The beef market has ruled rather
quiet, except on Thursday, when there
was very good trade, in view of the
fact that Friday was holiday. Satur-
day there was rather better trade
than usual on that day. but the extra
trade on Saturday will hardly make up
for the day lost. Quotations are rather
easy at Choice steers 71s@7%c; light
and cows, 7@7Ac; extra heavy kinds
9@91hc; light kinds Sk@S%c; heavy

The arrivals of beef for the week have
been very small here, the total for Bos-
ton having been 1875 cars, with 1870 cars
for export, total of 255 cars: preceding
week, 1877 cars for Boston and SO cars for
export total of 256 cars; same week a
year ago, $50 cars for Boston and 121 cars
for export, total of 271 cars.
Muttens and lambs are dull, with the

The market on iced poultry is rather
better, with good lots of iced fowls
bringing &c. Fresh-killed lots are
scarce, and bring good prices. Frozen
poultry is not coming forward, though
there Is still some in the hands of the
trade in cold storage.
The kill of hogs by Boston packers has
been small one, beside the week being
one day short. The total for the weel,

The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1898-02-01
Tho Newbcrry POsto fiiCe.

The time Is drawing near when the
term Of the present postmaster will en-
pire. There are several applicants for
the position. Who will be selected,
of course, we do not know. There is
one negro who is an applicant for the
position and who, we are told, has been
promised something by "Boss" Web
ster. The Herald and News is not
fighting the cause of any of the appli-
cants, though, of course, personally the
editor has his choice.
What we want to say is that the ap-
pointment Of negro as postmaster at
Newberry would meet q very warm
protest from the citizens who are pa
irons Of the office, and we hope for the
sake Of peace and good feeling among
all classes in the town and among tho
patrons Of the Office that no such ap-
pointment will be made. 1t would be q
very great mistake in the appointing
power and also on the part of the col
ored applicant for him to accept the
Office.
Postmaster General Cary should stick
to his resolution, formerly published, {,
not to appoint negro posLmasters in the
South. The Southern white people
will treat the negro all right SO long as
he behaves himself and remains in his
position. He will be protected in
his rights Of person and property.
and will be encouraged to do what he
can to better his condition, but he
is not wanted as postmaster in towns
the size Of Newberry, nor even in small
er or larger towns.
AS a friend and we'll wisher OF the
colored man who is said to be an
applicant, we hope he will not accept
the Office if it is rendered him, but in
the first place Mr.. Webster would make
q mistake to recommend his appoint
mont.

SIGMA.
who Shall 30 Governor.

Ialklng about the coming campaign
one OF the most remarkable modes of
beginning such u contest is that adopt-
ed by Senator Archer, Of Spartanburg
lie is nov an avOwed candidate, and
they say he is not a quitter. He lets
1T be known that he is candidate and
expects tho record he is making as Sen
ator to be one of his campaign argu-
ments. Now there arc great many
people who look on Senator Archer's
candidacy as political joke. This is
a great mistake. 1t Is IL serious mat
ter. Mr.. Archer is not n political
humorst. lie is not Whitman, or q
Moon, or Pope, but he means to run,
and he means business. He is not n
lightweight either, and he who thinks
so makes o serious mistake. He is q
good debater, not easily put down, and
full OF sarcasm and viciousncss in rcDly
somewhat Tillmanesquc. The plat
form is announced to be one of economy,
but that will not be the real and vital
issue in the approaching campaign.
OF course Governor Ellerbe will be n
candidate for reelection, and is to be
so regarded. His friends contend that
the wavo OF antagonism to him will
soon pass away, and If anything result
from the fight on him it will be q re-
action in his favor.
Nothing much has been heard during
the Legislative session regarding the
candidacy of Col. R. B. Watson, but he
is looked Upon as being permanently
in the race.
Ex-SolicitOr Schumpert, OF Ncwberry,
Is spoken of as a certain candidate, and
some OF his political friends say that
he has given them assurances of his
intention to make the race. Should he
decide to enter it will give a decided
flavor to the contest.
Col. Geo. ID. Tillman is also regard
ed as a very probable candidate. .-Col-

Progressing and Entsrprlsing.

One OF the most progressive and en-
terprising merchants in the city is Mr.
A. G. Jones. He is up to date in the
stock he keeps and not only 50 but in
the management and arrangement Of
his store.
He has just put in new cash'system
and goods wrapped and cash kept and
change made at one place so that there
is little liability OF q mistake being
made. His store has the appearance
OF city store on the interior and by
selling for cash only he can sell at
small profit.
