New telephone Franchise.
The City Council lias granted the
Anderson Telephone Company a new
-franchise. The ordinance was adopted
Friday afternoon last at a meeting
chock fullol spice and variety m the
way of spirited debate, and no action
taken by Council for years has no
thoroughly stirred up the people and
called forth so much criticism and dis
cussion. In the meeting his Honor.
Mayor Tolly, kicked entirely <>nt of
traces and left, and among the tele- i
phone subscribers then' was and -till j
is kicking "from away hack/'
For some time past there has la-en
considerable dissatisfaction with the
jiresent telephone service, and during
that time the Southern Hell Tele
phone and Telegraph Company has
been trying to get a franchise which
would ei able them to put in u compet
ing system. The superiority of tho
Bell system was recognized, but it was
thought unwise to let I hem in on the
guarantees and concessions they pro
posed.
It developed recently that an agree
ment looking to a partial consolidation
of the Hell people and the Anderson
Company was on foot. Active'efforts
were made by both in the last two
weeks to have the Council adopt ordi
nances presented by them. Twice
they were before the Council. The
first time they were turned down and
a committee of two from the Council
was appointed to confer with them.
The second time they were turned
down, and ono other member of tho
Council added to the committee with
instructions to try to agree upon an
ordinance the Council could consider.
Each time promises of a greatly im
proved service were made, and as
better service was "the object of the
meeting,'' Council continued to give
them hearings. The committee re
p<?Med ready for business last Friday
a'-d ,i meeting of Council was called
? ? Friday afternoon. Those present
Mayor G. F. Tolly, Aldermen F.
G. Brown, C. D. Sullivan, H. C. Town
?ond, 11. E. Ligon, City Attorney J. K.
Hood, Geo. W. Evans, president An
derson Telephone Company, Mr.
-, representative of the Bell people,
and J. L. Tribble, Esq., attorney for
ibe two companies. The ordinance
agreed upon by the committee from
Council and the phone people asked
for a franchise for the Anderson Tele
phone Company, covering a period of
seven yenrs and fixing the rates to be
charged as follows: Phones, each, on
duplex system, (meaning several
phones, not exceeding six, on one wire)
$1C; residence, local service only, $18;
residence, local and long distnnce, $24;
commercial, local only, $:JC; commer
cial, local and longdistance, $40. Sub
scribers to local service and non-sub
scribers to pay a charge of 10 cents for
long distance service.
The old franchise fixed the rate at
$15 for residence phones, $20 for long
distunce phones and provided that
charges for long distance messages
should no** exceed charges made in oth.
er cities. There was no limit.
The guarantees to the city in the
new franchise a.o briefly : To out of
town subscribers no greater charge
than in Anderson; to substitute within
six months for present system first -
class full metallic system; latest im
proved Bell phones aud switchboard;
wires and materials used to be such as
now required by the very latest speci
fications of the Southern Bell Tele
phone nnd lulegraph Company; ser
vice to be efficient and satisfactory,
anjlthe Anderson Company to furnish
Council with copy of specifications of
phones, switch boards, wires, materials,
&c, to be put in by the Bell people.
Other guarantees are the same as un
do? old frnnchise.
When the motion for adoption wns
made and the subject was opened for
discussion it was plainly evident that
the Aldermen present were a unit for
its adoption. Not one of them appear
ed to care to discuss anything save
minor details in completing the ordi
nance. It was also plainly evident
that Mayor Tolly was opposed to the
adoption of the ordinance and, after
waiting a reasonable time for remarks,
he arose, apparently laboring under
some excitement nnd in vigorous terms
entered his protest. He took tho posi
. tton first, that, in as much as the term
of the present Council will expire in
.about three weeks, they should not
pass on so important a matter; it had
the appearance of too much hurry and
no harm could result from the short
?delay which would put it in the hands
of the new Council. Second, that
, seven-eighths of the people were op
.posed to any change that would force
?ligher rates upon them. Third, that
the present franchise was solemn
contract made for ten years between
the people and the telephone company,
and he was opposed to annulling it.
Some of his remarks were slightly per
sonal and rather caustic and drew
short-spirited replies from each of the
Aldermen. The motion for adoption
,aa pnt and carried; Mayor Tolly
-voted "no" and had it recorded in the
minutes. He then called Alderman
Itigon to the chair and left the hall
with the remark that he would never
sign the ordinance. It was signed by
Alderman Ligon as Mayor pro tern and
.the meeting adjourned.
IV hen the action of Council was
tmaAe known on the streets protests
were heard on almost every aide. On
^atusday a petition was circulated
.among the telephone subscribers ask
i ing Council to reconsider their action,
; and by way of emphasis, pledging them
: eelv?s to ,take out their phones in the
v<ovem C ouncil declined to reconsider.
t3Tf*ere were 01 names signed to the
T<?tition.
Injustice to the Aldermen voting for
the new franchise, it ahould be stated
. that there has been an unceasing com
plain* against the present phone sys
tem tor a long time, and in seeking to
better 111 ? - system tiny have been con
fronted by the telephone company
vith the statement that no better
service can in- given tor the money
ehargi d, and no city gets a better ser
vice for the rates charged; to make it
better a change of system is absolutely
necessary, ami to make the change an
increased charge is absolutely neces
sary.
By the time the next Council goes
into oliiee, public sentiment will have
ivstalizcd. the people will know what
they want and a remedy will be found,
as in all other similar cases. There is
some talk of establishing an indepen
dent line by the citizens.
A franchise was also granted to the
Hell people to construct lines in the
city, but no powers to conduct busi
ness were granted. It is understood
that there is a contract covering a
period of seven years between the Hell
people ami the Anderson Company.

A Veteran Correspondent Dead.
Mr. Eccles Cuthbert, who for tho
last eight years has been the Washing
ton correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, died on Sunday night, 18th

Confederate army during the war be
tween the States, and for a long time
after the war he was connected with
the New York Herald as its news
manager in the South, with headquar
ters in Richmond. This is a concise
statement concerning a man who ren
dered important service to South Caro
lina in the campaign of 1876. He was
a native of Ireland, and when he was
seventeen or eighteen years old he
came to Anderson, S. C, with an un
cle, who was contractor for the beauti
ful stucco work of the Baptist Church
then in course of erection. The writer
was editor of the Anderson Gazette at
that time, and young Cuthbert con
tributed a descriptive article to its
columns which was highly praised in
the community. This was the first
article he overwrote for a newspaper,
and he received so much encourage
ment in Anderson that he decided to
engage in this work.?Greenville
