GREAT IMPROVEMENT MADE IN EQUIPMENT NEW TELEPHONE HOME OC CUPIED NO DIFFICULTIES Exactly at 10:25 O'clock Last] Night New Switchboards Want Into Service. Just exactly nt 10:2.'? o'clock last nicht thc old flwltch hoards of thc Southern Bril Telephone company tn Anderdon were discarded and thc complete new equipment in tho hand some new building on West Whittier street went into service. Not a sin gle> bitch occurred, not a thing turn ed up to Interfere with the p'ans pf thc company, and the lines were in operation after that minute as though no chango had eve- boen made. No Lolepbone subscriber was put t > one minute's inconvenience. Thc first message to go over the wires after the Chango waa made to the mayor of the city whon Manager Walter 8. Beatty called up J. H. Godfrey and advised him of thc chance and the next conversation was that of Mr. Beatty to The Intelligencer office. Thc now office is now working as M-.ouKh all of the equipment had seen mont li? of servlco instead of a few hours. Toe new building and equipment will, compare well with that enjoyed by any c-ther city In the South ard one of thc chief< officials of the com pany yesterday told a roporter f w Tho Intelligencer that lt lg consider ably better than that In uso in any town In the South of tho samo popu lation as Anderson. For days. Manager Beatty and tho 'local telephone officials have been retting ready for tho "cut over" of the lines. Yesterday thc following of ficials of the.company were in the city to Bee that nothing went wrong with tho plans: C. E. Woodruff, Jr., equipment supervisor, of Charlotte; J. D. Ball, traffics supervisor, of Char lotta; EL S. Davis, district traffic phief, of Greenville; B. Martin of At lanta, foreman for the Western Elec tric company; T. P. NelBon of Char lotte, division inspector of equipment; J. H. Weaver and A. L. Jones of Char lotte, inspectors; E. C. Yarborough of Charlotte, foreman. - Because of the fact that the 15*An doreen operators are not familiar witts tho new typo of switchboard, lt was necessary to hrln? ttm* operators here from Greenville. The new. operators will bc in Anderson until the local centrals have mastered tito new switchboard and are thor ?u?n?y tumtiiar with its workings. thanking yesterday of the chango, Manager Beatty said: "We have taken .ivory possible precaution, known to telephone science, to keep down all mistakes and errors in connection with tho moving ot the plant and if it ls possible we.do not intend caus ing, a- singlo subscriber to get a wrong connection or to have any difficulty in getting the parties they desire to talk to." Tho manager says that all circuits and switchboards have been tested and re-tcated by different Inspectors nod that if there ls one thing still out of place they do not know where it is. 'All of tho underground circuits have also been checked and re-check ed and this morning each one of An derson's 875 telephones should he working well. . Manager Beatty seid last night .that he would keep his entire force of linemen and other operators on duty - today and if ono single detail goes . wr.Y5g he will ho nhlo to " right ll within a few minutes. Anderson p?k>plo are proud ot U?e new telephone building and UV. spion did cquipmont and they have overy right to be. AUSTRIAN ARMY CUT OFF FROM GERMANS!
