IHdl story from Alabama is too hui
initiating for belief yet it is told will
sucn clrcumstantiality that We are
driven to acceptance of il. 1t is re-
lated that until recently the telephone
was unknown in a certain large Sec
ton OF Alabama. About the time the
wires were put up and communication
opened between the towns of he re-
glon, the price of cotton fell. Unable
TO understand how a man in the town
OF Huntsville could talk with ano-her
a hundred miles away. the farmer
people OF the section began to have
supelst'flous fears concerning the
wires and instruments. Finally the
suggestion grew into expression that
the telephone was c~hargeable with the
slump in cotton prices. T%hereupon
the ignorant people began to tear
oo"n the wires, and this they have
continued until most of the lines are
down. 1t is reported that so firmly is
this foolish folk of the belief that the
telephone is a thing of evil and that il
has work a spell upon their cotton in
dustry. that the wires could not be re-
placed save under protection of
armed officers. Aud this in the blaze
