phone company failing to consolidate
with the Bell. 1t is believed that
ninety per cent of its 1900 subscri-
bers do not care for more extend
ed long distance than now in use
but that it's only the very few who
care to talk to New York and San
Francisco from their Office and these
calls are far between. The local
company is in connection with the
Postal Telegraph Company and
reaches all important cities in the
south and southwest (and no doubt
this connection is what caused the
Bell Company to see ghost). The
local company also reaches many
points In the state over its own lines
and the service. both local and long
distance, is just about half what in

people to shoulder white elephant?
The local company will no doubt
be glad to give the long distance
service to any point not reached by
its company but consolidation is
another thing.
With a raise Of rates following
such a step where would anything

two phones now only cost what one
phone will cost with consolidation.
so the Bell phone could be used now
entirely for long distance and the
North State for local and vet the

INESTRETCH.
A GREAT FORWARD STEP

High Point to Be Linked Toeetbe,
with Best Road in the Country
Work to Commence Soon.
1t is good news that has been flashed
over the country that Guilford county
takes the lead in building the high
est grade road bed for distance of
is miles.
The board of county commission
ers. Tuesday voted unanimously to
borrow sum not to exceed. S125.-
900 with which to construct imme-
diately. between Greensboro and
High Point, concrete-asphalt high
way. Between four and five miles
of such highway has already been
built. something over two miles
from each point. and there remains
approximately 10 miles to be con-
structed. 1t is estimated that the
work will cost about $12,5 per
mile.
The work will be done by con-
tract being the intention of the
board to have the improvement
made by a force outside of the
county convicts. so that the latter
may be used continuously on i'm
provement and repair work in other
sections of the county. The new
highway which is TO be of the very
highest class to be found in the
United States, will be completed
during the coming summer. 1t will
be the finest section of roadway to
be found in North Carolina, connect
lug the best two towns in the state;
and will likewise be the finest link
in this state of the National and
Central highways. 1t will be a
model by which other counties may
be guided in future highway i'm
pTeveIi8ents.

he was President he did for the United

the iron Of terror into the heart OF
