?-e by the paper.-: win-re an airplaia
going t-> fly ovei Murphy on a cer
tain day, and we keep our chest out
and our head back, razing skyward,
until w. get a "crick in the neck."
The day passes. No airplane show- ,
up. Same the next day. And the
ii >. nay ? we notice an A. 1'. dis
patch stating that the airplane flew
to the West and back to the Hast.
A jmckage <^?ntaining some grapes j
: ud fig.- and a message from one
mayor to another wea dropped in the !
Western town? What town?
Maybe these (Easterners were just !
plain dumb, like the Raleigh soda i
jcrker. We were down in Raleigh '
-*<&veral years ago and stepped into a!
.soda fount, bought some cigarettes,'
a dope and drifted into conversation !
with t.'u- fellow who waited on us. He i
asked us where we were from, and
we told him Murphv. "What part'
of Tennessee is that?" he asked.
The trouble with these fellows is. ;
they thought they flew over Mur
phy, but we'll wager a package of
? 'herokee figs and grapes and a mes-l
-age from the Mayor of Murj?hy that'
they can't prove they flew farther'
west than Charlotte. And we can!
get a hundred affidavits from as j
many citizens of Murphy, including;
the Mayor, that no airplane was !
seen nor heard over Murphy on the]
day the projected flight was made. ;
They may have dropped a pack-j
age in t?bc middle of "a" town, but j
certainly not "the" town, so far as it J
relates to Murphy. And we haves
only THEIR word for that. Some-j
body, somewhere, in some town of '
North Georgia, East Tennessee, or
probably South Carolina, must have
gotten that package.
Therefore, the burning question is,
regardless of "Down East Ignorance," i
in the "middle" of what town was it i
dropped, and who got the package? j
ped, and who got the package?

' ha i made the name of Tillett a >y
nonym of the purest form of Jeffer

Ninth Carolina, at least.
Now come-* upon the scene one
I.oone Tillitt. who i- closer kin t??,

day school. If he did. I hope St.
I'e'er dropped a tear and blotted out
his trangression. Well .fake, strength
to your arm! I am with you on t?his
point only; and I hope and expect
that "Our Bob" will defeat you by
at least 100,000 majority. But I
want Boone to come off the ticket or
uhangc -his name. Let the battle-cry
be: "Down with a renublican ticket
that bears the name ??f Tillett!"; and
if he persists in running, let's "lick
the stuff in* out'n him."
hi conclusion: If Boone doesn't
resign then "Aufwiedersehn" which,
beine interpreted is "I'll see you a
gain."

In CjOOcI Tunes and Bttd
? Your Service Improves
Some of our customers Uavc commcntca favorably
upon tVe tact that telephone service is better than ever, de
spite tnc depression, and tha: their telephone friends seem as
anxious a? ever to satisfy :ae individual needs ot subscribers.
Thj is gratifying, out quite natural when one considers that
service conies first with telephone people and that they regard
it aa a serious obligation to serve che needs of the public efficient
ly cwentv-four hours a day. in good times and bad times.
During tne pa?t ten years tne number of telephones in prac
tically every community has doubled, and in some instances
trebled. With this growth the service has become more com
plex but there has been a constant improvement due to scien
tific inventions, new methods and practices and a more skilled
ana experienced personnel. The value of the service has
grown to the extent that it is regarded by many as the cheap
est form o* service that can be bought. - *
That tnc increased quantity ana quality of the service has
not been accompanied by a greater cost to the user is because
of economies effected by new inventions and practices which
have been passed on to the telephone u?ing public in the
form of more and better service.
Although your telephone company has suffered a serious
Jos* in telephones and an enormous loss in revenue, there are
stil. many more telephones in service than there were five
years ago ana the co^t, compared with the value, scope and
quality of the service is much less thar it ever has been.
Te.-phone peopie have tared the c=pre*$V?n cl eerfulljr.
They have accepted shorter bcur* in order that the work
Slight 'x spread among &s many as possible and with a deter
mmation to fulfill their obligation to vender the best possible
service at the lowest poisiblecost consistent with financial safety.
