INCONSISTENT POSTAL LAWS.
A I roe delivery of mail in the city
is very utucli to the disadvantage of
the newspapers that are printed in
the city containing the free delivery.
Postal laws in regard to newspaper
postage contain a great many inconsistencies.
The free delivery of newspapers as
originally adopted hy congress was
intended, it seems, mainly to subsidize
the weekly newspaper ami all of the
weekly newspapers are still given an
advantage over those that are printed
more frequently.
Heretofore llie newspapers printed
in Newberry have had free postage to
all papers delivered in l lie county.
Since lliis posl olliee bec-ime a free
city delivery ollioe the law requires
lliiil I lie newspapers llial are printed
in I lie city ami delivered through this
olTice shall no longer have free postage
and on the seven rural routes
which originate from Newberry shall
be charged the same postage that is
paid for papers on all out of j
I he county mail, which is one cent a]
pound. The other mail delivered in
the county ami delivered by the rural
earners still enjoys free postage.
We can see no good reason for
charging postage on mail delivered
by rural carriers when the route
originates at Newberry ami delivering
it tree by other carriers even if the
mail ?s carried from the Newberrv
' tlice through several counties and
the route may originate from a post-!
oiiice mil of the county. In that case
it is ^lill carried free for delivery in
the county.
I he I act that Newberry is a free
delivery olliee for the city should not
be any reason for charging postage
on rural routes which happen to originate
at I he Newberry olliee. Still
t ha t is I he la w.
Another inconsistency is that we
are permitted to mail papers at Newberry
and have them delivered in
other cities with free delivery by
carriers but if they are delivered in
Newberry by carriers we are required
to wrap them separately and place a
one cent stamp on ouch paper. In
other words if our paper happened
to be printed at Helena and entered
at that olliee we could mail them to
Newberry and have them delivered
by carrier without postage but because
the paper is printed in Newberry
and entered at the Newberry
olliee and Newberry is a free delivery
olliee the law says we must pay one
cent a piece on them.
We are simplx making this statement
so that our subscribers may
know that if Newberry is a free delivery
olliee it is not to (lie advantage
of the newspaper ami (hat we
cannot have our papers delivered by
city carriers without charging an oxi
ra subscript ion price.
flu- *neonsislencios in the postal
laws snonld have the attention of
our congressmen and tliev have been
call, "d to the attention of congress
in several reports by the poslolliee
authorities but no congressman has
undertaken to correct llieui. If the
paper were a weekly paper these objections
would not exist as the law
gives i he weekly paper the right to
go through the mail in the county of
publication without postage. We
shall endeavor to extend our own itelivery
system in Newberry so as to
put all papers into the hands of our
subscribers without mfdilional cost
to them.
All drop letters now are required
to have a two cent stamp.
Those are some of the advantages
of progress. It comes high, but wo
must have it.
SHOULD LOOK AFTER OUR INTERESTS.
I'.y reference to a local in this paper
it will be seen that the Southern
railway is moving up its train from
Columbia and \\c would not be surprised
to see it eventually back to
the old schedule.
It seems to us that this is a mat101
that should have the attention of our
chamber of commerce. The chamber
of commerce should have a secretary
who would watch those matters and
call them to the attention of the
body so that there might he action
taken if possible to prevent changes
of schedule which would work detriment
to the business interest of
the coinnunyty.
The fact is it would pay business
men of the community to pay someone
a sulYeient salary that ho could
give the greater portion of his time
to the chamber of commerce. All
t'.,tr . . '
places the size of Newberry aro
realizing this fact and t?re awake to
their own business interests.
Under the present schedule, while
it is not just what we ought to have,
yet it gives those persons who livo
in the upper section of the county
an opportunity to come to Newberry
and transact business and do shopping
and return to their homes before
night.
If the contention of (he Anderson
chamber of commerce it adopted the
trains will meet at Newberry and it
will not give our friends above Newbery
an opportunity to come here
and attend to any business and return
the same day. These are matters
that affect all our people and it
seems to us should have attention.
We may have a mistaken idea of
I lie duties of' I lie secretary of the
chamber of commerce and we are not
meaning of criticise anyone personally
but it does seem that when matters
affecting the business interests
of the eoininunily are being considered
it is the duly of the chamber
of commerce to be awake to them.
We saw some time ago from the
Anderson papers that Col. llardwick
of I lie Southern railway, was in Anderson
considering this very matter
.of schedule. Of course the Anderson
people are looking out for their
own interests and no one attaches
any blame to them. In fact we commend
their efforts in looking after
their own interests and if Newberry
sits down and does nothing, of course
she will have to take whatever is
LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES
SCARCE.
Savs the Greenwood Index:
"The Index is deeply gratified to
no)e I lie ureal interest which is being*
taken over the county in the important
matter id' sending a strong
delegation lo the legislature from
this county.
"The need of good, strong, sensible
men can be illustrated by an incident
in last week's State convention. In
the midst of a parliamentary tangle
when it took close attention and no
little mental effort to know where
one was at. one Greenwood delegate,
new to the business, turned to another
Greenwood delegate in the same
boat, and said, 'Suppose this was the 1
legislature, what chance would a pee

not elegantly but forcibly, 'As much

so he would."
An cxaination of the week's exchanges
shows that very few candidates
for the legislature have yet announced
themselves. In this county
only one announcement, has been published
while twenty candidates for
other odices have their cards in this
week's issue. The reason is not hard
to lind. It requires the sacrifice of
so much time to make a campaign
and to serve for even two sessions
that few men feel that they can afford
to undertake it. Yet it is very
important to the county as well as to
the Slate at large that good men lie
sent. Why would it not be worth
while for citizens who have some interest
in good government to confer
and after picking out acceptable men
go (o them and induce them to make
the race? Many men would feel inclined
to serve in response to such
a request who would not care to press
their candidacy without an indication
as In whether I hey might be
