DROP LETTER MAIL.
BOX INSTALLED

CALEXICO, Feb. 27.-Many express
sions of appreciation are being heard
in regard to the drop letter mail box
which Postmaster Roach has had in
stalled at the front door Of the post
office. This is for use after s O'Clock
in the evening. After the night mail is
dispatched, letters may be dropped at
any time during the night i'll the box
at the door, thus eliminating the long
walk to the rear Of the office necessary
in the past.
The postal authorities forbid the re-
moval of the drop letter box from the
rear to the front of the office at this
time, owing to the fact that such Il
change would interfere with the work
Of dispatching mail during the heavy
hours of the day. Postmaster Roach has
compromised the proposition by install
ing the bcX for use at night, and will
make several other little changes in
..ended to promote the welfare Of the
patrons and add to the efficiency of
the service in the CaleXico office.

CLOSING STAGES OF
GREATEST CAMPAIGN

Columbia, April 24.-South Caro-
lima is in the closing stages of one of
the greatest campaigns ever waged in
the history of the state and which
promises before the end of the week
to result in one of the greatest vic
tories ever recorded in the state. The
campaign-to sign up 100000 bales of
cotton by May 1, to be sold through
the South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association which has
been in progress since last August is
closing amidst scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm almost everywhere in the
state, scenes that have never been
equalled in some sections not even
during the famous war drives.
Victory in the drive is declared by
the leaders to be almost certain but
taking no chances OH the fin 1 out.
come the workers are out in the field
day and right, pushing the fight every
minute. Over 100000 bales of cotton
were signed in the last two weeks
and this week is expected to see rec
ords smashed. Hundreds of farmers
who had been debating the matter ev-
er since the beginning of the campaign
signed up last week and several hun
drcd more are expected to sign this
week. In fact the drive is beginning
to assume the proportions of land
slide.
Bankers and business men, believ-
ing that the cooperative marketing
of the states principal crop will mean
more for the future welfare of the
state than anything that could be pro-
posed, are out in teh field actively at
work. Many leading business men ofe
the state have almost deserted their
places of business this week and are
giving full time to the prosecution of
the camaign.
"We are on the very eve of the
greatest victory ever won in South
Carolina" declared Harry G. Kami-
ner, president of the association, to-
day. The farmers OF the state ere
signing a new declaration of indepen-
dence. They are going to have say SO
in the price of their cotton. We ex-
pect every county in the state to go
over the top. We do not believe we
shall be >disappeiated-u a-~.,.----

FRIENDLY SUIT SETTLED
Bonds Can Be Sold Without BEING
Voted on by Citizens

Orangeburg, April 2O.-The Su-
preme Court has just handed down a
decision i'll the case of William v.
Lelgier, taxpayer, against w. B.
I lompson ard the otfer members Of
the city schools. In this case the plain
tiff sought to enjo;n the trustees from
issuing and selling $4,000 of school
bonds to erect school buildings. The
case was friendly suit and intended
to test and settle the question as to
whether school district could issue
and sell school bonds upon the au-
thority of an act of the Legislature
without first submitting the question
to the voters in ar election. Some
doubted this and the bond house
would not buy the bonds until the
question was settled. Judge Bowman
held the bonds valid without submit
ting same to the people. The Supreme
Court has sustained Judge Bowman.
The trustees will now sell the bonds
and proceed to erect the school build
ing for the colored people.
Wolfe & Berry represented the plain
tiff, while Julian S. Wolfe, ESQ.,, ap-
peared for the school trustees in their
matter.
