Gaffney Ledger, Oct. z: BY new
system and added plant which tine
Victor Cotton Oil Company is now in
stalling its capacity output Of ice
will be increased from Is tons to 40
tons per day. The plant, which will
cost approximately $4,000, will be
ready for operation before next spring.
This increase in the capacity of the ice
plant has been made necessary by the
growing consumption of the commo-
dity due to the increasing population
Of Gaffney. State Constables C.. Y.
Wallace and Charles Byers and Chief
of Police j. III. Allison, of Blacksburg,
Sunday afternoon arrested Mag Cline,
a. negro woman, whom they found in
possession of a quart Of contraband
whiskey. A search of her house later
discovered another half pint hidden in
a trunk. s The woman was bound over
to the next term of court. .Gaffney's
telephone service has been rotten
to use the expression commonly
brought into play by patrons to des-
cribe it-for the past several months,
and at the regular mcnthly meeting
Friday night the city council took
official cognizance of the situation by
going on record as requesting an i'm
provement at once. For several minu-
tes at the meeting the councilmen
went into q session of hard luck
stories concerning their experiences in
trying to use the local telephone
system. Agreement as to the poor
service, or lack of service as one al
derman called it, was practically
unanimous. S. NJ. Gault. manager of
the local exchange, yesterday said that
everything possible is being done to
give Gaffney people service, but he
said that with the magnetic system the
service naturally has to be slower
than with the common battery which
the company is going to install with
in the next two years. According
to Mr.. Gault's idea, Gaffney has grown
too big for the system which is now
in use. He expressed confidence that
the new system will give entire salts
faction. In the meantime, Mr.. Gault
said, every effort is going to be made
to give Gaffney people the best SER
