IS THE BELL COMPANY LOSING
MONEY?

The Bell Telephone Company has
given as its reason for putting up its
rates TO business houses, that II was
losing money at the old rates. II this
was literally fact 1t should have been
able to give more definite figures. Ger
tanly it could, without unduly laying
bare its details of management. have
shown just how great the loss is. and
where ii occurs. 1t has not done so.
The Bell Company says it was losing
money at the old rates; yet. from the
time ii received its franchise, in the
spring of 1898. TO the spring of the
present year--for about two years-it
under-cut the Southern States 81 a
year on residence 'phones-the States
charging $50 per year. while the Bell
charged but SIS per year. Why Gf it
was losing money! did 1t not long ago
put up its residence rate TO the same
figure as that of the States Company
as its franchise required that il should?
If the Bell Company was losing
money during all this time il did so de-
Hbcrdiely and Of lis own motion. 1t pre-
fcrrcd to do so in order TO under-cut the
States. Not only that, but in order to
incur. or increase. the alleged losses of
which it now complains. it violated it's
own franchise. which specifically for
badc it to under-cut the States Com
pany
Now, after two years of rate cutting
in violation of its franchise. the Bell
Company comes before the public and
saws. 81 have been losing IS 600 TO slO,-
oOc a year; | am going to double rates
to business houses!" IT BROKE THE;
LAW THAT GAVE TT THE RIGHT
TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS CITY. IN
ORDER TO INCUR THIS ALLEGED
LOSS OF MONEY; NOW IT OFFERS
THAT LOSS AS AN EXCUSE FOR
PUTTING IT'S RATES So HIGHER
THAN THE MAXIMUM RATE FINED
AS JUST BY THE CITY COUNCILS
IN TIE CASE OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES COMPANY.

Virginia expects us TO give q good
account OF ourselves in November and
Accomac must retain her place at the
head of the Democratic column when
the vote ia counted. whether her votes
are needed or not.-Peninsula Enter

That's the way to talk 1T. A man
who will not vote because he thinks
his vote Is not needed is a pretty poor

Hon. II. d. Flood is making an ag-

The Herald has taken the measure of
the situation. We have been of the

Charge

The above are Southern Bell rates in
other cities, of approximately the Nor
folk class. In Richmond, which is
larger than Norfolk, the maximum
charge is S36 year; in Danville. which
is smaller. the maximum charge is $50
Norfolk coming between the two in
population, why should its telephone
rentals be nearly twice as high as
those of Richmond, and quite twice
as high as those of Danville? Mobile
Ala. has nearly exactly the popula-
ton of Norfolk proper; why does the
Bell company seek to charge Norfolk
business men twice as much for tele-
phone service as it is charging the bus
mess men of Mobile?
About 900 business houses in this city
have been using the Bell company's
telephones. 1t proposes to charge each
one of them $50 a year more than it has
been charging them. and is now charg-
ing the business men of Danville or
Mobile. Under the new schedule, the
account OF Norfok's business men with
the Bell Telephone Company would
compare with its account under the old,
somewhat as follows:
Year of $4,000, 900 Bell phones at
$40 ................ s27 600
Year of 0-'01, 900 Bell phones at
Sbu .............-..- .............. $4,000
increase -........... ..........S2I geo
The Bell company has been cutting
rates in violation of it's franchise, and
alleges that it has been losing $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. Now. 1t proposes TO tax
the business men of Norfolk s27. 600
year additional to make up for its al
legged losses. To compel them to use It's
service, it offers Limited service" to
residences at Sl2 year. In order to in
crease its household subscription list.
1t is n pretty game In which the citi-
zen stands TO lose whichever way the
deal is made.

SELLING THE OLD HENS.
Sending Them To Market the Summer
After They Are Two Years Old
Is Good Rule.

We are speaking advisedly when we
say too many old hens are kept on
farms. We know of farms where hens
are kept to n ripe old age and old hens
are scarcely ever sold off. When sell
ing is done, the fittest are gathered in
and marketed, and this does not in
clude the old hens. On many farms
there is no system of marking, and the
old hens are not distinguishable from
the young ones except as they become
so old as TO have large spurs, and then
they are considered too old TO sell, since
no one cares to buy them. The shortest
way out of the business is to let them
remain on the farm. 1t is always good
plan to send hens to the market the
summer after they are two years old.
Not all hens are improbable after that
age, but as a rule so many will be found
SO that II is n good plan TO send them off
unless personal knowledge of their in
dividual value warrants keeping them
longer. Occasionally hen will be found
that will be a steady layer until she is
five or six years old, but where one of
this character is found there will be
many VIII pioNS
Practical egg farmers know when to
sell hens and when to keep them for egg
production. These men are almost
unit that a hen ought to go the summer
after she is two years old. This will
not be so much matter of Importance
now as it will be in the winter. In
winter too large share of the profits
is absorbed by the nonproducers.
Though the remainder of the flock
are good producers they are not
good enough, as rule, to support
the companions that are in idle
ness. If no other way of marking them
can be devised, sell them now when the
puilets can be distinguished from the
old hens. If not too large, they will sell
well at this season of the year. Later
on larger hens can be sol'l.-Home-

HE BAsELY DECEIVED HER.
Let Her Think She Was Reforming
Him, When He Had No Bad
Habits to Break.

$50 your engagement is broken?" said
the girl in gray, according to Pearsons
Weekly.
"Yes, it is" replied the girl in brown,
frowning at the recollection.
What was the matterW
"He basely deceived me-" answered the
girl in brown. You see, it was this way:
l asked him one day to promise me that he
never again would smoke cigarettes, and he
promised. Then / asked him to refrain from
the. use of tobacco in any form, and he prom
ised to do that. Later l told him | had
horror of anyone who touched liquor, and he
agreed never to touch it. After that sug-
gested that thought clubs had bad influ-
ence on young men and | should expect him
to give them up, and he said he would. |
also, took up the subject of gambling, and
made him promise that he would stop play
ing cards and betting on the races"
We'll, you didn't demand a great deal
of him, did you!" said the girl in gray. Il
suppose he deceived you in the matter"
Broke his promise, did he"
"Oh, no! | could have forgiven that. But
just when ! was congratulating myself that
| at least had reformed one young man
found that he didn't require any reforming.
He wasn't addicted to a single one of the
habits made him promise to break. 1t was
terrible shock, and l broke the engagement
at once. There was no longer anything in 1t
to make 1t interesting"
