BETTER SERVICE IN AMERlcUs
Manager Weaver Has a Word Upon
This Subject,

Manager Weaver Has a Word Upon
This Subject,
In connection with the article in yes
terday's Times Recorder with refer
ence to petition requesting the South
ern Bell Telephone Company to i'm
prove its service in Americas, the
Time s-Recorder had an interview with
Local Manager Weaver. who stated
that he was advised that such petit
ton had been circulated and freely
signed; but that quite a number OF
those who Lad signed the petition had
assured him that they, personally, had
no complaint to make of the service.
While at the same time the petition
had been signed by quite number
who are nc subscribers,
Manager Weaver stated that the
physical plant of the Southern Bell
Telephone & Telegraph Company in
this city was practically new, Lhaving
been entirely reconstructed in 1900,
and that as good service should be
furnished with the same as can be
IN any town of similar size.
He states that there are frequent oc-
casions in this exchange, as also in
any exchange of this size, when sub
scribers have unsatisfactory service,
due to the temporary disarrangement
of some part of the mechanical devices
which constitute part of the service.
but that such troubles are common tc
all telephones the country over and
they are remedied just as soon as they
are discovered.
He states that every effort is exerteG
by him to see that the best service pos.
sible is rendered, and that he has beer
assured by the parties who were in
strumental in circulating this petition
that the same had been destroyed, anC
would not be pursued further. D
He states further that he has re q qes
ted the district superintendent to sent
an expert representative to American
to make a thorough investigation o
the service to the end that any defec
which may be found to exist may b.
remedied, and he wishes to assure tn,
subscribers that this is not only hi
desire but that of the Bell Company
and It's management, to furnish at al
times the best service possible.

OFFICIALS FILED
BOND YESTERDAY.
County Board Has Approved
Them All.
ALL TROUBLE SOON ADJUSTED,
Guaranty Company Readily Agrees to
Settle Sullivan Bond, and County
Commissioners Approve Those OF
Other Officials.

At conference yesterday morning be-
tween the board of county commission
ers of Sumter and Mr.. s. T. Mccall,
the special agent of the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Co., the Sulli-
van bond matter was very quickly and
quite satisfactorily adjusted.
The company will at once pay the en-
tire sum involved.
And in view of this agreement the
commissioners then readily approved
the new bonds of county officers here,
viz, tax collector g, tax receiver and
treasurer's, Issued by this company.
This company, as previously stated,
is upon the bond Of former Treasurer
Sullivan, who had Sc 400 of county
funds deposited in the defunct Peoples
Bank. This amount has not been paid
over by the guaranty company, though
it will be forthcoming very soon.
Itrequires some little time to adjust
claim of this magnitude, but having
done so to it's satisfaction the company
is now perfectly willing and ready to
settle the loss.
Upon the other hand the county
commissioners, while aware of the fact
that the bond was as good as currency,
were not disposed to approve the new
bonds of the company until the claim
was disposed of. hence the delay 10
forwarding bonds to the comptroller
general.
The bonds of Tax Collector Small
for the sum of $40, 900, that of Receiver
Raiford for $1,000 and of Treasur, r
Speer for $4,000 were approved and
sent forward last night.

ASkEW DEFIED THE LIGHTNING
Charged With Swipine a JugfuI of Old
Booze.

Scott Askew is an Americus coon
and probably has never read the story
of the brave youth who defied the
lightning in the mountain pass while
carrying an auction flag for the Excel
sior clothing house, but when Scott
came within range of jug of Excel
sior liquor yesterday he forgot the
commandments and all else except the
booze. Scott is charged with swiplng
the whole juglet instead of simply
tanking up, and accordingly Sheriff
Bell has tabled Scott and put him
away IN the county museum.
