Gentlemen: Agreeable to your
request by telegraph we have taken
pleasure TO attend The Water Ways
Convention which was held here
yesterday and to-day representing
your city snd your district.
We can assure You that we couid
not have represented a more de-
serving subject, and what We have
done in our humble capacity We
have done with the greatest Of
pleasure, and We hope it will bear
good results.
The convention vas attended by
about one hundred delegates and
more representative body of men
were seldom found to meet. Their
sole object WA Ia stand united M
on such an important cause, as the
improvement Of the water ways os
our great state.
The meeting was short but de
termined. Hon. Dudley Wooten OF |
Dallas was tie Chairman and no
ADLER man could have been selected
for this important position.
The first day of the convention
we have brought in the herein en-
,Iosed resolution which was we'll
received by the delegation aud
among other resolutions relocated
to the Committee on resolutions.
The Committee on resolutions
consisted of one member of each
county, and worked diligently up
IN the mass Of resolutions flat
we're before them.
After deliberating on this sub
ect for some considerable time
hey came to the conclusion to
frame resolution recommending
- Congress and Its representatives
ne improvement aud opening up
II all of the water ways of eur
State. This was done so as to pre-
rent any antagonism among tie
Tarious localities.
From Colonel Richie we under
stand that the deepening CT your

ION as you viii read covers all the

THE BELL IN HAGERsTowN.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Vr-
ginian- Pilot will be found a news arti
Gle from the "Hagerstown Morning
Herald detailing the efforts of the Sell
Telephone Company to secure Il Mono
poly of the field in that section OF
Maryland. IT IS THE SAME STORY
THAT HAS COME UP FROM EVERY
TOWN AND CITY WHERE THE
BELL COMPANY HAS a SYSTEM
first poor service at high rates. until
competition is afforded the people. and
then rate cutting and better service in
an attempt to drive out competition
aud again establish Monopoly.
It would doubtless be found. If an
impartial investigation of its record
were made. that in not single city or
town of the United States where the
Bell Company has inaugurated q sys-
tenn has It ever, It's own motion. given
good service at reasonable rates. or
contented itself with straightforward,
legitimate, business methods. The
poorest service at the highest rates:
manipulation of City Councils and even
Legislatures; rate cutting against
competition, and extortion where there
Is no competition-these seem to be
cardinal tenets Of the Bell business
creed. At the present time II is at war
with its subscribers in half the South
ern cities. by reason of this policy
which is at once vicious and asinine.
In Hagerstown, as in Norfolk. the
Bell Company is fighting company
that is doing business under a fran
chlse fixing a maximum rental charge
The Bell Company. there as here, has no
such maximum fixed for 1t, and Is cut
ting rates against its competitor in Or
der to get possession of the field and
charge what 1t pleases.
This is the concern to which a ma
jority of the Councils of this City gave
a vote of confidence, overriding the
city's contract and sacrificing its clear
interests in order to do It.
The Bell Company. by Its tactics
makes itself more of a nuisance than a
convenience everywhere it gets foot
hold-except, of course, in the affec-
tons of a majority OF Councils afore-
said. where it is an unbemished mar
tyr with halo and bank account.
