. F.. D. DEPARTMENT,
Address all communications to
h 'o.' 1. Wicker, editor.
You have-no d. ubt heard the song
U'nder I( 'Shade !.f the Old App'c
Tree'" and probably you- have drawn
imaginative pictures of the happy
scenes that transpired there. Well
now set your imaginat've, wheels in
motion and see what the Rural Letter
'Carriers of f his coualy will,.do a
say as they meet from week to week
like so'm-ii.y candle-fl'<s undir tLe
shade of the editor's lamp. We can't
assemble as o body ev -ry-week t:) di
cuss our needs but we can get to geth
or -i fomeic other way, shivo ..r
fo1iia, thiere."ore when this v.Utoi
lights )i.s 3'- mp and sits down to ;ii
desk he will expect you candlefli%s t.
Coli alng up -.n1 1 iispire him
with your presence. We are going to
look for you and when we see a long
angular fellow with long wings, a
long proboscis and keen, piercing
eyes we will know thati No. f from
Pomaria is present, and when we see
a little wiry fellow flapping his
wings under the shade of. the lamp
with 'spectacles on his nose we will
kknow that Prosperity No. 4 is xvith
us to entertain us with an interesting
message; and when we see a great
big fellow with a heavy mustache
under a somewhat heavy pro
boscis fly up and light and begin
walking around with a dignified air
over the desk and paper and whatever
ele he sees fit to walk on, we will
bow and ho;wdy to Kinards No. 2.
The' purpose of this department is
to arouse greater interest in the R.
F., C. Association at home by getting
better acquainted with each other
personally through this department;
to get in closer touch with our pat
rons so that they may come to under
stand our needs and help us without
feeling that we are asking too much;
to hammer persistently, in season and
out of season, on the proper officials
for better roads. One fact must be
kept constantly before the public
mind, viz, that bad roads cost more
than gbod roads. A machinist knows
that every unnecessary turn of a
wheel is a waste of mechanical ener
gy; likewise every unnecessary step
that your horse has to tate to pull
you out of a mudhole is a waste of
animal energy for which you are pay
ing dearly every year, to say wtling
of the expense of keeping your vehi
cle in running order.
We want to insist upon the carriers
of the county to write letters for this
department and make it interesting
for the patrons of the various routes
as well as for each other. Write
something and let your patrons know
that, you are alive and scramlibling
with might and main to attract at
tention to VouIrl side of the fiel, or
keep Silent and civince your atirons
that you are a lazy, gMood'or-nothiing,
measly, veasly, (1ryed up old ni1numy
We dto noi t wish to leave the imiitles
sion t hat this det(')iitment is intIenided
solely for the c'arriiers (of Newherryv
counity ; oni the contrry, I.we will glad
ly welcome let ters fromn the carriers
of ot her counties anud of othier s inteCs
whler'e Th'e HerCialdlL ndl News is rea'..

much bitt go straiighmt to the mark;
say whiat you. have got to saiy plini
ly, po(initedly, and in as few words as
~possile. Let us hear from you and if
you know of any jokes on your broth
er carriers by all means let us hear
'em.
T. E. W.
.Boxes-Roads-Dnecr.
Our' patrons1 will rt~'ztly help us
by p)lacinig their boxes as requiired by
the department convenient for the
carrier by the roadside. A p)ost should
be set in the gr'ounid about fi fty in
cIhes high andl on t his post Lin arm ex
tend1ing about eighiteein ineh'es and se
euriely faistenf y'ouri box oni thle end(
of this aim. lThen wih thi le box in
this posit ion t he carr'iit'erLcan drive
.under' i it aind plac thC le box i right. he
fore him without hiaving~ to tlirow off
his storm ('lilth and hapiobie in bad
riny i co(ld1 free(zin Ant'~*LiIher.. Then
again our pa trons w"ould favor us
fari more thant they think by supply
ing -themselves with a small stock of
.stamps postal cai'ds ete, so as Ito
avoid placing pennies in the box for
the cariir to fumble after and fish
out on cold snowy days. Again, pat
rons should look after the roads and
'bridges in their respective neighbor
hood and when a plank is broken in a
'bbidge so as to make a dhngerous hole
or when a mudhole becomes almost
impassible they should fix it or see
that it is fixed ak' ohce for they expect
the carrier to come without fail' re
gardless of weat,her had roads or..any
thing else that might get in the 'way.
f a tree were to fall across a ,rail
road and you w.'ere expecting some
unportant. 1ettet. or package on the
ext train you would hustle to get the
obstae'ld out .of the way so that all
might arrive safely without unneces
sary delay. The carrier deserves the
.same treatment so that lie may not be
delayed in the discharge of his duty
to you and the department.
Please dont take to the idea that
on cold raniy days you ivoild insult
the carrier if you should come out and
invite him 'to come in hand warm his
>enumbed fingers and aching toes and
sit. aown to a wai'm dinner and a hot
cup of coffee. Of course we cant
drink anything stronger.
W. 11. Eddy,
Carrier No. 4, Newberry.
Considerable attention- has been
given during the past year to the en
forcement of the requirvment that
boxes shall conform to the regula
tion, to t4le end that the use of wood
en'boxes or aill kiiids and other recep
tacles which are unsafe or inappro
priate shall be discontinued.
This is being done by requiring in
spectors when niaking inispections to
report all boxes which are not ap
proved 1r ai're unsafe or by calling on
postmasters for repoits as to the eon
dition of boxes oi the routeos at. their
ofliee. The work of eliminating boxes
whicli do not goinform to tlie regula
tios has progressed so far that it is
believed a very large proportion oo.,
the boxes now in use on rural routes
are in substantial conlormity with
the regulations.
With a view to economy of time
and to secure greater expedition in
th delivery of mail, since July 1,
1906, it is required that all boxes on
rural routes, shall be equipped with.
suitable sig;nals for the purpose of
indicating file presence of mail there
in for dispatch, (lie.carriers being re
quired to examine only those boxes
disp,hying signals, It is not expected
or desired that boxes shall be equiped
with clostly or complicated devices to
be used as signals, but flags or any
suitable objects which can be con
spicously displayed and will attract
the attention of carriers will answer
the purpose.
Patrons should fix their boxes to
suit tile convenienee of the carriers
and after the carrier has notified the
patron to 1tlis effect (lie carrier may
take steps to leave the mail of such
patron at the postoffice until the
boxes is fixed. But it is hoped that
the carriers in this county will not
have any trouble in regard to patrons
erecting their boxes properly.

let us all make a sitlong pull together

Say Mr. Editor, how about that
young lady making application to you
for a letter? When she seemed disap
poinited because you had no letter for
lier, on one of your trips you told her
you would take lher order 'to the
Letter Mfg. Co., and have it filled.
Have you filled the order yet or is it
still on file?

LATIMEA HOT IN COLLAR.
Believes South Carolina Capital Could
Have Won But for The
Caucus.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator La-'
tinier today denounced as unqualified
ly false any statement made by any
persol to the effect that lie did not
do his whole duty as lie saw it en
deavoring to have the sub-treasury
located in Columbia.
'I make this statement,' he said,
''because every hionest man knows I
did all I coild for Collumbia. I gave
my proxy to Mr. Lqgare before I re
turifed to Washington to vote for me
in case I did not: get here, and I be
lieve firmly that we could have won
beyoiid doubt. if we had not been
bounlld by lie clicus. This is the
way Ithle vase looked to me and ex

not do my whole diuty is false and
without foundation.'
