nothing in connection with the work
that he does not fully understand.
The high reputation Of the Office said
to be the best conducted in the state,
is in large measure due to his eff
forts to render to the public the best
possible service.
Petitions are being circulated in
behalf of Mr.. Scott, and while these
are said to be wholly unnecessary,
they reflect in a manner the high es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Scott is held by tho
community, hundreds Of patrons seiz-
ing the opportunity to express their
approval Of him.
Petitions are also being circulated
in. favor Of Richard Daeley, former
postmaster, which have been signed
by many who preferred Mr.. Scott,
but who were unaware that he was .
candidate. There is no objection
to Mr.. Daeley as man and . citi.
zen, but his candidacy is regarded -
purely political, and the public does
not care to have its mail mixed with
politics-any more than it is just
forced to. ~

 JOB IN ITS ANNALS

Greenville. January l4,-( Specially pNyhen the Conecuh street fill is com. Epleted. it will be the largest single undertaking ever accomplished oy the Icitys engineering forces
 Some yaers ago fill was built for Ia distance of about 200 yards. 90 feet high and just wide enough for tw. teams to pass. On one side of the fill a wooden viaduct was erected for pe- |destrians. Owing to the fact that the fin began to cave due to long rainy season and that the fill was too rar> now to meet the needs of increased traffic caused by automobiles, the city is doubling the width of the fill.
 To complete the fill approximately 6oo,0O0 cubic feet of dirt and concrate will be ursed. F. A. Koepcke. the citys engineer is experimenting the work advisable the drafting of scientific tariff law at this time.
 Representative Eongworth, republican, Ohio, asked several witnesses if the com mittee could safely base the rates to 'be carried in the revised law" on the present American production costs. lie also inquired if, in their opinion, the com mittee could at this time devise tariff schedules which would operate effective ly a few years hence, considering the present international exchange situation. Democratic members of the committee were quick to reply. and Representative Garner, Texas, particularly, accused the majority of being ready to grant import rates which would serve an embargo.
 Chairman Fordney interrupted to ask William Loeb, Jr., formerly secretary to President Roosevelt, and a witness before the committee, whether he had not lived long enough to know that the republican party never had passed tariff which amounted to embargo" Before MT. Loeb could more than assent, Representative Young, republican. North Dakota, said:
 You have also lived. long enough to see the republican party go out of office by passing tariff bill which was not re- adjusted to meet conditions"
 The House committee completed hear ings on metal manufacturers today, and will take up wood and wood products (Schedule D) tomorrow.
