Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1906-11-14

The Index prints this week a signed
article from Rev. w. II. Moore of this
city and Rev. c. A. Kitch Of kiowa,
concerning the recent grand jury. This
paper believes in the enforcement Of law,
but we do not think that the end can be
accomplished any quicker with a grand
jury than without it. Laws will be vio-
lated so long as people vote In favor Of
law violation. We happen to know ol
some people right here in this town who
voted for Gov. Hoch on an open non
enforcement plrtform. They voted with
the joint keepers Of Leayenworth and
Atchison who saved the day for Hoch
and they are in poor shape to talk law.
enforcement. On the other hand, we
appreciate the fact that there are many
who did not vote with their party on this
question and to those our congratulation.
are extended. But the cold fae remain.
that laws cannot be enforced so long as
public officers opposed to enforcement
are in power, grand jury or no grano
jury. These are the views of this paper
but we are not hide-bound and our col
umns are cheerfully gwen to those VIII
support the other view.

Valley township seemed to have it in
for the High School almost as badly as it
did for the democrats. The republican
and anti-school vote is partially explained
from the fact that they imported votes
from Ohio.

TENNESSEE FEUD
 AGAIN BREAKS OUT
TWO ARE SHOT, FOUR BADLY CUT IN MOUNTAIN WILDS AND OFFICERS HAVE GONE TO THE SCENE.

Woodbury Tenn. February 25-The Johnson nMotley feud in this (Cannon) county broke out afresh last night, and as a result the following are fatally wounded:
 Sam Blair. shot four times in stomach.
 Bob Motley, shot twice in groin.
 Richard Johnson, throat cut
 The trouble between the Motleys and the Johnsons. two large families of the Pea Ridge neighborhood, near the De- Kalb county line. originated ten years ago over the operation of an illicit dis tillery, when blood was shed and has broken out intermittently since. Last nights renewal came at a young peo- ple's candy pulling. where, 1t is said. some liquor had been drunk. Both Mot ley and Blair were shot by Johnson. but who cut the latter's throat is m. known.

training school, it not having been in existence a sufficient length of time to furnish operators for all the exchanges. Since the school was established, how ever, only graduates of the school have been employed as operators. In the course of time every operator in the entire ter ritory of the Southern Bell company will be a graduate of a Southern Bell train ing school. and the system of operating will be absolutely uniform.
 School Training Tells.
 The results obtained from the school. up to this time have been satisfactory in every way. The graduates give good services, please subscribers and under stand their work both in theory and in practice. So excellent is the training, and so lasting it's effects, that Miss Mur- ray declares she can very often tell, when calling for a number over the tele- phone, whether or not the operator is graduate of the training school.
 The problem of securing and retain ing the services of good operators Is an important one with every telephone com pany and the training school has done more than any other one thing to solve this problem, and to give the public a service that is instant and absolutely ac- curate.
 Telephone subscribers in the south, who have always been accustomed to having their telephone connections made by girls may be surprised to know that the first telephone operators were boys. It was in the early days of the telephone that boys acted as operators and they were quickly placed in the background when 1t was learned that girls are infinitely better equipped for the work. The feminine voice is of a finer key and can give a more pleasing infection. Then, too, girls possess a na- tural desire to please, innate politeness, and a remarkable deftness of hand.
 It was in this way that such profit able and desirable field was opened up to young women, and the training school is equippng them so thoroughly that they render satisfactory service as soon as they are given a place at the switch board. These results are so desirable, both to the company and to the sub scriber, that it is well worth while to pay girls to go to school and secure proper training.

ters of the south. Following the usual custom, therefore, 1t is expected that sponsors and maids of honor will be ap- pointed by department division and brig ade commanders, and sponsors by camps. The reunion committee will supply free hctel accommodation for only one spon- sor in chief, with two maids of honor. and one chaperone; three department sponsors and one maid of honor for each. and one sponsor and one maid for each division. Brigade and camp sponsors and maids of honor well as maids of honor and chaperones, in addition to those indicated above, must be looked after by their friends.
 At the request of it's president, Mrs. W. J Behan of New Orleans. the com mander-in-chief takes pleasure in an- nouncing that the Southern Memorial as- sociation will hold it's seventh annual convention at New Orleans on the same date as fixed for the reunion. The open ing feature of the convention will be the usual Jefferson Davis memorial service.
 Camp Beauregard No. 130, U. c. V. New Orleans, in connection with the Confederate veterans and committees of citizens is making extensive preparations for the reunion, and no effort or pains will be spared to make the occasion the most successful in the history of our confederation, as well as Tn the history of New Orleans.
 'fThe commander-in-chief desires to make this reunion the most successful in our history. It is planned to have pres ent all of the past commanders-in-ch of the confederation. Besides many mat ters of grave import are to come before the convention.
 Let all camps be revived and delegates elected. Let every community where no camp exists speedily organize and apply for a charter"

a vast portion of mistakes are caused by the subscriber and the work of the operator is doubled by the lack of uni formity in the method observed by sub scribers in calling for numbers. The ap- parently unimportant detail of giving the name of the exchange before the num- Der desired results in loss of time. Sub seribers are asked and are expected to say Birmingham 800 or Bessemer zoo, as the case may be, instead of 300 Birming- ham, or 800 Bessemer When they give the number differently the operator loses time in waiting to hear the name of the exchange through which the call is to be made The efforts of the school are di- rected toward correcting these small CT TOTS, and In making the system of op- erating so uniform that operators will be as free from mistakes as 1t is possible for humans to be-"
 System Becoming Uniform.
 What benefit does the telephone com pany derive from such an expensive in- stiution? is a question that naturally arises. The results obtained in securing a uniform method and thereby quicken ing the service and overcoming the pos sibilty of errors more than compensates for the time and money expended

 the strongest possible manner the eff forts that telephone companies make to give a perfect service. It would show that ignorant and inexperienced girls are not placed upon the wires, and that 1t is the constant efforts of the officials to secure, by paying girls while they are In the training school, the very high est class of labor.
 The demand for experienced girls is so great that every effort is made to keep the training school up to It's full capacity. From the Atlanta training school operators are supplied all the Atlanta exchanges, and in addition many are sent to such towns as Jacksonville Fla; Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala. and a number of smaller exchanges Since last August more than 100 girls have graduated from the training school and each of them is occupying an inn portant position at a switchboard in some Southern Bell exchange.
 In the Atlanta exchanges not all of the operators are graduates of the
