fc 7 OL. 3. FURNITURE JAXSON FURNITURE COMPANY THE FARMERS' CORN CLUB CONTINUES TO GROW IN INTEREST AND NUMBERS. Since Last Issue Many Prominent Planters Have Entered the Contest Our corn dub keeps growing ami would like to see every farmer in .this vicinity enter the contest. Last week we failed to publish some of the most prominent names in the club. This week we take pleasure in publishing another list and will thank anyone, who reads this list, to advise us if we have left out any names. T Ids is a free for-all contest, open to any farmer in our territory, and should any name be left off, it will simply be done througrfirror. Our intelli gent farmers are thoroughly aroused see the absolute necessity of Mfcperoting for the benefit of our and dor the improvement of methods. Wipe out the farms and every other interest in this county ''ill wither and die. Our merchants would go into bankruptcy, our banks would close their doors, grass and weeds would grow up in the streets of our city and, ere long our buildings would crumble to tne ground and hardly a vestige would remain to mark the place where the best corn club of Georgia was or ganized in two weeks, where a new railroad is soon to he built, and where Bleckley county will soon he formed and numbered among the best and most progressive counties in the state of Georgia. Mr. Farmer, it is up to you. T\e appeal to you as a patriot; we ap peal to you as a man who loves his neigh For; we appeal to you as a man from whose home conies the strength and hope of our country from vine covered cottage with its humble surroundings to stately mansion withits thousand of acres —to join us in our efforts to uplift our county and place it in the front rank of all the counties in the Bt (X)RN CLUB CONTESTANTS.

According to informa tion secured at the office ot Bell company here, there are 29 farmers’ lines connected with the Anderson exchange, serving 150 farmers, and 150 more telephones arc served by the farmers’ exchanges at Sandy Springs; at Princeton, ju.a over the line in Laurens county, from Honeu Path, and at Lowndesviile, just over the line in Abbeville_coimty. These last two farmers’ exchanges, while not in Anderson county, draw the greater portion of their patronage from Anderson The 300 farmers’ telephones are all inside the county. One of the seven sections of switchboard in the local telephone exchange is devoted entirely to the uses of the farmers’ linis. The other farmers’ exchanges —those mentioned at Sandy Springs, Princeton and Lowndesviile —are connected with the Anderson ex change with direct trunk lines. This gives to the rural telephone connect ion with the city and long distance lines of the Bell at all times. A re markable increase is shown in the number of farmers’ telephones. Five years ago there were 35 tele phones in the county outside the city, served by four lines, connected with the exchange here. In a measure, each-of the farmers’ telephone lines connected with the local exchange is an independent company. The plan lias been for those farmers who wanted ’phones to get together and organize, elect ing a president and other officers. A fund was raised for the erection of the line, securing equipment, etc., to build the line to the city limits. Here the Bell company made the connection with the ex change. The farmers who have thus organized themselves look after and keep up the lines, and service is furnished them at low rates, con nections being available with the city and long distance lines. It is believed that Anderson county has more rural telephones than any other county in the state. This claim is made by Manager W. S. Beaty of the local exchange, and also by others who are more or less familiar with such matters. The progress raadeMuring the 'past five years in this line has certainly been remarkable, and would not have been possible hut for the fact that Anderson county’s farmers are not only prosperous, hut modern and up-to-date. They are hard workers but appreciate and seek after con veniences in their homes. —Ander- son (S. C.) Daily Mail. FURNITURE Cochran, Georgia. COCHRAN CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
