They Will Know When to Expect
Rain Now.

The establishment of a rural mail
service in Sumter means more to peo-
pie living in the country than the mere
delivery of mail matter, Postmaster
Smith, who is the local weather doc
tor, has arranged to get his telegraph
ic reports earlier in the day from the
Weather Bureau, and these will be
sent out each morning all over the
county by the mail carriers. Thus
the farmers can keep posted upon the
weather for two days in advance.

PEOPLE LOOKING
FOR AN OUTBREAK

Philadelphia, Sept. 21.-Somewhat
vague reports are coming in of prepar
ations on the part of the sheriffs and
coal companies for IA possible clash
with the reckless element among the
strikers. Nearly everybody believes
that trouble must come. yet there has
been no sign of an outbreak and the
men appear to be well handled by their
leaders.
Coal scarcity is more keenly felt to-
day, and, although the Reading com
pany is mining and shipping its usual
quota of anthracite. dealers are find
ing it nard to get as much as they need.
The tonnage of the other great coal
carrying companies is gradully dimin-
ishing, however. and in the natural or
der of things. unless the strike is set
tied, will soon cease altogether from
some districts
The temper OF the mine owners on
the question of arbitration, as indicat-
ed in interviews and statements given
out to-day, is strong against the prop
osition. Nevertheless Father Phillips
came here from the Hazclton region to-
night and is with Archbishop Ryan in
consultation on the subject near and
dear to his heart-the quick settlement
of the strike by arbitration, or any 9TH
L ~
men in Uazelton have also taken up the
matter and will endeavor to bring the
opposing elements together amicably.
The Philadelphia " Reading Coal and
Iron Company received dispatches
from the Schuyltiil to-day to the effect
that the situation at their mines is un-
changed to-day; thirty-four collieries
are working and five are idle.
President Stoarns of the Coke Bros.
& Co. collieries in the Hazelton dis
trict had a telephone talk with John
Markle, managing partner of G. b.
Mnrllle * Co. at Hazelton. Mr.. Stearns
says Mr. Markle stated to him that
more men are at work to-day at the
Marltle mines than at any time since
the strike began.
Important information comes from
the Lackawana region to the effect
that the supcrintendcnts of some of
the large mines are contemplating
making an effort to start one or more
mines under police protection, if nee
essary, and thus break the tie-up,
which is complete in THAT district.

DEWEY LAUGHS
ABOUT HOBSON

New York. Sept. c1.-Admiral Dew
ey talked to-day of the Hobson inter
view, saying:
Il hardly thing the young man
meant to say anything unkind, and
perhaps he did not say what is said
there. The three vessels he referred
to are the Isla de Cuba. Isla de Luzon
and Don Juan de Austria They were
the least three injured of the ten or
twelve ships sunk at Manila. Naval
Constructor Capps. a very able man,
was with me, and he and divers and
experts from Hong Kong made an ex-
animation OF all the Spanish ships and
decided that these three were worth
saving. three out of Il dozen. They
were raised and temporary repairs made
at Cavite.
''As matter of fact, never claimed
that we sunk the ships. reported that
we destoryed them. did see with my
own eyes an eight-lnch shell strike the
stern of the Reina Maria Christina, Ad-
miral Montejo's flagship, and that de-
stroyed her
THE statement that the vessels were
not much injured below the water line
was probably true. Everyone knows
that it is impossible for shells to do
much execution below the water line,
of anything but torpedocs to do much
damage there. A few inches of water
is great protection. Armored ships
are not armored much below the water
line, the water being protection enough
from a shell.
Il hardly think it worthy our while
to pay much attention to this. You
know it is human nature to depreciate
what others have done, and Mr. Hob
son may not have been quoted correct
ly, or in full"

Combines of Telegraph and TeIephonell
New Yor. Seut. 21.-The Electrical
Review says:
There have beea numerous rumors
of late concerning tie probable ANAL
gamation of all the telephone and tele-

The Electrical Review was recently in
formed that rapid progress was being
made in this direction by the financial
interests in the leading companies.
These are the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company (which now in
cludes the American Bell Telephone
Company. the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company.
1T is predicted by those in position
to know that these interests will be
consolidated into one big company, to
be known as the National Telephone
and Telegraph Company, and that such
consolidation will be consummated be-
fore the end of the present year"
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-09-25

and the most important matter now to
be arranged is the terminal facilities
in this city. 1t is believed the city
officials will be liberal in the matter
of franchises. For the purpose of get
ting full expression of opinion re-
lating to franchises, the mayor called
mass meeting tonight, which was
characterized by harmony and enthus-
iasm throughout. j. L. Dooley presided
and Spencer Clawson was made sec
retary. T. b. Gibbons, representing

ented the matter for the company and
stated what the company desired in
the way of franchises and depot
grounds.
