“To be a good bone you first

“The gct-rlch-quick arhemea

Street Car Service
SUMMERVILLE SIDE OF HILL.
Tuesday morning, the 28th instant, street car
service will be resumed over both tracks on Walton
Way.
Street paving operations on this avenue have
materially interfered with car schedules for many
weeks. But with Walton Way "OPEN” for normal
traffic Thirteenth street (McKinne) will be the
only remaining route to be traversed by single
track.
When paving on this street is completed by the
City we will be able to resume the complete and
satisfactory schedule of March Ist. This, of
course, applies not only to the patrons on the Sum
merville side of the Hill, but to those on the Monte
Sano (southern) side, as well as to the Lake View’,
Turpin Hill and eastern parts of the lines.
We sincerely deplore the delays and annoy
ance caused passengers by torn-up streets, but wish
to make known the fact that the street car company
is up with its part of the work in this section of the
City and has cooperated fully with the City author
ities and paving contractors in an effort to com
plete this work with the least possible delay.

“If there were more good fisher
men, there would be fewer poor
poor fish.
“Fishing Is more than a sport—
It’s a philosophic exercise.”
Take these tips from one who has
found their application valuable to
dally life: James A. MeCulloh, who
rose from a 33-a-week clerk to
president of the New York Tele
phono Co.
When announcement recently was
made of his elevation to head of
this big concern, MeCulloh was in
the Maine woods on the trail of
trout. He has fish'd since he was a
barefoot boy, with sapling for rod
and pin for hook.
MeCulloh has developed great pa
tience. He has had to. There are 1,-
200,000 subscribers to the telephone
company he head*. Phone users nre
notoriously tho most Impatient of
humans.
All the great waves of complaint,
kicks, service troubles and the like
come breaking at his door, sooner
or later.
When such problems loom. Mc-
Culloli packs his rods and flies and
hooks and Ib off to the woods and
trout streams to blot prejudices and
impulses from his mind and gain
u fresh nnd detached viewpoint.
Thus far he has never failed to
find the correct answer.
And In building his life to suc
cess. this phllosophlv parallel has
been drawn with striking clarity.
Patience hns been an extremely Im
portant feature.
“I always wanted to build some
thing." he exclaimed. That takes
patience, ns any boy will tell you.
At the age of eight he waa swing
ing a miniature telephone across the
side yard. At 18 he was working for
a New Jersey railroad for $ a week.
Hlnce 1896 he has been patiently
fighting his way up.
Hut It was about four years ago
that his greatest trial was faced.
A veritable landslide of complaint
came upon the company. News
papers were campaigning and the

public was shrieking against poor
service. McCulloch took a careful
look at the situation and came out
with the amazing public admisnion:
"You’re right. Service Is rotten.
Something has to be done about It.
You’ve got to be Just a little pa
tient.”
Shortly afterward McCulloch ad
ded tills to his original statement:
“While the service is bad. we can’t
make It any better if every phone
user is going to take off the re
ceiver prepared to cuss at the op
erator. Things can’t get better If
a man stands at the receiver with
his fist "doubled ready to smash
something: He’s got to co-operate.”
And, today, recalling, the events
of the past, MeCulloh makes inter
esting observations on phone users;
“Poor phone service Is In a vast
number of cases the fault of the
Individual and not the company.
This isn’t an alibi. It’s a fact. I’ve
said that a fisherman had to be a
good sportsman; well, a phone user
has to he a better one .and he rare
ly Is. He goes to the phone and gives
the girl some incoherently uttered
number, nnd begins to curse when
she asks him to repeat It. Ten
cranks can absolutely ruin a fine
operator for the day.
“A phone office is the greatest
place In the world to study human
psychology. There you’ll see man In
all his unrensonab’c phases. It Is a
faot that ope can sit back in a
phone office and. without knowing
what Is going on In tho outside
world, almost prognasllcate the ups
and downs of mankind by the serv
ice reports. The war nnd its nftor
math proved that. We have never
known such systerlcal actions on
the part of the phone-using public
as marked those days.”

Corrects Statement About
Cost of Two New Schools
In yesterday’s issue of the Herald, the party who is
writing communications under the cover of "Advertise
ment” again makes the statement that the cost of the
Montc-Sano and Ilephzibah schools exceeded the author
ized amount $90,000. He does not state he understands
this to be so, but makes the positive statement that it is so.
As auditor of the Board of Education I wish to say that
this is absolutely untrue. In a letter published in the
Herald Sunday, the 19th, I gave the facts and figures, and
offered free access to the books to any one w’ho desired to
verify them; so he is evidently not seeking correct infor
mation, and why he does not avail himself of the privilege
given him I do not understand, unless it should be that
misrepresentation suits his purpose better than the truth.
This particular card to which 1 am replying is really
amusing. In one sentence the writer berates the Board of
Education for being unbusinesslike, and in another he
takes them to task for their not making public the cost of
the land for the new’ high school and submitting also ar
chitects’ plans and contractors’ estimates of cost of the
building. What prudent business man would first pro
ceed to purchase a lot and to incur the cost attached to
these things until he has made his financial arrange
ments? Surely he knows that when a prospective builder
employs an architect to prepare plans on which a con
tractor can make bids, he has to pay for these plans
whether he ever uses them or not.
It affords me pleasure tp state to him and to the pub
lic that I am reliably informed that the Trustees of the
Richmond Academy are williiur to combine their corpus,
approximately SIOO,OOO, with the $300,000 derived from
the sale of bonds, making a total of $400,000 with which
to purchase a site and erect the Richmond Academy, pro
vided that it is distinctly understood that the total cost of
this entire plant shall not exceed a limit of $400,000; so
the tax payers may rest assured that this will be the total
expenditure for this school.,

EDGEFIELD JUDGE
Says Executions Should Be
Held in Public
SPARTANBURG, S. C.— Judge J.
W Devore, of Edgefield, presiding at
the eurrent term of general sessions
court, denied Wednesday having said
or Intimated that he preferred execu
tions by hanging when he delivered
his charge to the grand jury Monday
morning at the opening of the crimi
nal court. He said that his charge
had been misconstrued and editorials
quoting him as being in favor of go
ing back to the old system of execu
tions by hanging were unfounded, and
were probably based on misquoted
dispatches.
A statement given out Wednesday
by Judge Devore is ns follows:
“My charge to the grand jury' Mon
day morning was intended only to
advocate having the death sentence
executed in public. I did not Inti
mate that I was In favor of going
back to the old method of executions
by hanging. I am In favor of execu
tions, where that penalty must be Im
posed, by electrocution, or any other
method that will cause less pain and
suffering.
“I advocate that persons who have
been meted out the death sentence
should he executed in public at or
near the county sent of the countv In
which the person is tried, convicted
and sentenced. The execution should
be done publicly and openly for the
purpose of retting an example, which
example can not he set if the gniltv
person in executed In private, cither
by hanging or electrocution.”

ed by Judge Henry Thursday

brought out In the trial Indicated

about three quarters, of a mile be
fore firing the shot that nroved a

in tho joints and muscles and expell

Wltht this Idea In mind he consult

finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery, which
he called Allenrhu, to others who took
it. with what might he called mar

he decided to everywhere
