he was now compelled to have six Tor to quote. him: Tt Ia an outrage, this competitive telephone business, and the Bell Telephone company should be forced to buy up the inde- pendents and have but one company opcrating."
 This Is one of the inconveniences |0f two telephone systems. Another, and perhaps a less important one, is that of having to find place for two instruments. The average busi- ness man can find room to have one telephone within easy reach, but 1t is a grave question as to whether the same can be said where there are two.
 However, from the point of view of service, the all important point against dual telephone service, is lthat the number of subscribers avail able by any one system is cut down appreciably according as the public Is divided and the value of the ser- vice is decreased in accordance with this.
 The other feature featured by the independent promoter is the reduce |tion in rates. At the outset the rates |of independent companies are gener- Ially much lower than those of other |companies. In general the Bell com |pany retains its rates especially as far as business rates go Gas ,investi- gation into cities where independent telephone companies are operating will show) and the subscriber pays his old rate plus the new one to get the full service and it gets the in conveniences that have been men, tioned. In addition to this it may be stated that where the honest inde- pendent company comes in under ab- normally low rates in few years these are inevitably advanced thus still further increasing the cost of the telephone service.
 Speaking before the Interstate In- dependent Telephone association held in Chicago, Dr Herr of Ottumwa, Ia. in his paper on "A Sliding Scale of
 Rates" said:
 Because of the fact that none of the independent companies were aware when they began business that to maintain telephone system it
 would cost more per telephone to care for 800 than for lesser num- Der, they soon found themselves pay ing out more money for maintenance and operating than they were receiv- ling. A large number of telephone ex- changes that in the beginning, when their subscribers were few in number,
 gave excellent service, are now giv- ing very poor service because expen-
 ditures consume all receipts and there is nothing left for repairs or mainte-
 nance. And unless financial relief
 comes by means of advanced receipts
 very short time will put them out of business
 This is the question of rates f,nm the viewpoint of the independent
 man and explains it as clearly as can
 be done. Then also arises the aues-
 tion of monopoly and it may be as
 fairly asked if the gradual consoli- dation of the Independent compani ,s
 in the west into one large body is not monopolistic in it's attitude. And still the independent man is consid- cred an enemy of so-called monopo- lies.s

 ing. She was young woman. only
 21 years of age, and her many graces

 Florence. The funeral will take place

TO EQUIP A WARD.
Members of St Thomas Parish Will
 Do Something for Hospital.

During the last mass at St Thomas yesterday the pastor Rev Father Crowley stated that it would be a nice thing for the parishioners to raise fund to equip a ward in the new hospital. The cost would not be very great. something about $500 or $400, he said, which in view of the past liberality of the parishioners, he thought, 1t would not be a very dihicult matter to raise. He remind ed the people that the parish of the Immaculate Conception built St Thomas for them and paid one half the expense of building the church. and reciprocity now would be a good thing to show. The suggestion seemed to have met with considerab ble favor throughout the parish and dur ing the week committees will be formed to go among the parishioners with subscription list.

]. U. King Of this town, made an able
response. We take the following from
the Eueraing Capital
Response was made by Rev. j. U. King
of Middletown, Del. Rev. King is one Of
the best educated members of the Grand
Lodge and is graduate Of Yale Uniyer-
sity. In the course Of his remarks be
said !:
We are exceedingly glad TO receive
such cordial welcome to this historic
city especially when it comes from him
who officially represents this municipal
ity. While we do not claim to be what
and where we could be as race, vet we
are on our way upward We have
scarcely dampened the soIes of our shoes
in the great stream Of prosperity. That
I il so not because we are iintelIectually
incapacitated for the record made bv
negroes in the great colleges OF the land
bespeaks the fertility Of our minds and
precludes any doubt Us to our ability.
Il is simply question of opportunity
and time.
And even Though we now stand at
the foot Of the bill, and ig spite Of its
rugged sides and steep ascent, we are
FsH Il : q
climbing, cognizant Of d9r ability to
reach, especially 30 when encouraged by
white friends, such o. the Mayor Of this

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA

State prohibition was assured for
Georgia when the Senate, by vote OF
"a to Z, passed the Hartman, Coyington
bill, which forbids the manufacture or
sale Of intoxicating liquors after January
lst, 1908. The bill now goes to the
House, which is overwhelmingly for pro-
hibition. Governor Hoke Smith has an
nounced that be will sign the bill
The liquor men gave up the fight after
the action of the Senate, many Of them
expressing surprise at the strength Of The
vote. The bill affects only fifteen coun-
ties in the state, l30 counties already be-
ing dry. II will close up several large
distilleries and breweries at Atlanta,
Macon, Augusta, Columbus and Saran-
nah. The revenue from liquor in Georgia
ia about 81 100000 annually. The resi-
dents oil that state claim that the money
is procured at an enormous cost and that
health, morals and prosperity will be
greater because Of its elimination.
