COMPANY W1LL5ARoLIsH THE
COLLECTION SYSTEM.
SETTLEMENT WILL
BE- MADE AS WITH GAS OR
ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY.
MUST PAY ON Or BE-
FORE THE 18TH.

The Consolidated Telephone Com,
panya has issued the following letter
to be sent TO each of its patrons:
Ss=e our attention is called to the fol-
sIowing q facts in order that you may
know. what efforts have been made to
improve and extend the service: ~
During the past two years about
fifty thousand dollars (S50,000) has
been spent in Improvements and eX-
tensions, and we are now prepared to
E give our patrons as far west as Park
ersburg and Marietta, as far east as
Oakland, Md, and far north as Wheel
ing and in short time reach Pitts
burg and Cleveland, and as far south
as Sutton, Glenville and Grantsville.
Besides this, we have connected
Mannington, Fairmont, F'a1rview, Graf
ton, Clarksburg, Elkins, Belington,
Parsons and intermediate points with
copper metallic circuits We are de-
sirous of giving the best possible SER
vice to all patrons, and we are glad
to- have suggestions from subscribers
that will improve our service.
Owing to the large number of sub
scribers, the extent of the territory
covered, and the expense of collect
ing the rentals, it becomes necessary
\ for US to establish system by which
our subscribers can call at the cen
: trail Office with which they are con-
nected and make settlement, or re-
NIT same to the. general Office at
Fairmont, w Va, rather than have a
collector call on each patron.
H: ST he board of4directors have decl=
ded that the telephone rentals will re-
main the same to all subscribers who
pay on or before the 18th of the first
month Of each quarter; namely. Jan
uary, April, July and October. All
telephone rentals are by the contracts
and the rules of the company due and
payable on the first day of the quar-
ter We will adopt the method en-
pIoyed by the gas and electric light
companies, and mail you a card show
1ngayou the amount Que for telephone
service. You will notice that the rem
tai as II appears on the card has
been increased fifty cents per tele-
{ phone but this will be rebated if paid
on or before the 18th of the first
month Of the quarter OF your contract
at your central office, or at the general
Office at Fairmont-

The soldiers stormed the building
from whence the shots came, and four
unionists were shot. The remainder
fed hurriedly. The soldiers who were
unhurt pursued and arrested NUM-
Der of the fleeing men, and continued
far into the night to scour the country

ARRESTED on wife's Complaint.

A man living in this vicinity was
arrested on complaint of his wife
yesterday on a peace warrant. 1t
seems that the man and his wife
parted some time ago and she has
been living with another man since
Her husband has made some threats
and she had him arrested. The trial
was to come up this afternoon but
hezwoman did not appear to prose
cute; and the case had TO be dls
missed. From the mans story IL is
evident that the woman is the one
who should be punished. If she is
living with another man she ought
Ito be glad to get off with a few
threats.

years. TIE duty of the producers is
plain and simple. They have crowded
the markets for tic past two months,
congesting every facility for handing
cotton and playing into the hands o

thing to do nOw is TO give the mar
kets and shippers a rest during the
next 80 days and allow present stock, S
Of fSpot cotton to lie gotten out of the
way. Let the spinners who are living
from hand To mouth run short of cot
ton ard force them into the mark, Is as

lators begin to feel he lash CT the bull
operators when the latter call for the
deliveries of spot cotton which the
former will be unable to deliver.
Let every holder of cotton absolutely
stop selling and sit down ut home
and quietly contemplate results. Let
each holder determine to put no more
cot ton on the market until prices ad
vance and never sell a bale ON de-
pressed market
Let county meetings be held all
over the belt, and strong and active
steps be taken to defend this most
valuable agricultural product from
The rapaciUuS greed Cf he selfish
spCculatcr. Let every man who Still
holds bale Of cotton in his possession
