Telephone Service.

Recently there has been consider
able complaint as to the telephone
service in Bamberg, and at the meet
ing of the business league last Friday
afternoon the matter was discussed,
and the proper committee will look
after the matter and see If the ser
vice cannot be improved. 1t is like
ly that the manager will be called on
to meet with the committee or the
league in order to see if something
cannot be done to remedy conditions.
We understand that the poor service
is caused because the system is not
in proper condition, the lady opera
tors being as accommodating as pos
sible.
In this connection, it has been sug-
gested that it would be a good idea
if the company would place a booth
in the waiting room at the passenger
station for long distance calls, and
we trust this will be done at once.
It would not only be great convent
ence to the public, but would make
money for the company.

Reptiles Stomach.

A dispatch from Forsyth, Ca, says

chain in the stomach of large alli-
gator that died in a pond near there
Monday night is believed to solve the
mystery of the disappearance of 12-..
year-old Janet Thompson from the
home of her parents at Island Grove
Fla, two years ago. The alligator.
was captured near Island Grove
some weeks after the girl disappear
ed and was brought to Forsyth by J.

been heard from since she disappear
ed. When last seen she was stand
ing on the banks of the lake near
where Jackson captured the alligator,

Jackson and others that while the
girl was playing on the bank OF the:
lake the alligator came upon the:
bank and devoured her. The parents
of the girl have been notified and the

Get No Extra Pay.

Washington, July 31.-Though all
of to-day in the house was supposed
to be devoted to Republican speeches
against the Underwood cotton tariff
revision bill, about half the time was
taken up by Democrats for pension
legislation and an Intellectual attempt
to secure the passage of. the senate
amendment to the deficiency appro-
priation bill providing for an extra
months pay for employees of con-
gress. Abandoning a practice Of 80
years standing, the house voted down
the amendment, 1S1 to 25.
Representative Austin (Tenn.,)
Utter (Rhode Island) and Green
(Mass.) denounced the Underwood
bill, saying that If passed it would
utterly destroy the cotton manufac-
turing industry in the United States.
They urged. that there be no tariff
legislation without a report from the
tariff board.

EDITOR TAKES 1T BACK.
Glad to Escape Consequences for At
tack on Georgia Judge.

Dalton, Ca, July 29.-Judge A.
w. Fite, of this place, annoyed by an
editorial in the Dalton Citizen, which
he took to reflect on his official and
personal position, brought about the
arrest yesterday of Editor T. S.
Shope, of the Citizen, on charge OF
contempt Of court. Mr.. Shope sent
letter to the Judge assuring him
that no offence was meant, but the
latter refused to accept the explana-
ton. Instead, he prepared a state
ment, couched in legal terms, and
presented it TO the editor to- sign.
The latter did 80 when assured that
no other course would prevent some
thing worse than the imposition OF
a fine.
It appears from the editorial,
which was written in humorous
vein, that Editor Shope thinks Judge
Fite has held Office long enough. He
also objects to some of the charges
and statements the judge has made
from the bench.
One of the conditions that Judge
Fite imposed was that the signed
statement be published in the same
position as was occupied by the edi-
torial. Mr.. Shope promised.

Big Fertilizer Plant.

Spartanburg, July 31.-Like magic
there has sprung up within the last
three months on a hill above Fair
forest creek, near Arkwright, huge
industrial plant which will mean
much to this city. 1t is the new fer
tilizer factory of the international
Agricultural corporation. It is ex-
pected that the factory will begin
work next week.
Without attracting any particular
attention in the city, scores of me-
chanics and laborers have been busy
since the latter part of March laying
a siding, building roads, erecting the
mill and other buildings, putting up
a water tower and an acid tank, dig
ging reservoir, installing pumps,
machinery and engines. For a good
part of the time there have been zoo
men employed on the work. Last
week there were 140 men at work.
With the exception OF the electrical
wiring, the entire job is being handl-
ed by Hugger Brothers, contracting
firm of Montgomery, Ala.
The mechanics and artisans en-
ployed are from many places in the
South. J. B. Hunt, the chief mill
wright, who has charge of installing
the machinery, said to-day that if it
had not been for the rock encounter
ed in excavation which delayed the
work, the plant would have been in
operation a week or so ago. About
the same time the Spartanburg plant
was started Hugger Brothers began
work on another of equal size at Au-
gusta for the same corporation. The
fertilizer factory is connected with
the Charleston & Western Carolina
railway by long siding.

Dead Child Found.

Brookland, July 29.-A perfectly
formed white male, infant was found
yesterday morning by the side of the
Seaboard Air Line railroad near the
five-mile post on Albert R. Taylor's
plantation by tenants living on his
place.
Magistrate Buff and Coroner Clark
was notified, and they, accompanied
by DR.: F. R. Geiger, went to the
scene. The child, which had been
wrapped in a State newspaper dated
July "a and New York American of
July %, was found with broken
jawbone and neck, evidently done by
the fall, either from a passing train
or from the railroad track, presum-
ably from the former.
DR.. Geiger says the child was pre-
maturely born, but from the indica-
tions was living when thrown away.
It was deemed useless to hold an in
quest and the child was buried.
''This is a horrible deed" said
Magistrate Buff, "and needs a thor
ough investigation, and no effort will
be spared to bring the guilty party
to justice"
This may prove a difficult task,
however, for, from all indications,
the child was thrown from a train
which passed over the road the night
previous.

Tigers to be Raided.

Charleston, July 31.-Capt. N. A.
Miller of the police force Of the Char
lesion navy yard received to-day his
commission as a deputy sheriff frop"
Sheriff Martin and raids on the blind
tigers in the vicinity of the govern
ment plant may be now expected at
any time. Capt. Miller did not 60
after the tigers to-day but he was
making his plans. By frequent seiz-
ure of the contraband goods and con-
stant harassing of the dealers, they
will be forced to move so far from
the navy yard as to cease to prove
of any annoyance and perhaps be
closed entirely. Under the act OF
the legislature, providing for this
special deputy, he is authorized to
call for all assistance that he may de-
sire and he is expected to give pref
ty soon a practical demonstration OF
up-to-date methods of meeting the
blind tiger situation about the navy
yard. It has been rumored that there
are blind tigers within the yard, en-
listed men selling wood alcohol,
stolen from the stores of the vessels,
diluted with water. Capt. Miller will
keep his eyes over the whole terri
tory, catching and suppressing the
blind tigers wherever he may find
them.
