ALEXANDER TELEPHONE.
Extension of Lines, Cheap and
Satisfactory Service.

L. j. Alexander passed through
town yesterday Ell route TO Smith
land TO superintend the final tou-
ches of the extension of his tele-
phone line into that place. He
expects to be able to ring mp, not
all the world, but goodly portion
of the choicest sections thereof,
from the antique, but still thriv-
ing citadel of old Livingston
Smithland, as we'll as the towns
between here and there, will be on
the Marion exchange. This is
something unusual in the tele-
phone business--Smithland is
thirty miles away, yet the hun
dred or more subscribers on the
Marion exchange have free access
to that town. This is in keeping
with the liberal policy Of the Al
exander line. This line reaches
all the principal towns in Critten-
den county, many country resi-
dences, and now it goes into Liv-
ingston county on the same broad
policy, and all of these are abso-
lutely free to Marion, and all the
in these smaller pla-
ces have free access to Marion and
to each other. The extension pla-
ces Smithland and Hampton and
other points in Livingston county,
on the same line on the same iibe-
raj terms, and this is an arrange
ment that the people of Marion
should appreciate, and we are glad
to note that they are showing
their appreciation by liberal pat
ronage. Mr.. Alexander came to
Marion and without competition
fixed a rate for the exchange that
is as low as is in vogue in any sec
ton of the country, and lower
than in many sections where other
more pretentious lines are operat-
ing; he extended the exchange to
adjacent towns, and without toll -
without money and without price
he united these towns, and has
given us a service that for prompt
ness, accuracy and reliability in
every particular is not excelled
To sum the whole mat
ter up briefly, he was the first in
the field, showing his faith in a
territory that others were disposed
TO leave for "a more convenient
season." he fixed low rate Of his
own free will, without being for
ced to do SO by strong competi- |
ton; he adj listed his lines to meet
the most exacting demands of the
public without stopping to meas
IRE the size of dividends: he |
shows no disposition to be conten-
ed with "well enough" but goes !

directions that are of most impor-
ance 10 Marion, as we'll as TO the

THE "cHERRY TREE" SCHEME
THOUSANDS OF GIRLS WRITE LET
TIERS AT $50 A MONTH.

A sect Rich Quick" AFFAIR That Ri

ThOusands-'They Pay SIP Each
for sixty Cherry Trees, which
They May Sell II They Wish and
There Are $40 a Month for Writ
ing Their Friends Extending the
Same OGer.
Columbia, S. c., Nov. 29.-Judging by
the chorus raised by county newspa-
pers in South Carolina this week and
the reports from North Carolina and
Georgia, there is being operated in this
section of the South "get rich quick"
plan that rivals the Miller Syndi-
cate" scheme in New York. A dozen
weekly newspapers that have been ac-
quainted with it's workings denounce
it as a swindle.
For weeks papers in the South At
lantic states have contained advertise
ments for girls who wanted steady
employment at home at $50 a month.
Only young girls were wanted; some
young married women would be adj
mitted; men were barred. Only in the
larger towns are girls found working
in stores; there are thousands of them
in smaller places and the country to
whom the offer made in these adver-
tisements was very alluring. Time
hangs heavy and they have a yearn-
ing TO make the pin money that is not
generally plentiful, particularly in a
bad crop year like this. So hundreds
thousands, indeed-have answered the
Amos Owens Cherry Tree Company at
Henrietta, N. C.
The applicants We're told to buy ssisSt
cherry trees of unstated variety and
age, for SIP. These they could sell
their friends at a profit if they wished.
Then they would be paid $40 month,
and all they would have to do was to
write live letters a day to friends or
persons whose names they knew, ex-
tending the same offer. and saying the
writer was earning $40 a month. The
scheme has been in operation for some
months, and up to this time all prom
ises have been met, but inquiring peo-
pie are trying to figure en- when he
end will be.
The young women have taken to the
lued UTMOST UNANIMOUSLY. LOtS OF
them have gone without a new hat or
Jacket in order to get that $12 to start
them in business. Fathers and broth
ers have been besieged by others; the
contents OF many savings banks have
been utilized.
A gentleman who comes here from
Henrietta says the Cherry Tree Com
pany is now receiving about $1,000
day and the receipts are constantly in
creasing. That is about 100 girls are
every day joining the endless chain"
and sending in their S12 each. The
concern perhaps has already 1000 cor
respondents, drawing $4,000 a month
in salaries. These are writing 5000 let
tiers daily, or 10000 a month At the
present ratio of increase, within an
other month 5000 girls will have paid
in $50, 900 for cherry trees and the pay
roll of this concern for clerk hire
would be 100000 month. And $780,
900 letters a month would be going
over the country asking for more help.
Where is the end?

REGULATORS NEAR AMERIcUs.
Innocent Negro Beaten for Failing
TO Give Information.

Americas, Ga. Nov. ga band of
regulators operating below Americas
last night, terribly beat an innocent
negro for refusing to divulge informa
ton desired. The regulators were
searching for another negro suspected
of barn burning, but failed to locate
him. Coming upon their victim the
regulators demanded to know the
whereabouts of the suspected incen-
diary, and when the information was
not forthcoming they terribly beat the
innocent negro, though he declared he
knew nothing of the whereabouts of
the other party. Several arrests will
follow tomorrow, and the grand jury
will investigate the reported outrage

ARMY MATTERS.
What Secretary Root Has 10 Say
About Them.

While the Secretary of War gives
good deal of attention to the ques-

the militia in his annual report, he has
much to say about the regular army
that is interesting.
THE improvement of conditions in
the Philippines during the spring and
summer of this year made it unneces-
sary to provide the maximum number
allowed by the law, and on the Sth of
May an order was made fixing the
enlisted strength of the several organ
izations in such a manner as to es
tablish the aggregate enlisted strength
of the army, including staff depart
ments, but exclusive of hospital corps
men. at 77,2S7 composed as follows:
