Electric Light Affairs.
For some time past the commercial circuit
lights have not been giving general satisiac-
tion to the merchants using them. The lights
would be continually fiickering, making it
very unpleasant to transact any business
with them. The matter has re-
ceived attention on several occasions,
but the lights did not improve until
within a few days when the Schuyler
Electric Light company, of Hartford, Conn,
sent competent persons to Columbia with in
structicns to remain here until the trouble
Is remedied, The lights are now doing
much better.
In the office of the light company is an in
