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. MORGAN B. SPEIR, Carolina! Manager 1 "BELL SYSTEM?

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.
