TBLEPHOy WAR,
The Bell People Want to Reach Oarrollton
and the Carroll Company Wants
To Keep Them Out.

The telephone war has reached Carroll
ton. The Bell people have gone ahead
and put up line connecting the towns
in the southern part of Stark with the
county seat and now want to get into
Crrrollton. The Chronicle of that town
seems to take issue with the Bell people
in a measure. The current issue Of that
paper has this to say of the controversy
there:
1.-TWO representatives of the Bell Tele-
phone Co. were before orr town council
Tuesday night asking to have an or
dinsnce passed granting them a franchise
to get into town. The speaker was
pretty click gentleman and didn't say too
much, but said many other things just
right. Messrs. Fimple and Blythe were
present in behalf of the Carroll Telephone
Co. to object to the demands of the Bell
people. They claimed they had solicited
the Bell people for four years to build q
line to Carrollton, but the Bell Co. asked
SO, 900 to do so, and finally they refused
to answer our letters. Just as soon as
the local telephone company was started
the Bell people began at once to build us
line, p' ralleling the lines Of the local
company. Our local copmany offers to
put phones in private houses at Sl5 a
year, while the Bell people charge $50
when they have no competition. In
towns where they have competition they
cut rates so that independent companies
are fro zen out, then they run up rates
and squeeze the life out Of every patron.
In Canton they have iutimidated right

was the first of the invited guests to
arrive and as he stepped off the train he
was met by the reception committee and
escorted to the hotel, The reception com.
mittee, consisting of Ed Jones, William
More, Ludwig Evans and Dennis Milan,
in command with Hon. John p. Jones
and Judge Smyser, then drove to Canal
Fulton to meet Mayor McKisson. The
train came In on time, though 1t had
aboard the mayors incipient boom and
the party hurried back to North Law
renee, where the band soon made It's
appearance. This band is one of the best
in the county 1t is touted to have
something to say about who carries of
that S75 at the Elk's street fair next
month. The organization is certainly a
credit to the town.
After handshakings had been INDUCED
iu, the party repaired to the depot
grounds, where had been erected one of
the tallest and finest poles that ever
reared its top toward the helvens. The
pole committee, G. W. Pollock, Joseph
johnson and John johnson, assisted by
other patriotic citizens, had secured a
pole that stands 1l9 feet out of the
ground, and the flag committee had
procured a handsome specimen of Old
Glory that measures 25 by 10 feet John
p Jones presided at the preliminary
exercises, and eftyr songs by scho oil
children and the boisting of the starry
emblem of freedom, the crowd repaired
to a stand on the square where the ad-
dresses were made. John p. Jones pre-
sided and there was music by the band
and songs by the quartCtte. The latter
brought the company down with an
effective presentation of Didn't Dewey

man Jones then introduced Mayor Nc
Kisson and disappointed his audience by
falling to touch on the incipient guber-
material boom. Mayor McKisson confined
his remarks to themes entirely appro,
pirate and made happy impression. He
congratulated the people of the town and
referred to the record of Molly Stark
throughout the country for excellent
specimens of American citizens. He re-
feIred to Gen. Sherwood Of Canton
editor, soldier and jurist," to JOSEPH
Medill, to the BaldSins and the Days
and to "the typical citizen, the Presi
dent of the United States" Mayor Rice
followed in splendid address on themes
incident to the occasion. His eloquenct
stirred the patriotic fervor of his auditors
and the hills resounded with enthusiastic
cheers. Judge Smyser followed with I
patriotic and scholarly address. The oo
casion was one long to be remembered By
those who were fortunate enough to b,
participants.

afternoon.
Mayor McEisson of ClC yelanl smiled,
grunted suavely and sltisfedly, and took

The occasion was Gag raising in
which about oil the citizens of North
Lawrence took part. The affair had
been thought Of as proper thing in hon

In it, Through his, efforts the mayor Of
Cleveland was secured, Mayor Ric3 Of
Canton responded to an urgent invitation
Of committee, and Judge Smyser Of
Wooster answered a similar summons,
But the occasion, though patriotic, was
sufficient to launch MCKisson's boom,
and the man who gave Hanna such q
terrible twist and who has beaten him to
q standstill In his own home, took well
Tith the sturdy miners.
Before the arrival Of Mayor McKisson,
the Inhabitants of the village waited for
his coming, affectionately referring to
him as Bob," though he had never been
in the village before and not fifteen
people in the community had ever seen

referred to TIE flag and to that alone. 1t

Notwithstanding this political side is.

desired by the good citizens of the village.
There is a great amount Of patriotism in
North Lawrence and the people are
proud of their record for good citizenship
They are an honest, sturdy class, who
love their country and respect its laws.
It is notable fact-though it hasn't any

Honolulu is an American city.
The commercial prospects of the
Islands do not appeal to the posses
or of moderate capital. Every pos =.
sible avenue of commerce is monopo-
lized. The right to fish is sold to q
limited few. The right to auction or
keep saloons Ia also disposed of to a
limited humber. The great and pro.
titable industry paying dividends as
high as 100 per cent annually is the
production of sugar, Due 1t also is
monopolized. The land suitable for
sugar cane is in the hands of favor
ed few. The coffee industry, which
may or may not prove profitable, is
open to man of limited means, who
can wait five years for his first Ie-
turns. The growing of rice Is in the
hands OF the Cinnamon, and will stay
there, as they are best adopted to its
culture. ! have some friends who are
growing coffee and making money,
