Recently The Herald received

Recently The Herald received a
proposition from an advertising
agency, offering ten passes to the
Jamestown Exposition in exchange
for at least one hundred dollars worth
of advertising. Of course thepropo-
sition went into the waste basket
without a reply. This newspaper
and the press'of South Carolina have
been liberal in the use of space for
the exploitation of the Exposition
not for any financial reward or passes
but from patriotic impulses. But If
the management is to adopt the
method of handling their advertls-
ing through a crowd of cut throat
agents, for our part they will get
nothing from u.s.: We do not mind
advertising the Exposition free, but
we have absolutely no use for adver-
tising agents. In fact they have
given us untold trouble in the past
and we have discontinued business
with all of them. People who want
to get into our columns now must
make contracts direct, for the only
wav we do business with advertising
agents is on the cash-in-advance basis.

OUR TELEPHONE SYSTEn.

The people OF Bamberg nave a
right to better telephone service
than they are getting and they should
demandit. There are several grounds
of complaint which should be rene
died and that right speedily. The
Bell Telephone Company has a
monopoly here, as they bought out
the two old systems. In a short time
they raised the rates, and one now
pays $3.50 a month for a business
phone on a straight line, that is, an
independent line, or for this service
at a residence, $500 is charged. For
residence phones on party lines the
rate is $3.50, and for business phones
on party lines the price is $500 a
month. For town this size $3.50 is
entirely too much for a business
phone, and the company should not
be allowed toputin party lines either
for business houses or residences.
They are nuisance, is our expert
ence, and we believe most of those
who have them here will agree with
us, for they are out of order a good
part of the time. The plan is to put
several phones on one line, and not
to ring but one phone at a time and
that the number wanted. Very often
you ask for a number on party line
and the wrong phone rings. Often
has the writer been called to the
phone at his house only to find that
people on the same line were wanted.
Then, too, in order to make this
party line work, the bell on the phone
is set so far apart that one cannot
hear it ring unless you are near the
phone, There is no question but
that party line service is very unsat-
isfactory and the company should be
compelled to put in separate line
for every customer. Payment for
phone service is required in advance,
and yet often your 'phoneis out Of
fix for several days and you get no
rebate. Of course you are promised
that if you do not get service you
will get the proper deduction, but
we know of cases where the phone
was out of fix during the month and
the regular bill came in just the
same. We will warrant that few
deductions are paid. Our people
should refuse to pay for service
before they get it, and if the COM
pany doesn't like this, let them quit
the town.
The electric light plant commenced
running last Saturday night week
ago, and since that time the phone
service has been simply horrible, es-
pecially after the lights are turned
on in the afternoon. One can hardly
