MAY GET PosTMAsTERsH1P
.. ]. McElhaney Recommended
by Republican Chairman.

1t begins to look as if there will
be a change in the postmaster
ship of Fort Mill within a few
days. Word was received in Fort
Mill from Washington Saturday
that G.. j. McElhaney had been
recommended for the local post
mastership by Joe w. Tolbert,
Republican State chairman, and
that Mr.. McElhaney probably
would be advised to take charge
Of the Office July l as the success
sor OF w. B. Ardrey, acting post
master for the last year. Mr..
Ardrey has been anxious to give
up, the Office for some time and
several weeks ago wrote Con-
gressman Stevenson a letter stat
ing that he wished to be relieved
Of the duties of postmaster as
soon as possible. He has been
acting for the bondsmen of B. Fl.
Massey. who resigned the post
mastership July l. 1920, and has
never been officially appointed.
Mr.. McElhaney is not without
experience in the postal service.
For several years he was assist
ant to Postmaster Massey and his
friends are confident that should
he receive the appointment he will
fill the Office to the satisfaction
OF both the government and the
public. At present he is q men,
Der OF the town council of Fort
Mill. Not until a few days ago
was it known, and then only to
a few, that he was an applicant
for the postmastership. In poll
ties he has been a Democrat, a
fact which the Republican State
chairman is said to have been
aware of when the recommends
ton was made.
1t is presumed that. should Mr..
McElhaney receive the Temporal
nv appointment, he will stand tn"
civil service examination for the
permanent appointment.

ALIENS SWAMP PORTS.
Foreigners Seek Entrance Despite
Immigration Law.

immigration Law.
The 3 per cent immigration
law has been on the statute books
Of the United States less than two
months, but already it has devel-
oped enough kick" to make life
miserable for several cabinet off,
GERS and the immigration author
tiles in general. On top of the
protests of the societies of for
eigners now in this country and
those of steamship companies in
this country and abroad, the i'm
migrants themselves have taken
hand in the affair and it requir-
cred the combined efforts of hun
dreds of Boston policemen last
week to prevent a riot Oh the
docks of that city.
When the passage Of the per
cent immigration law by Con-
gress became a foregone conclu-
sion there was grand rush of
foreigners, especially from the
shores of the Mediterranean sea,
to reach the United States before
1t became operative. For the first
time in the history of steamship
companies premiums were paid
for steerage berths and even then
the demand for passage was so
heavy that ships in foreign ports
had TO anchor in midstream and
load secretly.
AS a result there were soon OH
the high seas enough Italians,
Portuguese and Spaniards to
make up the quota for one month
under the new law, Those who
arrived first were admitted, but
when the steamship Canopic
reached Boston two weeks ago
with more than 1,200 Italians and
Portuguese, the limit for June
had been reached.
The immigrants were kent
aboard ship while the steamship
company and Washington used
the wires to argue what should
be done with the shipload of for
eigners. But the italians became
restless and finally agreed to a
concerted assault on the dock of.
ficials, seeking to enter by force
the portals of the promised
land" Police reserves were re-
quired to defeat the attempt and
even then the trouble was not
quelled until after a days fight,

married and has two little daugh-
ters. He is q member of the Pres
byterian church and among the

cies, which have recently occur
red by teachers who were elected
