set aside when the new schedule of
rates provided for become effective, ;
on the ground that these preferen* j
tial rates are discriminatory. The j
effect of this is that all municipali
ties, holder.', of concessions on ac
count of irancmse agreement: , and
the like, are brought upon the same
basis as other users of the telephone
service.
Incident to the granting of the
major portion of the company’s pe
tition—and as a result of which fi
nancial negotiations are at once to
be made to provide the ways and
means —additions and extensions t o
plant in Georgia, the cost of whicn
approximate $.1,402,964, are to be
made, and this is shown to be but
a portion of general construction
program in this state which covers
a period of five years, the total of
that program being $12,820,310, a
considerable portion of the first
year’s expenditure to be in the city
of Atlanta and its surrounding ter
ritory. And, in that connection, the j
commission shows that it finds 40 |
per cent of the company’s total in- j
vestment in Georgia is located in At- i
lanta, and that Atlanta pays 38 per
cent of the company’s total gross in
come.

A LETTER
(Continued From Page One.)
-who know anything of the present conditions are thoroughly aroused
and are ready to respond promptly to this cause. Very truly yours,
Americas, Feb. 5, 1921. W. W. DYKES.
And now to let the public on the “inside.” W. W. Dykes has been
made chairman for Sumter county of this European Relief work, and
he and his advisors have determined that Sumter county shall not fail
to do her pait to keep the destitute millions of women and children
from starving until the next harvest. But she will have the oppor
tunity of doing it in an unusual way.
"1 was in Atlanta Monday,” said Mr. Dykes, speaking to a friend,
“and 1 dropped in at the office of Marvin E. Underwood, the state
chairman, whom I have known a good while, to tell him that be
cause of conditions it would be imposible for any campaign to be put
on in Sumter county at this time. But he handed me this Vienna
letter and a handful more as pitiful. There was no backing away
from it; in fifteen minutes he had me almost apologizing for having
even thought of such a thing. I came home with my heart touched
and ready to go to it, for we can’t sit here, with plenty to eat our
selves, and let these people starve to death.”
Mr. Dykes called in a few to assist in making plans and it was
decided to proceed on a plan a iittle different. It was decided that
the chief difficulty just now is ready money; that the people’s hearts
are as easily reached as ever. It was recalled that many people) now
have provisions in plentiful supply that they cannot readily turn into
money. So it was decided to let all who care to help in this move
ment and who will do so, donate produce or any product that has
value.
J. E. Hightower has offered the use of his toy store on Jackson
street for a headquarters where donations may be delivered and as
sembled. It is proposed to gather this produce so donated at this
room, put it in charge of some organization or inividuals, and in
vite the public to come and supply household needs from it. Thus
will it be turned into cash and the (ash be made available to forward
to help these starving Europeans.
Ail who are able and will contribute are asked to do so at once,
a: the need is great. The blank on the front page may be
filled out and mailed either to W. W. Dykes, Chairman, or to The
Times-Recorder.
