THE COMPANY KNEW A YEAR

Manager H. A. Orr of I hu Southern IT
Public Utilities company waa greatly it
pleased yesterday with the reception I d
of tiie anuunceinent of the reduction
in rates on electricity cold in the city.
One year ago the rate was 12 1-2
couts., today lt ls 10 cents, a saving
of 2 1-2 cents. tl
A year ago the company aasked for U
a renewal of its contract for five g
year* and for a renewal of its fran- tl
chise a permit lo do ousiness in the hi
city. This was not for an exclusive
franchise, as the old one was and au
was at ti rut understood of the renewal p
by many who raised a protest, and thu tl
company subsequently agreed to take ri
a 40 year franchise, in view of thu
opposition to tiie 60 year proposition.
In seeking the new contract for
live years, the company explained that
it had tn make certain repairs, im
provement!? and extensions at a con- j V
siderhule outlay of money, und for j b
that reason urged an immediate ac-1 lc
lion, promising the city to put in a
10 cent rate as soon us possible.
Council wished th(p written In the
contract and the company demurred.

TWO ACCIDENTS
DURING THE DAY
ol
Negro Boy and White Boy Run
Over in Different Parts of
Town by Auto*
So far as was known around town
last night only two accidents occured
in Andemon yesterday. Avnogro boy
wau run. over hy an automobile near
the Orr mills yesterday, the machino
passing entirely over tho boy's body,
but fortunately he was not much In
jured. The man driving the machine
picked the boy up quickly and brought
him to town where medical attentional
was given and it was discovered that
he was not badly hurt.
A youngster riding a bicycle was
run over on the public square yester
day afternoon by an automobile but
he was struck a glanctng blow by the
machine and be suffered but little
damage. Ills bicycle was considerab
ly torn up but thu man driving the
car gavo him 35 and doubtless the boy
was glad that the accident occurred.
With these two exceptions the police
department had heard of no furthor
accidents yesterday.
This ls a remarkable record for the
day, since there were dozens of out
of-town automobiles and hundreds ot
buggies he-? for the day and every
Anderson man boasting of a machine
had lt out for airing during the day.
Paymaster Paul Clnrkc. U. 8. M.,

he will have duty as Paymaster of thfc
