Ten Cent Messages.

The Western Union Telegraph Company
charges twenty five cents for a message c.
ten words, within a state, and forty cents
for a ten word message beyond the state
line. The same message is sent in Eng
land for six cents, and in other European
Countries for not more than ten cents, and
a handsome profit is derived even at this
low figure. The explanation IS found in
the fact that a much smaller per cent OF
the population use the telegraph lines ut
the higher rate. In the United States less
than one per cent of the population use the
telegraph to transmit messages while fifty
five per cent of the per cent OF the popu-
lation of Switzerland and sixty one per
cent Of the population Of Belgium use the
telegraph lines.
The wire does not deteriate because OF
the greater number of messages; the wear
on the Instruments is scarcely appreciate;
and operators must lie employed for their
whole time; hence it costs as little to SEND
one hundred messages as to send ten.
Why then will the American people con-
tinue to fattcn this trust fed monopoly!
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1909-12-08

The profits of the Western Union, accor-
ding to a statement made by Mr.. Clark,
Vice President of that Company, ranged
between five millions and seven millions
annually from 1880 to 1000, or an average OF
six millions annually on a capitalization, OF
three millions in 1868.
No particular objection raised to the
amount of profit even though it reach 200
per cent, but when the profit can be in
great measure sustained and business fac
ilitated by a more general use of the tele-
graph, why not take steps to bring about
this end.
Congress should place this matter in the
hands of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, with power to inaugurate a grad
ual reduction to say one cent a word.
The Rail Road Commission Of this state
should be empowered by the Legislature to
fix rates on all intra state messages. There
can be no question Of the authority OF the
State to deal with agents and lines within
it's borders, especially when the sending
and receiving points are both within the
state. There car be no interference with
interstate commerce in the matter of intra-
state messages.
While these are random suggestions, we
believe they are worthy of consider alton
by our State Legislature.

If press comments are to be believed
the United States would be justified in WHIP
ing Nicarauga off the map. 1t seems
that Zelaya, even against the protest OF
his W ministers, shot to death Leroy
Cannon and Leonard Groce, both Of whom
bore commissions as colonies in the revo-
~lutionary army. They had been guilty Of
no act other than such as is permissible in
civilized warfare, and it seems that the
only question for this government to de-
termine is whether or not the revolution
had assumed such magnitude as to raise
it above the level of mere treason, in which
case soldiers of the revolutionary army
should have been treated merely as priso-
ners Of war.
The fact is the revolutionary army now
has enrolled more than 1000 men, and in a
small country like Nicaragua, this must
represent more than fifty per cent of her
male inhabitants of fighting age.
Groce is said to have had an estate in
Nicaragua valued at S250.000, while Can
non had an estate of $50. ZOO, which was
confiscated three years ago.
Men who have lived in these South Amer
lean republics and who have owned large
estates, say that it is dangerous to leave
the country. That their estates would be
contiscated and it is dangerous to return
with a view to retaining them.
We are too ignorant Of international law
to say what were Nicaraugua's rights re-
lative to Cannon and Groce; we hope that
the United States Government, because OF
it's greater strength, will stay strictly
within the rules of international law; but
if the law of nations has been violated
there could be no better time to make
these republics sit up and take notice.
If the United States Government should
withdraw it's strong arm, every foot OF
Central and South American soil would be
gobblcd up by European powers within
five years. They owe their very existence
to the Monroe Doctrine. The citizen OF
the United States is then entitled to some
thing more than savage treatment at their
hands. Have they received it in the case
| of Cannon and Grocc?
Justice and equity should characterize
our investigation, and the letter OF the law
should be observed however rigorous.

WIFE PLEADS FOR
 HER BRUTAL HUSBAND

DOUGLAS, Oct. 5.- Special. )-
 The plea of the wife whom he had beaten saved W. H. Williams from a long term in the county jail even fl not trip to the pen today. Williams is a short, nattily dressed negro, dark of color and his wife is of much light CT complexion, tall for a woman, sien- der and was also well dressed and well appearing.
 Williams was charged with having returned to his home about midnight last night and beaten his wife. She complained. he was arrested. aud this morning she appeared and begged ciemency for her offending spouse. The result was that Judge Rice deliy- cred a little lecture on martial life. showed the prisoner. who failed to find any excuse for his conduct, how much better his wife was than he and after a severe reprimand let him on with a S10 fine. This Williams paid and started for the door but was over taken by his wife before he reached the door, She put her hand within his arm and looked lovingly at him and as they went down stairs together tears were evident in the eyes of th' thoroughly shamed husband.

Probably the oldest dated decoration In the world has recently been brought to light by the discovery of the itinerary temple of King Sahura, who lived 2.5O0 B. c. It lies between the pyramids of Giseh and saggarah, and has been unearthed by Dr. Bor. "harts, director of the German Insti. ute of Archaeology at Cairo. Sculp- tured bas reliefs illustrate Pharaoh conversing with the gods, conquering the Lybians and receiving an eIabas- sy. Besides this there are hunting and fishing scenes, and most interesting of all. fleet of ships of the period London Globe.
