one succeeds Ebe 7. Lynch Who on

Senator Salisbury last week rec
commended the appointment of NJ s.
Fredonia c. Loiiand. wife of William
c. Lohand of Lewes, Delaw TO
be postmaster at Lewes. She is an
ACCOMPLISHED woman of that town, well
known by evry one. and her husband
Is one Of the most prominent business
men of the locality. who has been an
active Democratic leader for many
years and always a devoted friend of
Senator Salisbury. The appointment
is the result Of the failure of the two
men who were candidates to agree in
accordance with letter sent them by
Senator Salisbury some weeks ago.
and the terms of the Senator's letter
can now we'll be understood where he
said if they did not agree he would
appoint some person who had not been
recommended by any one for the
place. 1t will be observed that
Senator Salisbury did not say he
would appoint some other man to
the place. and he Thursday told a re-
porter of Wilmington Morning News
that he was simply carrying out the
intention he had at the time he wrote
the letter-that if the men could not
agree upon an appointment among
themselves he would recommend the
appointment of some capable woman
to the position.
So far as can be ascertained. Mrs.
Lohand's appointment meets with
general approval and satisfactorily
ends long continued struggle over the
appointment by the friends of the ri
val candidates. who could not even
agree to divide the honors and emolu-
ments of the place between their
candidates on what was considered to
be reasonable terms. Senator Sauls-
bury gave to the reporter a copy of
the letter he wrote Thursday to Mrs.
Lofiand. who had not the slightest idea
that she would be rendered the posi-
tion. In this letter he said:
"July 20, 1916.

mended TO the President your appoint

nation concerning the telephone
business ia Texas. He said his COM
pauv was under agreement with the
department Of justice to acquire only
certain properties belonging TO the
Independent company 10 exchange
FOR properties OF equal value. and
that under this agreement the south
western could not and would not
take over the Independent company
az Waxahachie. lie declared the
independent company was a good
strong company. capable of putting
through any plans and promises
made the people. He further said
that some perhaps were laboring un-
der the impression hat the smaller
Of the two companies would even
tuailv die ont and that the town
would have but one telephone, but
in his opinion this would not be a
good guess. lie said Waxahachie
was an important station from
long distance viewpoint and that it
would be necessary to maintain ter
minals here IN order TO keep up the
feeders for these lines.
In advocating the merger he said
the surviving company would obi
gate itself to take care of all the
employees with the exception of enc
of the managers. but it would take
the same number of operators to
operate the one as it does the two
exchanges now. He further said in
support Of the claim that a better
rental on business phones would be
necessary to secure the merger that
It would cost a considerable sum TO
purchase one OF the plants and that
much OF the property would be of
no use.
He further told about the towns
where mergers had been effected
which are Abilene, Clarksville, Tex
arkana. Ennis, Marlin, Mart. Walnut
Springs, Clifton, Houston Waco and
Bolton. lie said there were seven
towns where the opposition had died
out and these were FL Paso, Fort

that mergers we're sought at Hills
