In one Johnston county town there are said to be as many or more hogs than inhabitants. The people not only raise their own meat, but sell hui.dreds of pounds of It. Of course the hogs scatter a few thousand fleas and are objectionable as citi zens of the town in many other re spects, jut all this counts but little when the pleasure of owning hogs comes up. In June when giving In his tax there one man gave In for ty head of hogs. He does not se'-m to be right sure that 'ie listed enough but thinks forty is somewhere near the right number. He carries on a good deal of business and does not devote much time to hog raising or ho would have more. Hogs from the country frequently come In to visit the town h>igs. It is said the pigs go almost everywhere. When the grown hogs enter a store for groceries they arc usually polite enough to go in at the back door. How to Build up Rural Telephone System. MR. KDITOR: We desire to ttia.uk you for the kindly Interest you have always shown In (he development of rural telephony in Johnston county, and the aid thus given the Independent Exchanges. We, the Johnston County Tele phone Company, began business two years ago. to supply telephone ex change service for the town of Smithfield and build rural telephone lines. Now as to what we have ac complished we ask your readers to judge us by results. We have to day 100 telephones installed in the town of Smithfield and 27 on our rural lines, with 20 more rural tele phones to be put in just as soon as we can put up the wire. We do not claim to be competi tors of the Bell nor its allied com panies, but we do claim that our mission is among our own people and the building up of the rural tele phone lines. This cannot be accom plished though if our people set idly by and let the Bell companies un dermine them as they have other companies that opposed their mo nopoly. The Carolina Company, a sub-11 cense company of the Bell, would not listen to the appeal of our citizens two years ago, to lower rates, but now they offer phones at almost any rate to get them in; hoping thereby to again controll the field. We would say to each and every one of our citizens beware of the waif in sheep's clothes. For is It not a known fact that these same people are now advancing the rates in Wil mington and Asheville but not one word do you hear from Raleigh al though they are cities of near the same importance and population? And why? The reason is not far to j see Raleigh has an Independent Tel ephone Company and these other ci ties have not. Stand by your home company and aid it to make our county a net work of wires as Un ion county is today. In conclusion let us say that if the Bell company installs their phones under any pretense, that It will mean the forcing out of our phones and the same or worse condition* will face us than at any time heretofore. Yours truly, Johnston County Telephone Co. A Note of Thanks. We desire to thank our frlendt. and neighbors for their kindness shown us in the recent illness and death of our little son, Clyde Ornax.
