stood the campaign could not be sue

money, and asked If ] would helo ia
raising the necessary funds, as the ma
ticuai committee, under Chairman Cor
telyOu, had utterly failed OF obtaining
them. and there was a large amount Que
from them 10 the New York State com

IF this means anything whatever. it
must be that he was urging me to help
the New York State committee and not
the national committee or the PTeslden-

cess Of the State ticket in New York
would contribute 10 the national ticket.

FOR FREE DELIVERY,
Newberry Will Be Entitled To II
Council Should Number Houses
And Make Ready.

There seems to be little doubt now
that the receipts from the Newberry
post Office for the fiscal year ending
the 31st Of this month will be, suffi-
clent to entitle Newberry to receive
the benefits of free delivery. ~
The fact is that the business at the
post office at Newberry in many res
poets has been much larger for sever
al years than some Of the other towns
III the same class with Newberry,
which have already received the free
delivery system, but as the business
or the post office by the government
is measured by the amount of postage
stamps sold, and not by the money
order business, we have never to this
time come up to the minimum reuuir-
ed.
Our money order business is much
larger than other towns, which have
gotten free delivery, but there seems
to be little doubt now that we, will
go beyond $10,000.00 in the sale Of
stamps and without making any spe-
rial effort in that direction, which
will put us on a sure and solid foun-
dation.
There are other things necessary,
however, some of these we have, and
some we have not. We have fairly
good streets in the business portion,
but the side walks need improving in
the residence portion. The houses will
have to be numbered and the streets
named and labeled. 1t is up to city
council to take up the matter of num-.
herring the houses at once so that when
the business of the office will warrant
the free delivery, the government will
have no excuse for delay.

Dwelling Burned,

Mr.. Luther Mayors dwelling house
four miles east of NewberTy, was
destroyed Monday night about 10
o'clock by fire. The family had just
retired for the night when tire was
discovered and they barely escaped
with their lives.
Mr.. Mayer went TO the room of
Miss Hunter to arouse her and the
fire mad made such Roadway, that
he was unable to return by the stair
way and had to let Miss Hunter down
by roOc and then let himself down
in the same way.
Miss Hunter was boarding with the
family and teaching the school in the
community. She is a daughter of Mr..
R. II. G. Hunter.
The fire originated from defective
fluc. The house was an ante-bellum
residence, two stories, and had re-
Gently been repaired at considerable
cost. TO replace it would take an
outlay from three to four thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Mayeg was unable to save any
of his furniture and his total loss
must be from four to five thousand
dollars with only about 100000 in.
surance.
Mr.. Mayer bought this property
from Mr.. Edward Scholtz, who lived
there far several years. During the
time Mr. Scholtz lived in the house
he had considerable interior work
done OH the house and it was one OF
the best finished houses on the inter.
ior ir, the county.

THE ELECTION ORDERED.
Meeting of City Council Wednesday
Order EQection-I. o. Burton
Policeman.

At meeting of city council on
Wednesday night Mr.. I. 0. Burton
was elected policeman to succeed Mr..
Outz. This will probably cause n
vacancy in the board of supervisors
Of registration of which Mr.. Burton
was a member.
The council also decided to order
the election on the question Of devolv-
ing the duties Of the commissioners
of public works upon the city council
and thereby abolishing the board Of
commissioners of public works, to be
held on the End day Of April, which
is the first Tuesday.
The Herald and News has printed
the act. which provides for this trans
fer, in two issues since it was intro
duced.
It is now a question for the people
to determine for themselves whether
they will let the present arrangement
stand as it is, or whether they will
abolish the board and let the city
council have charge Of these public
utilities.
The Herald and News has been in
formed that the income Of the com
missioncrs Of public works for the
year 1906 was 100000, and with
this income. when any additions or
improvements are needed, il has been
necessary to call upon tho city coun-
ell to put up the money. or this
amount the city pays $G000.00 for the
lights and water used by the city;
the other $50 100000 coming from the
private individuals, who use water
and lights.
In ialliin" with Il gentleman from
Greenwood. who is Il member Of the
board Of commissioners in that city.
which is about the same size as New
berry. the information was obtained
that in Greenwood the city paid moth
inc io the commissioners Of public
works for the water H"d lights used
by the city and their charges I" the
private consumers arc less than they
are in Ncwbcrry, and since The cstab-
liShmrnt nf these plants in Green
wool. *'2. 100000 from the income has
been expended for the extension and
Improvement OF the plant.
1t would seem that with the income
above stated to the commissioners in
Nrwhcrry, if that be correct. that
they should hc able tn pay running
expenses and extend the advantages
of wafer and sewerage to all parts OF
the city. But it is Il question for the
people to determine for themselves
whether the present arrangement shall
remain or whether there shall be Il
change and whether the management
Of these plants shall be turned over
to the city council or not.
The Herald and News will be sat
sil'icd with anything that the people
determine in this matter.
