ing, according to reports made to Gen.
eral Superintendent w. H. Riddell, oi

AS an illustration of the use to
which the parcel post is being put by
merchants, it was asserted by Superin-
tendent Riddell that recently an en-
tire freight car was loaded with indl-
viddal cases of asparagus and ship
ped by parcel post rates. Each parcel
however, conformed to weigh regula-
tions. and it would not have been pos

Department officials said that there
appeared to be no reason why suffi-
cient numbers of crates to make up a
half car or a carload cannot be snip

cells of a perishable nature, however,
which are likely to spoil within the
time reasonably required for transpor-
tation and delivery, will not, 1t was
said, be accepted for mailing. The
rates for parcel post matters depend
upon the zone to which shipped and

APPEAL TO THE SCHOOLS.
President Riggs Wants Help for the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation.

Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer:
The schools and colleges are called
upon to assist in raising South Caro-
lina's quota of $4,000 to the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation. The appeal should
be particularly strong to the school
boys and girls OF this state, because
Mr.. Wilson spent. a part. of. his ,school
days in South Carolina.
It Is not the amount contributed
which counts 80 much as the number
of individuals who, show interest py
giving even small amounts. If the aV-
erage contribution from the school
children of the stateFwere as mrch as
ten cents their obligation would be
fully met.
It is proposed to raise one million
dollars as a permanent foundatloh.
With the income from this foundatlon
awards will be made to individuals ana
eroups who have rendered distinguish

The street cars are running again,
despite the strike Of motormen and
conductors which has been In progress
for about two months now. The thir-
teen cars that are being operated are
in charge of non- union men, most of
them sent here from Spartanburg.
There has been no trouble between the
operators and the strikers during the
past few days and the local union
heads have given the authorities as
surance that there will not be. For
more than a week policemen in auto
mobiles were. detailed to follow each
car from one end of the line to the
other, in order to Illustrate at
tacks upon the operators. The
policemen were taken off the as
signment this week. So far no ef-
fort has been made to operate the
cars at night. Whether there Will be
any fighting remains to be seen. In
some quarters there Is doubt as to
whether the heads Of the street car
union can hold in check the most hot
headed Of their numbers. Anyway
mighty few people are riding the cars
and many people. both men and wo-
men, are wearing a ribbon which
bears the legend: .."As long as street
cars are operated by non-union men
we will walk" p

Can ex-Gov. John Gary Evans OF
Spartanburg, capture the Democratic
nomination for governor? The dope
around the state house is that the for
mer governor will again seek the
gubernatorial chair as the representa-
tive of the anti-Blease forces OF the
state. State house politicians argue
that Mr. Evans has been talking ana
writing of politics quite bit during
the past few weeks and that he Is the
strongest anti-Bleasite candidate that
could be put out. Formal announce
ment Of Mr.. Evans's candidacy at any
time would not be surprising.

Grating between Mexico and Rood
house, Ill, and No. 27 and 28, plug

weeks, supply. This dispatch said
that if the coal situation became more
acute, additional curtailmentts of
train service would be made.

the present time and make local stops
arriving at Kansas City one hour
later than at present, and train No.

STRIKE AGAIN
UP TO THE
WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-Failure 8.
Of the railway executives to accept
President Harding's program of
peace, accompanied by evidence that
they are thirsting for a showdown
fight with the federated shop crafts
unions, has thrown the whole rail
situation back to the White House,
with no immediate relief in sight.
Realizing that the governments
next step may have to be one of far
reaching consequences, advisers to
the President say It was the admin
istration's plan to proceed slowly and
with the utmost care in a situation
that is admittedly more critical now
than it has been at any time since
the tie-up began, nearly five weeks
ago.
It is considered likely that no steps
would be taken until after Fridays
cabinet meeting.
Three avenues of action appeared
open TO the administration today:
"a ssaslnaa eoatrDl nf the roads-@-a
thing the government does not want
to do.
To keep hands off entirely and let
the matter be fought out between the
roads and the strikers.
To refuse to accept the cold turn
down given them and continue their
efforts for peace,
The rail unions have voted full
acceptance of Harding's peace plan.
