It is sa d that Dantzier, ine urangeburg
negro, is preparing to. again
contest the seat of Congressman
Lever. The only thing in these contests
is the fees allowed by congress,
and that is what Dantzler and his
negro lawyer are after. In fact, we
have little doubt but that the lawyer,
Moorer, is the prime mover in this
contest business. A stout buggy
trace properly administered would
be the best means' of stopping this
sort of "graft," and we commend it
to the white people of Orangeburg.
Recently The Herald received a
proposition from an advertising
agency, offering ten passes to the
i Jamestown Exposition in exchange
for at least one hundred dollars worth
|: ' of advertising. Of course the proposition
went into the waste basket
without a reply. This newspaper
and the press*of South Carolina have
?: been liberal in the use of space for
I the exploitation of the Exposition?
not for any financial reward or passes
but from patriotic impulses. But if
the management is to adopt the
method of handling their advertising
through a crowd of cut throat
agents, for our part they will get
nothing from us. We do not mind
advertising the Exposition free, but
we have absolutely no use for advertising
agents." In fact they have
? ' given lis untold trouble in the past
and we have discontinued business
with all of them. People who want
to get into our columns now must
j|'. make contracts direct, for the only
way we do business with advertising
agents is on the cash-m-advance basis.
| OUR TELEPHONE SYSTEH.
aj$- * /The people of Bamberg have a
pf * right to better telephone service
| than they are getting and they should
I? demand it. There are several grounds
?| of complaint which should be remet
died and that right speedily. The
| \ . Bell Telephone Company has a
monopoly here, as they bought out
the two old systems. In a short time
they raised the rates, and one now
$' pays $2.50 a month for a business
'phone on a straight line, that is, an
independent line, or for this service
at a residence, $2.00 is charged. For
residence phones on party lines the
rate is $1.50, and for business 'phones
on party lines the price is $2.00 a
Rj; \ month. For a town this size $2.50 is
entirely too much for a business
phone, and the company should not
be allowed to put in party lines either
for business houses or residences.
They are a nuisance, is our experience,
and we believe most of those
who have them here will agree with
us, for they are out of order a good
part of the time. The plan is to put
several 'phones on one line, and not
to ring but one phone at a time and
that the number wanted. .Very often
you ask for a number on a party line
| and the wrong 'phone rings. Often
has the writer been called to the
'phone at his house only to find that
people on the same line were wanted.
Then, too, in order to make this
party line work, the bell on the 'phone
is set so far apart that one cannot
t ;
hear it ring unless you are near the
'phone, There is no question but
that party line service is very unsatisfactory
and the company should be
compelled to put in a separate line
for every customer. Payment for
'phone service is required in advance,
and yet often your 'phone*is out of
fix for several days arid you get no
Of course vou are Dromised
that if you do not get service you
will get the proper deduction, but
we know of cases where the 'phone
#was out of fix during the month and
the regular bill came in just the
same. We will warrant that few
deductions are paid. Our people
should refuse to pay for service
before they get it, and if the company
doesn't like this, let them quit
the town.
The electric light plant commenced
running last Saturday night a week
ago, and since that time the 'phone
service has been simply horrible, especially
after the lights are turned
on in the afternoon. One can hardly
V"
:
*
; -r\ *
N
hear anything at all, and to attempt
to converse over the 'phone after the
lights are on is very unsatisfactory.
Then, too, we have rang several j
places during the day time recently,
only to be informed that the 'phone;
wanted was out of order. We don't
know what other people call this sort
of thing, but we call it poor service,
and our people are paying for good
service. - What are we going to do
about it? Are we going to keep on
paying in advance for service we do
not get, or will we demand fhat we
get what we pay for?
The company has a lot of poles at
the depot, which the manager informs
us are to be used in rebuilding
the lines in town, but this work has
been promised since last spring. If
the company is to rebuild so as to
give us good service, it is getting
high time they were about.it.
