Land Of Small Opportunity.

Census reports from the Panama
canal zone give the population there
today as $3.50. of which about $4,000
are employees of the canal commission,
the Panama railroad and of the varf
GUS canal contractors. Generally
speaking. the soil is not suitable for
farming. 1t is not likely that Amer.
leans will be attracted, and since
other occupants than Americans, for
obvious reasons, are not desirable
Colonel Goethals is in favor Of the de-
population of the zone, except so far
as 1t will occupied by canal opera
tives and by the military necessary for
the protection of the canal.

There was a crash and Farrar woke

Here's the sequel to the dream.

POSTMASTER PURCELL OFT
The Newberry Man Loses His Place
Simply Because He Wouldn't
Stay in the Office.

Col. C. ]. Purcell, for eleven years
postmaster at Newberry has been
requested to hand in his resignation.
1t was what everybody knew was 60
ing to be done, as it was we'll known
that Postmaster Purcell would not
devote his time personally to the work
as required by the postofflce depart
ment. Friends all along told Mr. Pur-
cell he was going to lose out if he
did not stay in the Office and attend
to the business, but he seemed to be
treating the matter with indifference,
IS. in fact, in the first place, h2 did
ret have the time to spare f'om his
other and large business interests.
This is one instance where man
just deliberately puts himself out of
a good office because of his own in
difference, as there were no other
charges Of any nature whatsoever
against him, not the slightest ire
gularity or carelessness. The in
spectors always found ever thing in
fine order and the work at the New
berry office called forth the praises Of
the government. Postmaster Purcell
and his assistants are popular and
the relationship existing between the
Newberry postoffice and the Newberry
public is pleasant and cordial.
1t SEEMS to be certain that County
Supervisor Wm A. Hill will be Mr..
Purcell's successor Mr.. Hill has the
happy faculty of always getting what
he wants, and there is not a more po-
pular man in the entire county Of
Newberry. He has backing him a
strong crowd, the majority of the pso-
pie, who stick to him and are deter
mined to make him serve them, wheth-
er he wants to or not, in one Office
or another
Everything is serene. Mr.. Hill and
his friends are Justly happy and Mr..
Purcell is not worrying. In fact, as
one man close to Purcell says, it was
The best days work he ever did when
he sent in his resignation.
