THIRTEENTH REPORT.
Stockholders Meeting of the Wausau
Telephone Company.

The thirteenth annual meeting of the
Wausau Telephone Co. was held last
Tuesday evening in the supervisors
room of the court house, at which there
was large representation of the COM
| pany's stock.
The meeting was called to order at
eight o'clock by President N. Heine-
mann, followed by the reading of the
annual report by G. D. Jones which is
here given:
GENTLEMEN-We present to you here
with our thirteenth annual rep@rt
There has been nothing eventful in the
history of the company during the past
year. We have had steady growth,
and our service has been, we believe.
highly satisfactory. We have not en-
gagged in any canvass or special effort
to extend or enlarge the companys
business, but have simply taken that
which has come to our office. Our re-
port year ago showed seven hundred
and eighty-eight (7SS) telephones in use
Jan. 1st, 1907. We had eight hundred
eighty-seven (S87) telephones in use
Jan. 1st, 1908. IN increase of ninety
nine (99) during the year. There has
been steady demand for more ts!e-
phones, and we believe the growth for
the coming year will equal that of last.
Our itemized report herewith presented
shows that we have expended during
the past year for material and labor
outside of operating expenses ten thous-
and five hundred and thirty dollars and
eighty cents (S10, $50 S0) Nearly the
whole of this has been so expended for
permanent improvements and exten-
sions. Our net Indebtedness a year
ago, as shown by our report, was
twenty five thousand four hundred
eighty-eight dollars and sixty cents
S25, 4S8 go. This year our report shows
it to be twenty four thousand five hun
dred forty dollars and eighty three
cents 1874, $40 S3). We have our lines
and equipment, though fairly complete
now, and the cost of extensions and i'm
provements for Ghe next year will, we
believe, be very much less than for the
year just completed. We do not, there
fore, recommend any change in the
present rates at this time. Should our
growth, however, exceed our expecta-
tions, it may be necessary for us to
either increase our capital stock or our
rates in order to provide for more
speedy payment of our debts. We
think our stockholders and our patrons
as well should have this under con-
sideration.

Registration List Swelled

Monday was the liveliest day for
business in the Office of the supervisor
of registration within the history of
the county, and the supervisor, Mr..
w. S. Norwood, said he came nearer
earning his salary that day than any
day since he had been in that Office.
The colored registration was in the
majority and scores of negroes from
all parts of the county qualified with
the law to cast their ballot in the
coming county site election.
The registration list will be swelled
to between 1000 and 100 votes and
, it is presumed that a heavy vote will
be polled in all precincts.

BINED KNOWIEDGE0F SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings 70

edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last but not least, brings to the nome the
vast and varied experience Of DR.. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, All
in the treatment o { catarrhal disease.
The f.ct is, ch~cnic cat7rrh is a d,s-
ease which is v,rv rre~a.ent. Wy
thousand peop.e know they have
chronic cataTrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been

ords might be destroyed; but, waving
all Of these objections, if one fire-proof
building is to be put up at Cocoa capa-
Bile Of accommodating the court and all
county officers as well as the jail, and
is to be absolutely fire proof, what will
be the cost of such a structure?
Is it unreasonable to say that by the
time this structure was completed, and
all the county officers housed in it, that
the county would be out at least 80, =
10000? The people Of Cocoa would nat
urally be anxious that the building,
when erected, should be a credit 10
their village, and there would be con-
siderable sentiment in the body OF the
county at large in favor Of erecting
creditable building whenever new
courthouse is undertaken. Instead OF
$25, 600 the Taxpayers might have TO
face an expenditure such as other coun-
ties have made, and l do not think It
unreasonable to predict that $40, 600
would be nearer the figure that the tax
payers would have to meet.
Upon the present assessed valuation
of Brevard county it would take spe-
cial building tax of five mills for four
years to provide this money.
AS taxes are lien upon the property
the taxpayer who votes for the removal
of the county seat practically votes to
put mortgage upon his property for
the next four years, and this is not only
burdensOme to the freeholders, who al
ways find the taxes coming due when
money is hard to raise or they have
other uses for it, but it tends to lower
values and retard sales, and thus dimin-
ish the capital of the land owners, for
by far the greater part of the capital of
our people is invested in their lands.
WHY THEN SHOULD YOU VOTE TO
REMOVE THE COUNTY SEAT?

Plain Understanding of Facts

We are pleased to note that the
people of the county are getting a
plain and business-like understand
ing of the county seat removal ques-
ton. We are pleased, too, to pub
lish letters from Merritt's Island and
from Malabar, over the signatures
of the writer's, which go to show
that there is a growing sentiment in
favor of making no change of county
site.
The statement which was circu-
lated broadcast at first, that nearly
all the county property was destroy
ed, is being corrected by calm and
dispassionate argument and state
ment of fact. Those who have the
welfare of the county at heart, and
who do not wish to thrust burden
of taxation upon themselves, will no
doubt firmly resolve to vote in favor
of retaining the county seat at Titus
vile.
If you, reader, are not already
convinced that retaining the county
seat at Titusville is to your best in
, terest, we ask you to carefully read
the communication in this issue sign
ed by Mr.. g. NJ. Robbins, on pages
| and 4.

Pushing Work on Canal

The dredge South Carolina has been
towed up North river and the work
of cutting canal through the narrow
strip of land that separates the waters
of the st. Johns river from those of
North river and the inland waterway
along the entire east coast of Florida
will be still further increased, says
the St. Augustine Meteor.
The work that has been pushed for
the past several months ar an expense
of some half thousand dollars per dav
gives one pretty good idea of the
magnitude Of the task Of digging a
canal through a vast forest of gigan-
tic oaks and other hard wood trees.
The trees are first felled and laid
along each side of the line Of the ca
nal, forming perfe ct cordurOyS. On
these corduroyS the eXcavatorS work.
digging out the earth TO a depth of
six feet, and, with their long arms.
placing the dirt some thirty feet from
the line of the canal on each side.
The dredge next comes along and
perfectS the work of forming a canal
on each side sixty feet in width and
six feet depth Of water.
This great piece of work is being
pushed by night and by day, three
sets of crews being used to keep the
machinery in constant motion. 1t i,
estimated that it will take two years
of active work to complete the job.

Cannot Solicit by Mail

A new and interesting phase of
Georgia's anti-liquOr laws is con-
strued in Adhesion handed down Fri
day by the state court of appeals in
the cases of Rose VS.. the state and
the r. M. Rose company VS.. the state,
brought up from the superior court
of Barlow county.
The court holds that it is a viola
ton of section 428 of the code, which
prohibits personal solicitation of or
ders for intoxicating liquors in pro-
hibition territory for a person to so
licit such orders through the medium
of the United States mails.
A number of circular letters solicit
ting orders for whiskey and signed
by the R. M. Rose company, of Chat
tanooga, were received by parties in
Barlow county.
The grand jury took the matter up
and indicted r. M. Rose and the COM
pany for a misdemeanor, for viola
ton of the code section in question,
section which, by the way, was en-
acted long before the prohibition law
was passed, and which has for years
been applicable to all counties dry
under local option.
The defendants demurred to the
indictments on the ground that sOlic-
itatiOn of orders for liquors through
the mails could not be held in viola
ton of law against personal solicit
tation.
The court Of appeals sustains the
decision of Barlow superior court in
overruling the demurrers, and the
cases now go back for trial on their
merits. The courts decision was
written by Judge R. B. Russell, and
concurred in by the other members
of the court.
The court holds that the use of the
mails for the purpose of soliciting or
ders for Intoxicating liquors is per-
Sonal solicitation, and is therefore a
violation of the code section in ques-
ton. 1t is held that the term to so
licit personally includes any act which
may be done by the seller tending to
effect sale.
The state has a right to prohibit
the violation of its laws through a
use of the mails, without in any sense
infringing upon the national govern
ment's right to control the mails.
