as to the same exchange for a year
ago, will give an idea Of the remark
able increase Of the phone service in
Newberry county. The Prosperity ex-
change is one Of the best and most
flourishing, comparatively, in the
whole system Of the Southern Bell.
This growth is a credit to the people
Of Prosperity and the surrounding
communities. and is very gratifying
to the Southern Bell people.
The Little Mountain Exchange.
As stated above, The Herald and
News some time ago gave the figures
showing the remarkable increase in
the number Of stations connected with
the Little Mountain exchange, which,
as stated. is also connected directly
by trunk line with the Chaplin ex-
change. This gives the county an ad-
ditional more than one hundred
phones in the Little Mountain sec
tion, in addition to the connections
on the Chaplin switch board, in Lex
ington county.
New Lines Being Constructed.
The Herald and News has frequent
" during the past several months
called attention to the new lines
which have been built. Manager
Robinson stated yesterday that the
Southern Bell had contracts for and
had completed its work on two lines
running ont the lower steel bridge
road. which will connect fourteen
stations. The subscribers have almost
completed their part Of the work. and
they will connect within short time.
as soon as the crops are laid by.
"Also." said Manager Robinson,
"aS soon as the grass is out Of the
cotton there is no doubt about my
connecting two, and most probably
three, lines. two to extend out the
lower steel bridge road into Saluda
county. and one Of these to be about
thirteen miles long"
The development Of the Newberry
exchange has far exceeded Manager
Robinson 5 expectations. and he ex-
poets to accomplish great deal more
as soon as the farmers have time to
talk to him. There is now no road
leading into Prosperity that is not
lined with telephone poles.
All Of the thirty-fve farmers line
stations connected with the Prosper
ity exchange have been connected
since last September, and ten of the
telephone stations in the town. have
been installed since that time.
The Pomaria Telephone exchange
has also been connected since that
time, and has now grown to fifty
three stations, and it is expected that
it will reach seventy-fve this fall.
The total increase in stations since
September l is SO.
This is story Of remarkable
progress, and the development is
something Of which the county and
Manager Robinson and the Southern
Bell haya a right 10 be proud.

Investigation shows that for the

tally increase the business in favor

Such figures as the above, which
are authentic in every detail, are
liable to make any railway official
sit up and take notice; and no doubt
the 500 people wish they could
devise some means by which they
could deviate from their pres
