NO, THANK YOU.
Concord not Anxious to be at The Mercy Of
The Bell Telephone Company.

The Bell Telephone Company.
i Last week petition was circu.
lated among our business men
} asking the Concord Bell Telephone
Go. to allow the Bell Telephone
Co. to run it's long distance toll
: lines into the switchboard of the
former company here, thus ena-
bling patrons of that line to talk
to long distonce points over their
local phones.
At first blush this seemed reas-
enable enough and innocent
enough, but on second thought it
proved to be case of the Greeks
bearing gifts. The petition was
prepared by and circulated at the
instance of representatives of the
Southern Bell Telephone Co.
The Concord company has been
trying for several years to be al
lowed to establish a long distance
station in Salisbury, as by so do
ing it could connect with Concord
the towns of Statesville, Lexing-
ton, Thomasville, High Point and
Winston-S Salem, as all these now
connect with Salisbury over indie
pendent lines. The Bell Tele-
phone Co. has 50 far been able
to prevent our company from do
ing this. The Salisbury board of
alderman claim that they cannot
do this as they do not want to
have two system IN Salisbury,
when the Concord company does
not want to establish q local ex-
change but only to connect with
the other towns.
TheBell people have made
proposition to connect with the
Concord company fer long dis
tance busineess, but their contract
is so made as to give every advan.
tage in the world. 1t is utterly
unreasonable, and places our peo-
pie at the mercy of the Bell. I'm
der it all subscribers here are COM
PEELED to obey the rules of the
Bell, and no local lines can be ex-
tended without the permission of
the Bell. All messages must 60
over the Bell lines, even between
points connected with the Concord
company, as Mt. Pleasant and
China Grgve are are, Besides it
is a stimpulation that all new
phones put in must be Bell
phones or those approved by them.
They are only few of the many
advantages demanded by the Bell
people, and the Concord Tele-
phone 20. under it has to take
"the crumbs that fall from the
masters table"
The Bell Telephone Co. now char
ges for local service in Salisbury
50 90 and $50 q month for exact
ly the same service the Concord
Telephone Co. gives here for 81 90
and 81 so month, just about
half. If the above arrangement
were en- cred into the Concord
company would be compelled to
advance rates equal to those in
Salisbury.
We are glad to note that only
a few of our people signed the pc
tition prepared and circulated
here by the Bell company, and
some of them did 80 under mis-
understanding.
We are informed by good au
thority that the arrangement pro-
posed by the Bell company is a
plain violation of section 1, para
graph Q, of the antitrust law Of
North Carolina.
Concord has q splendid local
telephone system, and it does not
court the calamity of being at the
mercy of the Southern Bell and
Telegraph Company.-Concor

TO LEVY ASSESSMENT.

q i
The garantors of the Northeastern
Iowa Short Course will be called upon
to make up a deficiency which has
existed since the course was held
here last winter. The bad weather
effected the attendance to some
extent and officers in charge We're
not able to make both ends meet
in the matter Of expenses. AS is
we'll known the authorities at Ames
college will not establish a short
course anywhere until there is a
guarantee that all expenses will be
paid. Over a hundred of the public
spirited people in this vicinity signed
the short course guarantee and will
have to make up the shortage. 1t is
to be regretted that the attendance
was SO small that this excellent in
stitution could not pay expenses here
Unless there is a promise of a much
better attendance than heretofore the
course will in all probability not be
agai nlocated at Manchester. Other
cities in this section want the North
eastern Iowa Short course and Man
chester must wake up if it wants tc
keep it.
