ORANGEBURG POSTOFFICE
IN FOB CONDITION UNDER POST
MASTER WEBSTER.
How Has Rural Routes, City Deliv?
ery, Night Clerk and Postal Bank.
Increase of Ten Years.
^The growth of the Orangteburg
post office, in all of Its various de
partments, haa been steady and re
veals interesting figures. The ser
vice at the local post office is ex
cellent and it Is mainly due to the
nntiring efforts and constant super
vision of Allie D. Webster, Orange
burg's efficient postmaster.
Ten years ago, in addition to the
postmaster's salary, there was an al
lowance of $4 70 for local clerk hire
provided .by the department in Wash
ington. At the present time the of
fice employs e. total of 18 men, each
one of whom are now upon the ros
ter rolls of the post office depart
ment. In addition to the post mas
ter, there are six clerks employed in
the office, one of whom has been
assigned to all night duty. This
aight clerk service being necessary
by reason of the tremendous increase
of mail handled at the local post
office. At present bhere is no pas
senger train passing Onangeburg on
either the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road or Southern railway that does
not bring mail to and carry mail
from this office.
Instead of one rural mail carrier
ten year* ago, four additional routes
have since been established, diverg
ing out in ail directions. These car
piers, with "the exception of two,
handle over 5,000 pieces of mail
each month, and the average monthly
sale of stamps by each carrier to
their patrons amounts to more than
$10 per month. The nfumber Of
?amilies served by these five rural
mall carriers within their districts
are 687 and a total of 2,400 peo-j
pie.
On June 1st, 1907, a city mail de
livery service was Installed, the work
of which was to be performed by
three letter carriers. Within two
weeks after the service was inaugu
rated it was fully demonstrated that
the work was too great for perform-,
ance by three carriers. An' addition
al carrier was immediately granted
the office and at the present time!
four carriers deliver on an average
each month of over 80 000 pieces
of mail within the city and collect
tiherefrom an average each month of
over 11,000 pieces. The area cover
ed by the city mail delivery service
13 estimated as a little less than
three square miles, the carriers serv
ing a population of a little more,
than 5,5CO people. Each of the car
riers deliver daily an average of 72
1-2 pounds of. mall in each of their
respective districts, and make an
average of 218 stops each day.
The money order .business of the
local post office three years ago
amounted <T? actual figures to $74,
$125,729.12 and the office is at pres
che money order business reached
$125,729.12 and the office is a pres
ent doing a money order business of
over $160,000.
As to the registry business, the in
crease is very marked, the office hav
lr.6 dispatched for the year ending
June 30, 1907, 944 pieces, while at
present the number of registers dis
patched Is over 3,0CO per yea,r. A
similar increase in the volume of
business is also shown in the num
ber of registers received and han
dled in trans.. through the local of
fice. > ! .
The Orangeburg post office force
hand'ed, by actual count, during the
month of May of this year 286,225
pfeces of mail, of wihieh amount
134,380 pieces were received at this
office and 151,845 pieces dispatched.
The postal receipts of the local
post offlco and increase ,during the
past ten years is shown in the fol
lowing table:

On June 26th there was installed
at the local post office a postal sav
ings system and deposits are' now
?being regularly accepted. The Edis
to Savings Bank has been named as
the postal savings depository for this
office.
The plans for the new public
building have been drawn, submitted
to Postmaster Webster and approv
ed with slight changes and actual
operation in the construction of this
post office building will commence
on the first of the year 1912. The
original appropriation of $5 0.000 for
this building was made by Congress
three years ago, but the delay in
the construction of the building has
been brought about because of the
asking for an additional appropria
tion of $10,000, which was granted
last year. The sit* for the publt?
building was purchased at a price
of $10,000, leavrng $50,000 with
which to erect and then equip
the post office building. The site
selected is easily accessible and when
the building is completed, with its
basement, main and messanine floors,
will present a handsome and improv
ing appearance; The building will
in all probability be constructed of
pressed brick and granite. The
buiding -will be located upon the cor
ner of Church street and Court House
Square.

:.VEWS OP BOWMAN*.
A Gene:.*al "Write-Up Prcn That Host*
ling Town.
Bowman, July 21?Special: Some
of Bowman's folk have left for the
more genial climate in the moun
tain resorts In North Carolina for
some days of rest and recreation.
Among those who left are: Mrs. M.
L. Jaokson, Romeo and Golden
Jacksoi, Mrs. P. E. Levy and child
ren, M^rs. S. H. Flair, Mrs. J. D. Stro
man, Mrs. Sallie Smith, Mrs. D. B.
Berry, Dr. and Mrs. D. E. Connor
and dSiUghter Fairey, and Miss Ida
Biewer. Others will follow later on
before the season cJoaes. Misses
Lurine and Carina Huth left this
morning for a visit to friends In Co
lumbia.
A goodly number of citizens here
about attended the two picnics >es
terday, one at Bethel church and
the other near Providence church,
the major part going to the later
place. All report a pleasant time.
Crops have improved wonderful
of late and corn will not be quite as
short as was thought a short time
ago. Some ? sections suffered more
than others, especially where the
crowding system was in vogue. The
yield of this grain crop as a whole
where not crowded too much will
be compartively satisfactory. As to
cotton "it beats the bruid," and in
making this statement the writer is
not exaggerating one Whit. In a
daily travel of 25 miles not one field
of poor cotton is seen. It stands
as a fellow stated once to the writer
about liquor, it is all good .better
and best.
The poor housewife has had a
time getting up a vegatafble dinner
quite a while back, but light is now
dawning and some seasonable vege
tables are now being placed on the
dinner table.
The Town Council has got a move i
on it. recently on the much needed
street improvements. Intendent Mit
tle has outlined the work to consid
erable advantage some of the side
streets getting a share of the work
now being done.
Watermelons and fruit of all kind
are abundantly numerous now a, days
and the demand on such .produce is
indeed nominal. The melon crop al
though some days late Is the best
for .a number of years, some extra
fine specimens of this fruit are seen
on s.ll sides. Notwithstanding late
spring frosts the peach crop Is much
bett'ir than usual, the fruit being
mora perfect and free of worms. A
considerable quantity are being put
up for whiter use.
The protracted meeting commenc
ed at Ebonezer last Sunday is still
in progress. Pastor Henry is being
associated in these services by Rev.
Sam E. Rose of Honea Path. There
has been some good preaching at this
meeting and it is hoped that much
go<vi will result.
The medical' fraternity of this sec
tion, are idle so to speak compared
wit'i that of last summer so 'ir,
and it is hoped that the health of
this community will continue good
till the fever season is over.

UNION OFFICER'S SWOFD.
Found on Battlefield Will Be Re
turned to His Heirs.
A dispatoh from Milford, Mass.,
says Commander Henry Alonzo
Pond, of Miajor Emmons F. Fletcher
Post, No. 22, G. A. R., of that city,
Tuesday night received a letter from
O. K. Wilson of Orangeburg, S. C,
which reads in .part:
"I can place in the possession of
Jcihn Reed, of .Milford, iMass., if he
Is living, or of any of his relatives,
a sword picked up on the battlefield
after either the battle of the Wil
derness or Cold Harbor. The sword
[ is engraved John Reed, Milford,
Mass. L. H. Beckwith, who was 1st
sergeant of Company B, South Caro
lina caMalry, under Wade Hampton,
the noted Confederate commander
picked up the 'sword, and his son
now has it."
Th? dispptch says further that
Mr. Wilson also writes that he is a
Massachusetts boy, who went to
the South nine yeare ago, from
C'hicopee, and he inclosed a clipping
from a newspaper which says he is a
candidate for mayor of Grangeburg.
Commiander Pond says "the John
Reed referred to lived formerly Hi
Milford. He is de'ad. He served
two enlistments in the civil war and
had the rank of firsrt Weutenant.
First, he was with the 4Sth Massa
chusetts regiment and later with 4ne
57th iMassachusett's regiment. He
had an excellent war record. His
only living relative is Lawrence Reed
who for a number of years was
mayor of Woburn. Oommlana<r
Pond said that 'he will at once get
inito communication with Mayor
Reed and acquaint him with the of
fer."
Faust at the Theato.
The great opera Faust wall be
shown at the Theato on Wednesday
afternoon and night. Nothing need
be said of this magnificent play ana
the pictures Mat reprodnce It are
the most handsome pieces of pho
tography ever seen in this city. To
complete this excellent reproduction
two entire reels of films are required.
Pretty scenes and mysterious dis
appearances occur in this picture and
the pKay is well staged and costumed.
Those why fail to witness this picture
will miss something that is worth
while, that is instructive as well as
entertaining.
Shot in Crap Game.
Jake Mouzon shot and killed
killed Freddie Goldson at the plan
tation of Mr. Harley, near North,
on Sunday afternoon while engaged
in a crap game. The wound was in
flicted with a thirty-two calibre pis
tol and Goldson died from his Inju
ry on/ Monday afternoon. The ball
passed through the spinal cord, sev
ering the vertebra. Hot suppers
and crtap games are very unhealthy
amusements for the average color
ed male citizen.
PICNIC AT BETHEL.
Big Crowd Enjoys Day There Last
Thursday.
A children's service and picnic
was held at Bethel chuTch on the old
Charleston road, on Thursday, July
20th and quite a crowd was In at
tendance. The programme of the
hour was very taEtily arranged and
well rendered by the pupils of the
Sunday school.
The first was a welcome by Mas
ter Marvin Hughes and a song by
little George Hughes, which would
have done credit to a Child much old
er.
Next was a missionary dialogue,
"Why Not," by Bettle Hughes and
May Dennis.
"The Finding of The Cross" was
next recited by Miss Annie Pearson,
in which she showed cr.reful prepa
ration and held the audience spell- |
bound.
No less did Miss Virgie Davis as
she recited "The Model Church"
while sweet music was softly ren
dered by the organist.
Last of the young people was
Marion Fairey, who gave us the
"First Settler's Story" In his own
free and easy manner, displaying his
accomplishment as a reader.
After this part of the programme,
we had two delightful addresses by
the Pastor, Rev. J. L. Phillips, and
Mr. M. A. Arant, better known as
"Uncle Mike," whom we all know
and love. They impressed beautiful
ly upon the chidren the Importance
of an' eary acceptance of Christ In
their lives as a means to happiess
ths world. After the doxology came
another important part of the pro
gramme.
We were ushered to a table load
ed with the many good things to eat
as only the Bethel folks can serve,
assisted by some of their guests.
There was no lack of well-done pfgs,
as I myself beheld three and did not
find out how mauy were oehind me.
It is needless to say that we did jus
tice to the inner man.
After resting awhile, it was
thought that "all work and no play
makes Jack a dull ,boy" so the
amusement committee gave the pic
nickers a good time by some inno
cent amusement by the little folks.
The prize winners were Legare Pear
son, Willie Edwins, Kittie O'Cain,
Marion Bozard and Essie Myers. By
way of variety, croam and soft
drinks were served for the purpose
of putting a deep well on the church
^roundB. As the shadows began
deepen, the crowd slowly dispersed,
feeling that they had spent a delight
ful day. ' One Present.

For he had heard the lover's plea;
"If hope will save you, go ahead,
For you shall never live on me."
