GOOD ROADS BOOSTER

to much discussion both for and "a

present to start discussion on this

the proposition. The time to do the
talking i now, and the time to dO the
road building is next summer. a GER

dispensed with before action will be
taken and by giving the subject a
thoro airing at this time. we viii he

Below we are printing a communi-
cation received from Booster:
Editor Herald Advance.
Dear Sir:
see that the good roads question
has again come up and hope that
there will be something done now to
ettle it. We need the roads, that is
crtain. I believe that in the next ttvo
or three years we are going to be able
to build roads Al. cfeaply or even
cheaper than we have ever builtethen,
and perhaps will ever build them. Sup
plies and labor will be abundant and
low priced and then Will be the time
TO build. Now will be the time to pre-
pare for the work SO that we will be
ready to take advantage of those low
prices.

DIAL GETS RILED.
Says Civil Service Examinations Are
Nothing But a Joke.

Nothing But Joke.
Taking as his text the recent COM
plant OF Senator ElkiEs of West Vir
ocrats were not being turned out Of
office fast enough, Senator \. B. Dial
today addressed the senate attacking
the administrations methods of max
ing appointments of postmasters, says
a Washington special of Monday to
the Charleston News and Courier.
The South Carolina senator describ-
ed as n farce and n travesty" the sys-
tenn of taking any one of the three
highest applicants certified by the civ
il service commission, instead of the
highest qualified applicant, as under
the Wilson administration. He also
said that there is nothing in the pres
ident's order, inst announced, that the
civil service commission shall give
preference to ex-soldiers and their
widows in postmastership examina-
tions, as the law already requires this;
and he further noted that talk of wav-
ing the age limit for veterans in these
examinations is empty in view of the
fact that no soldier of the recent war
could now be sixty-five years Of age.
Senator Dial said that the quota of
South Carolina Tor general positions
under the Federal civil service is 652,
but that the Palmetto state now has
only 301 on the civil service rolls.
Reverting, to the present adminis-
traticn of the appointive power as to
postmasters in South Carolina, Sena-
tor Dial declared that the question of
the civil service to this category of APP
pointments is a practical nullity. He
spoke of n case where a vacancy occur
red and an examination was ordered,
but ar acting postmaster was INSTALL
ed and the order for an examination
cancelled and no examination date set
since that time. The object of this,
the senator said he suspected, was to
permit practical outsider" to quail

enter my protest to any such proceed
ure," asserted the senator vehcmently,
we arc very glad down South to have
good people move amongst us, but we
think they should come for some other
purpose than to fill offices" 1t is un-
derstood that Spartanburg's postmas-
tership is the one Senator Dial had in
mind in his Illustration.
