C.t there are some things of which
re must complain. There is one thing
=: IA esicu.ar of which we must COM
.::..aim. The "some things" consist for
::1c most part of the poor coaches
which are generally to be found on
the ''branch." We are told, and we
have never heard it denied, that this
piece Of road is one of the best pay
ing pieces of property owned by the
Southern. Certain it is that two-thirds
of the freight which comes into Abb
beville comes over this line. Now, we
have never been able tc see or under
stand why ttcre should be chair cars
on the main line where the road does
:::ot make money, and none on the
rranch Lines where the road does
make money. We think that Capt.
CAPT. Syfan and his crew are entitled
to better equipment than they get
aid we warn the Southern now that
il it does not improve the present
coaches CT if it transfers the coaches
on the Asheville- Murphy route to the
Abbev;lle branch, it is our purpose to
sue for damages for tearing our Sun
day coat on one of the poor seats in
the Branch coach one day last sum-
mer. i
Blu. our particular grievance is the
Tine it takes the Southern Railway to
get the mail from the depot to the
post office. We hear the Seaboard
blow for the station and in five min
ltes we see the mail on the way to,
the post office. But the Southern
comes in and people hang around the
post office waiting for the morning
nail for thirty and sometimes forty
five minutes. We understand that the,
Seaboard is further from the post Of,
flee than the Southern and for that
reason the mail from the Seaboard
is handled by negro contractor,
while the mail from the Southern
must be delivered by the Southern it
self.
1t seems to us, if this is the case,
that the Southern should be as able
to deliver mail promptly as the negro
{ co.!t-actor. The fact that it does not
have so far to haul the mail, and that
it is five, ten, and more times longer
in doing so, shows that the Southern
is not mindful of the rights of the
people of this town, and, having the
whip handle, is disposed to do as it
pleases. 1t employs as trifling ne
gro for the work as can be found in
the town of Abbeville. 1t is said that
he is required to unload trunks, put
them in the trunk house and to do
other duties before delivering the
mail, but of this we are not sure.
Whatever the excuse for delaying the
mail, the excuse is not a valid one.
The people of this town are entitled
to have the mail, and especially the
morning mail with the daily papers,
promptly delivered, and we are not
getting our rights. We should have a
Perhaps it would be well for
the Chamber of Commerce to get
busy on this matter.

eleven VACANCIES REMAIN
TO Be FILLED IN SCHOOLS
County Board OF Education Is Unable
To Furnish all Schools With Tea IN.
ers For Lack Of Applicants.

The Mason County Board of Edlca-
tion finds itself in very precaricus
condition because of their inability to
find teachers to fill the vacancies ex-
isting in the county schools.
The board held its regular month
ly meeting at the Superintendent Of
flee on Monday and the chief order of
business was the election of adchers
to fill eleven vacancies. There were no
applicants for the schools and the
board was compelled to adjourn with
out filling these vacancies. The Sc
we're examinations required of teach
ers at present is given as one of the
causes of the lack of applicants II is
hoped however that before time for the
schools to open these vacancies car be
filed.
Another important action of the
County Board taken Monday is that
students may enter any County High
School wether they have passed thJ
County Common School examination
or not if they pass an entrance exam
ination that may be given by the High
School principal.

LANES N COX. ONO

San Francisco, July g. - James NJ.
Cox, three times governor of Ohio, was
nominated for the Presidency early
this morning, by Democratic National
convention in the breakup of one of
the most prolonged deadlocks in the
history of national political parties. II
took forty-four ballots to make
choice and it was not until the thirty
eighth, when Attorney General Paine,
withdrew from the race, that the long
succession of roll calls showed any
definite trend. In the turnover Of the
Palmer delegates Cox gained tie ad-
vantage over William G. McAdoo, his
rival for first place since early in the
balloting, and that advantage wes
never lost.
When the scattering Palmer dele
gates, who, after being released, had
swung to McAdoO, drifted over into the
Cox camp in increasing numbers and
Cox began to take commanding place
in the balloting, Cox gained more than
a majority and the fight was easy. The
convention stampeded to him, flung
aside its rules, and made his nouiina-
ton unanimous with shout
A terrific uproar followed. The
whole mass of delegates threw them
selves into a final wild demonstration,
greater than any of the orgies of moi Q
| that had preceded.
In the midst of the din, Chairman
Robinson succeeded in restoring a
semblance Of order to get the adjorrn-
ment until noon so that Governor
Cox's wishes as to his teammate could
be learned.
E. H. Moore, of Youngstown, o., ma
tional committeeman from the sta p
and leader of the tireless and uphill
fight that won the nomination for the
Ohio governor, said it had been nade
without promises. The struggle was
exceeded in voting duration in Demo
cratic annals only by the fight at Bal.
timore in 1912 which gave the Presi
dent his first nomination on the 4Stf
ballot.
|
Just who the Vice Presidential nom
inee will be is quite question. Secre
tary of Agriculture Meredith, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, Governor Smith o
New York, and Ambassador Davis, o
West Virginia, seem the favorites. /
is not though that the convention will
be long in selecting the nominee 70
second place.
