THE BEST IN THE STATE WHAT THE RURAL TELEPHONE IS ABOUT TO ACCOMPLISH in GEORGIA. ; ' Practically every home in Han cock County, Georgia, will be equip ped witi. a telephone when the - plans Of the Sparta, Ga., merchants are completed. The farmers are co-op. erating with their progressive city neighbors in bringing about this im provement. It will be of inestimable value, both to the rural residents and to the merchants. The universal spread of the rural telephone has per haps never shown a , more striking result. It will be the best of phones, too, that this up-to-date community will have installed. The central exchange at Sparta is an adjunct of the Souther Bell Telephone Company, which, like all other Bell lines, is quipped with the latest improved! appliances of the Western Electric! Company, the largest manufacturers Of telephones and telephone appar. tus In the world. This company has already equipped many Tural lines Jn the country, surrounding Sparta. The installation of a county wide services means the annihilation of all distances in Hancock. A farmer jnay have his home at the extreme end of the county, but he will be able to talk to his brother in Sparta with as little trouble as if the two lived on opposite sides of the same road. Business men whose rural neighbors furnish tiiem trade will have every customer practically at their finger-tips. It is difficult to es timate just how much this improve ment will mean, expressed in terms of money, to Hancock County. The Atlanta Constitution recently Icommented editorially on the sub- i ject, under the heading Getting in. to communication, as follows: Hancock County has taken a step in the direction of progress which others will do well to em- ploy as a pattern. Instigated by the enterprising ' citizens of Sparta, there has been pet in motion a project which will soon put a telephone into praetiealiy every farmhouse in Haneock, 1 Realising the .importance, not only to the farmers, but to the been demonstrated and its proven proven worth is vastly n(e than its small cost. Hancock County has Jgone about it in the right way. - ' ' It will result not only in ma " terial advantage to the vindlyicL ual jjitizens ofv the coiiaty but itf- broadening of viewj dt j of sphere of activity witlch: are Jin pprtant community assests. ' Thi5re shosula be nc county in th State wkhou its rural tkl- ' ephone service. It is not only an indication of progress, but it i3 a positive fac- . tor in continued advancement and growth. Spartans are already boasting that when the imp: ovement is completed they wi1! have the best .county in fore's. A fund of $500 has been raised to aid farmers in purchasing the nec essary equipment for telephone lines, to be built into the city and connect with the telephone exchange 'there. The committee in charge, of raising the fund met with every pos sible encouragement, and it was de clared at the time that an additional $500 could be easily raised if need ed. Seldom has any movement been given such an enthusiastic recep tion. The farmers in the section1 ar ound Sparta were intense in . their desire to secure telephone service in the home and eliminate the burden of isolation. In less than a month after the fund was raised plans were made for the construction of several telephone Jines, and almost one hundred tel ephones were added to the system. Inquiries eame to the committee from all sections of the county, and the movement is yet in its infancy. 4 4 Trinity College Four 1 Departments Collegiate, Graduate" Engineering and Law.W .: Large , library faculties.

POPLAR BPANCK III IK Popular Branch, Aug 9, Our farm ers are very busy digging sweet po tatoes and shipping them to the Northern markets. So far they have been selling for a ood price. Our corn crop has been cut off one-half by the heavy rains during June, July and so far in August. One of our old friends, Mr. Wm. Bray of Currituck has been in our The matter was taken up by the town for the past week. city early last March, when a num- It seems that everybody was glad ber of enterprising citizens realized to shake hands. Come again Wm. that if the farmers' homes were connected with Sparta by telephone it would result in centralizing their interests in that city and would in. sure business that might otherwise go elsewhere. It meant, a great deal to the business men in the city and to the farmers. A mass meeting was called, and a committee appointed to secure subscriptions t othe fund. In the course of a few hours $500 was raised. A second mass meeting was called, and the following geqjtion was reported: , The committee, consisting of May or J. D. Bennett, W. H. Burwell, M. L. Duggan, George White, . Rob ert Holmes and R. E. Wheeler, ap pointed to solicit subscription from the business houses of Sparta, to be collected as needed, having report. business interests of Sparta, of j ed that they had raised $500, it was guch a system of communication covering practically the entire county. Spirta business men raised a fund for tke purpose ol building rural telephoh e lines and bringing them into connec tion with, the city system. " Prom this fund approximately half of the expenses of construc ting the lines ewill be paid, th t farmers paying the other half and cost of installing their telephones It is, therefore, purely a local enterprise, which has for its ob. ject intercommunication of the entire county . in general, and centralizing the county's busi ness at the county seat, in par ticular. Both the citizens of Sparta and the farmers of Hancock are making a good investment; the farming interests will do their trading at heme, instead of go ing into the adjoining county. But aside from that. the-. pe" pie of the whole county will be brought, socially and commer cially, into closer harmony and unity. They will have at hand means of rapid communication, not only among themselves, but with the outside world.

I is understood that amounts so paid out on lines approved by said committee, ae to be in the nature of a bonus to such lines for the purpose of encouraging a systematic rural telephone system centering at Sparta. Faremers' telephone lines irarely cost more than $25 per mile, so that the bonus of $10 per mile is an im portant item. A prominent citizen in discussing the matter declared that the action of the city marked an epoch in Georgia, and was one of the most progressive steps ever taken by a southern city. The telephone is as essential to the farmer as to the business man In the city, he said.
