E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New lerry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, February 9, 1906. Congressman Aiken has been as sured that the free mail delivery in the. city of Greenwood will start on -May '. Newberry ought to have free delivery in the very near future. The postoffice receipts are now not quite large enough, but they will probably reach the $9,000 mark by May, and they are steadily increasing. In a short time they will be large enough for free delivery, and the people of Newberry ought to cooperate to in erese the receipts as much as pos sible. In the meantime it might be ,,well to prepare for it when the op portunity comes. Marking the streets and numbering of the houses is a ne eessary prerequisite, and would in it self be a great advantage. The prophets of evil we have Ivith us always. They. tell us that unless the legislature does a certain thing, o -nless a certain system is improved, the state will immediately go to iie a bo*-wows. But our people continue to live and prosper and the govern-i 3ment remains on a very safe founda tion. The Morgan local option bill is now I before the senate. The dispensary investigation cora mittee very properly decided that it was none of its business to investi gate private affairs. The committee was appointed to investigate the state dispensary. It is a matter of conjec Sture when the real investigation will begin. The committee has unearthcd ,3much petty rottenness and has touch Sed once or twice upon the real issue. The people are waiting for them o begin in earnest the investigation~ af that which they were created to in-: Incidents In the Life of Lamar. 'When the late Lucius Quintus Cin einnatus Lamar of. Alabama was see ~ etary of the interior in the first cab inet of President Clevelanid heh ad an Sexperience with a visitor that gave him a moment of mingled amusement ~~nd ehagrin every time he thought of~ ~jt.to the end of his'life. Mfr. Lamar, who was one of the .Ea ortliest and most affable men that ver came to Washington, and who A.erved for many years in the senate on the bench of thie United States supreme court, was greatly bothered >wenhe entered President Cleve zad's 'eabinet by the horde of impe eufs persons from his own state enwith whom he had no sort of ae nqatan~ee, who tried to haunt his . feewith the purpose of attempting Aborrow. money, obtain office in the 4aeof the then new ei,vil service rules oask for other favors. bIn self-defense he had finally to ~gve orders to the black messenger at his door to admit nobody, even during the hours of the general daily recep tion, who did not previously send in a ~ ard.\ When the card bore the name~ of some man he didn 't know, or, knowing too well, didn 't want to see,, M r.. Lamar would send out word by the messenger that he wasn 't in. SOne day the secretary 's messenger ~appeared before Mr. Lamar and told him there was an insistent old gen teman out in the hall who refused to end iin a card, but stated that he nerely wanted to make the secretary a little friendly visit. The secretary was firm. The visitor would have to send in a card and niame his business. The visitor told the messenger that he only wanted to see Mr. Lamar ~~about a little claim he had before con ;gress for cotton destroyed by Federal troops during the eivil war. Claimants of this kind were the bane of Mr. La mar's life. Mr. Lamar sent out word by the messenger that he was out. Them esesnger went out and told the visitor that the secretary had left the building. The visitor was a neat looking old gentleman in black clothes with a long white beard. He smiled at the messenger's statement. 'Well,'" he said, with twinkling eye, "Ah reckon there'll be no ob. ection if Ah sit heahi and wait till the se-etahy retuhns," and lie sat down in the black messenger's chair. n Thm essenger went in.-after a while and told Mr. Lamar that the old gen tleman from Alabama, who refused to give his name, was still sitting out in the hall and "actin' right patient, suh,' as the black messenger express ed it. Mr. Lamar couldn't help the pa tience part of it. He couldn't be seen by strangers with cotton claims any more. When the ser:retary went out to luncheon there was the old Alabama man sitting in the messenger's chair. Mr. Lamar nodded to him. The old man nodded back, apparently without recognizing the secretary. The next day the old man was back again during the forenoon. Again the secretary refused to see him. Again the old man. on being told that the secretary was out, reckoned that he'd sitd own and wait; and wait he did for several -hours. And when the sec retary passed out of the office and in again he nodded to the old man, who nodded back as if to a stranger. This went on for six days. On the sixth day Mr. Lamar was passing out of his office for his luncheon when the old man rose from his chair, stretch ed out his hand to the courtly secre tary, and.said: "Loosh, yo' certuhnly are losing yo' memory and getting old a heap fastuh than Ah am. And yo' don't even know me yet? Loosh!" The secretary of the interior looked at the old man keenly, and then with two strides he had him by both hands. They had been boys and law students together, and the old visitor was one of the most prosperous and inuential men in the state of Alabama. He had simply been "waitin' fo' Loosh to recognize him," but the see retary had been unable to do it on ac count of the old gentleman's newly grown long beard, and so, rather filled with the humor of the situation until it became monotonous, he had been cooling his heels in the messenger's chair outside the secretary's office for a week. Secretary Lamar abrogated his card rule from that day and saw every body. Travis Will Compete. New York, February 7.-Walter J.
