Within the past year the Dell Telephone ( ompauy has been Disk ing great efforts to secure rural connections in this part of the State. Tk, . . L . ! A. ligations to the Hell, either by re fwirinir frM srvle or arvii at greatly reduced ratea, and other , palters which have been lunocently worked ou the idea that they were helping the farmer, have been lib erally used to exploit the advaut ages of the telephone ia rural com niuuities. As a art of thia plan for the promotion atd advance ment or toe Hell id rural comma uilien, an "Agricultural Confer ence" has been called to meet in Charlotte io the near future. Speak era hsve been secured from the Ag rirultural Department at Washing ton for thia conference aud "The Kural Telephone" is one of the top ics to be discussed along with "Soil Innovation," " tiros ing Small tiraius," etc. While ostensibly an agricultural conference, it is appa rent that this conference is iu re ality for the exploitation of the Bell telephone. It was promoted by a Hell man whose custom it ia to work for his company after this ntauncr. The advantages of telephones in rural comniunitiea are apparent There is no argument on that poiut They are uot only a luxury and convenience to rural dwellers, but they have become a necessity, and the Landmark urges the establish went of telephone lines in every neighborhood. But the public should remember an important fact right here, ho gave the rural communities this great convenience! The Bell com pauyt Not at all. Before the ex piratiou of cert si u telephone pat ents, a few years ago, there were no rural telepboue line iu the State; there were no telephones in the small towns. W hue the Bell controlled the service was so ex pensive that telephones were in use in ouly a few of the largest towns of the State, aud only to a limited extent in these towns. These pat ents expired. The manufacture of telephones and telephone material was begun by other companies and the products sold at greatly re duced prices. Independent tele phone companies were orgaulzed in the small towns and villages and the rural communities and tele phone lines were stretched all over the State, the service being put at a price in the reach of all. All this, miud yon, was inde pendent of the Bell. When that monopoly saw the spread of the service, saw that the telephone had become not ouly a luxury but a necessity almost everywhere, it set slwut to get possession of the whole field. Independent coropauiegwere taught or crushed, put out of busi ness wherever possible; and it is always the case that wherever the lit'll gains full control rates are raised, often when the service is no better and in some instances not as good. This is the case in towns and it will be so in the country if the rural dwellers don't have a care. Those who fall into the trap so skillfully laid by the smooth tongued gentry employed by the Bull, will suffer iu the end. The hiMory of the past shows that. The counties iu the State that have the most .rural telephones, where the service is best developed and of moat benefit to the farmers, arc those where independent com panies prevail. Union And Iredell couuties show this. The farmers should organize, control and oper ate their own liues aud keep them free from any entaugling alliances with the Bell company. I u cases like Charlotte and Salisbury, where the Bell controls, rural lines will of course have to make arrange uieut for connection toct into the towns, but they should make these contracts with care or they will find themselves bound hand aud foot It is only recently, we repeat, that the Bell company has begun to give attention to rnral lines. It is doing that now because the In dependent companies have devel oped the field and given the farmer service at small cost. Now great interest is manifested iu the wel fare of the farmer. That Interest, as the facts show, is self iutercet. In some cases, for purposes of its own, the Bell will otfer the farmers fairly liberal terms to get tbem en listed. But if they get where they can't help themselves, lookout for Q Wood'!

That has beeo the case ia arhaa rotnmnnities; it fol- lows thai it will be so ia rural, la aa adjoining county, where the Bell controls, the Landmark is ad vised that country people who have 'phouea have to pay toll to get into the county town, la the case cited' the distance was only 12 miles. At the same time free connection was given to Stateaville and other points where there are independent com - paniea. Almost any concession is made to destroy a rival, but once competition ia destroyed the mo nopoly recuperate by excessive charges. Itt week the Bell company given permission to raise its rates in Wilmington and Asheville. The ratea were already as high Is, t'J.50 and i per month as the average man ran afiord, but they were raised 50 cents in each in stance. The company offered fig' urea to show that it was making nothing from its investment in u miugton and Asheville. It is easy to do that if one accept the rig uies of the company. In a receut issue of the Baltimore Sun, stock of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (the parent of the Southern Bell) was offered for sale aa an investment In this ad vertisement it was stated that for 25 years stock in the company had not paid less than 7 J per cent and that for the past three years it had paid N tier cent In addition, says the advertisement, there is always a surplus. "For the five mouths of the present year, ended May :il, the company bad a balance, after payment of iuHrest and dividends out of earnings of that period, of tri,2J!t,tS2, or nearly fl.OOO.otMi greater than for the corresponding period of l'.HJS." This statement is quoted from the advertisement of the company and it means that it earned enough mouey in five months to pay all expenses, Interest and dividends for the period and to put aside about six and a half millions as a surplus. If the company admits it is making that much money, it can easily be imagined that its real earnings are more. How does it make so much monejl By charge for its service such as are made at Wilmington, Asheville and else where. But enough for the present The Landmark desires simply to re mind the people of the smaller towns and rural communities espe cially, that the Bell didu't give them service and they wouldn't have the service today but for the independent companies; ami to warn them to beware of the ageuts of monopoly, whether they come in the guise of agricultural confer ences, religious meetings, or what not; and they might take with some grains of allowance the utterances of newspapers that exploit things for pay, directly or indirectly. The Development In Farming, . lin-en Is Our Host., Uarhvlli.. "I wish I could live to enjoy the development that modern scientific methods of farming will bring to tbH country within the next do cade, but I am too old to enjoy much of it" said an aged citizen of Alison county the other day. "Why," he continued, "there is a youug man in my neighborhood who will make this year as much corn on one acre of ground as his father made on a two-horse farm, and he is doing it in sandy soil the kind that was formerly cousid ered as not being adapted to corn." It is said that it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. It is also hard to teach an old farmer the new way of larming. This saying is verified in the fact that it is the younger farmers who are taking the lead out of the old beaten paths into the new way. There are ex ceptions, however, now and then. I saw an aged farmer the other day who bad accepted the teachings of modern agriculture and had re duced bis corn acreage to three acres from which he gets a yield of 3 bushels per acre, or 1!25 bushels on the three acres, lie used to have to cultivate 13 acres to get bushels.

A Celestial Visitor that Appears Each 5eventy-Five Years About Due It Will Be Bright Nest Spring. urmi s.iu.. ., "If you live until next spring you are going to witness one of the most maguiheeut sighta the beavena have ever diacloHed before your jeyes," said a well known member of the agronomical force at the I'nited Statea Naval Olaiervatory this afternoon to tbe correspondent of the Sun. "Hslley'a comet cornea only once in a lifetime, aud many persons are born, live and die with out ever catching a glimpse of its marvelous daub of fire across tbe skies. It was last seen in 1X", and few persona now alive can say they have ever witnesoed it" The astronomical world ia now on the watch, aud huge refracting and reflecting telescopes are tram ed upon the heavens from many poiuts on the earth in a common eftort to locate the comet, which is approaching the earth at a terrific rate. There is a friendly rivalry to see which will be the first to pick up the comet with their mir rors. Tbe comet in its full refulgeuce is not due uutil 1H10, but by spring it ill probably be near enough to be visible by naked eye. In the past it has spauned the heavens al most from horizou to horizon, cov ering as much as 100 degrees of celestial territory, and standiug out like a great living thing of fire. It is now somewhere off in space, but not yet visible to astronomers. They confidently expect some one to pick it up before the end of l!Hi!i aud after that it will increase in spleudor and size until it reaches its nearest approach to the earth, some time next spring, after which it will disapiiear, uot to be seen again in 7. years. 'ilalley's comet has beeu visit ing the vicinity of the earth ever since .rSHi or IK years before Christ," said the astrouomer. "Halley was an Kngliidimaii, whose name was giveu to the comet be cause he was the first to announce that this particular comet came near the earth at regular period., once every 75 years. He went over the records, and by a series of com putations found that what had pre viously beeu regarded as a series of different comets was nothing more thau the same comet, and that this, the most uiagniliceut of them all, came around regularly once every 75 years. That was dur ing the latter part of the eighteenth century, and Halley announced that this comet would next appear iu 1S.'I5. He never lived to see it come, but his successors found that his prediction came true. "The comet's 75-year journey will bring it toward us near enough for it to lie seen early iu 1!U0. It has never been photographed, be cause photography was invented after 1 M.'IS. Neither has the spec troscope been used upon this comet, this being another new invention. The telegraph is another facility not available in ls:i5, and there was at that time nothing like the great telescopic lcuacs of today or the great 40 inch refractive tele neoie at Yerkes Observatory, gixty miles northwest of Chicago. "With all these facilities astron omers will this time work iu har mony. A series of telescopic pho tographs will be taken at the Lick, Yerkes, Naval and other observa tories in this country aud all tbe large observaforiea abroad, includ ing those at Berlin, Vienna, l'aris aud Greenwich. We want to get a long set ies of actual telescopic pho tographs of this comet on its com ing cruise through the heavens. The comet will first be picked up somewhere off in space by some photographic telescope. We think we kuow just about where the comet will make its debut, but can't yet see it The moment it is found tbe news will be flashed around the world. "There will be no trouble seeing it with the naked eye. It will illu minate the heavens. We have some early Chinese prints repre senting it as a golden dragon of the beavena. It will make a tremen dous splash of tire. After it ouce comes and goes it will shoot away from the earth, going as far as Nep tune, the moat distant of the plan ets, passing all of the other planets en route, including Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mara. "We have calculated that Hal ley's comet is now within the orbit of Jupiter," said the astronomer, "and is rushing toward the orbit of the earth at the rate of a million miles a day. Aa a faint nebulus object in the constellation Orion it will no doubt be picked up in a few weeks. Celestial photography has it already located in limitless space far beyond the vision of the moat delicate telescopic research. As tbe comet enters into the orbit of our solar system it will grow brighter every dsy until it becomes visible to the naked eye the most spectacular object in nearly one hundred years. "There will lie do danger of collision with the earth. Wbea closest it will be about 20,000,000 miles away. It should be brightest about next May."

""" The tiny bauds of her little babv clutch a mother's heart There ia no appeal like theirs, no call so strong to motherhood. Flushed with the hop of a new and happier life in the New World, Mrs, Itta Burhalzow packed up her goods in Uumia, turned ber back on the old home in which poverty had continually dwelt, and sailed for America, where ber ro bust sons bail found a domicile aud a chance for success. She took with her ber four younger chil dren, the oldest 14 and tbe youug- i est only 4. She had little money and, to the officials enforeiug the immigration lawa, seemed unable to bear tbe burden of supporting her Hock. Tbe sons were waiting, but they, too, were poor. So the immigration otlieers decided that it admitted some of tbe childreui were likely to become public char-1 gee. Therefore they turned her; back at the very threshold of the new land. They would allow her i to enter with the two older chil dren, who could soon tie self sup porting, but if she stsyed in Amer ica she must send the little ones back to Kusaia. It nitmt have Ireen a great temp tatiou to remain in the fair new land of promise with her stalwart sons aud share their future. But when she chose she could uot is gist the appeal of the younger ones. "lhey need me more," she said. aud wiping away her tears, she de cided to return to HuNsia, to take up the old life there with ber babies. The mother seeks to serve and does not hesitate to spend herself for the good of her children. Aud the smaller and weaker they are. the more ber heart is touched. Their very weakness is the strong- eat appeal to that well of sympathy in woman that goes out to the weak, the crippled, the blind, tbe HI, the distrewed. It is that which makes her the ministering angel who stands liesido the sick lied aud fights for life to the very gates of Death. It is that which arouses in every good woman that spirit ol sacrifice that has made the world's martyrs. It is that which inspired Florence Nightingale aud (J race Darling, which gives the lted Cross nurse the courage to brave the bat tlefield, which tills the stuffs of our hospitals with theae gentle saints of the sick room, which results in a thousand acts of charity, which has given rise to the many organi zations to relieve dint reus and help the needy. It is this spirit in mau iinl woman which has removed tbe shadow of starvation from the lives of the poor, has provided humane treatment for the insane, has given a home to the outcast aud friends to the erring, has hel)ed the deaf to hear aud the blind to see. The humble Bussian mother without a moment of hesitation turns not to those who can give her most, but to those who need ber most Her instincts are as true as those of the woman who with all the aids of civilization aud educa tion has been developed into the most refined and sensitive product of the age. For, after all, there is nothing in the life of woman so helpful to humanity as this simple mother-love which is poured out with the fragrance of its Messing upon the children of all tbe world.
