POSTAL SERVICE.

The local postotfice has rnCeived
request from the postoffice depart
ment asking for clippings of edto-
rials and other matter from the local
papers relative to the service There
are none available in the current is
sues of this paper but the depart
ment would gain some information
re ative to our opinion OF the service
which Lancaster is getting by read
ing the files OF recent months. We
do not recall having referred edito-
rally or otherwise to the service at
the local postoffice but recent criti-
cisms OF the train mail service are
fresh in our mind and perhaps in
the minds OF our readers. We re-
call having expressed ourselves
freely on the matter of no mail on the
early Sunday morning train which
forbids the morning papers reaching
Lancaster before 1917 and likewise
a lay-over in Rock Hill OF letters
which have travelled all night. We
suspect that what the department in
Washington wants is clippings OF
favorable comment and we suspect
also that it will encounter deal of
trouble in finding it. Most. IL not
in fact. all of the comment we have
seen In the newspapers OF recent
months on the postal service has
been anything but favorable. And
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1919-03-25
we have seen NO reasons for favora.

we have seen no reasons for favora-
BILE comment.
The postoffice department, as has
been stated in this paper on num-
erous occasions. and which every
body who has business transactions
through the mails knows even
though not seeing 1t in newspa-
per, has sacrificed service in order
to get the postal department on a
paying basis. and If it expects to see
favorable comment in the newspa-
pers, we fear it will be sadly disap-
pointed.
The newspapers of standing hesi-
tate in criticisms of any sort and
never indulge in criticisms unless
sure of their grounds and believing
that by such the people generally
Will profit. There is no real pleas
ure to be found in digging out Of a
typewriter something that will in
jure or offend. but the newspaper
business is such game that a GER
tain responsibility rests upon a man
who directs ii and il he doesn't
criticise where criticism is due and
praise where praise is merited. he
fails to fulfill his mission. The pos
tai service has no claim at this time
for favorable comment and until
the service is improved it will get
little at the hands OF the newspa-
pers.
So far as local service at the post
office is concerned The News has Of
fered no criticism. The organiza-
ton may be far from perfect but
everything that man constructs is
imperfect and the postoffice organi-
zation can be no exception to the
rule. Generally. however. we be-
lieve the service there is as good as
ii is anywhere else.

this year of grace would have been
startling to the generations of a few
centuries ago. Concrete roads could

there was no need for them then.

to be thought out: they have to be
turned over and looked at from diff
ferent angles by the great minds OF
great men. for there are many Of
lesser calibre who could see but will
not.
South Carolina would now have a
good roads law if the men in the
general assembly had been of broad

BEGINNING OF
WORLD" FAILS TO
BEGIN ON TIME
BY THE PLAYGOER.

Though handicapped at the
opening performance Sunday
afternoon by the inability
| of the feature act to appear and
the necessity of substituting an
other at the last moment, the bill
offered by the Columbia theatre,
Davenport, the first half of this
week really fills the BILL but. IN
fortunately fails to come up to the
high standard program usually to
be found at that playhouse.
THE Beginning of the World"
evidently failed to begin, for that
was the act that did not appear,
being substituted by Folis and Lee
roy, who did a singing and dancing
sketch, which, though varied to a
degree by some eccentric steps
and tumbling. was the second of
its kind on the bill. and Of conse-
quenGe less appreciable.
Though his place on it would
not indicate him as the star enter
tainer of the program, Nick HUFF
ford, a comedian of the dry hu-
NOR" type-and naturally better
able to withstand the terrors Of
these prohibition days-easily won
that distinction. if his popularity
with the audience is 10 be admitted
as evidence of that fact. He is be
yond doubt one of the best mono
logists in vaudeville, and when
putting "one over does not dis
play that fault so common to this
class OF artists, that Of waiting for
the audience to get it." 1t is the
entertainment offered by Hufford
that braces up the entire bill
"A Summer Filtration" by Pat
and Peggy Houton. while very
much the usual singing. dancing
and talking act, is lifted above that
level by the unusually pleasing ap~
pearance of the principals as well
as by their well coached teamwork
and individual acting. The Hou-
tons, with Mr. Hufford, made the
loss of THE Beginning of the
World" less keenly felt.
An acrobatic act, with a com
plete layout OF wobbly tables and
other parapherualia so common to
this form of entertainment. but
made less ordinary by the strain
of comedy injected into the sketch
by a c. Chaplin sort Of person. is
presented by Bimbo and James,
Btmbo being the individual who
initiates in his topsy-turvy way the
antics of the famous screen come
dian.
Songs of the early SOS as they
should be sung. by Ralph Dunbar's
Maryland singers" as the advance
notice says. completes the bill. Mr.
Dunbar's Maryland singers are
presented with a setting equalled
by none on the bill and intended
to be typical of the fine. old days
when fashion was taking the
course of many ruffled pantalettes
and there was no apparent need
for conservation in dress. AS bill
ed. the singers really sing the
songs of the early SOS as they
should be sung. and besides all OF
the Maryland singers. thus featur-
ed by Mr. Dunbar, who also takes
an active part in presenting the
act. seem to fit well into the elab-
crate setting of the act.
