At every fire and during every Btorm the bell telephone system suffers damage, destruction and delay. During the recent storm of snow, sleet, ice and wind the system in this city had 142 troubles in addition to the line pole troubles, but by the prompt and efficient efforts of Supt. West and his linemen theso troubles were all properly adjusted and all the wires and poles replaced and phones in working order in the short space of 24 hours. It is awfully exasperating, aggravating and harrassing to take down , ^ ' the receiver and get no response; a dead phone, wires down, no con-! ncction when you wanted so special-' ly to ask your neighbor a few ques-! tions about what happened tho day and night beforo. One is ready to have the whole system taken out i and another put in. Such is life. I ITT :c Us IHiriiii YELLOW fi TICKET 0 BAY, FEI ^IS THE?*6 ST D EY - COPEL UNION, S. C.

In speaking ? for her brother John and her sister ' Lelitha, I would ask the public to be generous in our sister's behalf and allow us, with her consent and c presence, to arrange all interest 1 that may be due our sister, Pauline, 1 and shut out the 'jack leg' attorneys t and sharks who are endeavoring to t cause dissension.

Or is its animosity so deep seated against fue Times that it cannot be just? teccntly it has caught at every traw, real or imaginary, that the neddlcsome brain and inquisitive leek of its editor could grasp. In his week's issue it hikes up our ditorial of last week on the bond jsue and says which ideas of ours re right and which are wrong, and spouses the cause of the commisioners. The telephone is convenient nd had he cared to be just, could lave learned from us what we had o say on the subject this week by sking, as our editorial was in print efore Progress went to press. Hut o, he thought to gain some nd-1 antage (in what way we cannot nagine) and has only made an ss of himself. j Mr. Neal, wo will say for the ike of argument, may be a first lass civil engineer, but the fact relains the same, that the commisioncrs are starting a work for which iiey are asking the people to vote 100 0( l() of IiaiwIc %wl Urttm ?w v j v/\/v v? uvuuo tlilU IlilYU 1 LI 11 ork without enough executive bility to employ an engineer.

ONESVILLE GUARDS WILL DISBAND. eing Composed Mostly of Farmers, They Will be Unable to Attend Saturday Drill Without Some Compensation. Joncsville, Jan. BOtli.?The snow nd sleet was about two inches ccp, but it is getting away.

"TneVflVviTle Guards have notied Gov. Hcyward that they will of ecessity have to disband, from the ict that they arc unable to comply ith the late requirement in drilllg. The company is made up in irgc part by farmers and they can't pare the time to attend the Saturay drills without some compensaion and it seems that the Legislate has set down on any approprition for the State militia, hence lie necessity for the company to isband. I agree with your views, Mr. alitor, expressed in last week's 'imes under the caption, "Bonds )r Road Building." We had bct2r go rather slow and try the coniiiissioners with the ten thousand nd see what the result might be. have for some time been in favor f the County having a civil cngieer for the purpose of laying off lie roads and putting them in bet?r shape, and then it might be well fter that was done to ask for a irger appropriation or bonds for hat purpose.
