It is to me unquestionably true that such a change would afford us more efficient service. The system would relieve us of a great number of the mistakes that are now so fre quently happening which renders the present system. disagreeable and in efficient to a great extent. Under the government it could be run on the plan cf the Post Office, depart ADDITIONAL The organ for the Episcopal church has been shipped and the makers promise to have it set up in time for Cristmas. The church hopes to have some fine .organist here to give the opening service. ; Mrs Lindsey expects her brother, Edwin Samuel Ely, and bride ne'e Carter, of Norfolk, Va., Friday. Mr E4y was recently married, his mother Mrs R M Ely of Tryon,, attended the ceremony. Paal Davis is quite proud of the fact that he climbed Tryon Mountain as far as Skyuka, with his little Saxonette car Sunday. Now he'll probably attempt the peak next. Sup pose he portaged the car where it was steep. Mrs Chas' Godshaw made a busi ness trip to Tryon the first of the week. Tf th clumbers dont hurry up and t-h Tlumbinjr in the graded school building the children vMl plumb forget all they have learned. The Jr O U A M, had a splendid meeting Tuesday evening when they discussed throughly the Moonlight School question. This order is using! !. .-nrvTQ to futher this in- aii i li ixix A. v i stitution and the members here Jn Tryon are going to see that all who need the instruction get to - ihe school house for It. There are a laout thirty her 1 town,.; , ' SCHOOL COURIER ment -and would be much , cheaper than it Is now. Charges by private companies are always high to insure a large profit, and public wellfare is not always regarded. ;Tf "transferred to government con trol, the joint use of postal employee and the use of the same buildings, and the combined use of telephone and telegraph on the same wire would render cheaper, quicker anf more satisfactory service. Government, ownership would mak international communication mud more available. Under control oi the government special delivery le; ters and even post cards could b done over the telegraph. As a social pleasure as well as i business proposition it would be i valuable benefactor. Not only h this true but it would also be a pro fiable undertaking for the govern ment because profits now go ng intc the hands of private companies would go into the public treasury. The services performed by tlu telephone and telegraph companies o the United States are of a publk nature and may become sufficient strong to be independent govern ment. Such corporations may weaker the power of government by con troling the legislative bodies to s certain extent, who would therefor; represent the corporations and no the people. I believe aH monopolie should be owned by the government The people should be freed from mon ey-making pufilic service corporation. The good results that have been e fected by the systematic working of the national government is suff! cient proof that the telephone ant telegraph service would be greatl. improved under it,s management Jt. would expand the Jines ; througt the rural districts throughcuT iht country and thereby render equal op portunities to the pooi class of pec pie and the wealthy who live ii the country to get a greater degree of social service. By law of 1866, the government, has a right to take posession of.th. telegraph, and I hope the time is not far distant when she will execut' that power, for it is clear to mj mind that the government should b;. all means have control of all meam of communications whatsoever. Thi: is an important question and shcuU be agitated by every progressive citizen of the United States. Ii if worthy of our consideration. It will be well worth, the effort that h wili take to get it. It is . indeed by m means a small matter but I see nc reasonable ground for objection. it has been tested in foreign nation', and proved very good, afifd if it has been successfully managed by othei nations it stands proved by the past history of our great United States of America that it can be very sue cessfully handled by our governmenl officials. i H W Hill. TRYON NEWS In reading exchanges, one constant ly comes upon names, "Which remin us" of some one in Tryon. This week's Youth's Companion says: It is said that the late Jacob Riis, when he was congratulated on his successful life, replied, "why I put myself in the way of things happen iag, and they happened, that's all." Meaning thereby, we1 suppose, that if he were runing an automobile he would put himself out a little to pick up people on the road and give them a lift or made himself useful in all kinds of seemingly small ways which lead to big things eventually and often unsuspectingly. In the same issue we read about the Medal of Honor given by the United States, for gallantry and intrepidity above his comrades, service that involved extreme jeopardy of life, or the per formance of extraordinarily hazar dous duty, a military decoration more difficult to earn than the em blem of the Legion of Honor, the' Victoria Cross or the Iron Cross, which, reminds us that Col Roach, USA, received that medal wh;le fiaTM'Tie- aeainst the Indians in the West.
