THB TBLBPHONB SITUATION. Newberry to Have Good Telephone Ser vice-Long Distanve:Connection With Outside World Through the Bell Company. The Southern Bell Telephone Coni ' pany is evidencing its desire to giv Newberry a first-class telephone sye tem, by the active manner in which i is going over the local system recentl: purchased from Mr. Floyd, preparinj an estimate, which will show in detai every item of material necessary ti metallic circuit the plant, and install it system of long distance telephones The business men of the city are mani festing their desire to see the Bell Comn * pany in operation here by signing petition which is being circulated by Mr. R. D. Smith, which petition, if ac. cepted by the Bell Compar,y, will be ir effect a contract on its part to furnis} first-class service at the rates mentioned therein- which - rates are the same charged in other towns of this size-for a period of five years. A reporter for The Herald and News saw Mr. J. Epps Brown, special agent of the Bell Company, who authorized the following statement: "The Southern Bell Telephone Com pany, as I have previously stated, pro poses to give the subscribers here first class telephone service, to do which will require the immediate expenditure o a oonsiderable sum of money. To this end a competent construction man has been here for the past few days, going carefully over every route in the city, obtaining the data from which will be prepared at once an estimate showing every item of material necessary to metallic circuit the entire local plant, put in a new switchboard and install long-distance Bell instruments at each and every station-business and resi dence. Immediately following the com pletion of this estimate, the required material will be ordered, and upon its receipt, the actual work of rebuilding the plant will proceed without delay. When this work is comp!ei and , new service is noted, I apprehend an m1; increase of 25 per cent. in the number of subscribers now connected with the exchange. This has been the experience elsewhere where the Bell Company has gotten hold of local plants, rebuilt them and furnished improved service--and as Newberry is one of, if not the best, place on earth, I see no reason why this should not be the result here. "All parties who own their own lines, and connect with the local system here will be allowed to continue these con nections-except that the Bell Company will furnish them telephones instead of having them furnish their own instru ments. This will give them much bet ter service than they now get. The only thing we will insist upon is that they will keep their lines in good shape, so as not to depreciate our local service. Unlimited service will also becontinued between Newberry and Prosperity. "The long distance lines will be cut into the central office just as soon as practicable and a booth installed so that those desiring to do so, can get the use of the long distance lines. After the local plant is rebuilt, these lines will be cut into the switchboard and any sub scriber can then talk from his residence or business station without going to a pay station." In reply to a question as to the result of the Bell Company having a monopoly, SMr. Browvn said: * "I can best answer your question by *{asking you to note the result in those towns and cities where it now has and has always had, wvhat is termed a mo .nopoly. In those p)laces, which are ~Tumerous, the subscribers are entirely >atisfied with our service and our rates, 'being willing to p)rofit by the experience of n.umerous other towvns which have tried the expensive experiment of two c'ompanies. In Rome, Griffin, Newnan, Athens, Macon, Columnbus, Americus, flbany, Thomasville, Ga., in Mont gomery, Gadsden, Anniston, Troy, Q peleka, Ala., Pensacola, Fla., andl In numerous other towns and cities, the ell Company has always had the field xclusively, and notwvithstanding the 4'ak you hear about the monopolistic . ndencies of this institution it remains Sfact that in none of the towns men loned have rates been made dlifferent Som rates in other towns and cities of milar size. In Columbus, Ga., and ensacola, Fla., towns in the same class ith reference to size as Columbia, S. .the rates are the same in each - and t in the twvo former the Bell Comn nny has always had the field exclu vely, and in Columbia there is a corn ting company. In Americus, Ga., ith the exclusive field, the rates are e unmve as at Spartanburg, a town of mihur size, where until recently there as a competing company. Further, in all of the above mentioned towns where the Bell Company has had the exclusive field, the lalnts have all been periodi cally rebuilt, in order to keep up the ser vice. Tpalk is cheap, but it takes facts to back it up) --not idlle predictions. "'The Southern Bell Company pro poses to give goodl service, at rates wvhich they know, (not think) are en tirely reasonable -anid the complete and absolute financial failure of so many in (dependent comp)anies who try to (o1i for less, only substantiates our state ments that first-class service cannot b< furnished for less, except at a loss o: money, and while the Southern Bel Company is anxious to furnish the ver: best class of service it is not willing t (10 so for rates wvhich its long experienic has taught it would mean a loss o money. As to the petition, Mr. Brown sai that his company appreciated such evi patrons, and upon the presentation c this petition to his company, the sam would be officially acknowledged an accepted under the terms therein mer tioned. He said that at Spartanbur and Greenville, whare local companie were organized about rive years t supply service at lower rates, the sulb e scribers to both systems, had practical - ly unanimously signed petitions to th t Bell Company requesting the consolida y tion of the two systems in each plac r and agreeing to patronize exclusivel: I that company for five years. The worl ) of consolidation will proceed as fast ai 9 material arrives. VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT. Dr. D. L. Boozer, Jr., spent the past few days in Columbia.

Probably the most important busines: - transacted by the General Assembl3 - this week was the action of the Hous( in killing the Compulsory Educatior - Bills. Mr. Aull's Bill requiring the at tendance for sixteen weeks of each yew r of children between the age. of sever and twelve, came up as a special order on Friday. After discussion, the Ray sor Bill, requiring the attendance of children between the ages of eight and twelve upon the common schools for eight weeks of each year, was sub stituted for the Aull Bill. Messrs. Aull and Banks, of Newberry took part in the debate. Mr. Banks op posed the measure in a forcible and effective speech, on the ground that the parent, and not the State, is the most competent judge of what is best for the child. Mr. Aull, as reported in the News and Courier, "made a forci ble argument in favor of compul sory education, claiming that the wealth of the State is in the educated masses. He took up the matter of the education of the negro and showed that this was a useless bugaboo. He show ed that thirty-three states had com pulsory education laws and gave figures to show that since these laws had been adopted illiteracy had largely decreased. He took up the matter of a people's pro ductiveness, showing that it is propor tionate to intelligence. He was thoroughly posted on the whole mat ter." By a vote (: 60 to54 the Bill was indefinitely postponed, which ends the matter so far as this session is con cerned.

There were about a fifty teachers in attendance, showing by their presence and interest their desire to aid the cause of education, and to gain all the information possible leading to this end. It was a matter of general regret that Prof. E. B. Wallace, of Columbia, who was to have delivered an address, could not be present. Rev. S. H. Zim merman, of Central Methodist church addressed the teachers. His remarks contained thought that was of practical benefit to all in his audience, and he was listened to with close attention and his address highly appreciated. Jeter Gets Ball. Application for bail for J. D. Jeter, charged with breach of trust, was made before Judge James Aldrich Saturday morning. The State was represented by Hon. D. J. Baker, of Charleston, lion. F. H. Dominick, acting solicitor, and Hon. O. L. Schumpert. The de fendant was represented by Hon. Cole. L. Blease. Bail was granted in the sum of $1.000. It will be remembered that Sheriff Buford arrested Jeter here on Tuesday on a warrant sworn out by W. F. Nel son, of Charleston. It appears from Nelson's aflidavit that Jeter appro priated to his own use $500 given him by Nelson with which to buy cattle. That having appropriated the money he left. It seems that he came to New berry and opened up in business for himself, running a butcher shop.
