Don’t Be Frightened
About Pone Costs
Bills Sent Out By Company Coyer
Toll To January lfi. New
System.
Many local people who received
their telephone bills by mall last
week perhaps laid them down aft
er a glance with exclamations not
hardly fit to appear In print.
However, an examination of the
bill revealed, or would have re
vealed, that a new system of bill
ing Is merely being installed. If
your bill was higher than it was
last month it was solely because the
bill last week was for a month and
one-half instead of one month.
Hereafter bills will be sent out at
mid-month and to get the billing
straight the regular charges in last
week’s bill were for December and
for January through the 15th.
Mr. Jonas’ Error
And White-Haired
Gentleman Is Hit
Hickory Record.
When Congressman-elect Chas.
A. Jonas stated in Greensboro that
the Republicans would contest the
election of Major Stedman to the
fifth district he put himself in a
position to be hammered rather
heavily by the press of the state.
Mr. Harden, who opposed Major
Stedman, withdrew his charges
and the public was led to believe
that the affair was over. Nobody
wants to see a man cheated out. of
office but Mr. Jonas gave nothing
but vague statements in 'Greens
; boro and public sentiment is more
than apt to support the aged vet
eran who is regarded throughout,
the nation as the last of the Ro
mans.
If 3VTr. Jonas has definite- and
tangible charges to make he should
present them in the proper man
ner without any ballyhoo, but for
him to air his suspicions in the
manner that he did in Greensboro
last Saturday was an error in tact
which will do him no good.
The attitude which he has taken
is probably best summed up by
The Raleign Timet which is never i
sentimental, as follows:
“We cannot imagine that even a
partisan committee, of the house
will attempt seriously to connect j
him with fraud. Major Stedman. is
one of the Romans. His white head
never got a blow except as he held
it up in honor. Not, on’y in North
Carolina but in Washington he is'
held in an affection that is not go
ing to be remotely patient with
any such attempted revival ol poll-,
tical mopping-up tactics. As for Mr. j
Harden, lie may be an entirely es
timable gentleman. He may, lor all J
we know, be better qualified tech
nically to represent his district than
is Major Stedman. It is even pos
sible that it we could go into all
the details of the voting it might
be shown that perhaps Mr. Harden
was the nominee, and not Major
Stedman, as the returns indicate
“All that aside, it is. odds of an
hundred to one that Major 8ted
man, who has spent a lifetime in
fighting fairly, ran into no moral
debacle in his old age. Whoever
geriously attempts to unseat him
can count upon a tremendous crop
