K. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postof fice at New errr. S. C., as and class matter. Friday, October 4, 1907. HAS NEVER BEEN TO NEWBERRY. A few (lays ago a communication appeared in llic Stale from Sumter, -making complaint that the post olTice at that place closed its outer door at f) o'clock, that even those persons, who owned lock boxes, could not pet their mail after that hour, and stated that il was the only post office of the second class in the United States where mail could not he received through lock boxes after !) o'clock at niu-hl. The parly, who wrote the Idler. has probably never been lo Xewherrv. Our ollice is closed promptly at 0 o'clock and the mail that comes in at 0:5ft is not distributed until after S o'clock the next day. We notice from the Sumter Ttem that ibis complain*! has been remedied and thai the postmaster slates that no complaint ha<l ever been made l?? him. but that lie had been working on (he matter for nearly a year and that in a few days lie would be able to give llie people access to the office at riiglit. In fact, he proposes after the lf>th of this month to put. on a night clerk, who will have c1iar.ce of the office and make up the mail that is deposited during the night. Of course the general delivery will not be open at night, but persons who nave locked boxes, will be able to go into the lobby and secure their mail and deposit outgoing mail. In our post ollice if it should happen that trains Nos. 18 and 10 are made mail trains, il will scarcely be possible to buy /stamps or secure money orders except at very brief intervals, because while mails are being put. up, I lie money order, stamp and registered letter windows arc either closed or there is no one at any of them to wait upon those who desire to buy stamps or money orders. This sine times works a great inconvenience, and persons have to wait until the mail is distributed or go away and come again. We thought that when Hie office was made a second class office and separate windows were labeled for stamps and registered letters and money orders that at least during the office hours there would be someone constantly at these windows to wail upon I lie public. If the force al present is no! sufficient tor I his work, the government certainly ought to furnish additional help. '11 town of this size and al an olfice th:i1 does | ht> business that is done at Newberry, it should not be necessary lo close down these windows while mail is being put up. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? The people of this community would be gliul to know why the Standard Warehouse Company can afford to store co 11 on at fJrcenwood at 10 cents per bale while il charges 20 cents for l-iie same service at Newberry. The following is a copy of a circular, which has been distributed throughout this connly. and though il gives a free advertisement to the Warehouse business, we give il this prominence in order to in<|uire from the management al (he warehouse at Xewberrv why this discrimination should be made aaginst this city. If I he Standard Warehouse ('/unpnnv can at lord to cut the price al (Ireenwood. il certainly ought to do even better lor the town of Xewberrv, where it lias a monopoly of the business. I lie la rulers, instead of building a warehouse ol their own here, have been patronizing the Standard Warehouse Company, and this concern has gotten all of the business. If the Standard Warehouse can afford to store cotton at 1(1 cents the hale where il has compel it ion il ought to be able lo do s where it lias a innopolv. flic lollowing is the circular: "To meet the cut made by the Standard Warehouse company at this point only, we will store and insure and grade your cotton for 10c per bale per month, the fractional part of a month to count as a mouth. Our Warehouse, located in the center of the city on the S. A. L. Railroad, is up-to-dalc in all respects. We have a large platform and.a fine sample room for the display of your cotton. We solicit the patronage of all who have cottn to store.' Representative Nash, of Spartanburg. may be depended upon to have in hi< grip when he lands in Columbia next January a prohibition bill that will cover the state like a blan-1 kot.?'Anderson Mail. Representative Nasb lost his gi on (lie prohibition leadership h winter when he disowned his own o spring and fought the} prohibits bill. The prohibitionists better 4el< another leader. Newberry complains of having go to Columbia or Greenville to g to Augusta. With Greenwood and C lumbia, why go to Augusta??Sene Journal. The jx>int is well taken. 0 Newberry friends should c&me to A derson.-?Anderson Mail. We are afraid il might crowd y too much. II W(?uld appear thai (lie prospc live candidates for mayor and ald< man arc timid this year. It is tii to be tellinu' the people about it. V want to sec ;hi administration elect' in favor of >1 reel and sidewalk ii provement. The slightest rain malt it necessary to wade over your sho to pass I'mm one place to anotln Hotter sheets and sidewalks must Die slogan. Charleston is gelling ready Cor t! Fall Festival and has announced I dale of I he annual event. Novemb IS to A line programme will 1 given and with redueed rates on t railroads and the Charleston si or 111 led with holiday bargains it will 1 hard to resist taking a trip. The present high school law, passed by the last legislature ai as interpreted by the state board ' education, should be repealed. Those persons, who have oppos* street paving, if there bo any sin in Newberry, and especially the pa ing of the little section of Caldwi street from Friend to Main si ret should walk out in front of the fr ternity ball building and see how has been decorated by the mil which was thrown upon that buil ing during the little rain, which \ had on Saturday. The fact, is, all our streets and sidewalks, except tl sidewalks which have been paved, a in ii fearful condition and the lea rain makes them almost inipassab! We would like to sec the administr tion, which is soon to be electe elected on the issue of better stree and sidewalks for Newberry. Several lots have been sold frot ing on Friend street. We nnderstai llial the various committees and t oily council, who have had the im ter of widening the streets in chart have not done anything definite. V hope that these people, whom wc a satisfied are interested in the wide ing of our streets, will not del) action any longer. If there should he any persoi who own property on these streei who will not ?ive the necessary lan or sell il at a reasonable figure, tl thing for the city to do is to go ahci and widen right up to their lots ai let them project into the street fn ther than their neighbors. Tfccy w soon realize I lie advantage, and n only Jo she city, but to the proper owners of having the streets wide ed. and wc are sure there will be t ditlicnlty in securing all of the pro erly f?<.?n Caldwe'l street to Calliou This -Ircvt ,-j.n ':? made or.e of 11 prettiest in the city and the time get it widened is before the buriv places arc rebuilt.
