Some time ago the telephone
question was agitated. The rural
people are willing 70 have their lines
extended into Hickman. and connect
With their exchange at cayce. and
will run trunk line to the corner OF
Tyler's lakewood Farm. provided
the people Of Hickman are wiling
and will run the line from there 70
town and connect with a switchboard
in Hickman, the expenses TO be met
for maintaining the board by the
people here as they maintain theirs.
A number Of the merchants are
wiling TO take telephones from this
line and are anxious to do so. The
matter has been Tagging and no one
taking any interest for some time.
hence nothing has been done. Nov
II someone will take the matter
up and push II. We can have connec-
ton with all these people IN the
eastern part Of the county at prac-
tically no cost at all. AL that is
lacking is a leader, some one TO
take hold and 60 ask each one what
they will do TO help, and We feel
sure that in a very short time enough
encouragement and contributions
for preliminary work could be gotten
to get the lines into town. Il is
estimated that the line can b. run
here and a switchboard put in
operation for 5000. After this is
paid for there is practically no
expense attached TO the maintenance
of the exchange. We feel sure that
there are enough merchants VINO
would have these telephones installed
Immediately to pay the expense Of
installing a board. Won't some one
see II We cannot get this done soon1
There is no doubt but that such a
connection would be beneficial to all
the merchants, as we'll as the farm
ers.
After the rural people installed
their board, they have no more
expense. except twenty FIVE cents a
month which is to pay the operator.
and an additional FIVE cents, which
goes into a sinking fund for smer-
gency expense. There is no reason
Why the same economy could not be
practiced in Hickman with similar
exchange.

The Fiscal Court, Tuesday, lev
led a S cent tax to be used for the
purpose Of pulling scrapers etc. in
working the county roads, the pro-
ceeds which will amount to about
$1,000 year, TO be divided to the
four Maeis,erial Districts, the mag
istrates Of their respective districts
to have full charge Of the work, and
to sign all orders on the sheriff for
funds. This revenue will provid.
about $500 for each district. We
are glad for the bottom people that
this tar was levied. as it will be just
$500 more than they have ever had
befors-but as for the balance Of the
county, the benefits derived will be
hardly noticeable. II the people
had an opportunity to vote on the
question they would favor a tar or
bonds.

REVOLUTION IN
COAL SHIPMENTS

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. ACCORD
ing to steam coal experts a revolution
is impending in soft coal shipment,
from this and other Atlantic ports, due
to the removal of the Atlantic battle
ship fleet to the Pacific coast.
In the first place. the belief is gen.
eral here that the fleet will go to the
Pacific never to return. This would
mean the shipment in the next few
years of millions of tons of coal to
Pacific ports for the use of the battle
ships Necessarily this coal must go
in ships from eastern ports, as the
freight rates make the price Of coal
delivered on the Pacific coast almost
prohibitIve.
The prediction is made that within g
few months manufacturers will be
paying largely increased prices for
steam coal because Of the scarcity OF
that product due to the government
demand for it.
For some time past government
agents have been quietly collecting in
formation regarding the coal shipping
possibilities of the various ports on the
Atlantic coast with a view of using
those most available when the govern
ment demands begin.
1t is the desire to store coal in large
quantities on the Pacific coast in adj
vance of the arrival there of the bat
tleship fleet.
