RURAL CARRIERS ASSOCIATION President Wicker Active in Work of th1e Organization.-Congressman Aiken Commends Association. Mr. T. E. Wicker, president of Rural Letter Carriers Association of this State, has been very active and exerting his best efforts to in eease an interest in the association, and to enlist the co-operation of all the letter carriers in the State. Mr.i Wicker in order to secure, as far as possible, the attitude of the govern ment officials and congressmen to wards the association, a'ddressed a ommunication to Congressman Aiken. requesting his opinion of the subject. [n reply, Mr. Wicker has received rom Congressman Aiken. the follow ing letter: Abbeville. S. C., Aug. 21. 1909. SIr. Thomas E. Wicekr. Newberry. S. C. Dear Sir:-Your letter asking wliat [ believed to be the attitude of the Jovernment toward the rural carriers, ind especially with reference to the arriers organizVation, was duly re 3eived. I am sure that the Government, nd especially Congress. is disposed to do the best for the carriers that the aircumstances each year will permit. [ am also sure that the government loes not look with disfavor upon the sarriers' organiza.tion. It reeognizes he right of the carrier to present his sase in the most forceful and intel ligent manner, and this he can do only through organization. bringing him in toueh with his fellovws. The cariers. in their organized co racity, can render valuable aid to tate and Federal authorities in stim lating road building and in making ther suggestions in aid of rural de velopment. It is not the purpose of he organ.ization to undertake to en ~ore demands, but to present its re nests intelligently and forcefully. I speak as a friend of the rural ear ier. My first speeeh in congress was n support of a bi.ll, proposing to pay ural carriers something like adequate :ompensation. It was one of the irst of such bills introduced; and ~rom .time to time since, I have aided n the passage of similar measures il further improving the carrier's ~ondition. I have felt that the rural ~arier was not fairly trea,ted when .oipared with the city carrier, and have felt no little pleasure in the nereasing recognition that he has ound in congress. I do not hesitate asay .that the association has given n valuable data; and except for or ranization. I do not believe that the lata would have been easily obtain h!e. All carriers share in the bene eial work of the organization; it mems but fair tha.t all should unite ni making it as effective as possible. Very truly yours, Wyatt Aiken.

Believed to Be the Work* of Incendiaries. Magistrate John Henry Chappell's barn. a short distance out of the city,! on the O'Neall bridge road, was burned to the ground on Tuesday night at about ten o'clock. The barn was a modern two-story structure of its kind, and contaiend a quantity of feed. The loss, including barn and contents, is conservatively estimated at about $1,500. Less th.anl half of the loss was covered by insurance. Magistrate Chappell was in New-: berry at the time. in attendance upon a meeting of Cateechee council, De zree of Pocahontas. When he reached his home the barn had fallen in. Mrs. Chappell was at home, with only her small children, and the fire was well under way when they discovered it. Fortunately for Magistrate Chappell, his stoek were away from home at the. time. Had they been at home and in the barn. they would have been* burned. It is believed that the fire was of incendiary origin. It started in the portion of the barn filled with dry food-s.tuffs, and the conflagration was rapid. The presence of tracks going towards Bush river is in line with the theory of incendiarism. Magistrate: Chappell can account for the burning in no other way, and the circumstances, including the tracks, make him posi ie. When seen yesterday Magistrate Chappell said he was convineed that the burning was the work of some one, who had received justice in his court, but that the people might rest assured that he was in no wise intimidated that if everything he had was burned he would continue to do his duty. And those who know Magistrate Chappell know that he will. Central Methodist Church. (Rev. 3. W. Wolling, D. D., Pastor.) On Sunday morning the regular services in Central Methodist church will begin promptly at eleven o'clock and will be conducte'd by the pastor. The subject of the sermon will be' "What of advantage in the old ways?'' The members are urged to re member their morning offering. The Sunday School meets at five in the afternoon and offers a good op portunity for Bible study. The night services begin promptly at 8 :30 wit,h a song servi( :' d Dr. Wolling will p1each on the. words of our Lord: "Be ye also ready.' To ate :d t1ese se -iees all visitors in the 'it- and' tUe gpe.ral public are invite .. Weight of Bagging and Ties. I The Mill A\soeia tionfi or rather the Assoiation~ of Cotton Mills in this State, hias adopted certain rules and regulations. which are to govern the amount of? tare allowed for bag-i ging .and ties on cotton. This rule permits 20 pounds as the weight of te bagging and ties. Any amount in the excess of 20 pounds will be de ducted from .the total weight of the bale. An :enlount equal to 20 pounds will be paid for at the price paid for the cotton. Farmers who have cotton to market should remember this. Train No. 13, the early morning train on the Southern from Columbia, Loe here at 8 :57. was delayed several 1rm y~ est erd ar morning by a freight wreck at Wallaceville, where ten or. twelve cars had turned over. No. 15 arrived via the C., N. & L. track. at about 12:25. No.' 18, the afternoon passenger, bound for Columbia. went thrnough on the Sonthern track. THE ELECTION TUESDAY. Vote on $300,000 Bond Issue , for Roads.-Managers Requested to Send Returns. The'ele to 4)n 6whe h .;dicu wVill! be held next Tuesday. This election will be coiducted inl tie same manner as;reneral elections. an(l only those having a registration ticket will be permit ted to vote. an( evidence of all taxes due. having been paid, will have to be furnished the managers The mana-ers will enforce this rule. and to save time look up your regis traloion ticket and your last tax re ceipt and take them with y0a to tie polls. The lieral4d and News will not send out blainks for returns. but would be ,lad to have the managers send The Herald and News, by phone the re sult at their precinct as soon as' the votes are counted. If there is no 'phone convenient, get the returns to us by wire or by hand just as soon as you can, and it will be very much appreciated. There does not seem to be much interest one -,. or the other, and it, is probable there will be a light votel polled. The election will probably result in a defeat of the bond issue by a large majority. as the people do not seem ready to take this forward step in the march of progress. and then there seems to be in many cases a miscon eeption of the terms of the Act un der which the election is held. But what The Herald and News wants now is the result of the vote as soon as it is known and it is hoped the managers will remember to send it in promptly. Tribute of Respect. Alexander T. Brown, a memLber of Bergell Tribe, No. 24, I. 0. R. M., was alled from his earthly labors on the 14th day of August, 1909. Indeed it is hard for us to under stand the manner in which .the Great Spirit performs his mysteries; but we question not his divine wisdom. In the death of our deceased broth er the city of Newberry, the county of Newberry and the State of South Car olina have lost a citizen of whose rec ord each should be proud, for in the performance of his duties to each of these it can be truly said of him that e was faithful to each and every trust; his family have lost the strong arm of his support an'd the love of a devoted husband and father, and this Tribe a member who at all times could be demanded upon to defend and pro tet it, practicing as he did at all times Freedom, Friendship and Chai-. ty, proving to the world that the principles of this order were foremost in 'his mind and heart Resolved, 1. That the sympathy of the members of this Tribe are ex tended .t.o the family and relatives of the deceased. Resolved, 2 That these resolutions be sperad upon our minutes, that a copy thereof be forwarded to his fain-. ily, and& that they be published in the newspapers of .the county. Cole L. Blease, B. B.

Building a 2-mile race track, where the ponderous machines can fairly fly through space, and where a speed' of 150 miles en hour is made possible, is not an ordinary undertaking by any means. Thousands of men, hundreds of teams, and many giant steam shovels, are required to remove tihe dirt -for the formation of this great track. Seat ing capacity for thousands of specta tors, and other things for their ac commodation, are necessary. Houses have been built for the storing of ma.. chines, grand stands have to be ereet ed, and railroad facilities have to be; looked after, in order t-o handle the vast crowds going to such places. All of these things are being done by the Atlanta Automobile Associa-. tion, a company composed of busi ness men and sportsmen. t-bat is now buil'ding "the fastest automobile race; trad~ in the world.'' The work wvill be finished early in October, and the first race meet will begin on Novem ber 9th, continuing for five days. The Atlanta Automobile Associa tion is composed of enterprising men. who have put .$300,000 into the enter prise, for the purpose of giv ing the Soth the biggest automobile racing plant in the United States. There is iot a dollar's worth of stack either owned or controlled by any one in any way connected with the automobile business. The entry list for Nove:nber meet wvill be one of the largest ini the his tory of automobile racing.

Meeting for Prosposed Highway Held at Laurens.-Unfortunate That Newberry Was not Represented sl)lmle I'li: 3.a_o a I Net-1ing was held at Laitns. .ind iho-R who were pres elt detided t, orrganize a Capital-to Coullty highway assoclatlol between Columbia and Greenville, via New berry and Laurens, and it was decid ed that Mr. J. Adger Smythe, of Laurens, should call another meeting of representatives from the five coun ties through which this highway will run, to be held in Laurens. That meeting was called for Wed nesday evening. the 25th. There was Iu representative from Newberry present. The organization was formed with Mr. Smythe as president, and he was given authority to appoint an execu tive committee from the ser-ral counties through which the ro"- pass es. That organization will seek the co operation of the supervisors and offi cials of the several counties, and also of the people along the road, and it will be a question of only a short time until this will be one of the best highways in the State. It runs along a ridge all the way from Co lumbia to Greenville, and there are no streams of any consequence. It is a matter of sincere regret that none of our citizens felt a suffi cient interest in or were unable to attend, the meeting at Laurens, on Wednesday, but it is hoped that they will fall in line and give it their hearty co-operation. It has not been many years since the Seaboard Air Line really wanted to come by Newberry and went around the town. Newberry should see to it that history does not so soon repeat itself. In this age of the world it is hardly to be expected t1hat gifts will be offered on silver platters. and then urged after a refusal. Newberry Cotton Receipts. The .total receipts of cotton at New berry, for the year ending August 31st. 1908, were 25,575 bales. The total number of bales for this year, ending August 31st, 1909. is 26,432.
