Beer License Observation-Disclosures.

A big rucus has arisen in the
| State Line area just outside of
Tabor City on the Green Sea road
relative to the temporary decision
of the South Carolina Tax Com
mission not to reissue beer lie
enses to seven business firms
there.
Some time ago a petition was
circulated among property owners
in the Finklea, Green Sea and
TABOR City communities request
ed the lax commission TO withhold
resistance OF beer licenses for
seven firms when their renewal
came up at the end of June.
ne tax commission was noti-
fled of this petition by Sheriff
John I. Henry of Horny county
and as of July 80, no licenses were
rciSsued TO the businesses of Luth-
er Powell, Incz Granger, l.. b.
Fowler, n. II. Ward. Rebecca
Granger and Boyd Fowler. For
reasons unknown. license was
reisSued unconteSted to Paul And
erSon and Austin Gore, although
the petition for not issuing lie
enSe included these men also.
On Monday of this week. Powell,
l.. b. Fowler and Boyd Fowler
appeared before d representative
Oh the tax commission in CONWAY
and pied their case in an effort to
get their beer licenses back. The
argument was recorded by the
commissioner and has been taken
back to Columbia for considera-
ton and a permanent decision in
the near future. 1t was understood
That the beer sellers had Il petition

However, church and civic lead

Sheriff Henry in his letter to
the commission stated In the past
, months that I have been sheriff
OF this county, we have had num-

the most undesirable areas in the
county"
IF there is anything that the
tax commission can do to relieve
these people of their burdens caus-
ed by beer and possibly whiskey,
myself, and these people (signers
of the petition) will certainly APP
preciate it." Henry said in report

TUST 80 YEARS AGO, about this time
q. of year, Washington was emerging
from a long case Of the jitters.
The Civil War had been increasing
in fury for more than year and a
half, and the trend was far from fa-

Capital had been living in dread Of
Confederates surging over the hills to
the south, with their blood-curdling
Rebel yell, and taking the city.
Soon after the war started in April,
1861, Union troops occupied Alexandria
and established so-called defense line
on the Virginia side of the Potomac.
But it was doubtful whether the line
could stop a strong assault.

below Alexandria, extended northward
in a zig-zag course to Chain Bridge

around the city, ending at Fort Greble,
which stood on the hills behind the
present site of Boiling Air Force Base.
Interspersed among the forts were
numerous batteries. When the war

6. 0. P. Plans TO Rush
Nomination Of 2,35O
For Postmaster Jobs
Several Hundred Names
Due to Go to Senote
When Congress Returns
BY the Associated Press

The Republicans repeatedly
plan to lose no more time filling
about 1850 postmasterships.
They. expect to start sending
appointments for the jobs to the
Senate for confirmation as soon
as Congress resumes sessions
January 6.
Chairman Carlson of the Sen
ate Post Office Committee, said
today he understands several
hundred" names are ready to be
sent up quickly.
He said his committee will go
to work promptly to prepare the
lists for action by the Senate.
A Post Office Department Off
cial said there are about $500
postmasters of all four classes
to be named. He said about O.
$50 of the openings were in the
tlrSt three claSSes-the ones filled
by presidential appointment with
Senate confirmation. The fourth
class posts are filled by the de-
partment itself.
Backlog Built Up.
A backlog of appointments to
be made of first, second and
third class poStmaSterships has
been building up for almost a
year and a half. The Eisenhower
administration succeeded in
getting only IS nominations to
the Senate this year before Con-
gress quit August 3.
This was because the Repub-
licanS ordered new Civil Service
examinations for all vacancies
after they took office last Jan
uary. They found all the Civil
Service registers compiled before
January 20. 1858, were filled with
Democrats.
The poStmasterShipS are under
Civil Service and applicants
must pass tests. Nevertheless
the jobs nearly always go to
members of the party in power
nationally. The President may
nominate any one of the three
persons placing highest on the
list established for each vacancy
by competitive examination.
Normally he consults members
of the House or other political
leaders before making the
choice.
Some Resist Dismissal.
Senator Carlson said he knew
of some cases in which Demo-
cratic incumbents were resisting
efforts to get them out of their
jobs where Post Office Depart
ment inspectors had found ir-
regularities in their offices.
Other Republican sources on
Capitol Hill said that the G. o. P
had been successful in recent
months in getting some Demo-
