TIE BELL rE1EpRoNE.

The Herald and News has said nothing
about the efforts OF the Bell Telephone
Co. to secure franchises in the city OF
Newberry. Believing that great many
of Dur citizens do not understand the sit
nation we have concluded to undertake
to set the matter clearly before the peo-
pie. It is remarkable with what ease
one can secure signatures to petition.
Many people do this without knowing
what they are asking when their names
are placed to the petitions. &.
The following petition has been cir
culated by a representative of the Bell
Telephone Co. and has been signed by
nearly every citizen of the town:
S TO the honorable town council: Whereas,
it has been brought to the knowledge OF
your undersigned petitioners that on
account of certain restrictions placed up
on the s. B. T. & T. Co. by an Ordi-
nance passed December ID, 1901, that the
said company can not enter the town and
establish an exchange and long distance
connections but viii be forced to con-
struct their line around the town, anG,
whereas, we believe that such action will
NOT only materially iujure the town, but
fnat the establishment of such exchange
will be of inestimable value to its citizens
and business interests; Therefore, we
respectfully petition your honorable body
to grant license to said company as has
been done by 1850 towns and cities
throughout the country"

The action of the governor and COM
troller general in extending the time for
the payment of taxes to the first day OF
March has met with general approval.
The past year has been very hard one
and action of this kind was necessary. It
would be much better, however, if some
definite time could be fixed and the peo-
pie would come to think there would be
nosextension, except in case of some
heavy calamity befalling the State. The
time has been extended so much of late
that the people have come to expect it,
and if it were not extended many of the
people would be in a bad condition.
: It is probable that the next Legislature
will take some action in this matter.

We have no Objection TO seeing tne
Bell people put system in the town. In
fact we would like to see il because OF
the out of town connection which we
have not at present. But we 10 not want
to see them have advantages amp
privileges which arc not granted to the
home phone, which we now have and
have had for some years, because mat
would be neither right nor JUST
On the 9Th Of December the city coun-
ell passed an ordinance granting the Bell
company franchise to install its system
without any restrictions at all. copy
of this ordinance is published in another
part of this p per. Subsequently to Wit,
| on the 18th of December the city council
passed another ordinance repeating the
ordinance of the 9th aud granting the
Bell company a franchise with the same
restrictions contained in the franchise OF
Mr.. Floyd These restrictions are to
| limit the franchise to a period OF twenty
years and provide that the rates shall
not exceed eighteen dollars a year for
residence phones and twenty-four dollars
for business phones. As stated these
same restrictions are placed upon the
franchise granted Mr.. Floyd In case
the Bell company put in metallic circuit
then it should be allowed $24 for resi-
dence and $36 for business phones per
wear. These are the facts in the case.
Now instead of the Bell company being
willing to accept these conditions and
come in on the same basis as Mr.. Floyd
their representative is circulating the pc
tition quoted above requesting that the
first ordinance be passed and they be al
lowed TO install their system without any
restrictions at all and nearly every every
one to whom the petition has been pie
sented has signed it. We think that a
great many of our people must have sign
ed it without understanding its purport
Why should the Bell company come here
and ask privileges which are not granted
the home company? If they do ask them
why should the coucil grant them andwhy
do the people ask it? We do rotsay that
the Bell company would do it but if they
were given an unrestricted franchise, be-
ing a rich corporation, they could give US
| a very cheap rate for time, In fact so
cheap as to drive the home company out
| of existence, and then they could soak us
By raising the price, and we would be at
their mercy or without phones. We do
not saw they would do it, but it is best to
make il sure while we are at it and it IS
/ unreasonable for the Bell Company to
ask special privileges which were not
granted :he home company. Let them
| both in on the same basis. No man can
rightly complain of that. The last ordl-
mace passed by council is alright and
should stand even though the people pc
tition otherwise. I'VE do not believe they
understood what they were asking when
the petition was signed.
We do not desire to be misunders TODD.
We would like to see the Bell Company
come in and establish their system, but
if they will not come unless they are
given special privileges not accorded Mr..
Floyd when his franchise was granted
they had better stay out. equal rights
to all, special privileges to none," is a
good motto.

Mr.. F. G. Fraser of-the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Co. has been
circulating a petition among the busi-
ness men and citizens of the Town gen
orally for the past few days requesting
the Council to give the Company the
Ordinance published below. This Or
dinance was once passed by the Coun-
Gil, but was afterwards repealed and a
subsequent ordinance passed restrict
ing them as to length of franchise and
as to rates. This Company cannot
come in under such restrictions and is
now obtaining rights of way to 90
around the Town and deprive its citi-
zens of the advantages of the practi-
caIiy universal connection afforded by
this Company, unless such franchise is
granted, They do not care to have any
advantages over the Home Company,
but are willing that the Home Company
be granted the same privileges as they
are now requesting.
In this connection it might be men
toned that the Bell peop.e are nov put
ting in the wire for the fire alarm and
police system at Greenville, S. c., in
accordance with terms of the subjoined
Ordinance. The petition has been
unanimously signed, practically ali OF
the business firms in Town having af-
fixed their signatures. 1t will be con-
sidered at the regular meeting of the
Council on Tuesday night and. in view
of the numerously signed petition, the
outcome is awaited with great degree

Tic st. Joe House. IN It's day. was one
OF the bcst-knuwn OF st. Louis hotels. 1t
was constructed about the time the old
North Missouri Railroad was completed.
This road was one OF the first to be built
in the State and extended from st. Louis
to st. joseph. in honor OF which city the
structure was named.
The depot Of the old railroad was located
near the hotel. and the hostelry made the
headquarters of the officials OF the road
when they visited st. Louis. The house
soon became famous as relay house.
Travellers arriving on the steamers stopped
over at the hotel while waiting for their
trains.
After an era of prosperity. the depot was
removed. and the patronage began to fall
off. until the establishment Of the old sugar
refinery on the next block. This industry
gave the house Il new lease Of life, until
the refinery was absorbed and closed down
by the trust, about twelve years ago Soon
after the closing OF the refinery the hotel,
after changing hands several times, was
abandoned.
