MAY WORK THE ROADS
JUST OUT OF CITY
Grand Jury to Recommend
This.

The condition of the county roads
has received particular attention at
the hands Of the present grand jury,
and several important recommends
tons made the county commissioners
relative therto. The roads over the
county generally are in good condi-
ton, particularly the western and
southeastern sections, where much
work has been required Within a
radius about Americas the grand jury
thinks important work is required
and has recommended that ali roads
leading out from the city should be
worked the distance of five miles. On
the roads leading towards Flint
river, especially, work is badly need
ed, and if done, as was rec
commended, will connect with
improvements already made. The
county commissioners will consider
at the January meeting this, and
other recommendations of the grand
jury.

NO SUNDAY SHOWS
GO IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-(SpeciaD
Sunday theatres in New York city
will be a thing of the past if a decis-
ion rendered by Justice O'Gorman in
the Supreme Court is enforced.
In a sweeping opinion the Justice
denounced as a clear violation Of the
law every possible form of Sunday
stage entertainment under whatever
title. There, is no appeal from this
decision and relief, if any is obtained,
must be found in new legislation.
The opinion was rendered in con-
firming the report of a referee in the
test case of William Hammerstein,
involving the question of revocation
of his license for the Victoria Thea
ire on charge of having violated
the law.
The referee found that only five of
the acts given in that theatre were
in violation of the Sunday law, but
| Justice O'Gorman disagreed with him
and said:
Each of the 20 acts set forth in
the petition constituted clear vio-
| lation of the law sufficient to justify
! revocation of the license and the
arrest and punishment of the pro-
prietor and performers. The law is
plain, and there can be no excuse for
laxity in its observances or enforce
ment. All performances in theatres
or other places of public amusement
and entertainment on Sunday are pro-
hibfted."

ADDITIONAL MAIL SERvICE.
TNeWberry Herald,and NeWs.1

We take the liberty Of printing the
following letter from Congressman
Aiken. It shows how closely he is
watching all the interests Of every
part of bis district and that he is en-
deavoring at all times to give the peo
pie better service.
The Herald and news has from time
to time since the present schedule was
put on urged the establishment Of pos
tai clerks on the midday trains, 18 and
10, between Columbia and Greenville.
In fact the Greenville meeting, at
which these trains were agreed upon,
promised to look after this matter
and urge the additional mail service.
Now it seems that it is up to the rail-
road to furnish the car space. We call
Superintendent Simpsons attentionlto
this fact. This Ia matter that touch
es the districts represented by Messrs.
A. F. Lever and J. T. Johnson as
we'll as Mr.. Aiken.
We would suggest that this Ia q
proper subject to attract the attention
of the proper committee from our
chamber Of commerce, or the presi-
dent or secretary, and that it should
be taken up officially with the rail-
road and urge the importance of pro-
vlding space. We now have the best
and most convenient schedules we
have ever had and postal clerks on
Nos. l8 and 10 would give US except
ionally fine mail service.
The following is the letter from
Congressman Aiken:
Abbeville, 8. c., Sept. IA, 1907.
My Dear Col:
Yesterday I read with interest your
orticle concerning mails on trains 1S
and 10 on the Columbia and Green
vile road. AS soon as those trains
were put on, called at the post office
department and made an earnest ap-
peal of the second assistant postmaster
general for postal clerks on them and
was promised that if the trains were
made permanent that clerks would be
put on If possible. Several times
since then I have urged upon the man
agement of the southern road to keep
the trains on permanently with the
promise that If the travel justified 1t

that they would be kept on. I have
also kept the matter Of postal clerks
fresh In the minds of the post office
department people and about three
weeks ago the second assistant wrote
me that the clerks would very proba-
bly, be put on now soon. or just as
soon as available car space could be &C.
cured, but at this time it was impossi-
BILE to secure the space. I am satisfied
that If the Southern rood will furnish
the space for postal clerks that they
will:sooD be running on the midday
trains on the c. and g., Nos. 1S and 10.
Only yesterday l wrote an urgent let
ter to the second assistant in behalf Of
this postal service and will continue
the fight until the clerks are put on.

ferry and started for the Waldorf; but l told
the man to stop first at Blankensten's big

for the dinin' room-1've been wantin one for
quite a spell-and then have that box wrapped
up with it and sent out home. / often have
small parcels sent out that way, an they re
awful accomm odatin' about it.
Well, the plan fine one, except that the
box had begun to look disreputable. You see,

bein' slammed down on the ferryboat deck.

torn in lots of places An then, somehow. the
dressin of the lobster salad had begun to leak

bought that rug. l! wasn't just the kind l
wanted, but it was gettin' near noon, an |
knew Grace would be worried, so l just took
