Worlds Wine Drinking Record
Broken in Paris.

Paris, May 21.-The worlds wine
drinking record has BEEN broken. At
a banquet offered by the Alsatian
wine growers to the French minister
of agriculture, one hundred and thir-
ty-nine varieties Of beverage were
served.
There were four hundred guests
and they drank steadily for two hours
snatching only a mouthful of food at
rare intervals, while veritable army
of walters passed the cobwebbed bot
ties which were brought up to the
tables by means of specially con-
structed toy railroad encircling the
banquet hall.
No casualties have been reported.

Why That Headache?

When you know the cause of dis

This is particularly true of headache.
Headache often results from consti-

are easy to take and mild and gentle

Order Restraints Telephone
Company From Raising
Rates.

A. L. M. Virgins of Hartsville,
president of the South Carolina Tel
ephone Subscribers association has
written C. S. Monteith of Columbia,
secretary of the organization, to the
effect that an injunction has been is
sued against the. Southern Bell Tel
ephone company enjoining it from
making any change in its rate.
Mr.. Virgins communication is as
follows:

injunction Granted.

Injunction Granted.
Upon complaint of F. A. Miller of
Hartsville, against the Southern Bell
Telephone G. Telegraph Co., Judge
W. G. Shipp of the circuit court has
issued an injunction and restraining
order to the telephone company en-
joining it from increasing the tele-
phone rates for local services and
from making any change in rate or
interurban and rural services, here
tofore furnished the plaintiff. The
injunction in effect places the tele-
phone service with respect to the
plaintiff on the same basis as the
rates and services existing prior to
April 1, 1921.
The plaintiff alleges a violation. of
contract and asks judgment against
the telephone company for $2,9999
for alleged injury and damage. Plain
tiff also asks permanent injunction
restraining the telephone company
from failing and refusing to render
telephone service furnished it prior
to April 1, 1921.
Out in Mississippi.
Mr. Virgins also sends the fol-
lowing communication from Harts-
vile:
Increased telephone rates recently
granted by the railroad commission
of Mississippi have been declared
void by the state courts under a de-
cision just handed down by Judge
w. H. Potter.
The courts decision was to the eff
feet that the telephone company was
engaged in two separate businesses,
the one toll business and the other
an exchange service and that the
increase in rates was asked for the
exchange service, but no separate
accounts were kept as to the ex-
penses of the two kinds of service.
The court includes that "it cannot be
reasonably denied that without this
separation of expense and a knowl-
edge of what costs fall to the ex-
change services, the action of the
commission in finding new rate
would be arbitrary and void"
The court also holds, as to the Pc
tition of the telephone company that
an increase in rate was necessary
in order for the company to show a
net income that would enable it to
sell it's securities. "None of this mat
ter should have been contained in the
petition of the company except that,
the rate allowed did not yield fair
return upon the investment and ask
ing an increase in its charges. The
selling of the company's securities
and the increase in it's capital was no
part of the business of the commits
sion and was a matter over which it
had no jurisdiction. The people are
not called upon to furnish or to pro-
vide means for the company to in
crease its investment"
The decision concludes: "In the
matter Of great public Importance
like this it should be clear that the
matter considered was the question
and this does not appear in the judg
ment. This order seems void because
the il 'gment does not show that the
rates for exchange service thereto
fore in force yielded less than rea-
sonable return on the investment" }"
