Four supporters of Do. Valora
tackled a mooting 'of Free State ad-.
hi?ronta in the Montak Thaatro in
Brooklyn Sunday night and managed,
to enliven it considerably before they I
were tarried out bodily. A press dis
patch from New York tells the story
an follows:
The meeting was one called by the
rian-Na-Gael in honor of the, 14Bth
anniversary of the birth of Robert
Kmmet. The Clan-Na-Gaol in a free
State organisation. Chas. ,J, Dodd,

S and Justice Daniel F. Cohalan,
vl' the supreme court.
i he l)e Valera men were Martin
Mi Namara, of 1G13 Quincy . street,
Brooklyn; Paddy Moran, ?of 151 Clay j
avenue, the Bronx; Enjmett O'Toole,
who said he lived at the Hotel
America, in West Forty-sevont.n
.street, and Egan Clancy, who said
ho was a brother of George Clancy,'
lord mayor of Limerick, who was
killed by the blaek and tans.
Mr. Dixid huil finished speaking
aiul Mr. Gjace was in the midst of
an of Irish patriots and had
enumerated Roboi t &mm6t and \V<>1 1'
Ton? when McNamara decided it
v. as timet to start something. Klsing

"V'ut him out," roared a score of
eagor voices, and as many eager vol
unteers started up the gallery aisle,
rtear the head of which straddled the
short and chunky figures of Martin
McNamara.
The McNamara fists flew out?one,
two, like piston rods, and down the
aisle rolled the first two volunteers,
tripping: some of the others and cum
bering the attack to such an extent
that McNamara strode forward and
seemed to be on the point of driving;
his assailants right over the' balcony
rail when ht? was seized from behind
and carried out, fighting' and yelling
to the last.
Behind the group that carried him
pelted Clancy, Moran and O 'Toole, in
tent upon the hopeless task of rescue.
Half a dozen police from the Butler
street station were in the lobby and
took charge of the quartet. They
wore ejected without any charge be
ing made against any of them and the
mooting went on (vithout further
trouble. . ? ' .

IN a previous advertisement we reviewed the records and plans of the
Southern Bell Company as a whole, showing that the development dur
ing 1922 in this section was tremendous and set new high records; that
the total investment at the beginning of 1923 was forty-eight million dollars,"
and that thousands of new telephones were added.
South Carolina'* telephone growth
last year also established now records
and required tho best efforts of a
splendid organization.
The gross additions to the telephone
plant In South Carolina during 1922
amounted to $1,102,405.90 and 5,632
new telephones were installed. There
were 4,526 discontinuances, leaving a
net gain of 1,106 telephones.
There are 54 Southern Hell ex
changes in South Carolina with 32.
690 telephones and connecting with
16,328 telephones uf other companies
In the state.
Approximately 265,800 local calls
were handled daily in South Carolina
and there were approximately 1,535,
600 originating lon? distance calls dur
ing the year.
South C&rolina's telephone system
contains about 75,249 miles of wire
of which 15,369 miles are used for long
distance purposes, and there are 73,
438 poles.
The telephone plant in South Car
olina reprqwenta an investment of
$6,644,553 and is built, maintained and
operated by 597 employes whose aij
nual pay roll is $585,054.
These workers ail live in South Car
olina and most of them are native

at home for food, clothing, rent, light,
heat and taxes Just as you spend your
salary.
Tho plans for the growth and' devel
opment of tho telephone system In
South Carolina for the next five years
are such that the skill and energy of
the telephone organization will bo tax
ed to the utmost.
The magnitude of the plans may bo
imaginod when it is stated that $2,882,
000 of new money will be required in
South Carolina alone during the next
five years.
In this stale it is estimated there
will be a net growth of 14,013 new
telephones during this period which
will mean the installation of 37,757
new telephones and the discontinuance
of 23,744 telephones.
This general expansion has already
begun. The plans for this year have
been made and the necessary capital
arranged for, though much will de
pend upon the ability of tfce manufac
turers to deliver the equipment and
material.
The growth of the telephone Hyu
tem in South Carolina during 1923 will
require $496,000 in new money, to pay
for work which must be done in all
sections of the state.
It is ostimatcd that during this year
5,505 new telephones will be installed,
3,673 discontinued, making a net gain
of 1,832 telephones for the year.
This acomplishment will give South
Carolina a total of more than 35,254
telephones.
The telephone workers in South Car
olina approach their big - task cheer
fully, confident of accomplishing it
to your satisfaction. ?.
They are encouraged by your evi
dence of good will in the fair treat

VICTORY FOR YANKEE BLUFF
How Turkish Officials Were Induced
to Consent to Establishment of
Robert College.
llohort collide, near ('onstnotinople,
was founded by the munificence of a
New Vork . merchant, Christopher Koli
ei't, some sl\t> years ago, to extend
and perpetuate the educational work
ofc the American missionary, 1 M\ Ham
lin.
The project did not commend It
self to the Turkish authorities. I>r.
Hamlin was allowed to purchase a
site, but permission to build was re
fused for nearly twenty years, despite
the protests of the Tinted States gov
ernment.
? At last the projectors gained their
end by bluff. An American battle-,
ship visited Oonstantlnojile, and they
induced the commander, when (lifting
with some of the chief officers of
state, to demand why permission was
not granted to erect the college. As
anticipated, this was taken as a new
I hint from the I'nlted States, hacked
by the sending of a warship, and the
long-desired permit was received with
in 24 hours.

Football Then and Now.
If you think that football Is a
rougher game now than In the past,
read this paragraph written In 1582:
"As concerning football playing, it
may he culled rather a friendly flght
tlign a play or recreation ; a bloody,
murdering practl<Je than h fellowly
sport or pastime. For doth not every
one lie in wait for his adversary,
seeking to overthrow him and to pitch
him on ills nose, though if be upon
hard stones . ... or what place
soever It be he enreth not, so he have
him down And lie that can serve
the most In this fashion, he Is count
ed ?he only fellow, Hnd who hut he."

Editorial Troubles.
The (roubles of an editor in a small
town arc many. Heckles the difficul
ties, inherent in making up his pa
per satisfactorily', he often has to live
up to a reputation for limitless knowl
edge, For many persons he is an
uracie, and the column, headed
"Notes and Querie#," or something
similar, is his mouthpiece: A Wes
tern paper received a communica
tion bearing pertinently on this mat
ter. It ran as follows;
"Dear Editor: Will you kindly in
form me by return mail what number
of seed are contained in a seventy
three to seventy-five- pound pumn
kin, as I "Wish to settle an argument."
A parallel to this request lies in an
unhappy experience of an editor who
one morning received two letters from
subscribers. The first, an anxious
father, wrote to find out the best way
to bring up his twin babies in
health and happiness, while the oth
er; a farmer, wanted to - know the
quickest method of getting rid of
grusshoppers.
The editor hesitated; then, out of
the fullness of his knowledge, he
wrote two letters in reply. Hut in
the haste of business he put the let
ters into the wrong envelopes.
The next morning the father of
| the twins received this interesting
answer: ?%-,
"Coy or them carefully with straw
! it till sot fire to it. After jumping
in the flames a few moments the 1 it
tie pests will be speedily done for."
! Ami the man who wan troubled with
grasshoppers was hidden to' "Give
eastor oil regularly in moderate
doses arnica- lib their gums with bone." '
Five thousand American negroes,
according to a New York dispatch,
will dig French reparations out of tile
Ruhr. Arrangements to have this
number of expert black West Virginia

'? nion of Germany have been com
, pleted by the French government,

known detective. I)ougher!yv>rn land

Checking Account is
Business Recommendation
The best way to learn a person's standing and re
liability is to inquire of those with whom they do busi
ness.
Should someone inquire about the character and
reputation of another with whom you -transact bus
iness, the first question you ask yourself ? and it may
be subconsciously ? is, "Does he pay by check?" The
man who pays by cash may be as prompt and all that,
but, somehow, You Think First of the Man Who Pays
By Check. The check shows a certain substantial
connection and association.
Which man would you hire first: The man with a
bank account or one without that forethought and
care?
