NERTAINLY no citizen Of Hendersonvilk

CERTAINLY no citizen Of Hendersonville would
~ wish us to operate at a loss, and we anticipate the
cooperation of the public in our plans to prevent further
losses by adjusting our rates SO that the returns will pro-
duce a profit, even though slight.
The cost Of labor and Of every class Of material used in
the construction, maintenance and operation Of telephone
plants has increased enormously. Despite this we have
recognized our obligation to the public by furnishing SER
vice for all necessary purposes. We have recognized our
obligation to our employees by increasing the wages paid
to aid them to meet the higher cost Of living.
Obviously it is necessary for us to receive sufficient rev.
enue to maintain and operate our telephone property and
system with a high degree Of efficiency, with such per-
manent net profit as will maintain our credit and enable
us to exchange our securities, without discount, for the
additional, new capital required to supply the necessary
additions to our plant and service.
All details Of the difficulties that confront us will be
presented to the State Cooperation Commission and will
be spread before our subscribers and the public in news
paper advertisements which are to follow.

For Telephone Company
This company has filed a petition with the North
Carolina State Corporation Commission requesting
authority to advance it's rates in Asheville and
HendersOnville; for permission to enforce certain
provisions of it's subscribers contracts which will
prevent a waste of service and remove an unnec-
essary burden from the company.
We have not earned in the past and are not now
earning a reasonable profit over and above the
cost of furnishing service. The returns from our
operations were 2.85 per cent in 1916 and 2.39 per
cent iii 1917.
The result of our operations in HendersOnviIe
for the year 1916 showed a loss of 1869. 10 or a loss
of .O6 per cent. In 1917 our loss in dollars and
cents was $2,138.7O or 400 per cent.
We are confronted with conditions entirely be-
yOnd our control, the gravity of which cannot be
estimated The telephone business is an essential
industry, the efficient operation and maintenance
of which is an important factor in the Nations
plans and activities for winning the war.

LIKED THE WAR.

They told me down South about a
negro who was drafted big cornfield
darby who had drifted along through
life till then with nobody bothering
much about him. The draft took him
rather frightened and protesting, and
he found himself in the army. After
the first daze of it wore off, he dis
covered that he was being taken an
interest in for the first time in his
life. They took him over to one of
the community service colored clubs
in his off time. There was piano
there, there were pool tables and
games, not to speak of temperance
bar. There was going to be a col
ored dance that night, and he heard
of dinner by the Daughters Of Zion
on Saturday. He settled down in his
chair, for the first time in his stray
dog life recognized member of the
community, with a recognized place
in the world. Then he leaned over
to the comrade who had brought him.

A SONG OF TWO GARDENS
(By C. w. Waggoner.)

Away in the time-dimmed ages
God planted a Garden fair,
Where man walked SO near unto Hea-
ven
That God came and walked with
him there.
But the tempter came to that Garden
And man lost his fair estate;
So God drove him forth fromhisEd
And He set a1gel-guards at the
gate.
Away in another Garden,
Where the stars withheld their
light,
Alone in the dark with the tempter,
Another Man battled one night,
Sweating Blood for worlds redemp-
Poured His soul out for thee and
me;
He bought back our Garden of Eden,
Through His Garden of Gethse-
name.
O soul, hast thou lost thy Eden,
The innocent childhood ways?
Art weary with unfruited grieving,
And yearning for memory-held
days?
Wouldst thou know the joy of for
giveaess;
From SHINING dost long to be free?
Let Jesus restore thee thy Eden,
Through His Garden of Gethse-
name.
sing song of two Gardens,
The Eden we could not retain;
The sorrowful Garden of Gethsemane
Where Christ bought US back with
His pain.

Sioux Falls, S. d, Sept 4@Althougn
heirs to the estate of the late Louis
J.. Nelson, farmer recluse of Moody
county, who died last January leaving
property valued at about $135, 600, are
springing up all over the country like
mushrooms, the state of South Dalso-
tai, through Attorney General Caldwell,
has commenced proceedings for the
5escheating of the estate to the state on
the ground that no genuine heirs ex-
list and that the properly rightfully be-
longs to South Dakota.
During the lifetime Nelson, who was
a man of many eccentricities, in order
to mystify such of his neighbors as lie
condescended to speak to as to any
relatives he had, claimed that a hired
man who worked for him two seasons
about thirty years ago was a relative.
This hired man, who proved to be Will
liam Lyness, now OF Oshkosh, Wis,
was searched outt&bS Frederick A.
Warren; of F~landrehhj the attorney for
the estate, when a aiunt for relatives
of the dead man commenced.
Lyness might readily have claimed
he was a relative, as stated by Nelson,
and doubtless could 81ave secured pos
session of the estate, but when At
torrey Warren Nahtss to- him at Osf1-
kosh he frankly stated that he was not
a~.relative of the dead. man-that claim
to this effect hy Nelson, was, but an
other of his e~ccentricities. After hav-
ing i personal interview with LyIless
and discovering that he was moi a
relative of Nelson, Attorney Warren
gave the facts concerning the search
for heirs OF the estate, and the story
based on this recently was given wide
publicity throughout the United States.
Now alleged heirs are appearing
from every quarter, indicating that the
Nelson's and members of branches of
the Nelson family are careful readers
of The newspapers. t#
Nelson was the owner of 1000 acres
of rich farming land, city property
and cash and credits in various banks.
He lived alone in a little shack on one
of his South Dakota farms for a period
of forty years. During these years he
never made hut the most vague refer
ence to relatives. It was believed the
estate would. in the absence of heirs,
revert to the state of South Dakota,
But now plenty of heirs or alleged
heirs have appeared, and 1t is possible
that one or more of these may es-
tablisll their right to the valuable
property Of the old man At the time
Of his death Nelson was about CD years
Of age.

Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1918-01-17

The suicide OF girl who failed To-
pass a mathematical examination at
the Girls high school Is an extreme IN.
stance Of form OF sensitiveness which
Is very common among school chit
dren and which causes q great deal Of
wholly unnecessary. and sometimes UNI
suspected unhappiness, says the Brook
Ign Eagle.
This poor girl thought that she had
disgraced her family by her failure, an
absurd notion which could only find
Judgment in a mind not entirely recov-
cred from the general unsettling Of
adolescence. At that age the unsettling
affects both boys and girls. but the re-
suit is more likely to be serious with
girls because they take less exercise IN
the open air. Their nerves are less
dominated by muscles tired out IN
healthful sport and they have more
time for introspection--a process which
Is pretty sure to distort ones view OF
his relations to his surroundings NATL
such time as the mind has hardened
and grown mp and experience has
taught that the world does not revolye
around the success or failure Of any
one Of us.
The prevention for this sort Of un-
happiness Is to be found in keeping a
sharp eye--on no account sharp
tongue--on children when they are be-
ginning to study too hard, and TO have
some dIverting relaxation at hand for
them when the point is reached Of
which study Is no longer productive.
Children sometimes muddle for hours
over lessons without getting any clear
idea and when all the nervous force
they put iato their study Is wasted.
Sometimes that IL because they have
not learned how to think and some
times because no one has aroused their
interest In that study. They "just hate"
algebra or civil government, and In
that frame Of mind the effort they put
on II II almost sure TO be wasted. The
remedy IN tina. case il not more study
but either a better understanding or
more play TO rest tired brain and
nerves. But the application Of the
remedy requires a very close and sym
pathetic understanding OF the child,
and pareats sometimes fiDd that harder
with their children than outsiders.
