CARD BALL GAME
SUNDAYJTERNOON
Ed Powell aind Boys Will
Tangle With Oxford or
Durham Team at Park
Henderson will have a baseall frame
here next Sunday afternoon at Lea
gue Park if the plans of Ed Powell
materialize, he stated today.
Powell's plans call for a game be
tween Henderson and some team
from Durham or Oxford.
It will be the final appearance of
Otto Pahlman in a Henderson uni
form since he leaves shortly for
Goldsboro, where he has assumed the
managerial reins of that town's entry
in the Coastal Plains League.
The proposed Tobacco State Lea
gue with a Henderson entry has just
about folded up in the laps of the
promoters. Powell can see little pos
sibility of such a circuit carrying on
this year, but he plans to have one of
the fastest semi-pro teams in this
section, playing independently.
Drills will be held shortly, and reg
ularly scheduled games will be run
off in the near future, according to
the baseball enthusiast.

Sharp Rate Curtailment
By Phone Company Given
(Continued from Fage One.T
duction we have just ordered for the
Carolina telephone company is slightly
more than 10 per cent of the gross re
revenue of the exchange business of
the company for the year 1935,’’ Chair
man Winborne said. '■
Increases Cancelled.
“In ten of the towns and cities
served by this company, the govern
ing bodies of the towns have since
the first of this year petitioned this
commission to allow an increase in
the telephone rental rates as a result
of the substitution of automatic ex
changes for the old type of exchange.
But as a result of this new order, the
rates allowed for these ten towns will
be much less than the rates which
the town authorities agreed to pay
and asked us to approve.”
There are three exchanges in which
there will be no reduction in rates,
due to the fact that they are very
small exchanges with only from eight
to ten telephones in each one, Win
borne said. The rates are already in
line with those approved for small ex
changes of similar size, he said.
In some of the larger exchanges,
such as those in Rocky Mount, Wil
son, Henderson, Washington and New
Bern, the reduction of the rental rates
is not as large per customer as in
some of the other exchanges, Win
borne said, although the aggregate a
mount involved in the reduction is
considerable. The new rates, however,
will be comparable throughout with
the reduced rates ordered by the com
mission for the Southern Bell Tele
phone and Telegraph Company ex
changes in the State more than a year
ago, and which is still fighting. Here
tofore the rates of the Carolina Tele
phone Company have been consider
ably lower than the Southern Bell
rates in towns of like size, Winborne
pointed out.
In addition to the reduction in the
monthly rental rates, the rates on ex
tensions and hand-set phones, or
“monophones,” have also been re
duced, Winborne said. The rates on
business phone extensions have been
cut from $1.25 a month to $1 a month,
While residential extension rates have
been cut from $1 a month to 75 cents
a month. The rental on the hand-set
or monophone telephones is limited to
25 cents a month for 18 months,
where heretofore the charge was 25
cents a month for an unlimited num
ber of months. This will mean that at
least 4,500 users of the monophone
type of telephone will be freed en
tirely of paying anything more for
these phones, Winborne said.

The exhibit said that a remarkable

For the 23-year period ended last
December 31, Krug said, long line
operations netted over $400,000,000.
This, he said, exceeded a six per
cent return on the average net plant
investment by more than $180,000,000

seven percent return on net plant in

so boosted his stock greatly through

is generally conceded.
Although Senator Bailey is remain
ing in Washington, he is doing some
effective campaigning from there by
mail and is sending thousands of let
ters out to the voters. Always an ef
fective letter writer, Senator Bailey
has sent out a letter during the last
week or so to many of the voters in
the State calling attention to the fact
that he will probably not be able to
return home before the primary be
cause of his duties in Congress, and
asking their support and votes. This
letter is as follows:
“It now appears that my duties in
the Senate will prevent me from see
ing you prior to the primary; and so
I am writing, not only to ask your
support of my candidacy, but also to
urge that you will be on the alert to
advocate my renomination. I must de
pend upon my friends.
“Your advices will be deeply appre
ciated. If you know of voters to whom
I should write, or of criticisms to
which I should respond, please in
form me.
“I have been heartened by many as
surances and feel that all is going
well. In these final weeks, however,
I desire close touch with you, because
of my high regard for you and the
unusual value of your support.”

Right now Mamma Moth is looking around for a nice place in

And that’s why many a perfectly good winter garment is going

things a thorough dry cleaning and moth proofing before you put
