Roads Make Profit.
According to the testimony offered

600, 900. The company made such APP
~portionment on it's operating expenses
and receipts within the state as to show
a net profit on intra-passenger traffic
for the year ending June 80, 1908, at 8
cents per mile OF SIPS, 1856. 95. The COM
pany the applied the basis of the q
cent rate to it's present business, which,
according to the figures presented by
the company, would show a loss.
The testimony offered by Mr.. Hill
man shows that the Chicago & North
western railway did earn net profits on
Its intra or local business during the
year ending June 80, 1908, of 1869, 1884. 5S,
on the present rate Of 8 cents per mile
for straight one-way tickets, and 21a
cents per mile on mileage books. Mr..
Hillman then reduced all tickets to a
2-cent rate nj allowing for short
line competition, showed that even with
the present business at the 2-cent
rate the company would earn, as net
profits, OF ~intrastate passenger bust
ness, above all expenses and taxes,
the sum of $1S6, 662. IS. This does not
take into account any stimulus to trav-
ell by reduced rate, but shows from the
viewpoint of the state that the COM
pany can operate it's South Dakota
lines at a profit on its present pas
senger business with q 2-cent fare.

We regret to note that the resident
freeholders of Johnstone school dis
trict are making an effort to repeal
the special tax which has heretofore
been voted in that district for the
maintenance of the school. This
school had very prosperous session
which recently closed and was for
tunate in having an experienced
teacher. This should have encourag-
ed the patrons to increase the levy
rather than repeal any existing tax.
Their school building needs re-
pairs and painting and they should
desire to have the very best talent
possible and to do these things it
requires money. We would like to
see the proposition to repeal the tax
voted down.

so as to be present and. give MIR.
Wood most cordial and hearty re-
ception.
There is still room on the roll of
members for more of our business
men and we hope that the member
ship will be materially increased be-
tween now and the 18th of May.

EXTEND PHONE SYSTEM.


The lower section of Newberry
county in and around Little Noun
tain, Prosperity and Pomaria has a
complete net work of telephones.
In fact nearly every farm house in
this entire section has phone con-
nection and those that have not are
making arrangements to secure it.
There is a large exchange at
Prosperity and also at Little Noun
tain and there is one at Pomaria.
Somehow in the upper section Of
the county the people have not yet
generally secured phone connection
to their homes.
A line has been built from New
berry to Chappells but there is only
a central office at Chappells. There
is no reason why there should not
be a large exchange at Chappells.
Chappells has a bank, seven flour
ishing stores, wood-shops, ginner-
les, and is one Of the best trading
points in the county.
Newberry ought to have phone
connection with all that section Of
the county including a number OF
residents in Saluda county. With
the railroad schedules as they are
now people from that section Of the
county can come to NeWberry, spend
several hours and return in the af-
ternoon. With a good exchange at
Chappells and a number of phones
in the country homes, the people
would be much nearer to. US.
The line between Newberry and
Chappells has been built by using
the telegraph poles. We would like
to see this line extend to Dyson and
from Dyson we are satisfied a num-
Der of connections could be made.
Dyson is only twenty-three miles
from Newberry and NeWberry
should be the banking. and trading
point for the people of that section
and as stated phone connection with
the city would bring them much
nearer to US. In fact we would then
be in talking distance Of each other.
We understand that fifteen or
twenty private phones could be put
in at Chappells with very little ef7
fort and if an exchange would start
there it would not be long before the
number would increase to fifty or
one hundred. That was the exper-
ience of the exchange at Little
Mountain when it was first decided
to open an exchange at that point.
If the Western Union poles could
be used to Dyson the people on that
side of the river could very easily
build their line to connect with the
exchange at Chappells. We hope
that the Southern Bell company will
take this matter up at once.

he ordered and which he ought to
have bought from one Of the dealers

whether he has commenced work on

Laurens line which he promised to
do some weeks ago. There may be
some other excuse but excuses do
not build roads and we were depend
