COLUMBUS, GA, March Yesterday
the Managers of the Telephone Company
here gave notice to some forty or fifty
original subscribers to the exchange that
the rate of $51 per annum would be raised
to $50. This announcement created quite
a stir. A petition was soon circulated,
signed byIabout fifty subscribers, pIedging
themselves to discontinue their subscrip-
tlons should the company persist in de
manding the increase. The company
claims that 1t is no increase, as more than
sixty recent subscribers pay $50, and 1t is
no more than just that the first subscribers
should pay the same. The company is
determined and says that the instruments
will be taken down unless the amount de-
manded is paid. What will be done in
the matter remains to be seen.
Information has been received here that
negro working on the Americus, Pres
ton and Lumpkin Railroad, near Lump

was terribly beaten, tied hand and foot, &,
and thrown into log hut, which was set
on fire and burned to the ground. Parties
visiting the scene found only the charred
remains of the unfortunate man.
