There was a rare occurrence in Saluda last Saturday when the telephone wires were seen burning. It seems that the electric wires of high voltage were crossed with the telephone wires in some way and the telephone wires were ignited. All of the telephones were put out of commission. But the prompt efforts of Manager Hall and his helpers, “Central” was soon on her job giving every one good connection again.
