modern IN every respect, he urged
the change as one Of humanity, econ
omy and progress.
Senator Sullivan thought the state
was committed to the transfer OF
asylum to State Park but thought the
best plan was to allow the committee
to receive bids for the sale of the
present asylum property and lay the
bids before the general assembly at
its next session and for the legisla-
ture to pass on the bids. He did not
want to see the property rushed on
the market and didn't see any reason
for it. Senator Beamguard argued
for the bill. Senator Christensen
thought this was the time to demand
those who have been making charges
and insinuations against those favor
ing the removal of the asylum to
prove their charges. He reviewed
the action OF the Legislature and ar
gued for the passage Of the bill SEN
ator Crouch followed with an argu-
ment for the bill. The senate voted
down motion by Senator Applet to
strike out the enacting words.
Amendments putting the sale in the
hands OF sinking fund commission
and providing that the proceeds Of
the sale OF property be paid into the
state treasury and paid out only by
legislative appropriation were adopt
ed. All other amendments were vot-
ed down and the bill then passed it's

Sir. c. E. Parker, superintendent of
construction of United States public
buildings, who Is the government rep
resentatIye for the post office being
erected here. is greatly interested in
the parcels post service recently inau-
gurated and especially that phase of
II which touches the possible enlarge
ment of federal buildings to accommo-
date the service. Mr.. Parker is a
George Washington University man
and is well informed upon national
matters and talks very Interestingly
OF postal affairs. Speaking of the
parcels post service and its effects
upon the country and especially as It
relates TO the building being erected
here, he gives considerable informa-
ton:
Parcel Post, with IT'S many defini-
tons and usages az expanded, enlarg-
ed and expatfated upon by the public
wit" of today, is indeed an interest
Ing subject and now that the ridicu-
lousness of the uses for this system
have ceased to be portrayed by our
most noted cartoonists and the agita-
tion caused by the same has subsided
bit, 1t Is time to sit up and appre-
ciate fully the many advantages to
be derived from this service. In the
first place. We know that we can send
most anything you could mention by
this system. providing the package,
parcel or box, as the case may be. is
not over certain size and weight,
viz: length and girth not to exceed
" inches and It must not weigh over
ii pounds. The rates are so arranged
that anything coming within the afore-
mentioned stipulations. sent to q
point within reasonable distance and
governed by certain areas called zones
can be sent Tor from one-fourth to
one-third Of the charges demanded
before the advent of this very excel
lent service. II means a great deal
to the individual shopper and will
benefit everyone who has occasion to
ship parcels of this nature. 1t has
now been in force long enough for the
employees of the various post offices
to become thoroughly familiar with its
usages and personal observation has
led me TO believe that after a while its
use will become general, as the ex-
press companies in the past have been
looked upon as the only logical car
riers for certain parcels, a condition
which this system does away with.
| have heard 1t said, that the post Of
ftces OF today and especially those old
er ones, are not large enough, that
the work rooms of these buildings
would not accommodate the additional
business occasioned by this ruling,
but on my several trips to the various
towns in the south since the first of
the year, / have not perceived any
great congestion or apparent confu-
sion but on the other hand, the par
cells have been handled with dispatch,
nor have they been allowed to occum-
ulate, which would undoubtedly re-
quire additional space for their stor-
age.

buildings and do not believe that trou-
bic will be caused on many of them
on account of their size. In this
connection thoufh, it would be we'll
to state at this time. that the treas

ditional space in all future federal
buildings for this branch and it will
be a part OF the post Office screen,

cts. Ii is a question as to whether
or not the post once oficials will
consider 1t necessary TO increase the
working force &C result of the extra
work involved In. the execution of the
business connected with the Parcel
Pest, up to the present time. such ex-
ira work has been handled by men
employed temporarily when the oc-
casion demanded, the compensation
for such services being taken care of
in an emergency fund: this amount
governed by the size and importance
of the post office.
AS for your new post office here in
Laurens. which is now under con-
struction, am OF the opinion that it
will be, amply large for any amount
of Parcel Post matter and in this con-
nection, when finished it Will be as
satisfactory a building as you could
want. The work room is large and
excellent!y lighted, and affords good
circulation, the money order and reg
istry division Is we'll planned and
will be splendid quarters for this
branch. The postmaster's room, with
it's facilities, is all that could be de-
sired. The arrangement of the car
riers' swing room, with it's large
toilet adjoining, is good and gives
these men large, we'll lighted quarters
the work room.
On the other side of the building,
the space over the postmaster's room
and Lobby. is devoted TO storage pur-
poses. but IL occasion demanded, could
at some future date be easily convert
ed into office rooms. In the basement
will be the large boiler room, the
fuel room, a storage room and the
clerks toilet. The building as plan
ned, Is adequate in every detail. The
public lobby will be particularly
pleasing, with Its snow white Keenes'
cement plaster on grained ceiling and
walls, an ornamented cornice of the
same material at the ends OF lobby,
crnamented plaster caps at intervals
throughout and the darker treatment
Of the post office screen bays, same
being circular headed and in oak.
The design of the building is dis
tinctly that OF the colonial style of
architecture and has an atmosphere OF
simplicity that is so essential for the
successful treatment of a building of
this type. The use of the Doric order,
with it's columns and massive appear
ing entablature of limestone. gives a
feeling OF Sturdiness that is so vel!
liked in public building of this ma
ture. In conclusion, 1 hope to see
this building occupied by the first Of
Iune and 1t viii present very home
like appearance to all those having
business in same and everyone in
Laurens can we'll be proud Of it.

Routh may give his attention to other
sections Of the county.
The following new laboratories will
be established.
