the unfortunate fellow who cannot
of his own force and within his own
personality, rise to che strength Of
manhood to be acceptable to mem

Unionism acts as an attorney. the
defender of the laboring people and
argues their case before a jury COM

dcnce telephones with a rate Of $500
have long distance connection. Others
have not.
AS grounds for its petition, the tele-
phone company cited rates Of several
cities in the approximate class with
Laurens where rates are as high or
higher, as follows: Abbevillc and
Greenwood pay $3.50 for business
phones and $500 for residence phones;
Darlington, Florence, Orangeburg, I'm

ring off to be disc ..>octcd.
The counter-petit.y IN offered OH be-
half Of certain patrons by Mr. Gray
asked the commission to refuse the
request of the telephone company on
TIE grounds that the rates now in
force are not too low and that they
compare favorably with the rates OF
other towns having similar service.
The rates for telephone service in the
town Of Clinton was the only one quot
ed by Mr.. Gray, Clinton rates being
$3.50 per month for business phones
and $3.50 for residence phones.
Mr.. Richey stated yesterday that the
reason the subscribers at Clinton were
getting residence phones at $l.50 per
month was that the Bell Telephone
Co, when it bought the Clinton ex-
change agreed to only charge $3.50
for residence phones. The Bell com
pany made this cheap rate for resi-
dence phones in order to get Clinton
for central location.
Outside Of the petitions and argu-

nothing else took place in the meet

Laurens Telephone Company recently
applied to the City Council OF T.au-

petual franchise with the right to
