Spe ating Of rural phones. with ref
erence to the growth and popularity
of the system we here reproduce the
following article from an exchange:
One of the greatest benefits the
count ry has had in a long time is the
devel opment of the rural telephone
service.
1t is even better than the rural free
delivery of the mails
Telephone lines are being built
throu gh the country in every direc-
tion. They connect with central cX-
change in some town, and in this way
they give the people in the country
direct communication with the mark

ondS ascertain the price Cf his lTo-
duce cotton or other things he wants
10 sell or h" may ascertain the price
OF the things he wants to buy. He
may try several different markets
within few minutes by means of his
telephone.
The rural telephone is also police
protection Neighbors may warn each
other OF suspicious characters in the
neighborhood, or they may summon
help if it is needed.
II also makes the family physician a
next door neighbor to every man who
has Il phone.
The rural telephone is not only a
great convenience, but il is Il necessity.
man ON remote farm needs tele-
phone more than the man i'm the city.
for he man in the City is surrounded
by ncighborS on every side. and he
does not have to walk more than a
few blocks in order to supply any need
or iSh that may arise.
The rural telephone and the auto
mobile have annihilated time and dis
tance. They have made farm life more
attractive
The result is going to be that few
er people Will leave the farms for the
cities from now on, and there may be
an exodus from the cities back to the
farms Farm lands are going to be
more valuable
In fact If man has farm to sell
ne can add very largely to its selling
value by installing a phone on it,
In time Laurens county will be a
net work Of phone fines and it will
be possible for the farmers of Jacks
to communicate with those of all the
rest of the townships. as well as the
outside world. In fact the service
pretty we'll covers the county now,
but not until practically every farmer
installs a telephone will the system be
com mpl etc and its great advantages full
ly realized. Quite number of rural
communities are shut off from the
world--they are, i'm other words, iso-
lated, in that they are not in touch
with their neighbors by means of the
telephone

apartments extending out under the pavements as far as the curb line.
 Tn St. Louis cheap lodging houses are Tn a very good condition in spite Of the fact that there is no special supervision, and as a whole they are far superior to Philadelphia cheap lodging houses. One man is conduct. ing seven large lodging houses at ten cents night for a good bed in dormi. tory style. Then he has rooms. six feet square, with wooden partition six feet high, for 25 cents a night
 These seven houses were the best lodging houses I saw in any city I visited. Every lodger has the privi. ege of hot or cold tub bath. Every. thing was clean. The bed clothing was changed twice a week. Venti. ation was good This convinced me that ten-cent lodging houses can be constructed and managed in sani. tary manner and at a profit. I found some over-crowded, poorly ventilated and dirty. but they were the excep- tion.
 "As whole, St. Louis lodging hous- es are far superior to cheap lodging houses in Philadelphia.
 Indianapolis has practically no cheap lodging houses. For some req. son or other this city seems to be far from the hobo" and the other classes that usually occupy ten-cent lodging houses.
 Louisville has a great number of bad lodging houses, in which both negroes and whites live. and there Is absolutely no supervision over them.
 Columbus, with 100000 population has only two or three lodging houses; I mean large places that charge ten or 20 cents night. One of these is run by mission, and is in pretty good condition as to cleanliness and light but there is overcrowding and ventil alton is not good One other place visited Is in worse condition.
 Tn my opinion. cheap lodging hous. es should be licensed and closely su- pervised.
 Tn the case of ten and 25 cent lodg- ing houses in Pittsburg. the sanitary policemen look in when there is a complaint made, otherwise they never inspect them. I found them in fairly good condition, except for overcrowd- ing and bad ventilation, but the lodger does not get much for ten cents in Pittsburg."
