people this year were enabled to re
ceive the returns of the election as
soon az they were in throughout
the various parts Of the state. The
company spared no expense to make

curate. At the same time they al
lowed no private business to interfere
with getting these bulletins to the
public with the least posi- BILE delay.
Thousands Of miles Of toll lines were
held for the exclusive purpose Of
handling these messages. At twenty
minutes Of six O'Clock. by our time
which WAS just two hours and forty
minutes after the polls were closed in
New York, the general results of tho
election there were known In Flor
ence. The news was relayed from
New York to Chicago, and from
Chicago to Denver, and from Denver
to all the smaller exchanges in the
state.
Our local exchange employees did
themselves proud The faster the
bulletins came, the better they liked
1t. No bulletin WAS allowed to stay
In the office over two minutes; mes

nd messages were telephoned to
various parts of the county. They
also had bulletins on the street at
least ffty.fye minutes before the

HI hENRY'S MINSTRELS
SATURDAY NIGHT

The show in the Houston opera
house last Saturday night WAS really
the best show that has been in Flor.
ence this season 1t Is difficult 10
speak Of any one particular feature
as outshadowing the others for the
reason that each member of Hi
Henry's minstrel troupe, is an
artist. The performance Of the end
man Pat Crawford, "the man from
Dixie" however, was without doubt
the one above all others that struck
the popular chord and also the
acting and singing Of Mr.. Westerman n
in the Indian fnntasie, Little
Napanee" WAS superb and we'll
worth tho entire price of admission.
Pat Crawford's jokes on local people
were 40 apt and to the point that
1t made a hit with the audience.
The only thing that mArred the
evening was misunde rstsndipg near
the close Of the perfor nance when
several people who were seated near
the doors thinking the show WAS over,
started to leave, which caused the
entire audience to go and thereby
they missed the ''Lobsterscope"
which Is said to be really one of the
best features of the entire program.
