EXTENDING THE TELEPHONE

Sumter Should Have Connection
With the Towns Of the Pee

The Secretary of State on Monday Issued q
commission TO telephone con- parv, The
formation of which means the connection CT
the towns Of the Pee Des section With tele-
phones The company is to be known SO The

McSween, Timmonsville; Bright Williamson,
Darlington; W r. Barringer. Florence B..
L. Moore, Dillon aud G. A. Woods, Marion.
The company proposes to connect the tele-
phone systems in the various towns forming
general inter city service.
Mr. Moore, who is the prime mover in tbe
aterprise has teen working 10 establish tele-
bhoue connection between the towns in the
eastern section of the State for more than
year and has already met with gratifying
success in ths Pee Dee section. he has built
lines that connect Marion, Dillon, Latta,
Clio, Mccall, Bennettsville, Cberaw aud
many other small places, rot to mention a
network of lines to cross road stores and
private residences in the country lying be-
tween the towns mentioned 1t ls under
stood to be the purpose of the new company
to extend the lines to Darlington, Harssville
Society Hill, Florence Timmonsville and other
points, 10 the cen,ral portion Of the state,
and evidently to connection with the Bell
Conpany's long distance line. a short tins
ago Sr Moore visited Charlotte and held
conferences With representatives of the Bell
Company, but whether or not he succeeded
in forming an alliance with the Bell Com
pany has not been announced. Even though
no connection is established with the Bell
system the sys,em already established by Mr..
Moore is great thing for the Eastern section
of the State, aud it is to be hoped that the
company be has organized will extend line
to make connection with the system in this
