Glory Be to the Communications Commission A report promised by the Federal Communi cations Commission and urging drastic regula tion of alleged monopolistic tendencies within the sprawling American Telephone and -Tele graph Company and recommending a 25 per cent slash in telephone rates is eagerly await ed by the public who has been victimized by an organization incorporating characteristics not a great deal unlike those possessed by one Jesse James, the robber, thief, outlaw, crook The telephone trust, apd it should be remem bered that the little telephone companies arej not included, is one organization that has lord ed it over the public year after year, dictating its own rules and regulations and establishing rates considerably higher than those chargeo by tlie power utilities for their services Rules and regulations rammed down the throats of a helpless public by the telephone magnates are mockery to the freedom of the people There hangs in Williamslon's fire depart ment an extension bell The rental fee is 50 cents a month About four or five times a month, on an average, the Carolina Telephone Company has to furnish Juice and power to ring that bell. For furnishing that ringing serv ice and supplying the bell that certainly should not cost to exceed $15, the company collects $6 a year Now. if that does not sound like robbery w hat does' The rental fee. telephone engineers . nd subordinates, admit that the rate is exorbi tant T!h-ii there is the installation fee m addition to this lee and that fee. including a messenger lee which they add every now and then to an unreasonable toll fee. Then these is the report i barge on a call that is never completed. When the head of an established family passes away making a directory listing change necessary, they charge- an extra dollar. If such practices as these, not to mention J t? any otliers that are common among the big telephone bovs. do not need investigating and remedying, then it is time for the government to fold its hands and tell the people the tele phone trust is too big for it to handle.

It seems that St Stephen was selected with si* others, as a priest out of the Lord's seventy disciples He was an able and resourceful preacher. Many leading persons belonging to. Jew ish synagogues entered into alter cations with him. but he. by the soundness of his doctrine, and the strength of his arguments, over* came them all, which irritated and contused them, that they bribed false witnesses to accuse him oi being carried before the council, he Liaspneming God and Moses He made an eloquent and noble defense which so much irritated his judges that they resolved tp condemn him. At this instance Stephen saw a vi sion from heaven, which represent ee* Jesus in his glorified state, sit ting at the right hand of God. This vision so greatly rejoiced him, that he exclaimed, in raptures, ' Behold 1 see the heavens open, and the son of man - standing on the right hand of God This caused him to be con demned. and having dragged him out of the city, the cruel /nob ston ed hixr. to death ' On the spot where he was mar (vied.
