Boycott Telephone Company.

The people Of Magnolia are face
to face with a proposition Of either
paying a toll every time they talk out
side of Magnolia or having their tel
ephones removed. Since the tcle-
phone system, which is home corpor-
alton, was established, one Of the con-
ditions upon which every subscriber
had telephones placed for their use
was that no charge was to be made for
service anywhere il the county. A
few days ago the Home Telephone
Company notified the subscribers that
after Dec. % charge of 10 cents
would be made on all connections out
side of the town. The citizens and
businessmen Immediately got togeth-
er and a petition, containing the
names Of 100 subscribers, was present
ed, ordering their telephones removed
without further delay. The list, with
two exceptions, was signed by every
business house in town, and frequent
expressions Of determination to do
without telephone service rather than
submit to, the extra charge is heard.
