After the Bell telephone company's 1 .t * -attorneys went to Columbia and got permission from the S. C- railroad commission to raise their rates in 1 South Carolina, discontinue out-of- j town service, etc., they moved over ' to Raleigh to get permission from the N- C. statg corporation commis- ( ? 6ion to do the same thing in North 1 Carolina. They have not yet sue- 1 ceeded, however. Corporation Com- , mlcDiAnn.- A T n "11 ?1- - ? Uiiouivuvi o. maAwcil WHO IS It brother of J. B- Maxwell of Ben- j nettsville?asks questions which they could not answer, and they had to stop appeal and go off after the re- 1 quired information. The following 1 /v from the Charlotte Observer: Raleigh, March 31 ? The South 1 cm Bell Telephone company's fight for higher exchange rates in North Carolina furnished a thrilling finale ti? spectators early this afternoon, when Commissioner Maxwell, something of an expert himself, clashed . with Vice President Hoxsey, star witness of the company, and demanded figures to show the appor\ tionment of long-distance revenue | \ bet ween the American Telephone and ( Telegraph company, parent corpora-1 ( non anil the llell. The case went to the commission! without argument upon the agreement reached yesterday afternoon 1 Mr. Hoxsey resumed the witness' stand this morning and underwent , cross-examination bv John W. Hins-j dale, representing the city of Raleigh, and J. A- Bell, representing the city of Charlotte for four hours be-! fore Commissioner Maxwell came to! bat. Prior to the Maxwell fusilade of! searching questions, the commission! had lent only orthodox ears to the! hearing and Mr. Hoxsey, the financial wizard of the Bell, had been swimming along and having barrels of fun with the municipal lawyers, who were against his company. The! only ripple on an otherwise placid ! performance today was the cross inquiry which developed that the ! vuui|>aii,i uurni i trujuy Hie gOUQ Will! of every newspaper in which it ad-1 vertises particularly the New Yorki. World and the morning paper here. Each have been crusading a bit on! the increase fightMr. Maxwell matched wits with Mr. Hoxsey in a manner so gentle , that no one for the moment dream-J ed that he was making a dent in the', plea for higher rates all the lawyers! had overlooked. Five of them have been battling^ all the week with Mr- Hoxsey and other officials of the company but the best they have been able to draw from any witness was the old, old J, story of the four and a half per cent agreement. Attorney Bell has, in a degree, paved the way for the ' Maxwell assault. For an hour this morning he parried with Mr. Hoxsey over the "good business" of maim taming unprofitable exchanges at the expense of more profitable ones., It was patent that the company would ] fall as a public servant to do other- ! wise, but the parrying: planted the' ^ germ for growing a more dangerous, ^ plant, and Mr, Maxwell nurtured it'5 to full bloom and a promising liar- . r~ vest. ' "How are the profits of the Ameri-;. 1 can Telephone and Telegraph company divided with the Pell Telephone system in North Carolina?" Mr. Maxwell asked Mr Hoxsey. Hoxsey looke surprised. He ran j his eve up and down the bench which . held the members of the commission j and turned it to his attorney,, in the | bar. There was no visible encourage-' ment anywheere. "I am unable to sav," Hoxsey re- , sponded, admitting that for the first * time he was stumped- j "You have insisted."' continued , Commissioner Maxwell, "that we j ought to take into consideration the , profits of the Southern Bell, as a ] whole in passing upon rates for this;, state and not the profits of the pay- x ing exchanges. It appears to me, then, that the commission ought to , take into consideration the profits j of the parent company, and its aub-'| sidiaries in view of the fact that it i derives revenue from business orig- ; innting in this state and going over- , the trunk linea of the A T. & T company." "But the trunk lino business is not j in issue," returned Hoxsey, still flab-, t bergasted. I ' Hunt Chipley, general council of; i the company, came to his assistance.!! "If you are going to insist on these\ i figures," said Mr. Chipley, striving!? to get the commissioner on another! subject, "then we think that you! t should inquire also Into the earnings j: of the independent concerns in North is Carolina." James H. Pou. local j i cousel did not move. Mr Chtniov . directed attention to the short and ! long haul passenger traffic over the j roads as a parallel case. ( Mr. Maxwell preferred to take the < railroads and express companies as 1 independent servants. One handles t the traffic on the cars and the other f moves it.

I CITIZENS DISCUSS PHONE KATES (k*ncrn| Manager Spear Tells Dillon Folk Why Kales Were liaisedTwo dozen or more citizens met Mr- Morgan II. Speir, general manager of the Southern Bell Telephone Co., at the court house Friday and heard him explain why the company found it necessary to raise rates. Mr. Speir went into a lengthy detuilcd statement of the company's affairs In an effort to convince those present that it was necessary to increase rates or go out of business, but there were many in the audience who were not convinced by Mr. Speir's arguments. Dillon subscribers to the Southern Bell service are not protesting against th^ general raise in rates. That was oidered by the Railroad Commission and if the commission has the authority thoro ill nn onn??l ?> ? ...wa v au ?1V uFy^Clli DUl wnai the Dillon subscribers are standing ot. is a contract entered into in 1913 m which the Southern Bell agreed to furnish business and residence pi.ones in Dillon at $3.50 and $2 respectively. The contract remains in foice until 750 phones have been installed in the Dillon office, and up to the present writing only 325 have been installed. In 1913 the company agreed to put in a modern system at Dillon, which they did. The subscribers agreed to pay a higher rate for this modern service, which they have been doing. Business phones in Dillon are $3.50 and residence phones are $2.00 whereas in other towns the rates are much lower. Each party to the contract has been carrying out its provisions to the letter, but now the telephone company gays the government d??rs not allow them to make discriminatory rates?that is one rate in one town and another rate in another ? and so they refuse to stand by the contract and tell Dillon subscriber* they must pay the increased rate as ordered by the Itailroad Commission or have their phones cut out. In his argument before the Dillon subscribers Mr. Speir dealt in generalities and every time the contract was mentioned he seemed to want to get away from it. He spoke at some length in which he reviewed the financial condition of the company, how much it was paying its employees and how much its operating expenses had increased in the last few years. The gentlemen who heard him do not question these statements, but rnc/o ? Jlnnn "-? * .v e,.?. ui nuw mum money his company is making or is not making, or what it is doing in other towns and cities, all the Dillon subscribers want is for the company to stand by its contract made in 1913. It was evident early in the meeting that Mr. Speir and th0 Dillon citizens would never get together. The Southern Bell ig a large corporation and like all big corporations with many executive heads it has certain rules by which it does-business and those rules are as inflexible as the rising and setting of the sun. They will not vary those rules to suit Dillon or any other town or city. Mr. Speir holds that Dillon's contract is not valid- Dillon phone subscribers hold that it is, and the onl> way to adjust the matter is to take ii into courts and let them pass upon it on its merits. If the contract is not valid. th(. Southern Bell may have to refund the over-plus it has charged Dillon subscribers for the last 10 >ears; if it is valid the company cannot raise its rates, regardless of what the Railroad Commission says ci does. That is all there is to the controversy. o Jack-am-Dibble.

The ceremony room was banked with lovely spring offerings. An improvised altar was arranged with pedestals of ferns and ivy and lingo baskets of white roses. The soft tints ol a number of white caudles lent a charm to the color scheme of green and white. Promptly at 4:30 o'clock could be faintly heard the bridal chorus from Lohengrin. The bride entered v ith the bridegroom. She wore a beautiful suit of midnight blu<. with grey accessories. She wore a lovely bouquet of bride roses showered with sweot peas. The only ornament of the,bride was a beautiful string of pfarls, a gift of the groom. An informal reception followed the ceremony, the guests assembling in the dining room, which was a mass of evergreens and pink carnations. The soft rays of.a number of pink tapers spread a halo of light over the festive scene. Pink and white block cream were served- Only thr. families and a few of the near friends of tlio bride and bridegroom were present.

Many people living in South Carolina do not know the importance of watermelons as a commercial crop in this state, says P. I-. Harkey, extension agent in marketing who has recently had many inquiries couoeraing such questions as the best commercial varieties, the shipping p< riod the number of melons require*! to make a car, etc. Figures from the of fice of the marketing agents show that 3,000 to 4.000 cars of watermelons are shipped out of the state annually, th0 majority of these being produced in Barnwell, Allendale, Hampton and Jasper counties. In'Ii<ations are that the crop planted this jcar will be a large one. ine chief commercial varieties in South Carolina are the Excel and the Tom Watson. Shipments usually begin about July 1. and end about September 1. The 1020 shipping season was at its height from July 20 to July 30- On July 20. 102<>. 300 cars were shipped. When the South Carolina movement of watermelons is on sharp comjpetition is to be expected from Ooor]gia. Some shipments are also moving 'at that time from Alabama and North (Carolina, and a few from Florida, though the Florida movement b< iconics comparatively unimportant af1t? r July 15The majority of melon* shipments {from South Carolina g<> t? Eastern 'markets though many ear at* old lin Southern territory throughout the Ishipping season, for almost very jtewn of any siz*^ handles one or more cars of watermelons. For the advance inst rn?-tn those planting watermelons couitip r Icially it might be said that \vat< run 1 |ons art. usually loaded in ventilated hex cars 4 or f> layers high depending , j on the size of the melons. When melons average 18 pounds. 1.2<tO to 1. 4"0 are usually loaded in a car; winn ;they average 2n poumls or more, find i to 1.200 are usually loaded to a ear. All ears should l?e elenn and bedded (with dry pine or train straw. Sliavlings or sawdust can be used if absolutely dry but are not the most desirable bedding. HOME DEMONSTRATION DEI'MITMENT. 1 (Conducted by Etta Sue Sellers.) Making It ren.l in tlie llonii The yeast plant is one of the smallest organisms in the plant kingdom, but it 'is of great value to the housekeeper in making bread. The yeast plant is a living thing. For anything to have life, it must grow, take food, and r? produce. One single little yeast plant is in the form of a tiny round cell. As it begins to giow, it expands and finally breaks into two parts. Each ... cc.-x-- ^luwg in inn same way. To pi ow the cells must have starch ami moisture. There must be a certain amount of heat to favor the prowth of tyrant. Too much heat will kill the yeast or cause it to prow too rapidly. We should have moderate in i when makinp lipht bread.
