FREE DELIVERY DELAYED.
Inspector Here to Establish it But
City Council Not Ready After
Nine Months.
The post offlee inspector has been
in Newberry for several days hav
ing come here for the purpose of
completing the arrangements for the
institution of free delivery to which
the city is entitled. Owing to the fact,
however, that city couneil has not fin
ished posting the names of the streets
at the various street corners, the in
spector declined to do anything. This
will probably delay the institution of
free delivery for several months. The
inspector has a great many other ap
pointments and may not be able to
get here before the first of next year.
If city council had fiiiished the
work, which was known to be neces
sary in order to have free delivery
established, it is very probable that.
it would have been put into operation
here within the next few weeks. The
ifnspector will not take up the matter
until those things required by the
movernment are complied with. City
council had notice of these require-!
ments at least nine months ago and
knew that the city would be entitled
to free delivery, and it does seem that
ouncil should have been a little more
active in meeting the requirements
of the government. The inspector
said that the numbering of the hous
es was all right and met his appro
val. but that before he eould recom
mend the establishment of free de
livery the street smust all have the
names posted at the corners. Only a
portion of, the streets have been so
labeled, and the posts -and the names
that have been-put up have a very
antiquated appearance, and one might
judge from looking at them that they
were in a town that was just receiv
ing free delivery some one hundred
years ago.
It is a great pity that the city
while it was going to the expense to
do this work, did not provide steel
or iron posts with at least respectable
looking labels containing the name
of the street. The boards that are
nailed on the posts that have been
put .ip are just high enough to strike
the pedestrain in the eye if he should
get a little too close towards -the post,
but we suppose they are better than
nothing, -and that councit will con
tinue to erect such cheap looking de
vices tor the labeling of the streets.
Until this is completed, however, the
citizens need not expect -any steps
further to be taken for the establish
mnt anid inauguration of free ldeliv
cry of mail.
Death of Mr. T. M. Neel.
Mr. Thomas M. Neel, a native of
this county and one of the oldest of
our citizens, died at his home in the

Mr. Neel had been in bad health

most successful farmers of the county
and a good, upright and substantial
itizen.
-Burial was had yesterday after

Death of Mr. Jno. A. Cromer.

BIG LAND DEAL.
Means the Erection of a Third Cot
Mill in Newberry-Mr. W.
Y. Fair's Place.
Mr. William Y. Fair has sold
home place, about one mile north
Newberry, to Mr. Foster N. Mai
and Mr. George S. Mower for $16,(
The deed was made and the mo:
paid on Tuesday. I
It- was mentioned in The Her
and News some weeks ago that th
gentlemen had secured an option
this place with a view to build
a cotton mill. They decline to talk
this subject at present, but it is
tirely probable that the land
been purchased for the purpose
erecting a cotton mill. and the f
that they have bought it is 'str<
evidene'e that they have all of tli
other -arrangements made and
doubt will begin very soon to org
ize and to build another cotton i
in Newberry.
The place contains about two hi
ded and fifty acres of land, a p
tion of it in the incorporate limits
the city and all of it adjoining
city. It is admirably located for
purpose of building a mill, conve
e;it to the city and the C.. N. &
railroad runs through the plantat
so that tnie mill could he erected
the railroad without the necessity
anv great amount of spur track.
sur track could also be run to
Southern at very little expense.
WNe trust that these gentlemen v
soon have their organization compl
ed and that work will be commeno
on a third mill for Newberry in
near,future.

The following extract from a let- h
ter froin Dr. J. B. Hawkins, of Mex- '

her interest by some of the readers of The t

i' whether he is a member of the Hawk- 1
Sins family of this county, but the pro- C
~on bability 'is that he belongs to that
the same family. He certainly was a
*member of the old 3rd 5. C. regiment.
bly He is writing for a copy of Dickert 's L
rds~ History of Kershaw 's Brigade and in n
P.the course of his letter has the fol- I
yr, lowing to* say of his record: .c'
"I was a member of Company A,
