TELEPHONE MPBOVEMENTS AND RATES
For the past 24 years our company has not changed its tele
phone rates. Prices of everything else have advanced again and
again during these years. Eggs can no longer be had at ten cents
nor chickens at fifteen. The materials which we use in the main
tenance of our system and in the construction of new lines have
increased three times since our present rates were established.
Labor, also, has taken long and rapid strides toward high prices
until at this time we are paying double the old prices.
It has been necessary to advance our telephone rates to off
set these greatly increased expenses. And, too, the company has
made plans to install, at great expense, the automatic telephone
system.
The installation has already been started and it will be push
ed to completion in the shortest psssible time. Within a year it
is expected that this system will be in operation in High Point
one of the first cities in the south to adopt the new system.

DAHLS F.1UTE AS
TO ADMIRAL SIMS
MANY CRITICS ARE READY TO
' .
BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY
HEAR ON THE CABINET.
rOPERS HAVE NOT RECOVERED
Senate Committee on Naval Affairs to
Broaden Investigation to Sift to
Bottom the Sims Charges.
Washington. The Sims-Daniels out.
oreak has aroused Washington's offi
cial and social circles.
The first shot of Admiral Sims went
through and hit the mark, but the
second one seems to be flaring back- on
him.
Secretary Daniels takes the posi
tion that it is improper for him to say
anything before he goes before the
senate committee. He will let Ad
miral Sims finish and then he will
testify. A great many critics of the
Wilson administration are ready to be
lieve anything about members of his
cabinet, and a southern member is
preferred for attack.
The drinking public are inclined to
side with the secretary in the affair.
It appeared that the senate com
mittee on naval affairs will broaden
its investigation of the' navy depart
ment in order to sift to the bottom the
charge of Admiral Sims that he did not
receive, proper support from the de
partment during the war.
