FREE DELIVERY DELAYED.
Inspector Here to Establish it But
City Council Not Ready After
Nine Months.

The post Office Inspector has been
in Newberry for several days hav-
ing come here for the purpose of
completing the arrangements for the
institution of free delivery to which
the city is entitled. Owing to the fact,
however, that city council has not fin
ished posting the names of the streets
at the various street corners, the in
spector declined to do anything. This
will probably delay the institution Of
free delivery for several months. The
Inspector has a great many other ap-
pointments and may not be able to
get here before the first Of next year.
If city council had finished the
work, which was known to be neees-
sary in order to have free delivery
established, it is very probable that
it would have been put into operation
here within the next few weeks. The
inspector will not take up the matter
until those things required by the
government are complied with. City
council had notice Of these require
ments at least nine months ago and
knew that the city would be entitled
to free delivery, and it does seem tina:
council should have been a little more
active in meeting the requirements
Of the government. The Inspector
said that the numbering of the hous-
es was all rieat and met his appro-
val, but that before he could recon-
mend the establishment of free de-
livery the street smust all have the
names posted at the corners. Only
portion of, the streets have been so
labeled, and the posts and the names
That have been. put up have very
antiquated appearance, and one might
judge from looking at them that they
were in town that was just receiv-'
ing free delivery some one hundred
years ago.
It is a great pity that the city
while it was going to the expense to
do this work, did not provide steel
or iron posts with at least respectable
looking labels containing the name
Of :he street. The boards that are
nailed on the posts that have been
put Up are just high enough to strike
the pedestrian in the eye if he should
get little too close towards the post,
but We suppose they are better than
nothing, and that council will con-
tinue to erect such cheap looking de-
vices tor the labelling Of the streets.
! Until this is completed, however, the
citizens need not expect any steps
further to be taken for the establish
mnt and Inauguration Of free 'deliv-
cry of mail.

MEMBER, THIRD REGIMENT.
Writes From Missouri for Copy Dick
erts History-Mind Goes Back
TO- Other Days

The following extract from. let
ter from DR.. J. B. Hawkins, Of Mex
leo, Mo-, will probably be read with
interest by some Of the readers of The
Herald and News. He does not say
whether he is a member Of the Hawk
ms family Of this county, but the pro-
liability is that he belongs to that
same family. He certainly was
member of the old 3rd S. C. regiment.
He is writing for a copy of Diekert g
History of Kershaw's Brigade and in
the course Of his letter has the fol-
lowing to say of his record:
II was member Of Company A,
3rd S. C. Volunteers under Capt. Will
Hance, who was killed at Frederieks-
burg on the 18th day Of December,
1862. I was then transferred to
Company C, 18th N. C. Troops,
wounded the 25th day Of March, 1865,
at the last fight in front Of Peters
burg and was at Fort Delaware when
Lee surrendered and Lincoln was kill
ed, wounded prisoner.
"Your book will be Of interest to
many of the old guards Of the army
of Virginia, who are now living here
in Mexico, Mo.
"An early reply will be appreciat-
ed by,
"Yours most truly,
"J. B. Hawkins"
