night III the basement OF the three
story building on Magnolia Street.
The loss covered by insuranc tO the
extent Of G5 per cent, is complete,
and hardly anything can be saved.
Before the fire was discovered it
had gained great headway, and from
the first it was evident that the build-5
ing was doomed.
The Herald is being issued from
the plant Of Band & White, printers.
When the fire was first discovered
the basement and ground floor OF
the building were completely filed
with smoke Those on the ground
floor rushed out and the alarm was
sounded for those on the second floor
to leave the building, which was done
by all In the reportorial, telegraph,
composing and stereotyping Depart
ments. BY the time all had escaped
the entire building was a mass OF
smoke and flames, several OF the eni-
ployees managing to leave the build
ing just IN time to escape being over
come by the denso columns Of smoke
pouring from every opening In the
building. "A child, the son OF a.. r..

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION.
Council Asks for improvements Be
fore Granting Rate Increase.

Some time ago The Oconee Tele-
phone Company gave notice that 1t
would increase It's rates, from the
first day Of November. 1918, as fol-
lows: Residence phones from 81 SO
to $3.50 per month, business pnones
from $500 to $4.O0 per month.
Before the change went into aifect
the attention Of the company was
called to fact that the existing rates
were part OF the. amendent to the
franchise Of the telephone company,
as amended October 20. 19D9; SO
at the regular November meeting Of
tho Town Council, q resolution was
passed directing the telephone com.
pany to make no change in rates un-
til the matter could be investigated
and the citizens Of the town have
an opportunity to be heard, and that
the telephone company be required
to re-install any phones that had
ben removed because OF refusal to
pay the increased rates; provided
the subscriber desired that 1t be put
back. This was done wherever re-
quested.
The telephone company then made
application to be heard before the
Council in, support Of the proposed
change In rates. The hearing was
had at the regular December meet
ing. After a full discussion of the
matter, the Council passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
That the Oconee Telephone Com
pany be instructed to go ahead and
make the improvement in service
that was proposed by it, so that it
will be satisfactory to the Council,
and when this has been done, Coun-
Gil will then permit the amendert
to the franchise In accordance with
the increase in rates, as asked for"
No answer has been received by
the Council, so far as we are inform
