THE GOVERNMENT READY. To Put Mail Service on 18 and 19 Be tween Columbia and Greenville -Up to Railroad. Sometime ago we called a!tentioni C) ij10 ftl('t iIi &I le 1i-l!hlInen[ I1lad rfiedt m"aI rOice in1 o train 1 3-119 bet WC& il I'' :lil ai.d (i f ieel Vile vu the Siuthin lailmaY. and that the only thing in the way was to have the railroads furnish the ears. The following, letter from the second assistant postmaster general to 0on Oressman Aiken is further confirma tion of this statement. This additional mail service would be a great convenience to the people, along .the road from Columbia to Greenville. and it is hcped that Sup ciilnandent Simapo()n will take the matter up and provide tihese cars withoit further delay. It has been his policy since he has been spein tendent of this division to give the host possible service to the patrons of his road. and we do not know any thing just now that he could do that would be -of greater service. The chanibers of commeree and the busi ness men along the line, who reside in the several towns. might take the matter up with the superintendent and other officials of the Southern, and probably it could be hurried somewhat. It was the understandig that when the-e additional trains were put on. that the possibilily of making them peimanent trains -would be enhanced if they cculd be made re,ular mail trains, and Mr. Aekert, tt the meet ing in Greenville, indicated that if the people would secure mail service on the trains, that they would be made permanent trains, and that it would be a great help in.the way of revenue. Now, that the government has agreed to make them mail trains and is ready to put thd service on them, it seems that the railroad ought to come for ward and do ilts part promptly. The following is a copy of the let ter to Congaessman Aiken: Post Offree Department, Office of Second Assistant Postmaster General, Division of Railway Mail Service, Washinzton, D. C. October 23, 1907. ion. Wyatt Aiken. Akbbe'ville, S. C. My Dear Mr. Aiken:. 'Referring to 'your -several .letters urging the esgblishment of .mail ser vice on trains 18 and 19 between Greenville and Columibia, 8. C., I have to advise that the department is ready to aippoint tihe additional force required, but as yet the Southern rail 'way Com'pany.,has been unable to furni'sh a car. An appointment will be promptly made as soon as the comn pany can provide the necessary equip ment. - Sincerely yours, (:Signed) J. T. MeOleary, Second Assistant Postmaster Gene'ral.

Most of the land is fertile and easily cultivat ed and conveniient to market. It ought to be something like an old time Newberry salesday when every body came to town and business was irisk and collections good. l'OR CHINA, CROCKERY and tin ware go to Watts' Racket Store.
