OPENED MONDAY
The Carrollton Public Schools
opened last Monday with the largest
enrollment the school has ever had,
there being 538 pupils enrolled the
first day, compared with 456 on the
first day of last year, an increase
of 82.
The auditorium was taxed to its
utmost capacity with friends and
patrons who have the welfare of the
school at heart.
Appropriate talks were made by
Revs. Edmondson, Dodd, Sox, Do
zier, Roop and Messrs. Barron, Snead
and the venerable president of the
Board, Dr. W. W. Fitts. Mr. Claud
Hogan, a graduate of this school,
but now a student at Athens, made
an interesting talk also.
With the splendid corps of teach
ers and the co-operation of parents
and pupils this should be the best
year inthe history of the school.

Telephone Notice
To our subscribers
We recently mailed to each of
our subscribers whose contracts pro
vide for monthly payments, more
than two thousand in all, a notice,
a copy of which is published here
with. It is aimed at no special per
son and is no reflection of the credit
of any one who receives it. All
other telephone companies, so far as
our information goes, bill rentals in
advance. This action is in line with
the decision of the Georgia Railroad
Commission in the Carrollton Rate
Case October 13th 1910, file No. 9429
in which they passed an order mak
ing rentals “payable in advance.”
They refused to consider any loss of
rentals in fixing rentals but stated
that there ought to be no loss for
the reason we should collect in ad
vance just as a railroad collects for
a ticket before the pise i »if rideo i
the train. Collecting in advance
does not mean lowering the standard
of service but it will improve the
service, for our Managers will have
time to clear trouble when they are
relieved of the constant chase after
bad debts, besides the Company will
have hundreds of Dollars annually
to devote to improvements. Nor
does it mean that a subscriber must
pay something for nothing, for if
he fail to get service he is entitled
to proper rebates, according to his
contract, to come out of the next
bill. A merchant or other private
person may pick and choose his cred
it customers but a public servic cor^
poration must furnish service to all
alike under like conditions. If we
do a credit business we must credit
all. The folly of this plan is attest-
ted by several thousand dollars un
collected and uncollectable now on
our books.
Your payments in advance are
noi to an irresponsible person
who takes your money and skips
the country. This company could
not retire from business if it would.
It has invested thausands of Dollars
for plants which would be worthless
for any other purpose and pays out
hundreds of dollars monthly for
Managers, Operators, Troublemen,
Construction Crews and others to
furnish you efficient service and if
any subscriber does not get such
service through the local manager,
he is requested to report direct to
the General Manager, in writing as
is provided for in his contract at
any time.
Thanking all for their co-operation
in this movement for the benefit of
