APPEAL By BYRNES.
South Carolina Congressman Points
to Defects in Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Represent-
ative Byrnes to-day came out strong
ly in a speech on the floor of the
house in favor of better treatment for
the rural mail carriers of the coun-
try. When the postoffice appropria-
tion bill was under consideration he
referred to statement which he had
received from the postmaster general
in which the latter stated that while
the bill ostensibly provided for an
increase of salaries for all carriers,
as a matter of fact the salaries of all
tri-weekly carriers would be reduced
and there would be great discrimina-
tion in the increase of salaries of
daily carriers. Mr.. Byrnes stated that
under the provisions of the bill the
increase on a % mile route would be
SIS year: on 25 mile route
$3.50, and on a "a mile route $50.
He asked for an increase from 81, 100
to $1,000 for the standard routes,
adding $50 for every mile above and
deducting $50 for every mile below.
He also said that if the bill went
through with the increases now pro-
vided for the total amount in the
bill would have to be similarly in
creased or else there would be :,
deficit in the rural delivery service.

government appropriated it for the
use of the Mexican war. Doctor
Morton had offered it for a small
royalty. After the war bill was in
troduced in congress to award DR..
Morton 100000. 1t was received
favorably, but never became law.
From then until the Civil war
Doctor Morton suffered various vicis-
STUDIES and changes in fortune. Few
men honored him as he should have
been honored. His country treated
him shabbiest of ALL The Civil war
came on and Doctor Morton volun-
teered as a surgeon. He admins
tered his anesthesia to more than
two thousand wounded soldiers. He
was at Fredericksburg, Chancellors-
vile and the Wilderness.
After the war he went to New
York city. where in 1868, he died
during a severe heat wave that af-
fiicted the country. 1t was not until
many years after his death that his
name achieved the honor it deserved

Washington, d. c., May 14.-Secre-
tary Daniels has given Rear Admiral
Mayo full power to send American
warships back up Panuco river to
Tampico if, in his judgment, conditions
should warrant such action.
Secretary Daniels explained that
while Admiral Mayo had full discre-
tionary powers to take his ships back
into the Panuco river, that he would
not land any forces at Tampico eX-
cept in the case of the gravest emer-
gency, without specific orders from
the department. 1t was explained that
he probably would place his hospital
ships at the disposal of the authorities
at Tampico- for the care of the wound
ed, regardless of their allegiance.
Mr.. Daniels said he had felt all along
that American interests. including the
oil properties, would be amply protect
ed as soon as the fighting ceased and
one side or the other was in absolute
control of the situation. He said that
he had not yet received sufficient in
formation concerning the Constitu-
tionalist victory to determine what ef-
feet 1t would have on commerce I'm
Tampico, but he expressed the hope
that the port would be open to the
commerce % the world.
one reason for sending the Ameri-
can ships back into the Panuco river,
1t was explained at the department,
was because of the hurricane season,
which is settling in along the Mexican
coast.

Further confirmation of the fall of
Tampico into the hands of the Consti-
tutionalists was received at the Navy

A Pointer To Merchants

A certain store which is be-
ing re-established by new own
ers has specialized on famous
trade marked lines in many of
its departments.
The figures of the store -sales
show that the departments which
have been able to secure such
goods and push them are grow
ing far ahead of those which
have no famous brands to help
them.
Responses to the advertising
of this store evidence the fact
that the public is more eager
for well-known. trade marked
goods than IL is for articles
whose names mean nothing.
In several instances there is
direct cooperative Advertising In
the local newspapers. between the
manufactured and the store-and
this has brought splendid results
in dollars and cents.
