Went Into Effect Yesterday?Sixty two Hours per Woek?After January Sixty Hours. ^ Tin* law that was passed by Hie last legislature regulating the hours of labor in cotton mills and fixing a, dav ;it ten hours, or sixty hours per week, went into el'feet yesterday, though ;i provision in the act reduces'* the hours per week |o sixty-two until the lirst ol" January, when the sixty hour law becomes operative. Some time ago the mills themselves had adopted a resolution reducing tinhorn's of labor gradually, but under their resolution the sixty-two hour rule did not go into effect until next January and then a year after the sixty hour rule went into effect. Under the act of the general assembly the sixty hour law, as stated, will go into effect the first of January next, and beginning yesterday sixty-two hours per week is the law. At the Newberry mills and the Mollohon mills work will be shut down at 0.10 every day except Saturday, and on Saturday the mill will close down at 12. 10. The act pased by the legislature regulating the hours says: "Section 1. lie it enacted by the general assembly of the State of South Carolina. That ten hours a day. or (>0 hours a week, shall constitute the hours for working for all operatives and employes in cotton and woolen manufacturing establishments engaged in the manufacture of yarijs, doth, hosiery and other products lor merchandise, except mechanics, engineers, firemen, watchmen, teamsters, yard employes and clerical force. All contracts for longer hours of work other than herein provided in said manufacttiring establishments shall be. and the same are hereby, declared null and void; and any person entering into or enforcing such contracts shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, in each and every instance, and on conviction in a court of competent .jurisdiction -hall be lined a sum of money not less than $.1 nor more than $100, or imprisonment no| exceeding '{0 days: I'rovided, That nothing herein contained shall be construed as forbidding or preventing any such manufacturing company from making tip iost time, to the exient of hours per annum, where such lost time has been caused by accident or other unavoidable cause. "Sec. 2. That lite hours of labor shall remain as they now are until July 1. 1007. when they shall be reduced to (?2. On the first day of January, 100S. and from and after that date, the hours of iaDor shall not exceed til) hours per week." Sad Death of a Newberrian.

It will j bo recalled that the grand jury of the i comity lias reported this pond as a j nuisance and dangerous to the health jot" the community for several terms. ' i Some two or three months ago Superintendent Simpson met with the ! foreman of the grand jury and the I citizens of the community at the cutoft' to see just what was necessary. The railroad commissioners were also j present at this meeting. It was agreed that the railroad would build the necessary trestle in 1 order to drain the pond, provided (that the citizens of the community j would dig the ditch from the railroad track the.river, so as to carry off the water after the trestle had been I built by the railroad. The citizens at : once began work and carried out their part of the agreement, digging tho ditch from the railroad track to the ; river. The supeirntendent, of course, I had to go through a lot of red tape in order to get the authority from the officials and the necessary appropriation to do this work. This, of course, took some time, and the grand jury at tho recent term of court presented 'his cut-off again. Superintendent Simpson of course was doing all that he could to carry out his part of the ' agreement, and as stated above, work i was commenced on Saturday. The pond covers about fifteen acres ! of land, and is of an average depth I of about four feet. It is filled with ! water by overflows from the river j and also by a branch, which runs on the upper edge of the pond, and has 1 been there since the road was built. In recent years there has been con| siderahle typhoid fever in the com' mnnity and the citizens have been ad,' vised that it was caused probably by ' the stagnant water in this pond during the dry season of the summer. This year, owing to the rains, the wa. ter. of course, has not become stagnant, being supplied by the creek and [ tin* rain fall. It is the purpose of the citizens to ' have a fish fry and a barbecue tho .lay that the pond is drained. The , I land covered by the pond belongs to Mr. John \V. Ropp. In order that cv1 everybody, who may desire to have some of the tisli, which are in the pond, may have an equal showing, it has been decided to form what they term a joint stock company and Mr. Leo Hamilton, of Chappclls, has charge of the distribution of the fish and those who desire to share in this distribution, may send Mr. Hamilton $1.00, and all who do so, mav have an equal share of whatever fish may be taken from the pond, and this will ml so entitle them to the 1 barbecue dinner. It is estimated by those who have tished in the pond that there are from eight to ten thousand pounds of fish?carp, cat . fish and trout. Friday, the 5th of July, has been ' selected and appointed as the day i upon which the pond will be drain' ed. This date has been agreed upon after conference with the railroad people by the citizens of the com mnnity. Tickets for the fish and barbecue dinner may be secured from Mr. F. R. Hunter, at Newberry. Mr. John W. Sanders will furnish a barbecue on Friday at the cut-off. : The 'cue will be cooked by Mr. James Dunbar, who has the reputation of being one of the finest barbecue cooks J in the state, and everybody who wants .! not only a good fish fry, but a most excellent barbecue dinner, is invited to be present. It is expected that a large number I of people will assemble at the cut-off on Friday, the 5th, not only from ' Newberry, but from Saluda, Laurens II and Greenwood counties. The plan of contributing $1.00 by those who desire a share of the fish has been agreed i upon so that there may be no conI fusion or misunderstanding. Of course t if those who contribute desire to do so, a la fire portion of the fish may be i sold and they will be participants in , the profits. Whore to Buy Furniture. Attention is directed to the advertisement of the Lion Furniture Company, which appears in another column. This company is located in Columbia but you can buy furniture from them and have it delivered in Newberry with the freight paid. This company carries a very large stock, and buying in large quanitics is able to sell at close figures. If you desire anything in their line it will pay you to communicate with them before purchasing. However, it migli* be uncharitable to tell the trnfli about Texas. I m THE NEWBERRY POSTOFFIOE. Receipts Over $10,000?Ready for 1 Free Delivery?Work for City Council. * v i Tlu? total receipts! for the fiscal year ending June .'JO from the sale of stamps and including box rent amounted to $ 10,7(50.22. It' the box rent is deducted, .$f)U4.90, it leaves a total of $10.10.">.2(>. There can, therefore be no doubt that Newberry is en- 1 titled to the inauguration of a free i delivery system, and these receipts are (lie result of legitimate sales and legitimate increase of the business at 1 the ollice. i There !>as been no effort or. the part of the citizens to swell the receipts just before the end of the fiscal year so as to entitle the city to free delivery. After the first of this month the salary of the postmaster is $2,200 and of the assistant. $1,000. Two clerks will be allowed at a salary l if $000 each. It is not stated yet who ' will take the place made vacant by Mr. James Ooggans. City council lias not done anything* towards having' the houses numbered and the streets properly posted, except appoint a committee. The map " has been made, but before the government will inaugurate the free delivery system, it is necessary that the houses be numbered and the streets post- ' ed.
