Taylor, of the Southern Public Utilities Company, spent a few hours in the city yesterday, having come over from Greenvile. He has been on a tour of inspection, having visited several of the cities and towns of thiB State.

When seen by a representative of The Intelligencer, Mr Taylor express ed himself as being well pleased with the outcome of the recent agitation here relative to the franchise matter. He said that he did not welcome, of course, criticism at any time, but tbat in thlB case he was glad there had been so much discussion of the franchise matter, for it was educa tional and he felt that the people now understood what a good contract the city really has; that he was delighted to know that the people of the etty would not stand for the setting aside of a contract entered Into by the etty under a former administration. Anderson's Good Contract. "Public service companies," said Mr. Taylor, "seldom have any ono to speak for them, and the Information the people get concerning their work comes from those opposed to their operation. They feel that there is al j ways 'some nigger lp the woodpile.' I But the people of Anderson should j realise that' they ha*e the best con tract they- could have, better than . most places, or than Mmost any otlt, I er place," declared Mr. Taylor. "Why, the rale for lights in Anderson is 20 per cent, less than in Columbia, and 40 per cent less for water than in the city of Charlotte, which 1s a rn un lei ARBORS FEELING ANDERSON: pally owned plant." 1 < Speaking of Anderson's white way, 11 Mr. Taylor made the assertion that ' 1 there is not a town in the United < States, HO far us be kuew, that had ] a white way at all comparable to An- ! i derson and Charlotte, that had been ' : Installed by the company furnishing ? < the power under as favorable corni 1- i tiona. ? Tills is the second city in j ] which his company has installed a ' i white way, the other one being Char- < lotte, N. C. Atlanta assessed the prop- 1 erty owners to pay for the Installa- . lion, but his company decided that it could be done by them, and Charlotte was the first city In which they tried ' the experiment. Anderson was the 1 second. I In Favor of Paving. "Will your company favor the bond issue for paving?" was asked Mr. 1 Taylor. i .

S'ow." continued Mr. Taylor, "a small Eoncern could not get financial assist ance at such a time to put into pav ing, aud we have to borrow IV, but you :an say to your peoplo that we ahall push the street paving and shall keep step with the progressive citizens of your town on this paving proposition. Dur company has spent $275,000 In street paving in Charlotte ?luring the past three years, and we have been glad to do lt. Wc shall be glad to do the same thing for Anderson that we have done for Charlotte," de clared Mr. Taylor. Kio IU Feeling) "How does your company feel to ward Anderson in view ot the recent light that luis been 'made here relative to the franchise matter?" Mr. Taylor waa asked. "That matter haa not affected the feeling we have for Anderson in the slightest degree. We feel Just aa kindly towards Anderson today aa wc ever did. We shall give the town our earnest aupport and we do not think that there Is any one in the city that will go further for the good of An weraon than we will. Why, do you know that we are perhaps aa large a taxpayer as there la In the city?" aaid Mr. Taylor. "Why should we, there fore, wish to throttle the city? Why, we wouldn't own a public aervlce cor poration in a dead town. I believe in tho future of Anderson. You have here some of the biggest and most progressive men I haue ever known, ?md with these men working for the upbuilding of your city it will be sure to grow.
