Telephone War at Greeneville.

There is likely to be telephone war
in Greeneville. When the local COM
pany, owned by Moser h Rankin, was
bought by the East Tennessee CONS
pany there were number Of lines, EN-.
bfacing many miles of wire, owned by
individuals or independent companies,
operated under contract by Moser &
Rankin. Now the Cumberland Tele-
phone company will fulfill these con-
tracts, but will not renew them, and
they will expire at the end Of the year.
1t is claimed that the Cumberland
Telephone charges are too high, and
the independent companies propose to
unite and establish a local telephone
service for the town and surrounding
country. A franchise has been OBJ
tanned from the corporate authorities
of Greeneville for this purpose, and at
no distant day there will be competing

No Letters in Jail.

"The sheriff, by himself or by deputy, may not deliver any letters or any com munications sealed or otherwise, to pris- oners in jail," said leading lawyer of Bir- mingham last night
 The remark was made in general con- versation, part of the endless and very widespread discussion of the almost sue cessful attempt to escape made by Miller and Duncan, the two men in the Jefferson County jail under conviction for the murder of Policemen Kirkley and Adams in Birm- ingham March 2S, 1900. It had become ad- visable for the lawyer to investigate the postal laws relating to- the delivery of mail to prisoners, and in this he had enjoyed the assistance of Postmaster J. w. Hughes and Assistant Postmaster John Towers, both of whom are deeply versed in the laws of the postoffice.
 Ut is provided by law that the sheriff may If he wish, retain all mail delivered to him for any prisoner in his custody the lawyer said. This law, as will be readily understood is not mandatory. It simply gives the sheriff the right to keep in his possession all mail for a prisoner long a that prisoner Is in his custody. If the sheriff wish he can deliver such mail; but no matter from whom it come or in what form it is absolutely within the keeping Of the sheriff, whether it be love-letter or a letter containing poison, or any other parcel, packet or bundle. -
 ''It is well enough tor the public to know these facts, more especially in view of the wilder gossip that has been induiged in concerning the attempt made by Miller and Duncan to escape from jail: gossip to the effect that the men had enjoyed secret communication with their friends on the outside, and thereby may have received as- sstance in their efforts to escape.
 Tn respect to letters from prisoners, the sheriff has the right of law to examine such letters and deal with them as he deems best before mailing them.

The Duke Didn't Wear Pants.

"The statement in an afternoon newspa- per that the Duke of Manchester wore pants during his short stay in Birming- ham today has caused considerable com ment, and, while it is misleading in that it is not true, it is of a nature to needlessly annoy both the Duke and MT. Zimmerman, who have hitherto felt nothing less than the friendliest interest in Birmingham, and good will for its well-being," said a man who has travelled
 ''The Duke and Duchess and MT. Zimmer- came to Birmingham quietly, unos- tentatiously, and in perfectly friendly spirit, and certainly they were entitled to as much respect and general consideration as are shown to some hundreds of other visitors every week. almost every day; and I am certain that the fling made at him by the afternoon newspaper will arouse the re- sentiment of the public.
 "The simple facts that by the incident of birth and the law of heritage this particu- lar visitor is a duke in the British peerage, the highest patent of nobility in the world. do not warrant newspaper, or any indi- vidual in seeking to cast a shadow upon the dukes illustrious title by declaring that he wore 'pants'@drab pants,' as if to make the reflection most obnoxious
 "All information in England is to the eff feet that the young man is of eminently deserving character. lie is poor, but are most good men in the world. He had debts which he couldn't pay, but it was clear that they were due to the lack of business tact which is common to youth; and many a good man has reached the condition in which he could not at the moment pay his debts The American newspapers have tried to vulgarize the Duke of Manchester, but they did nothing worse than increase their own disrepute for vulgarity.
 But all that has got nothing to do with this Birmingham incident, which, of course, isn't at all vulgar, but which will become historic. The Duke of Manchester, assuming the privilege of common inhabi- tants of the earth, came to Birmingham for a brief visit, friendly sojourn of ob- servation, and before he could get out of the town he was charged with the nameless offense of wearing pants! It is sad-it is almost tragical. An English duke may wear trousers, brooches, knickerbockers, even kits, but 'pants-never, never, never!

 This almanac's value may be judged by that, and by various errors discovered at nasty glance. On page POS, for example are some figures purporting to be statistics of churches and we read that the number of houses of worship of one of the great churches decreased from 14,695 in 1898 to Il ,594 in 1898, while the ministers of that church increased from Il 047 in 1898 to Il LA in 1899, and the communicants increased in the same time from S,S9417S to S,446.3O1 In other words the number of churches is represented as decreasing more than three thousand in one year, while there was good increase in ministers and communi- cants; suggesting hopeless incompetency in the source of the estimates or inexcusable proofreading. It is only fair to say the proof-reading seems to have been very poor.
 The almanac and reference book refers to the Advertisers subscribers, who are found at every postof1ce in the State All of the subscribers found at each postoface? Again the Advertiser goes to all postonices
