MILDLY BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Vermont Cadet Has Best First Year
Mark in Annapolis History.

Midshipman Joseph W. Paige, Jr.,
of Johnsburg. Vt. has obtained the
highest mark in the history of the Ma
val Academy for the first years work.
He had an aggregate of .76.4 in pos
sible 80. which is over per cent.
higher than the best previous figure
and nearly per cent. better than the
next highest in his class He was
first in every subject.
OF the twenty-four midshipmen in
the three classes who obtained a star
grade, for which an aggregate of IS
per cent. is necessary, seven are from
Massachusetts, the largest number
from any State. OF the nine stars in
the next graduating class Massachu-
setts hes four and Indiana three, while
Missouri and Illinois each have one.
Arizona has two of six stars in the
class, Massachusetts two, Maine and
Missouri one each.

They Should Welcome the Probe.
From the Baltimore Morning Sun.

From the Baltimore Morning sun.
Admiral Fullam and other officers al
the Naval Academy say that they re
sent the probe that is now going on
with regard to the examination scan
dals. so far as il affects themselves
But why? There is no intimation from
any quarter that they have been con-
cerned in anything culpable.
The suggestion is simply that
they have made errors of judg-
ment in dealing with the present case,
and it is no reflection on them to say
that they are..not infallible.
In point of fact, what seems to have
been very clearly established by the
testimony is that an error of judg-
ment was made, and that either a very
large percentage of the midshipmen
were guilty of availing themselves of
advance information, or that none of
them was guilty of doing anything but
what has been done for years.
If Admiral Fullam was in error, he
would surely rather have that error
corrected than to be a party to injus-
tice and discrimination. If midship-
men have been cheating by wholesale,
then they should be convicted by
wholesale. This is not case for the
selection of special scapegoats. And
if wholesale cheating has been going
on, is not the system at fault?
We think the Admiral and all others
concerned should welcome thorough
investigation which may remove the
causes that have produced this trouble.

UNION HAD DESTRUCTIVE
FIRE LAST TUESDAY NIGHT
ASSUME DUTIES
OF POSTMASTER
b. b. James, Recently Appointed TO
This Position, Took Charge
First of April.

Mr.. B. B. James, recently appointed
postmaster for Union, took charge of
the office on April 1st, succeeding
Mr.. l.. G. Young, for the past sew
eral years postmaster here. For a
number of months the battle over the
appointment was waged, with the
final result that Mr.. James won the
position.
Mr.. James, has for a number of
years, been a member of the firm
of The Union Grocery Co., here and
is we'll qualified for the duties of
the position to which he has been
appointed. Mr.. l.. G. Young, the re-
tiring postmaster, filled the place
admirably. Under his administration
and through his efforts, the rural
route service out of Union was
greatly improved, and many advan-
ces in the service generally, were
made.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1915-04-02
Card From Mr.. l.. G.. Young

Mr.. Editorials my term as Post
master has expired, | desire to use
this means of thanking the patrons
of the office, both city and rural, for
their almost unanimous endorsement
of me for reappointment. 1t has been
my endeaver since my appointment
to render to the patrons of the Office
the most satisfactory service of which
! was capable and | feel that such
an endorsement given me means that
to some extent, l have succeeded in
my endeavors. l wish to thank nv
endorsers and do assure each and
every one of them that l am exceed
ingly proud of such an endorsement
and will ever cherish it as a fond
memory.
When 1 took charge of your offic.
you were served by an assistant, two
clerks, three daily and one tri-weekly
rural routes, at a, yearly cost of
$S,4O0.OO; now you have an assistant
four clerks, three city carriers, five
daily rural routes. two ianitore q nd
man messenger, at a yearly cost
of SIT, 10000. Through my activity
not only were these conveniences
added to your Office but, a rural route
was added from Buffalo, from Jones'
vile and from Whitmire, to serve the
lower part of this county; and
through my instrumentality as Post
master, the order was secured for
beginning the Soil Survey of your
county.
During my incumbency the Regis.
ter and Money Order business has
been completely changed, to the great
convenience of the public. The Pos
tai Saving System added to the SER
vice (at one time your office had the
banner deposits of the state). The
Parcel Post has revolutionized the
burdensome charges of the Express
Company and brought the producer
and consumer into closer relations
with each other to the great advan-
tage of both. The feature of cash
on Delivery and Insurance, add to the
convenience of exchange and safety
and the whole at very little cost.
With all these changes and addition, :,
to the service, your office has kept
abreast of the times; and city and
rural service added by use of maps
of the county and detail maps of thy
city, made by your Postmaster ut
his own expense and labor.
In conclusion, allow me again t.
thank the patrons for the uniforr.
Kindness and encouragement given
me and | hope that my successor will
have similar support from them that
the office may continue to grow in
efficient and satisfactory service.
Yours truly,
l.. G. Young, Postmaster.
