
the railroads, which is so unjust to
short lines. and adopt a system where
by the postoffice department might fur
nish it's own mail cars and pay track
age like other people.

Burris people at noon. Enough of
the work had been done at $50 O'Clock
to guarantee that the job would be
completed. Those who had come to
look, and many who were unbeliev-
ers, one by one began to give up as
the work progressed in such rapid
manner. Attention is called to the
fact that this Is not a common ordi-
nary structure. 1t is a tastily gotten

its support to some particular candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination, but no such action was
taken. Members Of the executive COM
mittee Of the local club elected were
