BELL COMPANY HAS FINISHED
new SYSTEM IN AMERICUS
COmpany'S Lines all ERCaSGd in Cables
Now Thus Improving Local Service
Work Of Five Months Now Finish
ed Throughout.

The Americus system of the Bell
Telephone Co. mas Just been rendered
wellnigh complete through five
months of assidious work and expen-
diture of large sums, to the end if af-
fording Americus patrons and the gen
eral public the best service since the
system was established here nearly 30
years ago.
From thirty phones used by Amer
Gus then, the number has since gone
above the thousand mark.
And with rapidly increasing bust
ness it has ever been the desire of
the Bell Company to render its pa
irons the best service that new equip
ment and efficient help could afford
Five months ago the Bell Company
decided to enclose all of its service
wires in leaden cables, thus assuring
perfected service. This estimate has
just been completed and upon prac-
tically every street in Americus the
wires have thus been disposed of and
the service improved.
A small working army has thus been
busily engaged here since last De-
cember, but the vastly improved SER
vice justified the cost.
The encased wire eliminates all
trouble in telephone communication,
and insures protection against injury
from storms or other cause. The tall
poles are also eliminated, and the
shorter pole, half the height of the
old ones, presents better appearance
in the streets, and are safer besides.
This stupendous task was fully COM
pleted yesterday, and the Bell Com
pany thus assures to its Americus pa
irons more. efficient and satisfactory
local service.
Many miles of heavy and durable
cable has thus been put in in Amer
icus thus spring.
Telephone development in this sec
ton of South Georgia is rapidly being
extended, the sole aim of the company
being to afford the very best service,
regardless of the cost entailed. The
extension of phone lines to farm
houses throughout the several coun-
ties here is also an important work
Once in a home, telephone is
never allowed removed by the sub
scribed, who fully appreciates its
value.
Manager Tullis and his efficient
ccrps of operators and assistants are
giving Americus an excellent service,
and this, even, will be more sat:sfac-
tory undor tho improved conditions.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 5.-The first
public court action in the cases of
John J. Mcnamara and James B. Nc
Namara, charged with dynamiting the
Times building, was scheduled for to-

That action was their arraignment,

spirators, James B. and John ]. Nc

Nineteen of the indictments, it is
understood, are against the Nc. a.
maras alone, and charge them with
murder in connection with the blowing
up of the Los Angeles Times newspa-
per plant, and the consequent deaths
of q men. The other two are said u
be against McManigal, as principal
and the Mcnamara brothers as accom-
pIices in the Llewellyn Iron Works
explosion, in which no one was kill
ed
McManigal was the principal wit
ness heard by the grand jury He
was examined for more than twc
hours. Immediately afterward the
grand jury adjourned

nesses besides McManigal Among
them were employees and officials ot

THIS WIFE BEATER GETS

George Stevens, a chicken picker
employed in Solomon, was arrested
on a charge of assault and battery
sworn out by his wife and sentenced
to 80 days in the county jail, by JUS

II the story of the wife is true,
and there is no reason for doubling
it, 80 days in jail is altogether too

might even think that it is too bad
Kansas has done away with the
whipping post.
Stevens, with a few companions
has been in the habit Of having "keg

and often before has abused his
wife. Yesterday, after one Of these

Several teeth were knocked not and
her face badly bruised. Her hand

WE MAY HAVE SPUDS
THIS WINTER AFTER ALL.

The potato famine is broken. Job
bling houses all over Kansas and the
other middle west states have all the
potatoes they can use and the stores
are all heavily stocked Jobbing
houses are offering Kaw Valley po-
tatoes for so cents a>bushel by the
car load and fancy Wisconsin and
Minnesota potatoes are bringing only
10 cents. The Colorado crop which
is Just coming on the market is
showing the Kaw valley potatoes off
and these potatoes will sen for so
cents a bushel in a few weeks.
Sometimes, of course. unexpected
incidents arrive and offset forecasts
but it is safe to say that the predict
ions made during the drouth that po-
tatoes could not be had for love or
money will prove to have been
wrong.
Local potatoes which remained the

started In to growing again with the
first rains and now good sized pota-
toes are being dug out Of these
patches The local crop. however,
will be nothing to what It would
have been had there been no drOuth.

BRYAN COTTON MARKET.
EXIT THE FREE NEWSPAPERS.

A curious experiment in newspaper
making has just passed into history
in Oklahoma with the suspension of
the Oklahoma City Pointer. The
Pointer was free newspaper. 1t was
delivered every afternoon at the door
of any Oklahoma Citian who asked for
it, and newsboys distributed it gratis
on street corners and even on the troll
ley cars. All its revenue came from
its advertisers.
The Pointer was started three years
ago and was originally four-page
paper AS newspapers go in Oklahoma,
it was of considerable merit and be-
fore long many of the folks of its home
town began to read it and it acquired
respectable advertising patronage.
It's difficulties began when its circula-
ton crossed the 10000 mark and 1t
went to eight pages. After that the
cost of white paper made it necessary
to raise the advertising charges above
those of the other papers of the town,
which were helped out by their reve-
nues from circulation, and many adj
vertisers began to drop out. Mean
while the circulation of the Pointer
rose to $4,000 and then to 10000. Sue
cess brought ruin. The hackers of the
eXneriment went broke
The Pointer was not the first of
free papers Half dozen years ago
Detroit saw one, the Today. 1t swal-
lowed up a fortune in a few months.
When the Pointer was flourishing, a
year or so ago, free daily in imita-
ton of it was set up in Chickasha,
Okla, but it, too. has now ceased to
exist. In Baltimore free weekly, de-
voted to neighborhood news, started
a year or two ago, but 1t lately sus-
pended, and when it resumes publica.
ton it will cost a cent, though sample
copies will still be distributed free.
ITO distribute newspapers free"
says the Baltimore Evening Sun, cor
substantially free, would involve an
unreasonable increase in advertising
rates, and in addition it would de-
crease the return the advertiser now
gets for his money, for human beings
are additionally prone to put no value
on the thing they get for nothing, and
it is their respect for the paper they
read-their confidence in it's value.
that makes it worth while to appeal
to them through it. An inch of space
in newspaper which possesses the
confidence and respect of thousands
is worth page in newspaper they
view with Indifference or contempt"
1t is an open secret that the Pointer
worked great harm to the legitimate
newspapers of Oklahoma City. and
that in turn worked harm to the city.
newspaper is a citys barometer; it
indicates whether conditions are fair
or foul. To build it up is to build up
the city, assuming it to be decent, and
to cripple it is to impede community
progress. Oklahoma City has suffered
in prestige, largely through the havoc
wrought by that free paper.-Waco
