is an effort being mado to establish
another telephone systom hero in tn,
town OF Newberry, in opposition tc
tho present one--also thero has bco,
made by tho promoter or promoters
q request to take out the present
'Phono now being used and allow
them to put in ono of their systom al
a lower ratio than is now beng
charged, &c, L take this opportunity
to inform my present Subscribers and
those who arc anticipating using q

kindly expression Of those of my sub
scribers and friends who have como
to mo on the subject, and hope that l
may not orr in my course of pro-
ceduro that will cause thom to cues
ton their confidence.
1 am also of tho opinion that it is
not any complaint of bad service
rendered-or poor Instruments, o..
that tho town can support two sys-
toms proiitably-but tho public gen
orally arc not aware Of tho root of
the evil which prompted tho first
promoters to endoavor to establish an
opposition Exchange here and | an
fearful that tho ones who arc bocom-
ing Interested or have Interested
themselves in tho now venture arc
now aware of the origin of this op-
position. And L am of tho impress
sion that if they knew the facts, thoy
would not help an enterprise and
encourage such business method of
revenge.
Irogre5 the occurrence from busi
ness standpoint, not from selfish
motive, becausoI I have been identified
with some of tho promoters in estab
fishing and sustaining enterprises of
different kinds in the town and have
always responded to the best of my
financial standing to aid in anything
that would add to the progress of
tho town, or help any cause l could
Ihave my friends; they have theirs;
l am fighting my battle with my own
money, and the original promoters
are asking assistance, and 1 ask nv
friends to stand near their present
Phones until L ring them up, and I
hope to have good news to tell thom.
L trust that the parties who are
asked to be associated will not infer
from this that am referring to them,
but simply to inform them that I am
aware of the facts which first inspired
the origin Of this new venture, and
knowing them as I believe I do, 7 do
not believe they ara aware of the
facts, and if they are, would not aid
in such a venture.
