Miss Laura Lancaster has accepted
a position with the new firm of
Hutchinson & Wicker. She is
boarding at the home of Mr. G. B.
Sligh on Church street.
Don't forget tho performance of
Union Dramatic Club Wednesday
_ night, 7th inst. The most laughable j
comedy ever acted in this opera |
WF house. Proceeds will go to the i
Confederate monument fund.
The Union System of the Bell Telephone
Service.
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

i
Gaflt'ney, Jan. 31.?Judge J. E. 1:
Webster gave the following state- f
ment to the press tonight. This
statement is correcting an interview I
your correspondent had with Judge (3
Webster a few; days ago. Since
that time the judge has discovered t
he was in error and states accord- <]
ingly in the statement. The statement
follows: \
"Since the interview with .Tudcre >
J. E. Webster, which was published $
recently in several daily papers, re- j
ferring to Pauline Webster, of Kan- I
sas City, Mo., later information e
from unquestionable sources causes i
me to welcome the glad news that
my sister, Pauline, who was so long J
thought of as dead, is living. 1
While I regret the circumstances i
under which this fact has been presented
to me and my brother and t
sister, we stand ready to extend her I
any financial assistance she may v
need and welcome her to her old c
home and associates. 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. We are fully f
competent and capablo of handling

0 OUR CONTEMPORARY, "PROGRESS."
Has our contemporary ascended
o the level of an organ? 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

ork without enough executive
bility to employ an engineer. The
nly one they ever employed viewed
be premises, did 110 work and re- j
-lrned home, making 110 charges, '
3 we arc informed hy the sup risor.
There is great economy in
:ee work, lost time, etc.
Save us from our friends. More

ONESVILLE GUARDS WILL DISBAND.

"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.
