Sec. 5.
Any mortgage or deed of trust which shall hereafter be executed by
any telephone company upon its real and personal property in the manner
provided for the execution of mortgages upon real estate shall be and
constitute a valid lien against the rights and interests of any third
persons upon all and every part of the property of said company which is
described in said mortgage and which is situated in any county in this
state where said deed of trust or mortgage shall be recorded in the manner
provided for the recording of mortgages upon real estate; and all mortgages
or deeds of trust which have heretofore been executed and recorded in the
manner provided by law for the execution and recording of mortgages upon
real estate, shall be and constitute valid liens as against the rights and
interests of third parties which shall be acquired subsequently to the
recording in any county where any property of said corporation may be
situate of confirmatory conveyance or assurance: Provided, if said original
mortgage or deed of trust shall not have been recorded in any county where
any property of said company shall be situated, then the recording of the
original instrument in such county shall make said deed of trust or
mortgage a valid lien as against the rights and interests of third parties
acquired subsequently to such recording of said instrument.
