• PERRY’S TELEPHONE SYSTEM WAS BORN
ABOUT 1901; J. D. MARTIN WAS FATHER
The new dial system going into
operation at 12:01 Sunday is a far
cry from the old “crank” system
of telephone communication which
was born in Perry about 1901 or
1902.
A man named J. D. Martin,
whose widow lives in Miami, Fla.,
and visits Perry often, started the
first telephone system from a room
in his home, 1001 Washington Ave
nue, where the Lawler family now
lives. The telephone exchange was
operated in the room which Mrs.
Irene Lawler Eden used for some
time as a gift shop.
By 1923, Mr. Martin had built up
a list of 75 subscribers in the town
of about 500 people. Mrs. Martin
and his daughters, Jane, Emily
and Katherine, used to help oper
ate the switchboard.
You Had to Crank It
In those days, the “crank type”
phone was used. You turned the
crank, lifted the receiver and gave
your number to the operator. The
operator plugged in your line and
the line you were calling, and turn
ed a crank which rang the num
ber called. You were ready to start
talking at the “hello” on the other
end.
Mr. Martin sold the telephone
system to a group of Perry busi
nessmen including Sam A. Nunn,
George C. Nunn, Dr. R. L. Cater,
L. F. Cater, J. P. Etheridge, J. W.
Bloodworth, and others. The price
was $5,000, and the “Houston Tele
phone Company” came into being.
Cater Rogers, now a rural mail
carrier, was living and working in
Hawkinsville at that time, and the
new company prevailed upon him
to come to Perry and manage the
DAVID WYNNE, HENDERSON RESIDENT,
TOP DANCER IN N. CAROLINA DRAMA
BOONE, N. C., —A young Geor
gian now residing in New York
City has the lead dancing role in
the nationally-famous summer out
door drama, Horn In The West,
now in its sixth season in the Ap
, palachian section of Western North
Carolina.
David Walton Wynne, 29-year
■ old transplanted Southerner who is
. a professional dancer working out
of Gotham, leads the Indian and
folk dances in this summer’s his
torical show and critics and ob
! servers have said the choreogra
phy is by far the best this year
■ that it has been in the play’s his
• tory.
Wynne, who has an extensive
background in the art of dance in
■ spite of his youth and the fact that
• he spent his formative years in
3 college working on a degree, comes
: from Perry, Ga., where he attend
-1 ed and was graduated from high
. school. The son of Mr. and Mrs.
. E. Wynne of Elko, Ga., he comple
• ted work on his Bachelor of Fine
I Arts degree from the University
of Georgia in 1949 and set out for
i the big city to follow his vocation.
1 i Receiving his early dance train
-1 ing with the University Theatre
! at Georgia, Wynne has since been
i active with the New Jersey Opera
1 Guild, the Bill Hooks Dance Com
pany, Choreographers Workshop,
a 4th Army Theatre Co., Charles
1 Weidmann Dance Theatre, the
i Pearl Lang Dance Company, and
the Juilliard Dance Theatre.
•! He has done television work on
s the Fred Waring Show and just
- before joining the Horn In The
; West company did an RCA net
-1 work show, Frontiers of Faith. He
also danced in Unto These Hills,
another outdoor drama which tells
>jthe story of the Cherokee Indians
given each summer in Cherokee,
N. C.
His association with the Hooks
v company in New York paved the
a way for his selection as the princi
h pal dancer in the “Horn” as Hooks
e choreographed the show. When the
instructor was hired for the job,
he promptly recommended Wynne
for the lead dance role.
One of the main additions to the
i, 1957 edition of Horn In The West
I- is the Fire Dance, which serves as
, a climax to the first act. As princi
pal dancer, Wynne is primarily
responsible for the splendid rc
sponse audiences have accorded
this exciting dance.
He is equally at home leading
a rollicking folk dance as he is
. performing the gyrations of an m
e tricate and colorful Indian number
j. and his work immediately attract
ed the attention of appreciative
2 crowds here.

children.

i- ed from Perry to Albany one year
i, ago and was a member of Christ’s

company.
“I didn’t know anything about
a telephone system,” Mr. Rogers
said, “but they told me that Mr.
Martin had a Negro man who
could install the phones and run
the wires, so I came to Perry in
April of 1923 and started mana
ging the company.”
Grew to 300 by 1928
In the five years from 1923 to
1928, the list of subscribers grew
to more than 300, the growth at
tributable to the coming of Penn-
Dixie Cement Corp. to Clinchfield.
In 1928, the Houston Telephone
Company sold the exchange to H.
A. Bond of Roberta. Mr. Bond died
in about 10 days after the sale and
his widow sold it after about two
years to a Mr. Bunn of Montezuma
for $15,000.
Mr. Bunn, apparently buying it
as an investment, sold it in a few
months to the company which be
came the Southeastern Telephone
Co. of Fitzgerald, the forerunner
of Georgia Continental Telephone
Co., the present owner.
Not long after the new company
bought the property, the magneto
(crank) system was replaced with
the present common battery sys
tem, which is on its way out this
weekend in the conversion to the
dial system.
Part of the present building
used to be an office alongside
warehouse scales, where the weigh
master could stay out of the rain
and set the scales. It has been add
ed to and remodeled several times
in the intervening years.
So the record reads from no
telephone in 1900 to about 1,500 in
1957.
He was born in Unadilla, Ga.,
and now makes his home at 350

MISSING MRS. HUNT: This
week a year ago Mrs. J. R. Hunt
died. She is missed by a lot of
people in town, because for 25
1 years she was a kind of a second
mother to a lot of men who are
in business here now. She ran what
she liked to call “A home with
• boarders.” When anyone would re
; fer to her home as “Mrs. Hunt’s
1 Boarding House”, she would cor
rect them and say it was “Mrs.
Hunt’s home with boarders”. For
most of the 25 years, hers was
the only home in Perry that accep
• ted men boarders. There were
others who took boarders, but they
did not last as Mrs. Hunt did. This
was her living, and she enjoyed
t her work. A lot of the men running
r the business places on our main
; streets are “graduates” of “Mrs.
Hunt’s Home with Boarders.”
