The above was written for the pa
per for the issue of last Friday, but
was crowded out It's purpose is to
call attention to the foolish postal
regulations. Of course, the local Of
icers are in no wise responsible for
the regulations and all they have to
do is to follow them. The follow
ing appears in the Laurens Adver-
tiser of this week and further illus
trates the senseless regulations as
we see them. There may be reason
for these regulations but if so we
have been unable to see them.
Uncle Sans postal rates are curl
Gus things. The other day a package
was sent to the postofice weighing
three pounds and fifteen ounces and
the clerk quoted rata of thirty-one
cents on it, saying at the time that
if the package weighed four pounds it
would go for nine cents Thereupon
The Advertiser man picked up string
from the floor and asked that it be
weighed and was told that it weighed
two ounces. He then tied the string
around the package and had it all
sent for nine cents. The two ounces
of string, then, reduced the expense
of shipment twenty-five cents, max
ing the value of the string eleven
cents per ounce. That's rather high
for strings, even in this time of high
prices, 5ut, as already said, Uncle
Sans postal rates are curious
things

are under the delusion that the power
OF a nation comes from the president.
1t does not. 1t comes from the bot
tom.
The president compared the nation
to a tree which gets its power from
its roots and referring TO the great
leaders coming from the people re-
ferred to Lincoln.
at is singular" he said, how
touching every reference of Abraham
Lincoln is. 1t always makes you feel
that you wish you had been there to
help him in some fashion to fight the
battles that he was fighting some
times almost alone.
could you have predicted, if you
had seen Abraham Lincoln's birth
and boyhood, where that great ruling
figure of the world was going to
spring from?
Il have presided over university
but never deceived myself by sup
posing that by university processes
you were producing the ruling forces
of the world. l knew that all uni
versity could do if it knew it's busi-
ness was to interpret the moral
forces of the world.
$50, gentlemen, I have not come
here tonight to do anything but to re-
mind you that you do not constitute
the United States, that I do not con-
stitute the United States; that it is
something bigger and greater and
finer than any of us; that it was born
in an ideal, and only by pursuing an
ideal in the face of every adverse cir
cumstance will it continue to deserve
the beloved name which we love and
for which we are ready to die, the
name America"

1F HE SAVED 1T, WHERE is IT!"

aIF HE SAVED IAs WhEhE 10 IL
That is a sickly, very sickly claim
of Manning's that he has saved all
those thousands of dollars in the
MANAGEMENT of the asylum? If ne
has saved so darned much, what has
become of the money? Amt they ap-
propriating as heavily as ever, and
amt they spending every blamed cent
of it? If any money has been saved
who got it?-Anderson Tribune.
The above is not very elegantly
put, but there is force in the ques-
ton. We have been thinking of ask
ing the same question, but we have
been hoping that the acts of the LAST
legislature would come out at least
before the beginning of the next ses-
sion, but they have not yet been is
sued. and we have not a copy of the
appropriation bill as it passed, but
as it was presented by the commit
tee the amount for the asylum was
considerably increased. And then
there is a special levy Of one half
mill for improvements which is being
wasted on the property in the city OF
Columbia if it is the purpose, as ex-
pressed by former legislatures, to
move the institution to the country

We thought little strange when
we saw the announ Lent that Mr..
n p Traxler of 1reenville should
resign as good berth as the post
,mastership of Greenville to run what
seems from this distance to be los
ing race. Now we see in the Spar
tanburg paper that while in St. Louis
as a delegate to the Democratic ma
tional convention he received tele-
gram from the postomce department
Sat Washington that Mr.. Wilson did
not care to be the nominee of the
party at the hands of his appointees
as postmasters. IN other words we
take it the department and the pres
;ident desire it understood that post
masters must not be 100 active in
politics if they desire to retain their
positions as such postmasters.
Well, we do not think they should
be too actively partisan, but we see
no reason why they should not ex-
press their opinions if they desire,
nor why gong as delegate to the
national convention should interfere
with proper discharge of their du-
ties as postmasters.
The postal laws no need amend
Ements and changes, or rather the de-
partment should not be permitted to
be the legislative as we'll as the ad-
ministrataEe department, as it now is.
If we thought Mr.. Traxler would be
able to shake up the department IN
washington a little and put little
common sense into it, we would ike
to see him to go congress. None OF
the present congressman seem anx-
ious or even willing to tackle the job.
But from this distance from the
scene af action it would seem that
Mr.. Nichalls will succeed himself. He
has been active and has gone to work
and we scarcely believe that the peo-
pie will make change SO soon.
From all we can gather Mr..
Nichols has been after the postofflce
more vigorously than any of our con-
gressmen.
We had a concrete example of what
we mean by injecting little common
sense into the rules and regulations
of the department, Or rather We
should say illustrates what we are
trying to say. Just this week we had
a small package of Sunday school
programs to send out on a rural
route. The package weighed 81
eounces and the charge was 15 cents.
III we had padded it with rock or
some heavy material to make 1t
vsReign 4 pounds the charge would
}nave been 7 cents. If it had been
merchandise or bacon or even print
ed bill heads the charge would have
been s cents. 1t seems to US that
.such rules need changing or little
common sense put in them.
We had another illustration this
week. We had occasion to send a
package of printed cards to Pickens.
It weighed little over Is pounds
and the rate fixed by the department
aor transporting it all the way to
