This is a mattoi ,h;" touches the districts represent<'d by Messrs. A. |<\ LOVor and J. T Johnson as well as Mr. Aiken.

Several times since then I Imve urged upon the management of In- Southern road to keep the trains r?<;n?aneiilliV with the promise hat il the travel .justified it that hey would be kept on. I have also Kept the matter of postal clerks fresh ?n the minds of the p,,S| oilice depart people and about three weeks ago the second assistant wr.de me that the clerks would very probably be put on now soon, or just as soon as available car space could be secured, l??t at this time it was impossible to secure the space. I am satisfied that 'I fl?e Southern roa.l will furnish the space for postal clerks that they will soon be running on the midday 'trains on the ( . ^ Wis. IS and l!>. Only ye-tei-day I wrote an urgent letter to the second assistant in behalf of the establishment of this postal service and will continue the light until the clerks are put ?n.# If the trains are k?>pt on you will s/>e the clerks on them before a great while. ^ 11 h kindest regards.

The action of the citv council in taking steps toward having the sidewalks of (ircenu ood paved is most commendable. I be value to the property owners wil! be more than double the cost of putting down the paved sidewalks. I he convenience and comfort of sueli paved walks js too well known tc need proof. All property having sueli walks will be greatly enhanced in value. Other towns are doing simiJar work and the citizens are entering into the work with enthusiasm. l!i Greenwood the property owners, sc far as is known, are also enthusiastic Wo are very fortunate that all ot these things are so. The good work must be kept up, the enthusiasm will need constant fanning.-Orecnwooc Index. Constant fanning is no doubt necessary but our trouble has been tc get the blaze started. If we could once get the enthusiasm to assume activity and get 011 it a good red glow we do not think it would take sc much fanning. The sidewalks Alone most of the business streets are paved now and the work was wel 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 that since the proposition to pav? 0 m J Caldwell street from Friend to ft has failed thai there is probabi that Main from Caldwell to Col will he paved. These two section: - street need paving ruore than other in the city and we will be j _ to sue the work start somewh Once started, if the work is prop done, there will be no trouble in 1 s ing it extended. Nothing helps a town so mud e good streets and clean streets. 1 need to be doing something al s both lines. We want to see the w y started. The attention of the people Newberry is directed to the repori Q the trustees of the graded school - the special matter of enlarging school facilities which tliey were y reeled to make at the recent an t a I meeting.

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

Look for the si the people, drawn by the shouts, hurried from their houses. 1 "Finding that the two kinds of paper were identical, the people bought the cheaper sort hungrily. I was amazed to see the business that the nickel mind did. As for the dime man, poor | fellow, lie shouted on lustily, but it r: seemed that, the louder he shouted, *'l the more of his rival's stock the peoplo bought. "Finally the sales ceased. Everybody had bought enough paper to last a year. "The dime man departed first, and the nickel man left a few minutes later. I followed to see a repetition of the rival sales in the next 'street. " The dime man, to my amazement, was waiting around the corner, and, as he piled a lot of his stock on the other's nearly empty truck, I heard r iin say, with a chuckle, 'It works f fine, Hill, don't it V " It's Easy to Think. | The poor man thinks had lie the ' wealth Of others who abuse it, ITe'd never make that sad mistake, For he'd know now to use it.
