Phenomenally Low Rates for an Excellent Service That Con? nects Staunton, Lexington, Buena Vista, Clifton Forge, Covington and Waynesboro and Also Fifty-three Coun? try Lines?Country Patrons Have 'Phones for 5553.00 Per Annum?City Patrons Pay $1$ for Residence and #20 for Business 'Phones?Long Distance Telephone Com? pany Reaching Out Toward Norfolk?It May Give the Bell Octopus a Hot Fight?The Independent Company at Staunton Successfully Fighting the Bell Monopoly. Now that the telephone monopoly question Is up In Norfolk and the hour near at hand when the citizens of this city are either to be protected by their public servants or by them bound hand and foot and turned over to the jug? gernaut car of the great Bell telephone monopoly, the enterprising little city of Staunton, the bright gem of the great Valley of Virginia, affords an object lesson that Norfolk people will admire and may well profit by. We will brielly sketch the interesting story of telephone service at Staunton and its tributary section and present some facts and figures that should cause all of our citizens to think and then act. In lSli'i the Bell people had about thirty-live phones at Staunton and were charging about $-10 per 'phone. A few Independent country lines had then been built into Staunton, and. af? ter some persuasion, a local business man was induced to connect them up and establish an exchange. This was the germ that has quickly grown into a great telephone system conecting Staunton, Lexington, Buena Vista* Clifton Forge. Coylngton, Wnynesboro and llfty-tliree country lines. There are now In Staunton. connect? ed with this independent system, be? tween 500 and GOO 'phones and about 1,000 on the country lines. Each sub? scriber in the city paya JUi.On a year for residence 'phone and 520.00 a year for business 'phone. This charge gives free access not only to the exchanges In the eitles and towns mentioned and the 1.00O country 'phones. BUT ALSO TO FIFTEEN OR TWENTY OTHER EXCHANGES UP AND DOWN THE VALLEY AS FAR AS WINCHES? TER. The company is putting in new 'phones at a rapid rate, is giving good service, is paying fair salaries, is mak? ing a. reasonable and satisfactory in? terest on invested capital, AND IS MAKING NO COMPLAINT ABOUT T1II0 INCREASED COST OF OPER? ATING AN INCREASED NUMBER OF 'PHONES. In short, the indepen? dent company Is steadily going ahead In a business-like way and not at? tempting to hold up the people who re? ly on It for service. THE BELL'S USUAL TACTICS. Shortly after the new company got tinder way. the Bell people lowered their rate to $20.00. and something over a year ago made a further cut to $6.00, at which rate they are still giving ser? vice to an extremely small number of people. The Virginian-Pilot la in? formed, however, that thf Bell Com? pany Is not making enough at Statin ton to pay Its day and night operator. Deficits like Ibis have to be met. how? ever, . and so, It seems reasonable to believe, some other community is being gouged by the Bell octopus to even up things at Staunton and elsewhere. Where similar conditions prevail, and the Bell is endeavoring by any and every means to stifle local competition. At several sessions of the State Legis? lature, it is stated, the Hell Company has endeavored to secure legislation that would kill off the Staunton com? pany and establish a monopoly there. The people there fear that it* it should over succeed it would at once .lump up prices, us it has elsewhere, where It has frozen out, bought up or otherwise stltied local companies. At the hist scsssion of the Legislature the Moll in? terests came near securing the pas? sage of a bill that would ruin every In? dependent telephone exchange in Vir? ginia. INDEPENDENT LONG- DISTANCE COMPANY. A numbr of the business men of this State have united together and formed what Is known as the Long Distance Telephone Company of Virginia. This company is now erecting lines between Staunton and Harrlsonburg, and Staunton and Charlottesvllle (from which point it has a line to Richmond), nnd between Staunton and Roanoke, Ronnoke and Lynchburg, Lynchburg and Petersburg, Petersburg ami Rich? mond. Richmond and Newport News and Hampton, and it hopes later to en? ter Norfolk-. These lines nnmed are all under con? struction, except the one between Pe? tersburg and Lynchburg, for which the contract will be let soon. The new long illstance company proposes to make its toll rate only cent a mile, while the Roll people charges, according to the rate table, appear to approximate 1 cent a mile. If the people of the State will stand by the independent com? pany, there seems little reason to doubt thai it can not only hold its ground, but extend its service and onlurgo Its usefulness over a large additional area, and give tho people of the sections served a good service at a very reason? able rate, but should the people and cities do anything to cripple the inde? pendent company, it would probably be only a question of time when the Hell people will not only be charging $i"iO. as in Norfolk, but anywhere from $100 to $300, as they are In other places. Tho Long Distance Telephone Com? pany of Virginia is pulling up ten met? allic circuit, copper wire, chestnut poles, galvanized braces, all heart cross-arms and locust pins; In fact, a plant equal, it not superior to, the Dell line. COST OF STAUNTON PLANT. The Mutual Telephone Company plant at Staunton, which we have de? scribed above, with Its 56."? city 'phones and about 1,000 country 'phones, and wires covering a radius of one hundred miles, cost about $35.000. The system in use is the common return system. Several leading citizens of Stauntop and Augusta county have Informed tho Virginian-Pilot that the Mutual Com? pany service is eminently satisfactory. Its exchange employs seven day and live night operators, and the exchange Is kept open all night. EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS AT N O R FO LK - O N -T II E - R O A D S? THE NEW HOTEL. The benefit that suburban property derives from a first-class double-track electric railroad has never been more rapidly demonstrated than is shown by the Norfolk and Atlantic Terminal Line traversing Lambert's Point via Noffolk-on-the- Roads. Tltis road lias only been In opera? tion a little over six weeks, and there a get-up and go-ahead spirit along the entire route. Large villa sites nothing less than ~'~> feet and K? feet? are being purchased by the very best people of this section for the erection of permanent residences. Dally Nor? folk-bn-the-Roads is visited by heads of families, accompanied by ladies, to make selections of villa sites. Mr. C. R. Parlett, contractor and builder, has been awarded the contract for the erection of the Plney Leach Motel, which is to be 3f>0 feel in length, four stories high, and first-class In every style and detail.

COMPLIMENT TO MR-ST- JOHN. HOW HIS FRIENDS UEOAHD AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM LON? DON. (Baltimore Sun, 30th.) The London dispatch published In the Sun yesterday, which stated that Vice-President St. John, of the Sea? board Air Line, might be elected gen? eral mnnager of the Grand Trunk Rail? road of Canada, created much Interest In Baltimore financial and railroad cir? cles yesterday. The fact that an Eng? lish corporation of such conservatism as the Grand Trunk was discussing the able vice-president of the Seaboard for a position of this sort was taken by Mr. St. John's many Baltimore friends as a nice compliment. The Grand Trunk has over 4,000 rnlles In Its system, and Is an Important com? petitor of the American trunk lines from Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard. It gridirons Ontario with its tracks and reaches a number of important points in Quebec. The coast terminus of the system is at Portland, Maine. Friends of Mr. St. John In Baltimore [do not believe that lie would entertain an offer to go with the Grand Trunk, las they feel that he has made the de? velopment of the Greater Seaboard :;vs j tern bis life's work and Is a valuable silly In this respect of the president? I Mr. John Skeiton Williams. Tug Moran Llbolod.

Mr. Harry V. Stokc3 escaped being shot yesterday morning.

Yesterday Adams stationed himself In the main entrance ,n the Armory building, on City Hall avenue, know? ing that Stokes would pass that point on his way to .work. When Stokes came near Adams ran into the street, and, without warning, fired at him. Stokes turned the corner of Brewer street, but before he could enter the market building Adams had fired two more shots at him. The last two shots were llred after Stokes had entered the market. None of the five bullets came close to Stokes. But they threw the market women Into a panic, and one of them struck near a bystander. Adams wont to the station-house and gave himself up. Another pistol was found near the scene of the shooting, hut Adams claims that he only had the one pistol, which he carried with him to police headquarters.
