Mayor R. M. Kennedy, Jr., says that the reduction is not in keeping with what the city had expected and they will press for a further reduction. The War On ('annua Early in the game, we said thai Bishop Cannon should t>e forced to strip his holy robes. The ianger the stench lasts the worse it will be. Let the war continue until the Methodist church is purged of the disease. It was cowardly in the big Dallas conference to back away from its plain duty. His spiritual influence is gone. He is also an execresence upon the church. The knot sadly needs the scalpel. As an opporent of liquor, we believe he is sincere. Let him remain there. He is able. He is a fighter. He can't throw too many monkey wrenches into the Raskob machine. The more, the better for the country. As u minister, with clean skirts, a little politics on the side would not damn him. The others, in ajl churches do it, more or less. Often more. Hut no gambler has any business wielding the holy gavel. The sheep will not tamely submit to that. ?-Calhoun Times. Signs of Better Business Big mercantile concerns throughout the country are preparing for good business thus fall and winter. They are adding many thousands of employees, and that they would not he doing unless they clearly foresaw definite signs of a business revival.

Lower Power Rates Granted To Camden I Wholesale electric power ratea to the towns of Camden and Bumbqjrg were ordered reduced approximately 20 per cent, yesterday morning hy the state cailroud coinmiHsion. The new rates in Camden are effective after October 30 and those in Bamberg apply to the new contract that must be executed when the present contract expires in November. Decisions in both cases came after arguments and testimony had been presented l^efoie the comrnossion at u scries of hearings. July 23 the town of Bamberg and the South Carolina Power .company locked horns when the town demanded that it be given a substantial decrease in .its rates and that it be allowed to redistribute the local small consumers. large cotton mill, located just outside of the city limits, refused to make a contract with the town, deciding to purchase directly from the company. Subsequent hearings were conducted before the commission July 27 and July 20 and September 23. The new rate to the town wholesale will be: First 10,000 kwh per month at $1.50. Next 20,000 kwh per month ^|t $1.45. Next 20,000 kwh per month at $1.40. Next 20,000 kwh per month at $1.35. Excess 20,000 kwh per month aV $1.30. This same rate will apply to Camden, tile percentage of reduction in Camden being slightly smaller than in Bamberg because more power is used in the larger Kershaw county tow n. The Carolina Power and Light company, serving the Camden territory was charged by the town with selling the electric power at too high a rate July 24. At a hearing on this date the town authorities cited figures to show their contentions while the power company claimed that the rates were just. In both towns a consumer, under the orders of yesterday, must pay for GO 2-3 per cent, of' the maximum amount contracted for on a bi-monthly basis.
