CHANGE IN PARDON
PROCEDURE ANNOUNCED
(Greenville Piedmont.)


Gov. Robert A. Cooper, while in
Greenville a few hours to speak in
the interest of the South Carolina
farm development board, today an
nounced on important change in the
procedure of considering petitions
for pardon. The change was sug-
gested by the board of pardons and
was approved by the governor. In
conversation today he said he thought
the suggestion a reasonable and good
one.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the governor in the fol,
lowing communication from the
board of pardons.
"The board suggests to your EX
cellency that if it meets with your
approval you promulgate regulations
requiring and petitions to be
published in a newspaper

crime was committed, for two weeks
prior to the meeting OF the board

sented.

THE MEANEsT EMPLOYER

The meanest employer in the Unit
ed States is not the steel corporation
the Standard Oil Company, the rail-
way companies, or any other wicked
priyate enterprise. 1t is the United
States Postofice Department. Specl-
fically and personally, it is Albert
Sidney Burleson. Mr.. Burleson is a
man of economical tastes and doml-
neering temper. He has the backing
of a congress which, when dealing
with the postoffice, is fanatically tru
gal. The consequence is that the post
Office employees-clerks, carriers and
officials of all grades-are among the
most poorly paid workers In the coun
try and that the postoffice service Is
going to pieces.
Ten years ago a postal employee
although not paid in proportion tc
his service and responsibility, was
able to live in fair comfort; now the
great mass of the CLERKS and carriers
cannot get along decently on thei7
wages. Ten years ago the postal ser
vice, despite the burden Of politlca
appointees it was obliged to carry
was as efficient as any private busi
ness: now, any one who mails let
ter is gambling on the chance that
will arrive, on time, at the right ad
dress.

years experience received $1,000 I

THREE ABBEVILLE MOTHERS

At the sixtieth anniversary OF the
Womans College at Due West last
Saturday, there was homecoming
of the former graduates, and in the
axercises of the day the rolls of the
different classes were called. When
the second class was called, Mrs
sallie Wideman Bradley and MRS.
Lucy Calvert Thomson were present
to answer. Mrs. Eugenia Brewton
Hemphill was a member Of the third
class, but was prevented from being
present by illness. These graduates
of the sixties make their homes IN
Abbeville. x, iZlE.GE.AA
No other town or city within the
confines of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Synod, we care say
can boast of having three living rep
resentatives of the college as 1T was
a half century and more ago.
Abbeville feels proud of having
the distinction of being the home OF
these good women, who have added
so much to the life of the city and
whose lives are so representative OF
the work of the college Of former
DAYS. Each is the mother of large
family of children, and these children
today rise up to cali them blessed
And shall we not say, too' that
Abbeville is a good town to live in'
when we can have this distinction.
Surely the water must be good, the
town must be good, and we kno"
the people are good.

year, which had a purchasing power
If approximately $2,4Oo at the pres
.nt time. With the war bonus OF
$3.50, which thrifty Mr.. Burleson
thinks might now be discontinued,
The same carrier receives 1850. His
purchasing power is thus only elev-
,nsixteenths of what it was in 1914.
But $3.50 is the ultimace salary OF
an experienced carrier, attainable
only after four years WORK as sub
stitute and five as regular employee
After serving his apprenticeship as
substitute, he begins, on MS fifth
year, as a regular carrier at a'salary
Of $1,000, plus the temporary 10 per
cent. bonus, and this is increased
500 each year until the dizzy maxi
mum is reached.
The faulty of the Postoffice De-
partment does not end with the pay
ment of starvation wages. 1t adds to
this the further folly of paying the
substitute carriers at any hourly rate
which is greater than that paid the
experienced carrier. The substitute
carrier who becomes a regular car
rier thus has to submit to an actual
reduction in his earning powers,
which in many cases--perhaps most
he cannot afford. More and more
of the work thus tends to be done by
substitute carriers of no experience
who have been employed under a
suspension of the customary physi-
cal and mental tests. Even this prac-
tice, which puts a premium on ignor-
ance and inexperience, does not pro-
cure enough men, and the regular
carriers and clerks are greatly over
worked.
Justice to these useful public SER
wants demands substantial increase,
even though the wings of the soldier
bonus have to be clipped and a few
cents added to the tax rate. But the
policy is costly as we'll as unjust. The
ruination of the postal service is
tax that falls heavily every day upon
every one who uses the mails. Mr..
Burleson is one of the most eXtrava
CANT cabinet officials who ever clut.
tered the country with his blunders.

S. GEORGIA BOUNDARY
LINE CASE COMING UP

Columbia, May 29.-Two impor-
tont pending state cases are to be
tried during the next few months,
and Attorney General Wolfe stated
today that he hopes to have these
cases disposed of before the end OF
the present year. Both will likely
be in the courts for sometime be-
fore finally being disposed of. One
is the Columbia canal case, the
other is the case to determine the
boundary line between Georgia and
South Carolina.
The canal case is one in which
the state is suing for recovery OF
the canal property, now held by the
Columbia Railway, Gas and Electric
Co.
The state boundary case was
brought \by the state of Georgia, to
prove that the South Carolina side
of the streams dividing the two
states is the boundary line. South
Carolina contends that the middle
of the stream is the line, and At
torney General Wolfe is confident
that he will win this case. 1t is now
pending in the United States Su-
preme Court.

CONCERNING
THE OPENING
OF SCHOOLS

The city public schools will open
Monday morning at o'clock.
Pupils within the grades / to 6 who
live south of College street should
report to Barrow school. Students
within the grades / to who live
north of College street should report
to Franklin school. All pupils who
will be in grades 7 or s should report
to the Junior High school at Franklin.
All pupils who will be in grades o,
10, II, or ~ should report to Lee
High school.
All pupils who plan to attend the
city schools should enroll on Monday
Ias regular class work will be done
Tuesday.
Although the cost of maintaining the
city schools has increased yearly since
1914 no. increase has been made in
the tuition during this period. The
Board of Trustees has finally decided
to raise the tuition fee to So a month
in the elementary schools, SIS a month
in the junior and senior high schools,
and 81 month in the negro schools
for all children whose parents live
outside of this separate school dis
trict. The tuition is payable in adj
vance. Because of the inability to
secure satisfactory settlement from
the county for the schooling of the
county pupils as provided by law the
board of trustees has decided to with
hold it's consent for the county pupils
to attend the city schools except upon
the payment Of tuition monthly in adj
vance. The school law states that a
child living in one school district may
attend school in another school dis
trict and the board of supervisors
shall pay to the school district which
the child attends for each child at
tending the amount per capita it cost
the county to maintain the county
schools the year before the two races
figured separately; but that no child
shall receive the benefit of this trans
