IXCRKASK NOT L1KKI). Graenville Business Men's licaguc Fights Telephone Hates. Greenville, Nov. 13.?Opposition to ui increase in local telephone rates; which is being developed here by the! Young Men's Business league, is j meeting with remarkable response j from the citizens of the city as is shown by individual statements of j local telephone conditions which are; beginning to arrive at the business i league office. The business league has adopted j the uniq,ue policy of a referendum j rote of its membership to get an idea of public opinion. Questionnaires on ; telephone service were sent out Fri-; day night and at 6 o'clock this even- j ing 92 answers had been received. I Only one of the respondents favored an increase in rates and he is working for another public utility corporation. The business league is attempting to consolidate opposition to an in- j crease in rates because of alleged in-; efficiency of local service. The public utility committee of the organization, which began the movement, notified local telephone officials that the league would oppose any increase j in rates until there was an improve-! ment in service, but in the event serv-' ices were improved the question of j aa increase would be considered. The; telephone company is to ask for an increase in rates at a meeting before the railroad commission of South Carolina on December 5. ? ^ im> ^ Are We Blinkies Downhearted? One of the advertising posters put oat by the American Red Cross for the fourth membership roll call, there is shown the picture of a smiling, but eye-bandaged soldier, seated in a wheel chair, and opposite an eager Red Cross nurse, whose softly compassionate face tells of the grief that is her's. Underneath appears this phrase: Let a blind soldier speak to you? Close your eyes for a moment. Then imagine that, for you, the rest of your life was to be one of perpetual night; no flowers, mo colors?just sounds and smells and feeling things with your fingers. That's blindness. But are we blinkies downhearted? NO! Not as long as Red Crofcs sticks around and sees ? a fellow through! If there car}1 be anything more appealing than this, so full of heart. breaking pathos, so pregnant with the hope that springs eternal in the j human breast, and yet so eloquently j endorsing the humane work of the j Red Cross, it has not been pictured | or printed. And, as this striking poster puts ! it, "your Red Cross does just that? i ticks around and sees a fellow through." Further, Red Cross is helping every blinded or partially blinded man in the great war, training them for mseful occupations of a self-supporting kind. It is your Red Cross membership and the other fellow's Red Cross membership which carries on this and every other great work being performed by American Red Cross. This paper believes in American Red Cross endeavor,- both war and peace time, and it recognizes in it an institution that has made itself indispensable to American life. Renew that membership of yours today, or if you have never taken part in the great work, do so as a matter of national pride, if the personal equation of duty does not find lodgment in you. The fourth Red Cross roil can is under way. Renew your membership. If you are not a member, become one before the sun goes down today or as soon as it rises again. The consciousness of being an assistant functioner in every Red Cross undertaking is a possession really worth while. CAVE-IN KILLS TWO MEN. A Mother Severely Injured in Accident Near Gaffney. Gaffney, Nov. 10.?Michael Weiss < and Clifford Kirby were killed in the American Mineral company s mines, about three miles from Gaffney, and a young man named Philbeck was severely injured when a tunnel in which they were working caved in at about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The men were working twenty feet under ground in what is known as the old lead mine, it is said. Mr. Weiss's home is in Xanticake, Pa., and he was about 25 years of age, and had only been in Gaffney a few weeks. Messrs. Kirby and Philbeck both lived in Gaffney. The mine has only been in operation a short time and W. Y. Davie, who is the superintendent of the work, says the accident was unavoidable. Coroner Vinsenett has empannelled a jury and will hold an inquest tomorrow morning. A telegram has been sent to the brother of Weiss informing him of the death of his brother and as to disposition of the remains. jj^ TBAD1 [ Farm ITher are many tractors cl farmer.
