POstmaster's Term
OF Office Expires

The term Of Office of Postmaster
John f. Cochran expired last Sunday,
but as yet no one has been named as
his successor. It Is probable that
President Wilson will shortly send his
nomination for the office before the
Senate for confirmation, though It
some time happens this matter Is not
transacted until months after the ap.
pointee has taken over the duties OF
the office. Mr.. Cochran has been post
master at Anderson for / years and
during the entire time hes given emil
nent satisfaction. He is generally re-
garded as one Of the most efficient
postmasters in this part OF the conn
try. He is now the oldest postmaster
In point OF service IN the State. There
is much speculation as to who the new
postmaster will be, but among those
mentioned as aspirants for the Office
are: Frank Hamlin OF the Canal
Zone, William Laughlin, j. Roscoe
Moseley, w. s. Breazeals. D. p. Sloan,
I. Joe Bell, c. NJ. Mcclure. w. r. Cox,
