Post Office ADVANTAGES.

lWhile the community center prices,
&or the most part, are lower, the Post
4dice Department has the better of
xhe argument in the matter of deliv-
cry, say the promoters of the plan. In
1uying through the parcel post
xpuseholders merely will have to fill
cut an order blank and give it to the
4ostman with the money. In due
Hime the goods will be received. The
9ther plan involves transporting by
TIE purchaser of the commodities from
Che community centers to the homes.

Vivid Contrasts Shown.

Vivid contrasts between private and
municipal handling Of street car lines
yesterday. ~ For n more ' than two
hours Frederick ]. Macleod Of the
Massachusetts public service COM
mission had told of the causes lead
ing to the abandonment of lines in
that state to a tep-cent fiat fare in
Boston and elsewhere, and to the
calling of special sessions of 1egfs-
latures to deal with the emergency.
Public ownership. he said. might well
be forced upon the state to escape
complete destruction of it's local
transportation system.
Fielder Sanders. city commissioner
Of Cleveland for street railways. fol-
lowed Mr.. Macleod, and the picture
he drew was startling by contrast.
He said the Cleveland plan has
worked so successfully that recently
fares. went down s per cent almost
simultaneously with 25 per. cent in
crease in wages of operatives.
The Cleveland plant. he said. was
now rated as the finest surface sys--
tenn in the country. and attributed
it's success largely to popular sup
port. The people Of Cleveland have
confidence in the plan. he said. anu
are all working to make it a success.

Pay More for Postage.

I e The community center quotations.
arranged by the Citizens Co-opera-
tive Buying League, include a 5 per
bent charge for overhead expenses.
The post office rates include, of
.Eourse. the cost of postage. Both dis
rributing agencies start with the
4ame basic prices. but the postage, IT
$ppears, exceeds the per cent over
head charge. For example:
y Tomatoes, No. can. "a cans to
the case. may be bought at the COM
munity centers for s2.76 a case. or
III u cents a can. If delivered at the
door of the purchaser through the
parcel post they will cost S3.06 case,

"a Other comparisons are-Corn and
peas. No. cans. parcel post charge,
$2.50 case and 1012 cents can;
Hommunity center charge. $2.2S a

Sffice will deliver 100 pounds of -four

HAS A FINE OPENING

We regret that we could not ac-
cept the kind invitation of Superin-
tendent J. C. Brooks to be present
at the opening of the Whitmire
school on Monday morning, but it
is difficult for us to get away from
the office ON Monday especially
when it is as far as Whitmire. We
give him notice now, however, that
we are coming up that way some time
very soon, and will pay his school a
visit. We feel somewhat like this il
our school, and we have always taken
a lively interest in it.
Mr.. Brooks writes: Enrolled
about three hundred, and the pros
poets for a successful year are great.
That Is good, and we trust that MS
expectations may be more than real
lied during the year and that the
work may be pleasant and profitable
to teachers and pupils alike.

Tin to late last night Dr. c. Fred
Williams, superintendent Of the State
Hosnital for the Insane, had received
absolutely nothing which would indi-
cate the direction T. y. Vaughn had
zone when he escaped from the 1nstl-
tution Monday night Officials
throughout the country have been
warned to keep a sharp loakout, and
as Vaughn's personality is so Marked
it is believed he will soon be appre-
hended.
The theory has been generally ad-
vanced that Vaughn in some way had
received the news that an order had
been signed by Judge Peurifoy IN
Greenville last Saturday to remand
i Vaughn to the Greenville jail for
tsts as to his sanity, No information
that this order had been issued hao
been received by the authorities Of
the hospital, and DR.. Williams EN-
;phasized last night that it Vaughn
had any intinlation of it, the hosplta
authorities did not know it.
! Vaughn was sentenced to death II

little girls in the Odd Fellows Or
phanage at Greenville. He was com
7nitted TO the State Hospital for tn
Insane for observation, as tn

The prospect of an unusually large
attendance Of students for this yeal

:: to be turned away. The college au

prepared, will be furnished at SIS
per month.
The repairs on the dormitory and
other buildings will be finished this

done at all under present conditions
is grown mans job, and to pay for
what is done is no joke.

has room in the dormitory. Foot
ball practice will begin on Tuesday,
the 10th. The college put out no
football team last year, and hence

it strongly together.

ert's.
