FIGHT AGAINST BURLESON.
Substitution of Autos for Horse
and Cart Likely to Cause a Roar

Washington, December 27:-Signs
multiply that there will be a fierce
outbreak of pent-up Congressional
ire against Postmaster General Burle-
son after the holidays. The i'm
mediate cause is the reorganization
of rural routes in the various States
by the substitution of automobile
vehicles for the familiar horse and
cart affair.
1t is claimed by the department
that one automobile route can ham
die the work of several horse and
wagon routes and save the Govern
ment money without hurting the
service in any way. In some States
hundreds of rural carriers have been
dropped in the process of this con-
solidation.
Congressman, on the other hand,
declare that in many instances the
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1915-12-30

consolidation of ordinary routes into
auto routes has resulted in serious
deterioration of the service. Most
of the Congressmen who are on the
warpath against the department on
this account admit that there are
cases where economy is possible by
combining routes according to the
departmental theory, but they con.
tend that man or board of men
sitting at Washington with map is
not competent to allow for the local
peculiarities of routes and often
makes bad blunders.
1t is the idea of the average Con-
gressman that he knows his district
better than the post office depart
ment knows it, and he does not like
to be left out of consultation when
economies" of this sort are plan
ned. Listen for the roar.

"ln response to the call for contri-

$50, l04 OF has been received by the
treasurer of The Mother Church. or
this amount $77, 5o5.5l has been dis
bursed to the relief committees or
ganized by Mr.. McCrackan in Eng

gratitude has been expressed by the
Christian Scientists in these countries
for the help extended to them by
their brethren in America.
AIN addition to the $50, l0i o. col
lected for the relief of Christian
Scientists, there has also been col
lected the sum of 500, l5i.0O for the re-
| lief of war sufferers other than the
Christian Scientists. This entire
amount has been disbursed to relief
committees of Christian Scientists in
Holland, England, Germany. France
and Switzerland. The total amount
received to date for these two funds
is 81 ,25S %, of which but 81 5oS.5 81
remains unexpended. AS the need
for help still continues, this small
balance will not last long; therefore
Christian Scientists are given the OPP
portunity to continue to send cOntri-
buttons to the treasurer of The Moth
er Church for this relief work. For
the future it is proposed to maintain
but one fund, and from this both
Christian Scientists and others will
be assisted.
