TELEPHONE REGULATION Important Bill that Promises Relief to Users. W. J. Thackston of Greenville, chairman of the local committee of the South Carolina Telephone Users' association, gave out the following statement to the Greenville Piedmont yesterday: ' Failing to get re'ief from the un I just increase in telephone charges | through the State Railroad Commission, those interested appealed to the Greenville delegation in an endeavor to puss a bill through the legislature of this session which would restore the old rates. "This move ha3 been entirely successful, due to the active cooperation of Captain John G. Greer, Representatives Bryson, McDavid and other members of the delegation in the house. A bill was framed which, if it becomes a law, will reduce the rutes back to where they stood before the unjust increase allowed by the railroad commission. This bill has passed the house and is now up in the senate for its third reading. "The South Carolina Telephone Users association which was organized last year is actively behind the passage of this bill through the senate, and with a view of having somebody on the ground. Mr. Stephen Nettles, j who has handled the matter from its ; beginning was sent to Columbia last | night to see that the bill had a proper show and, if possible, have It .enacted ] into law. "It has been reported to the committee that the telephone company \ last summer retained certain attor- I neys in the state who happened to be | r\f tho Kf?note. It will ! he one of the objects of Mr. N'ettjes to investigate these reports, end suffi- ; cient influence is assured to have the : question asked on the floor of the sen- { ate, if any members of that body are attorneys of the telephone company and their action will be watched with great interest and care. "It is the opinion of those interested in this fight that it is not compatible for a member of the legislature to exercise his prerogative on the floor of the general assembly as a member of that body, where public questions come up and the interest of the public ccr.flict with special interest that are opposed to the public, and the commit- i tee believes that this opinion is shared certainly by all users of telephones in this state. If the -rumor proves groundless, the publication of the fact [ if such is not the case, will remove an ; Imputation that ought not to exist. "if those who are interested in th?? restoration cf the old rates will take ! the trouble to drop a line to (heir; representative or the ' senators within , the next twenty-four hours, giving | them their views, such action will be exceedingly helpful, "Knough information has been col- : looted effecting the general telenhon" 1 situation and rates in the United j States to convince this committee that ; the method of bookkeeping adopted by ! tho mmreinv is. to sav tile least of it. misleading and if any citi- j zen fools that this statement is unfair to the telephone company, a perusal ] of a recent opinion of the State Utilities commission of the state of Kan- j sas will remove all doubt from his mind as to the justness of this state- I ment. "The total increase in the city of j Greenville as near as can ho estimated [ amounts to $30,000 per annum. The | to?ul increase for the **? ?? of C!> "+h | Carolina is estimated at a half million i dollars a year, and the committor . I lieves that these amounts are unjustly taken away from the citizens of this ! state, and the house of represontaj fives have agreed with the committee ' in the passage of this bill.

On the arrival of the Lamport and Holt liner Vauban yesterday at Hoboken from South American ports, re- ' lates the New York Times, Frank C. < Blesstng, second officer, reported wit- * ntssing an astronomical phenomenon < on the night of February 11 off the ' coast of Brazil which lit up the ship < and the sea like day and startled, those < on deck. The officer said he was in < charge of the bridge at three tells In < the first watch, 9:30 p. m. when he < saw a huge ball of fire rise above the < horizon in the West and describe a J low arc ahead of the ship and dlsap- < pear below the Eastern horizon. When he took Ills observations the < fire ball, which was as large as the J full moon in the Southern hemisphere' < rnu surrounded by a flaming halo, , lighting up sky and sea, was about ter. 1 degrees above the hoi izon. It was traveling at great speed and was in sight three minutes and twenty seccods. In describing the strange sight Officer Messing said: "The ball wan very fiery awl a brilliant red, with a tail and a long fiery trail, which lit up the sea in all directions. The ship and for a quarter of a mile around, was lit up like day, and the light was so brilliant that it dimpled the lamp in the binnacle and the smoking room lights, which caused passengers inside to rush out deck to see what was the (patter. 1 was scared at the strange sight, because I thought that it had something to do with the end of the world. It was too large for a meteor ar.d came up from the horizon on the west and did not drop from the zenith. "I could not estimate how far it was from the ship as it passed across the bows. 1 called the c: plain to see it but by the time he reached the bridge the ball of fire had disappeared. I cannot imagine what it could have been and the astronomers attached to the observatories could not explain it to rne. "When we arrived at Rio do Janeiro the scientists from the observatory came on board and questioned me as to the time 1 had seen the phenomenon and what it was like, and the same thing took place at Buenos Aires and Montevideo. From what the astronomers told me the big bull of fin must have been visible within, a radius of 700 miles north, south, east and west of the Vauban when we observed it."

The Dalai Lama of Tibet, the religious and secular head of that recluded country has to work harder than the average British or American business man. He pets up at 4 o'clock In the morning and labors until midnight, notwithstanding the fact that he is unquestionably the "big boss." Sir Charles Bell, a British political officer in India, vho' has just returned after a goafs'residence in the romantic "forbidden city" of Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, says the Dalai Lama is a "wonderful personality." Sir Charles is one of the, few Europeans who halve mastered the Tibetan language and this helped him to become friendly with the head of all Tibet. "He paid me the honor of inviting me into the forbidden enclosure of his country palace," said Sir Charles.

The climate was intensely cold when Sir Charles arrived, and for days the temperature Indoors never rose above freezing point. In the place of windew glass, the Tibetans used a sort of wax cloth. It lets the wind in, but they are a hardy rac?- and do not appear to feel the discomfort of tho cold. "Mutton, yak beef and pork are the staple diet," Sir Charles went on. "Tibetans do not like either chickens or eggs. They do not sleep in beds but on the floor, on which are placed large downy cushions. You lie on top of these and fold them over you. They are very comfortable and warm.

However comfortable the officials may be with the fur hat April 25 or wlthpqt it after that After being released from the Jail he returned to the scene of the robbery, introduced himself to the proprietor and apologized for his actions.

He was re-elected to the senate from Beaufort two years ago so that he lias two years more of * his term in that body to serve and he expects to serve them. It was stated by these friends that the senator had received scores of | telegrams from every section of the state commending' him for his stand and many of them, urged that he run for governor, but he had replied in every instance that he would not even consider it. w GIRL FAMINE IN STATE I Bachelors Must Go Outside of Minnesota if They -Wish to Marry.

The orchestra struck up the tunc of tho revolution and but very few in the audience rose out of respect. ' ^ Lately Isadore Duncan, after a public performance of her dances, asked the audience to Join her in singing the "Internationale." This seemed a signal for the audience to leave. Everybody seemed to be going out as the orchestra played and Miss Duncan was left to sing alone. One of the reasons for the lack of, enthusiasm for the song is that it has been sung too much.
