NO SCREEN p. 0. WAGON
 FOR NEW LONDON. Department Rule Technically Con- strued Will Prevent Getting One.

The New London postoffice is not to have a screened wagon for carting the mail to and from the union station such as the Norwich office uses. The ruling of the postoffice department Is that screened wagons shall be pro Vided only to offices located in excess of a, stated distance from the depot, and the New London office is less than that distance from the union depot.
 In Norwich bids have been asked for furnishing such a wagon. A screened wagon is much more convenient than any open wagon but the rule of the department in this regard is definite.

IN RE NORMAN HAPGOOD.
What Other Newspapers Have to Say
About the Incident.

We are publishing below what
some of the papers in this State and
North Carolina have to say in refer
ence to an expression in the Bam-
berg Herald as to Norman Hapgood
as the speaker at the meeting of the
Press Association at the Isle of Palms
next week. Some think he should be
forgiven, others that we are too I'M
pulsive. while others agree with us.
We are reprinting below all the news
paper comments We have seen. There
NAV have been others, but We have
not had opportunity to go over our
exchanges carefully last and this
week.
In addition to the newspaper COM
ments we print short commenda-
tory article from one of the best men
in Bamberg.
We also received a personal letter
from a lady in Savannah, Ca, whom
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1913-06-19

we do not know but who reads The
Herald, commencing our expressions
and asking for the date of the editori-
al written by Hapgood, as she had
never seen it.
We have written to Golfers Week
ly, asking for a copy of the article,
but it has not been received as yet.
AS soon as we get hold of copy we
will publish it.
In this connection it might be well
to say that Hapgood is not now editor
of Golfers. He had a row last year
with Robert J. Collier, the owner,
over the presidential race and re-
signed or was discharged. He has
recently bought Harper's Weekly, and
we trust that it will not be allowed to
come into any Southern home while
Hapgood is it's owner and editor.
Editor knights Protest.
Editor knight, of the Bamberg
Herald, who has the habit of saying
what he thinks, which is bad habit,
even for those who think most ra-
tionally, has, at this inopportune
time, in our judgment, entered pro-
test against the invitation extended
to Norman Hapgood, formerly edi-
tor of Golfers, to speak at the meet
ing of the South Carolina Press asso-
citation in Charleston, on the ground
that Mr.. Hapgood once published in
his magazine an article that was in
sulting to the women of the South:
Now as much as we may have been in
censed by the article, or any other
article of similar purport, on the spur
of the moment, upon second thought
we must know that such sentiment,
were it expressed in dozen maga-
zines, could not detract from the vir-
tues, the grace or the beauty of
Southern women. Southern woman
hood cannot be assailed and the per-
son who attempts it must do so
through ignorance or through mis-
conception.
If Mr.. Hapgood was ever respon-
sible for such an article, after his
visit to the South his eyes will be
opened and the grievousness of his
sin will weigh heavily upon him.
There are a lot of people who have
to learn much Of conditions in the
South. Let Mr. Hapgood come. He
will see and understand. He is a
Journalist of talent and convictions
and his friendly interest in the South
is to be Notwithstanding Her
aid.

Too Quick on Trigger.

Editor A. w. knight, of Bamberg,
upon second thought doubtless will
admit that he was too hasty in his re-
marks last week about the selection
of the annual orator of the Press AS
sociation this year. Knight can see
as far into a mill stone as the next
one when he tries, but he is just
temperamentally little too quick
On the trigger.
1t is hardly conceivable that any
member of the. Association would de-
liberately seek to embarrass the exc
cutive committee or any member OF
the committee, and it is hoped that
this was not the motive.
1t is further hoped that the Asso-
citation as an Association will continue
to maintain it's high standard of cour-
tesy and that the incident will now
stand closed.-Greenwood Index.

that the editorial of which he speaks
might have escaped President Wat
sons notice. And even if he had
seen it isn't it about time We learn. to

Ledger.
Should be Welcomed.
Some of the South Carolina edi-
tors do not take kindly to the prop
osition of listening to an address by
Mr. Norman Hapgood, of Collier S
Weekly fame, and are speaking their
minds. The incident they hold against
him was his editorial in connection
with the driving out of Wilmington
of the negro editor Manley for his
unspeakable insult to the women of
the South. For that article, Hap
goods publication was barred from
many homes in North Carolina and
is still barred. He grievously Of
Tended against the sensibilities of
the South, but in the last campaign
in North Carolina we believe he made
professions of repentance. Under the
circumstances, We believe the South
Carolina editors should welcome him
and give further proof, which they
are so able to do, that when he was
writing, he labored in dense ignor-
ance of the Southern people and the
South. We should never lose an op-
portunity to take men like Hapgood
in hand and set them right and this
