Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base Of
opera.ions was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
Influences I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business on
account of sickness among the workers.
Ny attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic and [ determined to give the
medicine a trial. I procured it, and those who
we're sick were put this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly we're at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was wei and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

TIL &c BELL TET.EPHOkE.

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 Our citizens do not understand the sit.
uation we have concluded to undertake
to set the matter clearly before the peo
pie. 1t is remarkable with what ease
one can secure signatures to q 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:
To the honorable town ncouucil:Whereas,
1t has been brought to the knowledge OF
your undersigned petitioners that OH
& account of certain restrictions placed IN.
{ on the s.. B. T. & r. Co. by All Ordi.
nance passed December Id, rool, that the
said company can not enter the town and
establish an exchange and long distance
connections but will be forced to con-
5str.ict their line aronnd the town, and,
Whereas, we believe that such action will
not only materially injure the town, but
that the establishment Of such exchange
will be of inestimable value to it's citizens
and business interests; Therefore. we
pectfully5 petition your honorable body
to grant a license to said company as has
been done by ~, 500 towns and cities
thronghout the country. !" sz.S

We have no objection to seeing the
Bell people put 4 System i'll the town. In
| fact we would like to sec it. because of
| the out Of town connection which we
have not at present. But we do not want
to see them have advantages amp
privileges which arc not granted to the
home phone, which we now have and
| have mad for some years, because that
would be neither right no, just
On Che 9th OF December the city Cour-
| Gil passed an ordinance granting the Bell
company Il franchise to install its system
without any restrictions at all. a copy
| Of this ordinance is published in another
part of this p per. Subsequently to wit,
OH the IAth Of December the city council
passed another ordinance repeating the
ordinance of the 9th and Erantin% the
Bell company a franchise with the same
restrictions contained in the franchise Of
Mr. Floyd These restrictions arc TO
limit the franchise to period OF twenty
years and provide that the rates shall
not exceed eighteen dollars a year for
residence phones aud twenty flour dollars
for business phones. As stated these
same restrictions aic placed upon the
franchise granted Mr.. Floyd In case
the Bell company put in metallic circuit
then it should be allowed S2I for resi-
dence and $50 for business phones per
year. These arc the facts in the case.
Now insleal IL the Bell company being
willing to accept these conditions and
come in or the same basis rs Mr.. Floyd
their representative is circulating the pc
tilion 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 il. 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 not say that
the Bell company would do il but if they
were & wen All unrestricted franchise, be
| ing Il rich corporation, they could give us
a very cheap rate for a time, in fact SO
| cheap as to drive the home company ont
| 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 say they would do it, but il is best to
make it sure while we are at ii and il is
| unreasonable for the Fell Company to
ask special privileges which were not
granted the home company. Let them
! both i'll OH the same basis No man can
rightly complain OF that. The last ordi,
mace passed by council is alright and
should stand even though the people pc.
,ition otherwise. We do not believe they
understood what they were asking whe,,
the petition was signed.
| We do not desire 10 be misundcrs TODD
We would like TO see the Bell Company
| come in and establish their systcn, bu,
if they will not come unless they ar,
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 Il
good motto.
