Guessing Who Win Be Postmaster.

There is considerable speculation in regard to the appointment for post master to replace Charles II. Din- mick, whose term expires around the first of next month. No one seems to knew who will get the appointment, and one opinion is as good as another. As many as a dozen prominent dem ocratic politicians have been mention ed in this connection, and it is said that there are several dark horses in the race.
 At least one politician has been as good as offered the place, at any rate he was requ ested by q man close to Congressrnen AIahan to get up a peti- ton for the office. but he preferred not to get into the race.

TION OF WAR.
The Premier and the King Are Not
Agreed On Decision as
to War.

Whether Greece is to throw in her
lot with the allies of tie triple en-
tente Or remain neutral is the absorb
ing question of the war. Tt Hellenic
kingdom is in the throes Of a mighty
crisis, with King Constantine said to
be in favor O.: neutrality, and the re-
firing premier, E1eutterios Venizelos,
one of the strongest men in Greece,
declared to be uncompromisingly op-
posed to such a step. The resignation
Of the premier and fais cabinet is re-
ported to have been due to the un-
yielding attitude Of the monarch. The
belief prevailed t-at, with the ap-
rointment of new ministry, tie
storm clouds would dissipate. This
feeling was heightened by reports
from Athens that Venizelos had stated
in a speech in the Chamber of deputies
that lie and MS followers would sup
port any government the king might
appoint.
Later information, however, brought
the true utterance of Yenizelos to tie
world
"Our party he said, "will rei'use to
support any government which may
be formed Added significance was
ATTACHED by some of his hearers to MS
further statement, besides, M. Baims,
if he forms cabinet, will not come
before tie chamber"
NJ. Zaimis, who mas been rendered
the portfolio Of premier, has not yet
accepted the task of forming min
istry. Instead, he t2as requested time
to consult his followers. Meanwhile

of Mr.. Syfans was pawned, and that
following up this clue the police made
the arrest.

FOURTH DISTRICT RACE
LIhELY TO Be WARM
SELECTION OF JOHNSON PRECIPI.
TATES CAMPAIGN.
RumOred Robert A. Cooper Will Sup
port B. A. MOrgan-Arch B.
Calvert Spoken of.

Spartanburg, March THE crea-
ton of a new federal district in South
Carolina and the selection of Con-
gressman Joseph T. Johnson, Of this
city, as Judge Of tat district, has pre-
cipitated a congressional campaign in
the Fourth South Carolina district, al
most without a moments warning, so
to speak. Joseph T. Johnson has rep
resented the district ih congress -o-
fourteen years and was elected last
summer to succeed himself. He will
retire from congress without serving
a day in tie new congress.
The most interesting development
locally in the situation is the state
ment that A B. Calvert, president o.
the Bank of Spartanburg, former
mayor of Spartanburg and a cotton
manufacturer, is seriously consider
ing the matter Of becoming a candi-
date.
Those who have announced are: B.
A. Morgan, Of GreenviTle; S. J. Mich
oils, of this city. Nid-olls was de-
feated by Mr. Johnson last summer,
and Robert CAN'T, of the local Jar.
Those wnom gossip has put in the
race are: Col. T. C. Duncan, o. Union;
Hon. L. ]. Browning, of Union; Jess
". Boyd, Of Spartanburg, and Hon.
r. A Cooper, of Laurens.
In the best informed circles t2ere is
belief that Mr. Cooper will not en-
ter the race, but t-row his strength
and support in Laurens to B. A. Nor
gan, of Greenville. Morgan is sail to
have managed Cooper's campaign for
governor in GreenTille county last
summer.
