manual type, it Is new equipment
of modern design and is fully
capable of furnishing the high
quality of service which we are
so anxious to provide.
"The opening of a dial office in
your city would involve substan
tial expenditures of new capital.
Consequently, we do not feel it
would be prudent to remove the
present system from service until
required to do so by growth, or to
use the money, material and re
lated manpower needed for its
replacement just to provide a dial
system. These resources are so
urgently needed elsewhere at this
time to fill the requirements of
people who have no service at all.
"There have been a number of
cases in this state where manual
systems similar to that at Kings
Mountain have been replaced with
dial equipment. In those situa
tions all possibilities of expand
ing the manual switchboards had
been exhausted and in order to
continue to meet growth require
ments. it was found necessary to
provide complete new dial sys
tems.
"When the demand for tele
phone service at Kings Mountain
is such that the existing office,
has reached its capacity, which ap
pfcars at the moment to be some
years in the future, we would at
that time expect to undertake the
installation of dial equipment as
a means of earing for future
growth, provided, of course, our
financial resources at that time
would permit such a program.
"In the meantime, I can assure
you that we will do everything
we can to provide a high quality
of service from the existing man
ual system."

Former-Governor
Continued From Front Page
Throughout he compared notes
on mutual friends and kin, all In
a casual, friendly manner, and,
when menfolk were around, ac
companied his dry wit with a gift
which has become the Scott trade
mark, a cut of Pteach & ffoney
tobacco.
Frank as usual, Mr. Scott Indi
cated he thought he could de
feat Senator Alton Lennon In the
May primary, but added it would
not be easy and would require
plenty of work. He would have
trouble, he suspected, in Meck
lenburg county, Cabarrus, Polk,
and some others, but figures to
do much better than in previous
elections in Buncombe, as well as
Cleveland.
Attendance at the. Bfethware
supper was a happenstance a hap
pen. Scott's aide, Duke Parris,
had come to town at mid-day to
arrange a court-holding hand
shaking at City Hall, similar to
the one Senator Lennon held sev
eral weeks ago. Hte found the
Bethware party made to order,
and attended as the guest of Ollie
Harris, county coronor, with Mar
tin Harmon, Kings Mountain
Herald editor, in tow.
In his conversation, the For
mer Governor reminds of his
"Go Forward" program for school
building and rural roads, his
strong afid successful efforts in
obtaining salary Increases for the
state's teachers, and his prod
ding of the telephone and electri
cal utilities to provide their ser
vices to the rural communities.
