We take the liberty of printing the following lelter from Congressman Aiken. It shows how closely he is watching all the interests of every part of his district and that he is en x1eavoring at all times to give the peo ple better service. The Herald and News hos from time to time since the present sched ule was put on urged the establish ment of postal elerks on the midday trains, 18 and 19, between Columbia and Greenville. In faet the Greenville meeting, at which these trains were agreed upon, promised to look after this matter and urge the additional mail service. Now it seems that it is up to the rail road to furnish the car space. We call Superintendent Simpson's at tention to this fact. This is a matter that touches the districts represent ed by Messrs. A. F. Lever and J. T. Johnson as well as Mr. Aiken. We would suggest that this is a proper subject to attract the atten tion of the proper committee from our chamber of commerce, or the president or secretary, and that it should be taken up officially with the railroad and urge the importance of providing space. We now have the best and most convenient schedules we have ever had and postal clerks on Nos. 18 and 19 would give us ex ceptionally fine mail service. The following is the letter from Congressman Aiken: Abbeville, S. C., Sept. 14, 1907. My Dear Col.: Yesterday I read with interest your article concerning mails on trains 18 ond 19 on the Columbia and Greenville road. As soon as those trains were put on I called at 'he post office depirtment and made an earnest appeal of the second assis tant postmaster general for postal elerks on them and was promised that if the trains were made perma nent that clerks would be put on if posoible. Several times since then I have urged upon the management of the Southern road to keep the trains on permanently with the promise that if the travel justified it that they would be kept on. I have also kept the matter of postal clerks fresh in the minds of the post office depart ment people and about three weeks ago the second assistant wrote me that the clerks would very probably be put on now soon, or just as soon as available car space could be secured, but at this time it was impossible to secure the space. I am satisfied that if the Southern road will furnish the space for postal clerks that they will soon be running on the midday trains on the C. & G., Nos. iS and 19. Only yesterday I wrote an urgent letter to the second assistant in behalf of the establishment of this postal service and will continue the fight until the clerks are put on. If the trains are kept on you will spe the clerks on them before a great while. With kindest regards, Yours very truly, Wyatt Aiken. Col. E. H. Aull, Newberry, S. C. ' PAVE THE SIDEWALKS. The action of the city council in taking steps toward having the side walks of Greenwood paved is most commendable. The value to the .property owners will be more than double the cost of putting down the paved sidewalks. The convenience and comfort of such paved walks is too 'well known to need proof. All property having such walks will lbe greatly enhanced ini value. Other towns are doing simi lar work and the citizens are entering into the work with enthusiasm. In ~Greenwood the property owners, so far as is known, are also enthusiastic We are very fortunate that all of these things are so. The good work must be kept up, the enthusiasm will need constant fanning.-Greenwood Index. Constant fanning is no doubt nec essary but our trouble has been to get the blaze started. If we could once get the enthusiasm to assume activity and get on it a good red glow we do not think it would take so much fanning. The sidewalks along most of the business streets are pav ed now and the work was well done but it has never yet got started in the other sections. What we need is first to get some street paving started. We understand tat sine the proposition to pave Caldwell street from Friend to Main p has failed that there is probability w that Main from Caldwell to College g< will be paved. These two sections of di street need paving more than any gt other in the city and we will be glad C] to see the work start somewhere. Once started, if the work is properly d< done, there will be no trouble in hav ing it extended. Nothing helps a town so much as b( good streets and clean streets. We tb need to be doing something along p both lines. We want to see the work to started. p( The attention of the people of th Newberry is directed to the report of tb the trustees of tihe graded school on the special matter of enlarging our school facilities which they were di rected to make at the recent annu al. meeting. " The citizens are called to meet on JO Thursday to consider this report and C it is published in advance so that B every one may be familiar with it 1 before the meeting. It will be seen it that our present school property is O nearly paid for and in two years more the entire bond issue will be wiped out. That we need to enlarge our school i facilities no intelligent citizen who has studied the situation and who ap preciates the importance to a com- C munity of the very best school facil ities, will for a moment question. The board suggests two plans. We are inclined to the view taken by the board that the plan of establishing a high school is the one for us at this time to adopt. It will cost less and serve' a better purpose in our school system at this time. It will not be long before the other plan of anoth er building in a different section of the city will also be a necessity. But both plans are presented and it is for the citizens to say what they will do. It looks more like a comedy than I a tragedy to start a tiger hunt on the Isle of Palms at the end of the sea son.-Florence Times. Probably this is only a bluff. The view point makes a great dif ference. A few years ago when Gay. Tillman issued injunctions there was a great protest about government by o: injunction. Now some who. then made T~ the protest commend it. The view g, point, we presume, is entirely differ ent. "We have recently been much in- w terested by a survey of the contents y< of'the various county weekly papers that come to this office and have been much struck with the amount of edi torial matter that some of them con tain.

Competition the Life of Trade. "As I was idling in the streets one fternoon," a writer in the New York ribune tells the story, "a hawker's ries assailed my ear. The man had truck filled with paper and envel pes, and in a loud voice he yelled: "'Here y'are! Box o' Paper and venty-five envelopes on'y one dime! "But suddenly his yells were rowned by louder ones, and another awker, crowding the first out of the ay, jostling him rudely, shouted, as e pushed along a bigger truck: "'Five cents-on'y a nickel-box paper an' twenty-five envelopes! nly one nickel!' "The trucks came near colliding, he two men glared at each other.
