CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE
co. ENFORCES PAWN
ADVANCE RULES.

The action of the Cumberland
Telephone Company this month in
sending out advance bills for
September service created a great
deal of comment in New Iberia a
few days ago. This system, so
Mr.. GallOis says, was established
in all parts of the country by the
Cumberland many years since, and
even in New Iberia the local
manager says that seventy per
cent of the present subscribers
have always paid in advance. In
order to place everybody on the
same level the Cumberland Com
pany instructed Mr.. Gallois to col
lect in advance from all of the re-
naming subscribers, 50 on the
s$Gst Of September each and every
who had not already paid were
eserved notices to send in the
amounts due for September as
well as August. There is no
doubt there is some valid reason
to place all of the users of the tei-
ephones on the same footing, and
IN this the Cumberland cannot be
criticised in the premises. 1t does
seem unjust, however, for patrons
of the line to be compelled to find
the additional money to meet the
new requirements, and taking this
as a cue, Hon. Shelby Taylor, the
Railroad Commissioner of LouiSi-
ana has been appealed to lend his
aid in making the Company fur
nish the service and then after

UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL
TEAMS.

AS usual, the football teams Of the
Universities of Louisiana and Arkan
sas will meet In annual clash at the
State Fair Of Louisiana. The game
this year Is scheduled TO be played
Saturday. November 6, which will b
known as School and College Day and
Football Day, as customary, In honor
Of the great collegiate and athletic
event
If the plans of the management ma
terialize, there will also be other foot
ball contests during the State Fair, in.
GLIDING game between the Louisfana
State University and the Mississippt
College, October so being suggested al
the date for the former.
The Louisiana-Arkansas grtdirou
fight has never failed to draw an iaa.
mense audience. Each year the inter,
est seems to increase, owing to the
constantly growing rivalry between
the two big universities. This year.
the struggle promises to be lfvsEieg
than In former years, in view OF thu
attention being given football by both
institutions. and the larger attsn&

wards collect what is due them.
Of course we do not blame the
Cumberland for trying to make
their business 100 per cent sure
each month, as they have it within
their province to do so, since they
have no competition. Very prob
ably we would do the same our
selves if we had a monopoly of
business here or anywhere else.
On the other hand while a major
lty of the people can pay the bill
without noticing it, there are
those who believe services should
first be rendered. In an interview
with Mr.. Gallois he stated that al
most every month the Company
suffers losses, and it was to pro-
tect themselves that they had to
put New iberia in the same cate
CORY as other towns and cities in
the United States. Just how far
the prOtesters will 60 in their eff
forts to make them refund the
amounts collected, we have not
ascertained. however, we do not
believe the Railroad Commissioner
can prevent the Company from
collecting in advance, especially,
when seventy per cent of the peo-
pie have long since acquiesced in
meeting their demands.
