A Rural Telephone System Out
of Wellington.
Lines to Be Built by Wealthy
Local Capitalists.
FRANCHISES GRANTED.
The Service Will Cost From
$12 to $I5 Yearly.
Sumner County to BE Network
Of Farm Lines.

WELLINGTON. kan, July 1s.-The Voice
says:
Wellington is to be the central point
in a rural telephone system which will
eventually embrace the entire county
and put practically every farm house IN
the county in instantaneous communl-
cation with the county seat. AS
system of communication it will be I'M
surpassed. It will also have its advan-
tageS as a means OF news gathering.
The promoters Of the enterprise are
John T. Stewart, the wealthiest man in
the state, T. F. Randolph. Geo. T. Pitts
and Ed. T. Hackney. A gratifying
feature of the company Is thatit is COM
posed entirely of home capitalists. 1t
will be known as the Home Telephone
Co. A franchise giving the company
the use of all county roads was granted
by the commissioners Friday evening.
They secured a franchise from the city
Monday night.
The company will have an experienced
man here in few days, and the work
of soliciting patrons fer the service Will
commence at once. Construction work
will begin just as soon as the routes
can be determined. Lines will be run
wherever enough patrons can be Sc
cured to make them pay. The service
will cost $12 or SIS a year. Possibly the
first two lines will extend southeast and
northwest along slate creek IN the
as the business will warrant it, lines
will be extended in every direction, and
will in time embrace the entire county.
The company will maintain a central
Office in Wellington. The system will
be operated just like the city system
Eventually, the company will establish
a city system. They have the franchise
and can do SO at once, although it is
not the intention to solicit patrons in
the city at present. Town farmers
who want phones win be supplied.
The promoters deny that it is their
intention to absorb either Of the local
telephone exchanges, but such result
seems in the natural order of things to
be inevitable With tn best rural mail
service in the country, and a first class
rural telephone system backed byplenty
