Putting The Power to the Cumberland.

Here is the ordinance adopted
by the Board of Aldermen of Vi
dalia in which they put the power
to the Cumberland Telephone Co.
in retaliation for excessive rates
the company has imposed for the
inadequate service rendered:
"Be it ordained by the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen of the
Town of Vidalia, That a rental
fee of three dollars per annum for
each pole erected along the streets
and alleys of said town, is hereby
fixed, levied and charged against
each of such companies, erecting
such poles, which shall be paid by
the lst day of February of each
year.
"Be it further ordained, ETC.,
That the failure of any such COM
pany to pay such rental or fee,
shall be n violation of this ordi-
nance; aud each days failure
shall be a separate violation; aud
upon conviction, any such COM
pany shall be fined IN u sum not
to exceed $4,000 for each viola
ton.
"Be it further ordained, etc. ;.
That this ordinance shall take eff
feet from and after Its promulga-
tion. -

Ths Need Of a Fife BsH at 81. lOscpa.

Since the raising of the old
Court House there has been no
public means of sounding alarm
in the event of fire, and under
present conditions 1t is impossible
to notify the public save by tel
ephone before the fire has done
its work.
The necessity for q fire bell is
apparent every day and it's I'M
portauce will not be properly APP
preciated until some elegant home
in ST. Joseph is burned during
the still hours of night before the
sleeping population can be aroused
Before the old Court House was
torn down it was easy to sound
the alarm by ringing the Court
House bell, but since the erection
of the present building it is no
longer possible, owing to the fact
that the town clock controls the
bell clapper, which therefore can
not be rumg except by the clock
However, II remedy for the UNI
fortunate condition Is offered in
the existence of second bell in
the clock tower and which hangs
useless. A small wire rope with
pulley attachments could be run
To this bell and allowed to hang
on the front of the building, easy
of access day or night. The cost
of the rigging would be trivial
and would prove Of inestlmablt
value in the hour of need.
This suggestion is submitted tC
the consideration of the Board OF
Aldermen and it is to be hopeo
the matter will have attention

Local Managers OF The Cumberland Ts!e.
phone Co. CdaHst Discharge Their
EMaiOyees.

III NOulu SbSul us buOuSu Tie
Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, says the Natchez
Democrat, is determined to make
each local manager throughout
the country an absolute nonentity
and to'deprive him of all powers
of discretion.
The Company has inst issued an
order which will become effective
January 1st, that no local mana
ger shall have the power or right
to discharge any employee of the
local Exchange.
This may be a good rule from
the general managers point OF
view, but it does seem to the av-
erage citizen that q manager OF
any business without the power &c
discharge will soon become more
or less a rag doll in the hands oil
the company's employees.
How Mr.. Hume or the Cumber.
land Telephone Company ever ex-
poets TO have the orders. of Il local
manager excused under those
conditions is a problem indeed
hard TO solve.
OF course the people are not
surprised ut any order that thi;
Company may issue, and even il
the Office boys were placed in pc.
sition to give orders to the local
management the public would il
all probability smile and remark
"well, that is just like the com.
pany."
The company of course has O
right to make its rules and regu.
latlons IN connection with it's OWL
business and the people have q
right TO criticize them to theil
hearts content.
The people are not effected by
this new rule, but the local man.
ager will be fgurehead sure
enough.
The local manager should not
be downcast as he has the salts.

Speech Into the VernacuIar.

A college professor, in company
with his son, was enjoying a walk in
the country. when he met an old
farmer. 1t had been very wet sea-
son, and the professor, thinking to
start the conversation in a way that
would prove interesting to the farmer,
remarked:
There has been rather abnormal
precipitation of late
The farmer seemed somewhat en-
barrassed, and the professors son,
who used different vernacular,
though he was a student in the college
to which his father was attached, at
tempted to straighten out the matter.
Drawing the farmer to one side, he
said in a superior way:
