SELLING FEDERAL JOBS is
CHARGE AGAINST G. 0. r.
COMMITTEEMAN.

Charges that Joseph w. Tolbert,
Republican National Committeeman
for South Carolina and chairman OF
the Republican State Committee there
has peddled Federal patronage for ms
own profit have been laid before a
subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee by Senator Nathaniel b.
Dial Dem, S. Co. An aftldavit
made by one of Tolbert's former fol-
lowers alleges that the Republican
National Committeeman, who was al
So referee" in the distribution OF Fed
eral jobs there, expressed the hope
that he would realize 100000 in this
trafficking.
Tolbert has been appointed by Pres
ident Harding to be United States
marshal for the Western District OF
South Carolina, and Senator Dial is
opposing his confirmation by the
Senate. 1t was in this connection
that Senator Dial filed the allegations
of Tolbert's wrong-doing with the
Senate subcommittee.
In presenting the case to the Senate
for investigation, Senator Dial said:
T am informed that the referee IN
our State (Tolbert) sold patronage
and that the universal charge was
one-half of the first years salary, and
it is now claimed and generally be-
lieved that this practice is in vogue
The proof presented to me IS IN
Questionable on the subject and con-
yincing beyond the peradventure of a
doubt.
It is alleged that the sums collected
ranged from $500 to $4,000. One OF
Roberts referees was recently re-
iected by the Senate because he sought
to compel woman postmaster to pay
him $4,000 to bring about her con-
f;rmation, Senator Dial said.

Kellar Dem, Tenn. j, pressed for an

GERMAN CATHOLIC MISSIONS In
AFRICA TAKE ON NEW LIFE.

German Catholic missions in South
Africa, after a period of suffering and
suspension during and following the
World War, are again in fiourishing
condition. Their work is bringing a
great number of the natives into the
Church.
From small beginning in 1882,
when Father Franz Pfanner, accom-
panied by small band of mission.
aries from the Trappist convent OF
Maria-Stein in South Austria, went to
Lower Africa and founded Mariann-
hill, the missions have grown to great
size and fruitfulness. Rev. Hubert
Schmitz, S. v. d., who recently re.
turned from South Africa gave the
correspondent of the N. C. w. G.
News Service an account of the prog
ress of these missions.
Father Schmitz formerly was project
of the Mozambique mission He was
informed in Portugal during the war
On his release he went back to Africa
and visited Mariannhill, which is sit
uated near Durham in Natal. He
spoke with the eloquence of admira
ton OF the labors and charities OF the
German missionaries there, not for
getting the Sisters of the Precious
Blood, whose metherhouse is in Roer
mond, Holland.
