Last week the telephone patrons oil
Manning were served with a notice
from the maiu Office in Sumter that or
October first the the charges would be
increased fifty cents per phone. Feel
ing that We are now paying an exhorb
itan5 price for this service, some Of the
citizens took the matter in hand and a
once circulated petit:oG among the
subscribers, registering protest fol
such an increase, and at the same time
asking for reduction of like amount
We. though a stockholder, signed the
petition to have three phones which
we are interested in taken out. 10 caSe
the advance goes into effect. Taking g
the position that we would rather lose
little more dividend, than have oul
people taken the advantage OF. We
hope the company will rescind their
order, and the whole matter will be
settled without further trouble.
Mr.. Editor, through your paper
wish to thank my friends for the sand
they made for me ia the election just
past. Many of yeu understood how
my defeat came about, there were five
good Blease men in the race who divio
ed up the Bleass vote, and all the An.
ties had to do ID defeat me was to SIC
rifce their candidate and vote for
three Blease men, this Anti vote with
the BleaSe vote that went to them elec-
ted them. I understand the Antics
claim the credit for electing our new
delegation, to which 10 some extent
they are entitled. But If they think
they have string tied to them in any
way hey are mistaken. These newly
elected men are true Reformers and
will stand for their convictions. We
are to be congratulated on having our
House Delegation made up entirely oi
Blease men, for the first time in my
recollection. To the newly elected
gentlemen wish to say, that you are
to be congratulated on having a large
percentage of the incoming Legisla'
ture Of the same political faith as
yours, which has not been my good
! fortune during my four years service.
l am as ever yours, Bob White.
