The amended telephone franchise
ordinance rs passed last Wednesday
night by the City Council has the
hearty approval of this paper and of
those for whom it has heretofore been
speaking. We realize and have con-
tended that the Anderson Telephone
Company should have it's rights and
privileges fully protected against all
corners whOmsoever; we believe that
the best sentiment of the city favors
giving to the home company such pro-
lection by private encouragement and
patronage as will enable it to give to
It's subscribers the very best possible
service; we believe that nine tenths of
the telephone subscribers here would
oppose for manifest reasons the in
stallation Of new competitive system
in the city ms vigorously as they have
opposed the proposition to shut out
such competition. The Anderson Tc!c-
phone Company has given the city ex-
cellent service, and, with its improved
system. is amply competent to handle
the entire business Of the city for
decade to come, with which efficiency
its subscribers will be sufficiently con-
tent to encourage rather the service of
one good system than to attempt to
become subscribers to two necessarily
crippled institutions. This being the
logical resultof two systems, Anderson
people will support the interests of the
home company and give it every phi
/vatc preference. The ordinance as
Apassed eliminates every exclusive fea-
'turc and leaves the field open for legiti-
mate competition, factor no one ex-
poets in actuality, but most valuable

II j. getting time that some definite
Snap" bc taken to the proposition by
the farmers to hold their cotton for
higher prices. There are vigorous OBJ
.icctions being urged from certain quar-
tcrs that the plan is visionary, wild and
iinpracticable, but on what grounds
dcloncnt failcth to specify Certain
1t Is that the plan of warehouses; now
III practice throughout the South ON an
experimental scale has paid the farmers
handsomely. They have been enabled
to discharge their obligations promptly
from advances made on stored cotton,
and having held their cotton through
out Il net advance of ;iiIout two cents Il
pound, they feel sufficiently satisfied
with their investment to renew il this
season except upon Il larger scale. If
then the farmers r.apc.l am unexpected
harvest from .ju.lciOus storing on the
experimental plan, when insurance and
storage rates were necessarily higher
han they would be- under permanent
system of warehouses, why not bc pre-
pared for the contingency of Il dcprcss-
cd market ut the opening of the season
whether or not the then controlling
prices Justify using the remedy! No
one would be SD foolish us to urge
storing every season and under all cir
crmstanccs, but it is manifcstly to
Southern interests to be in position to
dictate the terms upon which the fruit
of their labor shall be disposed. We
hope to see this matter taken in hand

pushed to early organization, not only
in this County but throughout the
State, and by cooperation with the
already growing organizations of sister

a lever that We reserve with which to
insure for private and public Interests
the best service consistent with the
rentals paid. This is all the citizens of
Anderson want, and that is just what
the compromise ordinance guarantees.
The Council acted with wisdom in
passing the ordinance as agreed upon,

The Situation.

Persistent rumors credit tho Russian
government with the desire to turn to
advantage in Asia the difficulties in
which Great Britain finds herself en-
tangled in Africa. Russia's chief rival
in Asia is Great Britain. and the interests
OF the two empires are coming moro and
more in close contact. 1t 10 very im-
portant for the worlds peace that these
two great powers ABIDE peaceably side
by side, and work together, a. we'll az
they may for the progress OF Asia.
At Paardebsrg, Feb. q, was the fourth
day OF Cronje's fine defense. The posi-
tion was found to be wonderfully strong
naturally, and to form tho real key to
the position in the case OF defense
against Boer reinforcements advancing
from the east. A great deal OF forage
provisions and equipment was captured
and the kopje vas frequently dotted
with blood, showing that many wounded
had been removed. The Boer method oi
removing their dead is to tie . couple Of
reins to the body, which is thus dragged
of by two horsemen at full gallop. The
headlines Try to tell the story: "Cronje
cornered, but fighting to the death
Fourth day of the battle. Opens with
fearful fire, ending in Boer reverse
Death rate appalling. British continue
the merciless cannonading. General
Cronje said to be willing to surrender
but young Transvaalers balk and insist

much discouraged. At Pretoria con.

A eoodly number OF Platte county men

ssThe investigation by the county
attorney began soon after receiver wa
APPOINTED, for there was then ample
opportunity for investigation OF the
books Of the company. The information
il drawn up at great length and in addi'
tion to the first, in which the larceny
and embezzlement OF $4,000 is charged
against Harris, Hilliker and White, sep
arate information is also filed against the
officers a individuals and their alleged
peculations are listed in sums ranging
all the way from 500 to $500. The
double charge OF larceny and embezzie
ment is carried all the way through
The grand total OF all the alleged pilfer
| ing aggregates somewhere near $lO,OOO
in which it is alleged that all were about

conducted in q most energetic manner

OF the state. Thousands Of dollars o.
policies were written and losses occurred
from time to time, but the policy hold
ers found it difficult to make collection

holders are now pending in the distric
courts, the idea being to force payment
OF losses. 1t is said that the investiRa
tiou made thus far indicates that tn
greater part Of the money taken was dis
bursed in salaries to the various officer

least that is the line along which tn

Ar Humboldt, Iowa, q once wealthy
and prominent farmer OF the county
named Michael Chess, recently died of
neglect, and the case is in the courts.
He became demented, was sent to an
asylum, afterwards released. decided q
farm Of 200 acres to his sister, Mrs. Frank
Aikalek. His treatment seems to have
been very cruel and fiendish. No physi-
clan was called; he had had congestion
OF the lungs; the bowels were inflamed;
the feet were found frozen and several
toss were sloughed of; the body was
very emaciated, telling OF cruelty and
neglect. Evidence showed that Chess
had been kept in the barn, had received
poorer food than the stock on the farm,
was barefoot and practically unclothed.
He had never been within the house
since the removal from the asylum until
the night OF his death. Mikalek and his
wife arc under arrest.
