KLEIN, Druggist, Walterboro. NEWS OF THE TELEPHONES IN THE SOOTH The latest news concerning the spread of the telephone idea over the farms of the south may well be taken as a chronicle of the progress among the rural inhabitations. In growth of popularity, numbers and usefulness, the telephone has sur passed any other agency known to the fanning community, at least in this section of the country, within the past few years. As the editor of the Atlantic Con stitution recently remarked, “the telephone is an antidote for insola tion/’ ^ One important news item is report ed from Texas. The branch of the government weather bureau situated in the Lone Star state has recently decided to give daily weather fore casts and special warnings over the local and long distance wires to all terephonejsubecribers in Texas. This service, which is to be free, will cover more than two-thirds of the area of the state, embracing practi cally all of the agricultural portion. These forecasts and warnings will cover a 36-hour period, and, as can easily be recognized, will be of the utmost value to rural telephone sub scribers. It is said that the new regulation of the weather bureau will prove «an incentive to those farmers who have not already sup plied themselves with the benefits of telephone service. The installation of a new switch board at Kinston, North Carolina, recently was the occasion of a letter to the editor of the Kinston Semi- Weekly Free Press, written by Mr. C.'P.

This offer and official statement of position is important in view of the fact that an attitude of this sort is not generally understood. Yet it is the fact that the pioneer movement for telephones can best receive its impetus frojn the farmers themsel ves. whose preliminary work in plan ning and building a telephone line is the first sign of telephone activity in a rural neghborhood. So it is that all through the south farmers may be seen at work on the roads building their own telephone lines. The work of construction is not different from ordinary fence building operations about the fanr, and by going about it in this mar.- ner the farmers can reduce to a min imum all trouble and expense inci dent to installation. As an instance of the popularity of the farm telephone throughout the south, the sales figures of the Western Electric Company, the largess manufacturer of telephones in the world, may well be quoted. This concern has sold 75,000 rural telephones in the past 90 days. Last year it sold 30,000 rural telephones in the south alone. The Coi'. titution recently carried an editorial on this“subject entitled The Rural ’Hello’ Still Spreading’’, which stated: A recent Constitution dispatch from Juliette reported the onward march of the rural telephone in Monroe county. Our correspondent summarized the numerical progress made by this-modern facility in the last few months, / and stated that within a rel atively short period no county in Georgia would be more completely equipped with telephones than old Monroe. The development, in connection with others of similar nature, is sig nificant. Hardly a day passes with out its particular report of advance ment made by the rural telephone In north* east, south and west Geor gia the “voice in the box” is making headway, placing the farmer in touch with his neighbors and with distant cities, at an annual expense of considerably less the revenue from a hale of cotton. It requires little imagination to s.^e in the rapidly increasing vogue of farmers’ lines an aid to the solu tion of the agricultural problem in America. Economists agree that the primary cause of the abandoned farm and in sufficiency of production is the inso lation and loneliness of the country, which operates, or rather has oper- ated in the past, to drive young men and women in armies to the cities. T to telephone is an. antidote for insolation. The two cannot exist in the same home. And since the rural i ’phone walks side by side with rural free delivery and other advance j agents of development, we may, ) with partial logit at least, endeavor I to check the tide cityward.
