The Andrews News notes Christmas cheer from Kris Kringle approaching as children await his arrival. It warns strikes risk surpassing wars, reflecting postwar labor tensions and shortages like sugar and coal prominent in 1917, with commentary on Senate inaction.
In Andrews no telegraph delivery service exists and business leaders plan a petition to the Telegraph Company. A company representative says pay prevents hiring a messenger, leaving many telegrams delayed or delivered by unauthorized persons days after arrival.
In Conway South Carolina S H Jester from Edgefield provoked a near riot with uncomplimentary remarks about local fuel restrictions. Merchants agreed to 9 to 4 hours. mayor and police kept the crowd calm and he left town by the afternoon train.
The News argues the Telegraph Company should not accept telegrams for Andrews without clear delay terms. Letters arrive faster than telegrams, and Charleston agents know delivery to Andrews is unlikely within three to four days. The paper calls on all interested to secure prompt and adequate telegraph service now.
