Remember the old adage, 'c. EPSTIN, The Poatofice. Yes, we all want to know about the Newberry postotlice. Well, this scribe is sorely tired of trying to furnish something new about this matter every week when there is nothi,g new. What is the use to cry peace when there is no peace. Henry Kennedy is still in Washing ton and calls to see the President but the Presdent is out. Sam Chappell k there but it seems he does not call to see the President so often. J. S. Russell is there also, but has not yet called on the President, or if so he is not so reported. Henry Kennedy is reportedI as hav ing gotten Chappell over on his side by some way or other. Chappell's party here deny that re port most vigorously. At any rate it seems Kennedy has gottan possession of some of Chappell's letters and sant them back here, which looks a little as if Chappell had sold out. Whitmire is also in Washington. We wonder what opinion the Ad ministration in Washington has of the Republican party in Newberry. While the war goes on, Kennedy and Chappell are having a big tinue, and somebody pays the bills. Nothing has been learned here, so far as we know, as to when the wa: will end. It is a hard matter for us to seep in mind the list of applicants, so we will try to write thenm downi for reference: Mrs. Herbert, Mrs. Tunnage. Moor man, Bowman, Russell, Whitmire, and if there are any othere we do not recal] them just now. Two Democrats and and four Republicans. The Charleston World's correspond~ ent occasionally relieves the monotony of the situation by mentioning the fact that some of the noted worthies or their friends have'called at the White House to see the President and he was out. Here is the latest, and that is all we know about tho postoffice: WAsHINGTON, July 10i.-A South Carolina delegation, headed by Henry Kennedy, of Newberry, called on the Postmaster General to-day and urged the appointment of Whitmire for post master at that place. Mr. Wananmaker said that he was very sorry that such a fuss had been made about the selection of a man for the position, but lhe would take his time about the considleration of the matter. J. S. Russell, of Newberry, is in town, He wants the appointment hiimself. Everyone should see Wright & J. W. Coppock's Underwear before p)urchas ig. It is ats comnfortablle aIs ornamen-li tal.
