WORK TO COMMENCE AT ONCE,
Contract for Cementing Sidewalks Award
cd to Frank Barker, Of Savannah.
Mr.. Barker'S Bid.

The contract for cementing the side
walks in the business portion of the CITY
was awarded on Friday afternoon by
the special committee from city council
TO Frank Barker, of Savannah. The
action of the committee was approved
by council on Saturday morning, and
the contract Will be signed by Mr.. Bar
ker and the city authorities this NOM
| ing. Mr.. Barker was in the city at the
time the contract was awarded and it
has been approved by him and by City
Attorney Bynum, and would have been
| signed on Saturday morning but for the
| fact that one or two of the minor de-
| tails could not be arranged by Saturday
noon, at which time an engagement
| called Mr.. Barker out of the city. Mr..
| Barker will return to Newberry this
| morning.
Mr.. Barker's bid was 81. II per square
yard for cementing and 20 cents per
running foot for curbing, the contract
to include not less than three thousand
square yards. Mr.. Barker on Saturday
wired his force at Union to come to
Newberry Immediately ready to begin
the work, and work will probably be
commenced to day if the weather is
favorable.
The cement will be put down on Main
street beginning with the stores at the
lower end of the street near the rail
road and ending with the stores at the
upper end of the street; and from the
office of The Herald and News on Cald-
well street to VIM. Johnson's hardware
store, and thence on Law Range to and
around the city hall. The sidewalk
from Summer Brothers grocery store
to William Johnson's hardware store
will be widened three feet, and the side
walk along Law Range will be widened
about two feet.
Mr.. Barker estimates that these side
walks include about 5000 square yards.
This, however, is only very rough es-
innate. With favorable weather he
hopes to complete the contract in about
forty days. He has just completed a
contract in Union. He has held con-
tracts IN Charleston, Orangeburg, Spar
tanburg, Greenvillc and many other
places in this State, and in Wilmington,
Charlotte, and other places in North
Carolina, and in many of the principal
towns and cities in the South He has
given satisfaction wherever he has been
and is highly recommended by the cities
in which he has worked, and by govern
ment experts. He is under double bond
for the work in Newberry-a personal
guarantee for the amount of the work
for five years and bond from a reli-
able company for the same amount for
two years.
Council has decided to condemn all
wooden cellar gratngs along the way
OF the proposed improvement and to re-
quirc that all iron gratings with hinges
opening upwards be reset so as to open
down.

The late Government report makes
the wheat crop thirty-five million bush
els less than last year. This means very
much higher flour until another harvest
in 1904. All flour is higher now, but

to other flour. However, it is a mighty

THE NEW CROP IN NEWBERRY.
1t is estimated that less than one hun
dred bales of the new crop have been
sold in Newbelly thus far.
The total receipts in the cotton-g grow-
ing States of the county may be seen
from the following annual statement
of Secretary Hester:
HEsTER's ANNUAL REPORT.
New Orleans, September 5.--Secre-
tary Hester's annual New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange report was issued in full
to-day. He put the cotton crop of 1902
'O3 at 10, 727, $50 bales, an increase of
46,87 over that of 19O1-'O2. He says
that compared with last year, in round
figures. Texas, including Indian Terri
tory, has decreased 10000 bales; the
group consisting of Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
Utah and Kansas, has increased 1863, ,0( J.,
and the group of Atlantic States, (Ala-
bama, Georgia, Florida, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Kentucky and
Virginia,) has fallen off 154, 900.
He puts the avera ge commercial value
of this years crop SD So, against
$41 OF last year, and the total value of
the crop at $3.50, ITO, 28O, against $438,-
Old, 687 last year.
In reference to the total value, Mr.
Hester says that while the crop as a
whole brought a good return, notwith-
standing the high prices during the lat
ter part of the season, the out-turn has
not been as great rs was expected.
The total value, carefully figured out,
is in round figures $42, 756, 600 above last
year. This year the range from Sep
tember to January, average monthly
value, was 1888 cents to 8.61, the price
of 8 cents not being touched until Feb
ruary, when nearly 100000 bales of
the crop had been marketed, the monthly
average sales of which were from $40
to little over ga per bale.
