Some Facts About the LOng-Distance
Telephone.


Waycross, Ca, Jan. 1.-The Bank of
Waycross to-day made it's semi-annuaI
report, and added $1,000 to its surplus ac-
count, making it $1,000. The bank has
$1O4.S71 deposits, and $94.S91 in loans.
The Valdosta Long Distance Telephone
Company has reached this city with it's
work, and is erecting poles for the hne
between here and Savannah. Mr.. Good
rum, the manager, says that the work on
the extension to Savannah will be COM
pleted as early as possible. He says that
as soon as the line has been extended to
Savannah, work will be begun on the lines
to Macon, Jacksonville, and WaycrosS
viii be the headquarters of the company,
according to the report. Mr.. Goodrum is
making arrangements to establish a new
telephone system in this city, which will
be a part of the long distance system.
A number of business men, sufficient to
make the system a success, have sub
scribed for service.
Mr.. 4. NJ. Grace, a son of Capt. Grace of
this city, has returned from the Univer-
sity of Virginia, and is spending the holi-
days with his parents here.
Never before, perhaps, in the history of
Waycross, has there gathered a more
brilliant social assemblage than that
which grace the spacious and brilliantly
lighted parlors of the Phoenix last even

Bachelor Girls Club. The reception was

PLANS FOR A BILLET POOL.
The Older and Smaller Mills May Be
Paid to Close.

Pittsburg. Jan. 1.-The special commit
tee appointed at the last meeting of the
American Bessemer Association to figure
out plan by which the defunct pool may
be again placed on it's feet, as the great
dictator of prices in the iron and steel
world, has completed it's report, which
will be presented at a meeting of mem
bers to be held Monday next, probably in
Pittsburg, but possibly in New York. The
identity of the committee is not known.
The report prepared by them will, how
ever. astonish the iron and steel world
beyond doubt The plan is that
the larger concerns will buy
up the allotment of the older and
smaller mills and pay the owners to turn
the keys in the doors and practically re-
tire from the billet manufacturing bust
ness with the exception of pocketing the
dividends that they will receive from the
concerns that will then make the billets
for the whole country. In this respect the
billet pool will emulate the methods of the
nail pool but with more hopes of success.
The consummation of the project means
that the trade in billets and finished pro-
duct will be confined to the larger pro-
ducers, or a concentration of production
placed in the hands of a few large firms,
who will then control production, set the
price and share with the idle mill owners.

GRAIN MEN PROTEST TOO MUCH
Some Wichita Buyers do Not Like the
Eagles Interview.

| To the Editor of the Eagle.
! We, few of the grain men of Wich-
| tia, desire to enter our protest against
the article which appeared in this morn
! ilgs Eagle under the head, IVAN;
Kansas Corn" The very head lines of
| this article are an insult both TO our IN
spector and to every legitimate dealer in
the city. Wichita has had a deputy
state inspector during the past six
months, and grain is handled here on
Kansas state grades. The dealers both
buying and selling on Wichita inspec-
ton. We have all enjoyed considerable
trade to Texas and other local territory
during this time, and we have not had
the Wichita inspection brought in ques-
ton once. The writer OF the article re-
ferred to would seem 10 have the people
think that Wichita is doing no business
in a local way. And also that the repu-
ta.lon of her dealers is SO bad that Kan
sas City dealers can sell their corn for
SIS per car more than can the Wichita
dealers AS a matter Of fact more than
/. 900, 900 bushels of corn have been
handled TO the local trade by Wichita
dealers since the first of the year. This
corn has all carried Wichita inspection,
and it has been sold at prices from Il
cent to l cent per bushel above Kansas
City prices. The assertion that an hon.
est grade can only be obtained by an
elevator is a mistake. 1t is a we'll known
fact that elevator men mix their grain,
using the better grades to bring up
lower grade TO point where it Will
barely pass inspection. And very often
the grade is so close that the inspector
himself is almost puzzled as 10 whether
it should pass or not. We have many
customers who will not buy elevator
grain if they can secure grain that has
come from the original shipper without
having been tempered with.
We think it would be well. Mr.. Editor,
that you and the writer of this article
investigate in regard 10 the magnitude
of the local grain business Of Wichita.
and we feel very sure that an impartial
investigation will show that there is
more capital and labor employed, and
more money paid out, and more people
benefited by this than by any other
branch of business in the city.
