men were thrown into considera-
BILE excitement by hail of rock s

calculated 10 arouse any doubt as
to their real meaning. His con-
duct thus far has been entirely
consistent with his recent state
ment that the Cubans are to be
given another chance. His ulti-
mate aim may be annexation,
but his actions certainly do not
indicate it.. The President could
not have done otherwise than
to intervene. The Platt amend
ment makes it obligatory on the
part o; the United States gov.
ernment to establish peace in
Cuba when requested to do so
by the Cuban government
When, therefore, President Pal
ma acknowledged his inability

appealed to this country to act,
there was nothing else for the
administration to do but to iD-
tervene.

HELP NEEDED BY THE STORM
SUFFERERS.

Other communities are raising
funds for the benefit of the suf
ferers along the coast of the Gulf
Of Mexico, from the effects of the
terrible storm which recently
swept over that section, and Ian.
caster should also contribute
something. Help is badly need
ed, actual desolation prevailing
in many localities.
Relief is being extended under
direction of the Red Cross au.
thorities, and we suggest that
those in Lancaster who are dis
posed to help the unfortunate
storm sufferers, do at once hand
their contributions to Col. Leroy
Springs, who is a vice president
of the South CAROLINA Branch of
the Red Cross Society. Col.
Springs will take pleasure in
promptly forwarding any sums,
however small or large, that may
De placed in his hands.

This incident has caused us to
do some thinking and specuia-

of the prayer meetings, and give
the names of "those present."
II not why not?
We are giving the matter seri.
Gus consideration. We do not
say positively that we will print
accounts OF the prayer meetings,
but we may do so in the near
future.
We would like to know what
the people think OF it. We would
like to hear from the ministers
of the city, and from the society
people. And if any Of our broth
er editors III the state have any
suggestions to make we would
like to hear from them. We want
to avoid making mistakes, but
we are seriously thinking of do
ing this thing"
We trust that the Mail will
make the threatened experiment,
and if it "works" all right in
Anderson we shall try il on Ian

reporter says the only objection
he sees to the proposed plan is
that it would necessitate his 60.

PRAYER MEETINGS AND THE
PRESS.

The Anderson Daily Mail, which
by the way is one of the best
edited papers in the state, is seri.
ously contemplating making a
decided innovation in Journalism.
1t is thinking of publishing
"write ups" of the prayer meet
ings held in Anderson, giving the
names of "those present." etc,

write-ups. What has put our es.

"along this line is best express

"There was social event in
this town a few weeks ago. the

which we shall not mention here.

LoNe-TERM RIGHT OPPOSED
Not over Twenty-Five-Yenr Telephone
Franchise Popular with
Council.

A marked sentiment has developed in
the council against granting a telephone
franchise for a period longer than twenty
five years. The shortest time asked by any
of the applicants at present is By Albert
Won Hoffman, who has cut the proposed
tenure from fifty to thirty years. The
others still want fifty-vear grantss
None Of the franchises should be granted
as they now stand" said Councilman
Brucker. II would not vote for any of
them believing that the life of the fran
chlse should not be more than twenty-five
years Other counollmen feel the same as
/ do about 1t, and believe the body will
hold out for a twenty-five-year franchise.
las among the three propositions It seems
to me that that offered by Won Hoffman is
the best. There is no question that the low
rates he offered forced the others to come
down. Now he is the first to reduce the
franchise period. He offers more free tele-
] phones to the city than the others.
II believe the Bell interests should con-
cede something and permit the matter to
! be solved in this way"

REALTY MEN PAY old RATES
Meet Their Water Rents on Terms De
handed by the Company.
EXCHANGES RESOLUTION NOT OBSERVED
Payment H. Being Made on Advice Of
the water Board, which Holds
Company Can shut
on supply.

Inquiry among the real estate men dis
closes the fact that the majority Of them
are paying their water rents on the scale
demanded by the Omaha Water company,
in spite Of the fact that the Real Estate
exchange passed resolutions to pay on the
figures named by the Water board. 1t is
true that almost without exception they
are paying their bills for both January
and July under protest.
The payment is being made on the ad-
vice of the Water board, which when con-
suited on the subject of the exchanges
action informed the real estate men that
in case they did not pay what the water
company asked they could not prevent the
company from shutting on the water. This
advice reached the realty men so late that
most Of them did not pay their bills In
time to take advantage of the discount
At the last meeting in December formal
resolution was made by the exchange to
pay the Water board rate, and the members
Of the exchange acted accordingly, receiv-
ing later bills for the difference between
the Water boards rate and the water COM
pany's rate. These bills for back rent ac-
companied the July bills. At the last meet
ing in June resolution was passed similar
TO the one Of December. AS the realty
men think they see a disposition Of the
water company to shut Off the water, and
as the Water board says such action can
not legally be prevented, the realty men
are paying up their rents for July ana the
back bills for January. II the supreme
court renders decision in favor Of the
Water board members of the exchange ex-
pect to get back the difference between
the rate of the board and that Of the COM
pany
