INCREASE IN TELEPHONE KATES
Mr Elliott Explains Why the Increase "Will
be Made
Ileporter: Mr. Elliott, I see, by a
letter to your subscribers, that after
:he first of October, the rental of your
'phones will be materially increased;
tvliilc doubtless this is due to sound
Du-iness reason?, yet as the 'phoi.e
jystem is a quasi-public .affair, would '
/ou object to giving the reasons?
Mr. tCDiott: Not at all. I will be '
)n!y too glad to do so When the ex- '
:lnnge was installed, our people were
o indisposed to "take ou" to a new
hing, and thought themselves so illible
to pay fair rules for service, that
,he price had to be made tempting and
mutually low, aunt me convenience
and value of snch a service could be
properly appreciated. Again, at that ^
;im? ;he prices of ?:03ts, wiro, labor
tnd all ibat was ncces^ary to m^ke a j
elephouc system were estremely low. ,
Since then the prices of post?, wiie,
ir.d cost of labor, incidental to proper '
icrvice, Lave i'icreasi.d from Cfry so j ^
evciity per o n*.
In addition the cost of mii"tc.!ance !

Reporter: Is it the purpos ofvoar ,
ixolm.ge to c-xlend your system into .
.he county and thus give your subscribers
increasing service?
Mr Elliott: Ye?, we have just completed
a line to Alston, v;a Monticello, ,
sviili one branch to Albion and another
:q the Leiper-Davis granite quarries,
siabing nearly thirty miles of actual
wire, and blinking some twenty
phones in connection with the exchange.
Also, .by arrangement with
LTivate parties, we are working a3 far

Reporter: When your new rates go
nto force, do jou expect to give reliable
night fcervice?
Mr. J?lJiott: we nave maae arrangements
whereby the service at
night will be sure. An employee will
sleep in the central office, with a'aim
sell, counccted wiih each 'puOi.c.
Rtporter: May I ask why yen do
not have connections with tlie line
running from here to Clie-ter?
Mr. Elliott: We made every (ffort
to kcure reciprocal relations will, that

Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in
your paper to return thanks to ray
supporters in the recent election. I
was defeated, but I am juet as much
indebted to those who voted for me as
I possibly could bo in the event of success.
I also desire to return thanks to
those whom I visited in various parts
of the county. I shili always very
highly appreciate their liberal hospitality.
Should the opportunity ever
occur I shall tike pleasure in reciprocating.
I was placed at considerable

Had I been thrown in competition
with'younger men the result might
have been quite difleient. It is true
that the present iucumbent has held
office a number of year?, and he obligated
himself t ot to oppose me this
year, but the disparity in our years
forbid that I should say anythiog to
inflict a wound or, his feeling:1. I am
materially opposed to the long tenure
in office. I am strenuously opposed
to a monopoly of office; ye?, I am op

monopoly of money, or monopoly in
