Gastonia Gazette, February 4: Miss
MAY Della Barre of the graded schoo
faculty. is at Laurens, S. c., having
been called there by the illness of hel
mother She is expected to return this
week During her absence Supt. Wray
is teaching her classes. ..... Mrs. ). j
Parish has rented her house on All
Line street to Mr.. ]. w. Pucket who
moved in yesterday. Mrs. Parish Is
moving to Chester, S. c., where she
will keep a boarding house. Friday:
sleet and the rain which fell and frozt
as it struck the earth, or trees, ol
houses and poles wrought havoc will
the telegraph, telephone and electric
| light and power companies. The heavy
ice brought poles to the ground as il
they were nothing more than saplings
The Piedmont Telephone and Telegraph
| company was doubtless the heavies
sufferer from this onslaught of the ele'
ments, which General Manager Bah
ington says is the worst they have en-
countered in the history of the com
pany. Over 200 local telephones were
put out of business and wires and pole!
are down all over this section. Ever!
rural toll line of this company wa!
put out of commission. Manager Bah
ington put to work every man he coulC
secure and the work of rebuilding the
| lines is going forward just as rapid!
| as possible under the circumstances
The only long distance line in working
order is the one to Charlotte. At leas
twenty-five poles are down on line:
leading out of town. From Mac Pear
sons store on West Air Line street Il
the Gray mill every pole went down eX
cept one. This was probably due II
the fact that the line here makes
heavy curve and when one pole broke
it carried the whole half-circle Of pole:
down with it. When seen by the Ga
zette man yesterday, Manager Babing'
ton stated that he has all the men NJ
can secure and they are repairing th'
troubles as rapidly as they can, the
work being done regardless of expense
to the company. He requests that th'
public be as patient as possible under
the circumstances and says the line!
will all be in working order within
few days. He regrets the inconvenience
caused the company's patrons, o
course, and is sparing no effort to rem
edy the evils.
