The Herald's New rlachinery.

Our linotype is in and set up but
we have been busy making the many
adjustments on it and trying to
do job work, so we havenot been able
to set much type on it for this issue.
The motors for our job presses have
arrived, and we will now be able to
turn out job work promptly and not
disappoint our customers as we have
been doing recently. One great dis
advantage we are laboring under
just now is the lack of day electric
current. Our linotype is operated by
electricity as we'll as our job presses,
and we can get current only atnight.
We hope to have a day current be-
fore very long, and then we will be
in much better shape. The linotype
is a wonderful piece of machinery.
Come in some night and see it at
work.

Applied for Bail.

J.F. Carter, Esq, went to Barn
we'll last week and made a motion be-
fore Judge Robert Aldrich for bail
for Willie Williams, the negro who
shot and killed Norman Williams, an
other negro, on Mr.. G. E. Hutto's
plantation near town about two
weeks ago. Williams is now in Jail.
but bond will no doubt be granted as
soon as Judge Aldrich returns home.
1t seems from the circumstances
that the killing was clearly an acci-
dent. A crowd ofnegroes were down
at a branch and these two boys, each
being about seventeen years old, had
pistols and begun to shoot in order
to frighten some girls who were in
the party. The dead negro fired his
pistol few times and then Willie
Williams wanted to shoot some. His
pistol, acheap affair, would not shoot,
and while working with it, the dis
charge took place, the bullet striking
Norman Williams and killing him.
The coroner's jury were Of the
opinion that it was an accident. Al
though they did not bring in ver-
dict to this effect, members of the
jury have made affidavit that they
considered it an accident from the
testimony taken. The dead boys
mother says she thinks it was an ac-
cident.

A Fine Service.

There was fine service at the
Methodist church in this city last
Sunday morning. Rev. T. G. Her
bert preached a magnificent sermon
from the text: He came unto His
own and His own received Him not, +"
and at the close he invited all pro-
Tossing Christians who wanted to live
nearer. to the Lord to come to the al
tar for prayer
Numbers came, and the chancel
was crowded, so that others knelt in
the aisles and at their seats. He
then asked those who were not
Christians but who wanted to be
saved to meel for prayer and sever
al knelt.
After the congregation was dis
missed numbers remained for an af-
ter service for those who were inter
ested.
! 1t was a most affecting service,
and at no time have we ever seen so
many people in Bamberg on their
knees expressing a desire to live a
better life. Truly it looks as if we
were on the eve of a great religious
revival in Bamberg.
Mr.. Herbert is essentially an evan
gelical preacher. All his sermons are
delivered with the idea Of saving
souls, and he stresses the love of
Christ for mankind. His sermon
Sunday was a great effort. While
his only daughter lay critically ill in
Sumter, his heart was full of the de-
sire to see men and women brought
nearer to God, and it exemplifed his
great love for his fellow-man.

Telephone
Troubles

companies and tisiO s:.lss Are Not
thc Only Ones Responsible For Zine
Busy"
In connection with complaints made
against the Wisconsin Telephone comy
pany at Milwaukee some Interesting
data have been coliated by w. +. Bur
CESS based on elaborate tests. His
opinion IS that the troubles arose
chiefly from party lines and the abb
sence Of correct methods on the part
OF the users. He suggested as a rem
edy that a time limit be placed upon
the conversations over such phones.
While he was assisting in an inyesti-
CATION Of the Chicago company last
year he said that q case was brought
before the hearing where a teacher OF
Language gave half hour lessons over
the phone to her pupils. The teIe-
phone was Of the four party line yari-
ETY..
zone of the chief troubles in the
Milwaukee telephone situation is that
office men. hire out desk room In their
offices, with use Of the telephone.
This is common in liilYaukee, and the
result is that there are three or four
business mensinlone ONCE who use the
same telephone. The outgoing calls in
such q case are numerous, and a per
son trying to get connections on such
a line will find it always busy. People
who do not understand the situation
blame the operator aud claim that she
wfllfully gives them the busy signal.
They then begin 70 complain and cay
that the OPERATOR Ia ovcrworked ana
that she hes too many telephones to
care for. The truth Of the matter is
that the operator has an easier time
Of 1t when She can let The party than
she does when giving the busy signal.
First she Is required to test the line.
and when she is Informed by a click
that the line is in use she has to plug
In another jack. thus doubling the
usual operations Is 1t reasonable to
expect that an operator will do more
than is absolutely necessary? The
telephone which is so much used should
have a double track system-that is. a
line for incoming calls aud another for
outgoing calls."t-Electrlcal World.

BETTING ON CITY LIGHTS.

Grand Haven People Mover Know
What to Expect From tho City
Lighting Rlant.
The citizens and taxpayers of Grand
Haven have for a number Of years
been dissatisfied with their street and
commercial lighting system as CON
Quoted by the municipality. The sys-
tenn has been miscQnducted and mis-
directed and has been s'politlcked" to
death. In fact, there is very little left
of the many thousands that the tax
paying public of Grand Haven has
poured into the nitinicinai plant.
For two years now our street lights
have been comparable to redhot irons
stuck up in the air. With the exccp-
ton Of the downtown circuit, which
has been fairly well maintained, the
incnndescent lighting system has, too,
been very bad. In Come parts OF the
town 1t has come to such a pass that
people have gambled on whether or
not they would have lights at n certain
hour or a certain night.
At the plant things have been going
to smash right along. First one ma
chine would burn out or be wrecked
and then another. The taxpaying pub
lie has been contributing regularly to
repairs and rebuilds, and 1t has been
like dumping refuse into a quicksand
pit. Hundreds Of the taxpayers good
dollars have gone. into unnecessary
damage costs in our misdirected and
misguided. electric light plant, and to-
day all we have is practically nothing
more than an expensive junk heap

L.o.t 100000 In Eourteen Yearp.

The municipal electric light plant in
Vancouver, Wash, was Installed about
October, 1888. The total cost up to
the date Of sale was approximately
$4,000. although an inventory of the
plant never showed a value in excess
Of $4,000. The difference was prob
ably<due to charging expenses to plant
account, or there may have been GER
tain amounts of money charged to the
plant for which the plant showed no
investment. The plant was disposed
Of at public sale June, 1902. the sale
price being $1,000. The reason for
the sale was that the plant was losing
money. and the terms of the franchise
granted with the sale limited the price
of current to figures below those under
which the municipal plant could de
liver current probably.

A ssne Statement.

Frank j. Heney, the vel! known
prosecutor Of San Francisco grafters
and public land frauds, said recently:
In my opinion every public utilities
corporation should be a monopoly. 1
would start that way. Then l would
plainly set forth in the charter or fran
chise Of each public utilities corpora
ton all Of its rights and privileges, It's
limitations and its duties. That would
take 1t out OF politics. If you do not
give your gas company n monopoly
and let a rival dig up the streets and
lay pipes, you invite them both to bid
Tor privileges, and at the same time
you invite the municipal government
to threaten with a loss OF privileges.
No corporation wants TO be in politics
for the sake Of playing politics."
