The Chester News is reading the <
""riot act" to its merchants for send- i
ing their printed matter to northern 1
and western states. The News says it i
is "spending more money in the city I
of Chester than is paid it by the '
people of Chester" and for that
rason alone is entitled to a chance at !
the commercial printing of its town.,1
fPl?? XT * 1 1
?<? / ?tvmu iiiv news says is irue.j'1
But The News is not the only news-,1
paper in the state that suffers from Jthe
ingratitude or indifference or
whatever you may call it of its merchants
and business men. Fifty per j
cent ol the printed matter used in I
the state comes from the north and |
west- It is printed on thc sanie(t
presses, from the same material and (
|
S?y the same class of workmen as l
one will find in this state and is every <
whit just as good in point of price, i
quality and appearance. Personally i
ve have no complaint to make along i
this line, but we have often wonder-j
ed how long and loud a western or j
northern merchant would laugh if a i
southern man should solicit his print- |

.SI AM CHANCE FOR REDUCTION1!
IN PHONE RATES. j'(
The recent decision of Judge Henry |!
A. M. Smith in the case of Miller,
-against the Telephone Company j*
shows conclusively that the fight ^
against the increase in telephone
rales must bc made before the rail -,1
read commission and not in the 1
courts. .J
Time and again the United States,'
Supreme Court lias held that the fix-1(
iijf? oT rates by a public service cor- 1
poration is a governmental function,
and the power of a municipality to <
??>ulract in connection therewith will i
"not be presumed, but nmst be given ' I
in express language. It has also re-|C
peatedly held that where the rights of(t
an individual or set of individuals, 1
come into conflict with the public
welfare, those rights, even though |t
fixed by contract, must give way. |>
Dillon and Hartsville have the^t
same contracts with the telephone i
rxnnpany, and even though the con- t

law, and Judge Smith's decision could'
not have been otherwise.
In the lust half a century the U.i'
3 Supreme Court has handed down
numerous decisions on this quest ion. I1
nut the clearest one probably is that
nf the Union Dry Goods Company of;'
Macon against the Georgia Public:'
Service Corporation.
This was a case in which the Geor-j,
sia Pubilc Service Corporation nnd'(
the Union Dry Goods Company were,
t>eth corporations organized under
the laws of the state of Georgia and
loing business in Macon. They contracted
together in writine- for ?i
3? five years, the former to supply
electdic light and power to the lattei,
which agreed to pay stipulated
rates for the service. j
The contract was performed for
almost two years when the Dry.
Goods Company refused to pay a
bill for services rendered, in which]
a higher rate than that of the contract
was charged. The service cor-;
liorution claimed that this rate was
authorized and required by an order
at' the Railroad Commission of Georgia
after investigation and hearing.J
Soon thereafter the dry goods'
company commenced a suit to
compel specific performance of its
icntract, which had three years to
run; to enjoin the service corpora
ion from charging the higher rate,;,
ind from executing a threat to cum
t off from a supply of electricity be-j
ause of failure to pay the increased;
ate.
The trial court and the supreme|<
:ourt of Georgia both held against J'
ilaintiff and the case was taken to!'
the Federal Court. One of the two
laims considered by the court was
.hat the order of the commission vioated
the obligation of the contract.
The court held that the law giving
ho commission the right to regulate ;
*as in force when the contract was
ntered into and the presumption was
11 favor of the validity of the order,
here being nothing to show that it

was not reasonable. Said the court:
"Tha? private contract rights :nust
yield to the public welfare, where
the latter is appropriately declared
nnd defined, and the two conflict, has
bet i, often decided by this court. Oil'1
whose rights, such as they are, and
subject to state restrictions, cannot
remove them from the power of the
state by making a contract about
them. Contracts must be understood
is made in reference to the possible
exercise of th0 rightful authority of
ilie government, and no obligation of
i contract can extend to the defeat
jf legitimate government authority."
The language of the preceding
paragraph makes it very clear that
liny further effort to reestablish rates
by appealing to the court would be a
useless waste of time and money. The
fight must be carried before the railroad
commission in whom is vested
absolute authority to regulate rates in
a dispute between a public service
icrporution and a municipality, an
individual or a corporation composed
of individuals.
If it can be shown that the rates
are excessive or that the telephone
company is extravagant in the management
of its properties or is earning
either in salaries or dividends
more than a fair return on its money,
the railroad commission will restore
the former rates. If this cannot
be shown the rates will stand? ami
there is no appeal except to thc. Interstate
Railroad Commission ? and
this would be u hopeless undertaking.
