PHE BELL TELEPHONE co.
Another ReQuest for an Unlimited Fran
chise Msde at Special Meeting OF
Council Tuesday Morning.

A special meeting of city council was
held on Tuesday morning at the request
of Mr.. M. B. Spier, Superintendent of
the Southern Bell Telephone Co., to
consider the matter Of granting his
company a franchise to do business
within the city limits. J. Y. Culbreath,
Esq, represented the Bell company.
The request was for a franchise unlim-
tied, both as to time and charges.
Mr.. L. W. Floyd vas present in the
interest of his system, which is being
conducted under a franchise of twenty
years duration and fixing a maximum
charge for phones. He stated, how
ever, that it would be agreeable to him
to continue his business under any fran
chise which council might see fit to
grant the Bell company.
After hearing the argument it was
decided to postpone action until the reg
ular meeting of council on the 21st inst.
This makes the third request of the
Bell company for admission to this city.
The matter first came before council on
the 9Th of December of last year, when
an ordinance was passed granting the
Bell company a franchise to install its
system, without any restrictions at all.
Subsequently, on the l4tho of December,
a second ordinance was passed repeal
ing the ordinance of the 9Th, and grant
ing the company a franchise with the
same restrictions contained in the fran
chise under which Nh. Floyd's system
is now being operated. These restric-
tons limit the franchise to a period Of
twenty years and provide that the rates
shall not exceed $500 per year for
residence phones and S24.0G for bust
ness phones. On the 31st of January
Mr.. F. L. Ingram, superintendent of
construction, appeared before council
and on behalf of his company declined
this franchise, but agreeing to accept a
franchise limited to thirty years and
fixing a scale of prices which he had
prepared. This proposition was con-
sidered by council at a meeting on the:
18th of March, when it was decided to
extend the limit of the franchise grant
ed to thirty years, but that the restric-
tions as to charges, being the same as
those placed upon Mr.. Floyd, would
not be removed.
This franchise the Bell company again
declined, and built it's line around the
city. The matter was then entirely
dropped until Tuesday morning.
At the meeting on Tuesday morning,
Mr.. Spier emphatically stated that his
company could not accept a franchise
limited as to time or charges.

Very tbs rS r .nS Mischief

Some time during Tuesday night the
rope holding the electric arc lamp in
front of DR.. J. K. elders residence
was cut. The lamp dropped to the
ground and was broken to fragments.
Aside from reconsideration of the loss
to the city, this was a very dangerous
piece of business. The live wire was
drawn to the ground by the lamp and
remained in the middle of the road un-
til discovered next morning. Sure death
was the fate that would have been met
man or horse travelling along this
street at the time, and it was the
merest good luck that no was in
jured.
!; The rope was cut near the bottom Of
sthe pole. The work appeared to be
that Of a pocket knife.

~Sr.,,n-Ford Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, it's nutriment is destroyed by
Indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses Of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mil
lions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
purifes the blood, and makes you feel
buoyant and vigorous. You a get

So much depends upon having pure,

ject is worthy your careful investiga-
ton and consideration.
You will be better satisfied in select
ing "Clifton" flour, a fact that any
one who knows anything about flour
will tell you. In purity, whiteness and
quality, "Clifton" flour excells all other
flour.
Don't imagine that because "Clifton'
is a high grade flour that the price is
high, because the price is low; in reach
of all housekeepers. Cheap flour is
dear at any price, while "Clifton" is
the least expensive and is the very best

did very large crowd turn out, we
believe its first meeting, taking every
