order Of the postoffice department:
For a number of years there has been
trouble at the postoffice and the pres

promptly paid and resigned. Mr.
Doar, another Democrat, was made
acting postmaster then, receiving the
permanent appointment last tall.
While he was acting postmaster there
were other shortages in this same de-
partment which Mr.. Doar had TO
cover. Two months ago a shortage
of about $4,000 was discovered and OF
course the postmaster had to make
that good. His friends then demand

made of everything connected with
the local postoffice and so inspectors

here since May 20. They have un-
covered additional stamp shortages
amounting to $4,000 and on the strength
of that report Mr.. Doar has been re-
moved. The Sumter Daily Item says
