_ yhe race that never ends
'L.DINQ a telephone system Is an undertaking that
v snds. The telephone plant censtruotsd for tedajrs
// V l?. must be so engineered as to havs a definite plaoe
ant to meet the anticipated demands of the future?
i and even twenty years hanoe.
. veer, for Instance, there was a gross expenditure of
,^226,182 for additions and replaoaments to the Southern
^sll Telelj hone System In the nine Southeastern States.
Thoro vwas a net gain of 66,289 new telephone statlone?
making a total of 1,242,689 telephone stations In the nine
< Southeastern States. Of thesS 843,172 are Bell-owned, 362,80S
are owned by other companies, but connected with the
w Bell System and 37,209 are located In farm homes.
Tho Investment In erfrvlce, December 31, 1926, was $166,I
7i602, not Inoludlng $3,834,097 of construction work In prog,
kjfTo
build, operate and manage this great telephone syotern
requires the services of an army of skilled men and
women whose annual payroll amounts to $24,433,290. Another
bl^' expense was the tax bill of $4,432,018, which was
an Inoreaee of 174 per cent over the tax bill of 1920.
There was an Improvement In the efficiency and scope
? ef the service, so noticeable as to win the commendation of
eur customers, and the largely Increased trafflo was handled
with greater speed and accuracy than ever before.
The presentation of these details is a continuation of our
vT*jjpollc^ of taking the public fully into our confidence. It also
UjHdbs us another opportunity to express the appreciation of
jfthe telephone workers for your friendly Interest and co
f^ffMaration.

"As a testimonial to the high standard
of 'AA Quality' Fertilizer for Cotton I j
wish to give you the following facts: Due
to the extremely dry weather this spring
and early summer, I planted a field of
cotton June 27th, using 400 pounds of
'AA Quality' Fertiliser foe Cotton per
acre without any nitrate of soda, ana in ' |
about seven days it was up and chopped
out. And now on September 6th, it is
almost fully matured with an abundance
of fruitage. The rapid growth and maturity
of this cotton has been almost unbelievable.
I expect to get a bale per I
acre."
?O. A. Ethridge
? Society Hill, S. C., Sept. 3, 1926 j
"I purchased 80 tons of 'AA Quality'
Fertiliser and I wish to tell you that it ,
i has proven under weevil conditions to '
\1 be tne earliest maturing fertilizer I have
ever used. I will pick around 1200 I
| sounds of seed cotton to the acre ater? j
' l?e on 300 acres. The crop is well
l^iited."
