Bat Cave to Talk to
New York City
“This is Bat Cave talking. Bat Cave—yes, Bat Cave, Near
Hendersonville and Chimney Rock, you know. Yes. I want New York City, and
please hurry, Central, I must talk to my party before…..”
That’s what it’s going to be soon, according to Dr. L.B.
Morse, who has been talking to Morgan B. Spier, general manager of the Southern
Bell. And the talking wasn’t done over long distance, either. It was at
Charlotte, the other day, and Mr. Spier said there was no reason why, if the
people really wanted a telephone line to Chimney Rock, there was no reason why
there shouldn’t be one, and at once.
Mr. Spier will make such a recommendation in his September
report, and it is believed it will be but a short time before the line is
built. For many years there has been an agitation for such a line.
Mr. Spier gave three reasons why the copper wire connecting
the Heart of the Blue Ridge with the outside world should be strung.
They were:
The war is over.
The lower price of copper.
The need of the service.
The return of the wires to private ownership.
