BEAUF0RT'S TELEPHONE
SYSTEM
Is Being Extended Through Beau
fort County and Further West.

Beaufort, S. c., Dec. 2.-Since the es-
Enlistment of the Peoples Telephone
Company here a few years ago by r.
A. Long his numerous lines have been
of extensive benefit to Beaufort and
the various sections connected. The
work of extending the line to Yemas-
see was begun yesterday and is ex-
pected to be complete about Jan. l.
This will afford additional stations at
Sheldon, Tomotley and Josselson's
store along the line of the Charleston
and Western Carolina Railroad.
After reaching Yemassee the line will
be further extended to Pocotaligo and
probably to McPhersonville The
Hampton Telephone Company will
connect with the Peoples Company at
McPhersonville or Yemassee in the
near future. which will give Beaufort
direct connection with many places in
Hampton county.
An important extension of the Peo-
pies Company will also be made from
Beaufort to eight or ten points along
Broad river, that section being con-
Sldered the richest land for truck
planting. This extension will be made
just as soon as the line is completed
to Yemassee. There are numerous
truck farmers along Broad river, who
hope that the Charleston and Western
Carolina Railroad will soon construct
a spur track to their section to enable
them to ship their products without
delay to the main lines.
The absence of such branch road
has long compelled the truckers to
haul their products through miles of
heavy sand and thereby caused a great
inconvenience, delay and frequent fail
ures to reach distant markets speedily.
This has resulted in pecuniary loss by
reduced prices for delayed truck. 1t
is urged that if spur is built a great
deal more truck will be planted.
When Mr.. Long started the Peoples
Company, there were only ten teIe-
phones in town, and he did not expect
more than forty patrons, but the pub
lie became so well pleased with the
excellent management of his system
that the number of his patrons have
now reached nearly $40.
