TRYING TO WORK THE

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

the ueei. 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 BIU COMET 15 C0.HNU.
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
