The New Lighting Service.

Let there be light by day and
hy night, said the city council when
last summer it granted a 50-year
franchise for electric light and pow
er to W. H. NAPLES, who has been
conducting the Lynden Mill and
Light Company. The franchise pro-
rided that beginning not later than
anuary / 1913, 24-hour service
II light should be inaugnrated.
Mr.. NAPLES transferred the fran
chise and sold his light plant and
equipment 10 the Stone and Web
ster company. and on Sunday at
ternoon the new current was turn
ed on. Henceforth there will be no
Douse the glim" curfew at mid
night.
1t is the purpose of the new op-
orators of the system to re-wire
The town and otherwise improve
the service, and when connection is
made with their power plant at
Stave Lake,it is expected that Lyn-
lens lighting and power system will
lie second to none in efficiency.
The advent of a continuous cleo
trio light and power service means
much to Lynden. A number of in
dustries already established here
have anxiously awaited the COM
ing of electricity for power purpos-
es. and the passing of the more or
less Objectionable gasoline engine
will doubtless be rapid. New bust
ness enterprises will also be in
duced to locate here, as one of the
tlrst matters inquired into when "a
manufacturing concern seeks a To-
cation is whether or not adequate
power facilities can be furnished.
In the winter. of 1903 when Lyn-
den was a mere hamlet Mr.. NAPLES
conceived the idea of utilizing the
lower from Fish Trap creek for
he manufacture of electricity for
lighting purposes. The undertake
ing was attended by difficulties that
not infrequently attend pioneering
il any line, and at ore time the
obstacles appeared well nigh ill.,
surmounta BILE and Mr.. NAPLES de-
cided to discontinue the service and
close down his plant. but was pre-
vailed upon by a number of citizens
not to leave them wholly without
electric light. and service was con-
tinued until the recent transfer to
the new corporation. Although the
town has outgrown the old system
and a continuous service has be-
come a necessity, Mr.. Miller, who
has been employed as local elcetri-
clan, and who is to remain with the
new company, states that the rep
resentative of the Stone and Web
ster people declares that rarely has
he seen an electric light equipment
in a town of Lynden's size equal
to the one his company is now TAX
ing over.

Patrons Teachers Meeting.

Thirty-eight people attended the
Patrons-Teachers meeting at the
school house Tuesday night. The
keen interest shown in the work of
the new organization is gratifying to
the officers and members.
Nothing can tend more towards
the harmonious cooperation be
tween patrons and teachers than a
proper appreciation of tie relation
between the two, and this is the
object of the local organization.
Through joint associations of pa
irons and teachers, parents gain a
better understanding of the difficult
ties of teaching, teachers are bene-
fitted by .he quickened interest of
the parents, and salutary influ-
ence is exerted on the child who re-
allies that his parents have watch
full eye on his work. The broader
the vogue of these joint associa-
lions the better for both home and
school.
An entertaining and helpful pro-
gram was rendered at the Tuesday
evening meeting, which included
music, readings, papers. an informal
discussion of the merits of the boy
scout movement, and a spelling bet
in which Mrs. John Buzzard and
Mrs. Mcdaniel distinguished them
selves by remaining longest on the
floor, Mrs. McDaniels finally receiV'
ing the honors
The next meeting of the associ'
alton will be on the evening o.
January 81.

During the Christmas season a
great deal OF money is spent Tor

in the same spirit which prompts
them to exchange gifts with each

BUDGET FROM The
BORDER CITY.
A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
MUCH ENJOYED-PERSONAL
MENTION, ETC.

Lake City, July 10:-The Ladies
Aid society of the Methodist church
celebrated the Fourth with parade
and baby show. Many carriages,
buggies. automobiles. floats, carts
and BICYCLES were gaily and hand
somely decorated for the occasion.
The parade started from the Metho-
dist church lawn and thence through
the principal thoroughfares OF the
city. DR. Eaddy's automobile won
the blue ribbon for the best deco
rated car; Mr. B L Stewart for the
best carriage; Will Epps for the best
cart and Miss Annie Stokes for the
most original decorated bicycle.
The baby show was a most charm
ing picture, most of Lake City's fu-
ture citizens being very much IN ev-
idence. Each of the babies in their
respective carriages or carts was
most beautifully and picturesquely
decorated and it was a very diflcult
matter to decide which was the best.

article recently. Blease had broken
his public promise and his private
word. l expected him to be Gov
ernor of South Carolina and when
he was elected l was happy. Any
intimation by him that l wished to
usurp those functions is more than
absurd. In the presence OF many
others he asked me if | would
name a man for chief constable,
and in their presence / denounced
the whole proposition, and said that
| would hold him to his word not
to appoint any, as l knew and had
told him in writing. that they would
be grafters. They have since DEM
onstrated it. What more proof
does he need?
Talk about facing Stothart! Wit
ness after witness under oath faced
Stothart, and then finally Stothart
faced himself, and looking himself
and his own guilt, land, | believe.
Blease's mountainous guilt in the
eye, he refused to answer on the
grounds that it might incrimlnate
himself. Why didn't Blease read the
constable letter-the letter of rro-
phetic warning which wrote him,
and in which l told him that he had
broken his word, rather than switch
off on the irrelative tangent of al
legged social equality?
"Of course; his nasty threat about
the metropolitan police is in keep
ing with the rest of his character,
but it is in no way disquieting. If
it means anything it means simply
this: Up to August II, no matter
what the people of Charleston do,
the constables will stay here asgraft
agents. On August 2S, if by their
votes, the people of Charleston have
resented his dirty administration, he
will take it as a sufficient crisis in
the history of the State to justify
his resort to whatever extraordinary
power he can stretch the laws to
mean. The metropolitan police bill
has been repealed, but he refers to
some vague, obsolete power where
under a sort Of martial law mightbe
foisted upon us-a power, of course,
under our institutions necessarily
lodging in our Executive, if upon
any rare occasion city held itself
in open rebellion against State
authority.
That su ch conditions in Charles
ton could suddenly spring up over
night upon his defeat could only ap-
peal to his diseased and lawless mind
and were he even so disposed, he
would find that the Courts of South
Carolina, for which he processes
such utter contempt, would stay his
vengeful hand.
I'VE know that Charleston also
too long has bent under the fear of
usurpation, but l believe that there is

MAYOR GRACE COMES
BACK AT GOV BLEASE.
SAYS his NASTY THREATS
ARE IN KEEPING WITH
HIS CHARACTER"

ARE IN hkEfkNu "AAH
HIS CHARACTER"
The campaign meeting held al
Charleston Friday night of last week
was one of the most strikingly In
teresting to those outside of Charles
ton that has taken place since the
campaign opened. 1t was generally
supposed that Governor Blease would
have q lot of verbal bouquets to
Ind out to the voters of the City
BY the Sea-" and he did, although
there were more thistles than roses
and required the utmost complasance
on the part of the good people OF
Charleston to accept them even for
consideration. Here is one of the
bunch" he delivered:
81 will be Governor the last part
of August of this year and for the
months of September, October, No
vember, December and twenty-one
days IN January, and if you want
Injunction and metropolitan police,
vote for Jones. and for the rest of
this year and for the next two | will
do my best to give it to you"
Naturally this among many others
aroused the Mayor who in lengthy
reply, says:
of course it was anticipated by
me that Governor Blease would be
compelled at the Charleston meeting
to take notice of, and. if he could,
answer the charges which have so
publicly made against him. There
was no escape from this necessity.
The only matter over which | had
any doubts was whether or not |
should attend the meeting, and with
my own ears hear what he had to
say. My friends practically unani-
mously advised me against it. But
| determined, that come what might,
it was my duty to go to the meeting.
AAs a Democrat, | have never missed
any of these meetings, and the only
thing that could have kept me away
would have been whatever others
might have thought of it, cowardice
on my part.
Moreover. what did it matter
what Blease said? Did he not in
the very speech in which he so vio-
lently by indirection, denounced me,
also give utterance to the rankest
indecencies and anarchy? Think of
a Governor replying as to how he
stood on the beer question by shout
ing that if his questioner Tin viola
ton of the law would bring him
up to the stage a drink of beer he
would be better able to answer the
question. Of course, it was grilling
for me to have to sit and listen to
Blease's lies, The idea of his MAX
ing it appear that the beginning Of
our troubles was when he refused
to appoint a negro notary public,
whose appointment, by the way, l
had asked only as a favor to gentle
men in Charleston who were not
then, nor have ever been, my polit-
ical friends. Are Messrs Nathans
and Sinkler also negro lovers? And
do they believe in social equality?
Certainly not. 1t is almost sicken-
ing to have to answer such tommy
rot.
