BELL OPERATES WITHOUT FRANCHISE
The Telephone Situation in Virginia City
is Interesting.

Sumter is not the only place in
which the Southern Bell Telephone
finds that it cannot do exactly as it
pleases as has been stated more than
once before. The latest set back the
Bell has received in its campaign to
acquire control of the Southern field
occurred in Manchester, Va, Rich
mond's prosperous suburb.
The Richmo d Times, Of Goth has
the,following report on the telephone
situation from its Manchester bureau :
Acting under instructions given him
last night by the Ordinance Com
mittee, City Attorney William I. Clop-
ton will, draw an ordinance covering
all telephone companies now operating
in the city, or which may hereafter
operate here, expressly stating that no
such company shall charge telephone
patrons of Manchester rates in excess
OF those at the time charged Rich
monders.
The status of the Southern Bell Tel
ephone Company, now doing business
here without a franchise, was discuss
ed By the committee. A A1reso1ution OF
Mr.. C. Z. Petit, offered in the City
Assembly and confirmed by the Board
of Aldermen, instructed the Ordinance
Committee to inquire into the status
of the Southern Bell Company's right
to operate here and take such action
as was necessary.
Several months ago Mr.. Chipley for
the Bell Company made application to
the old Council for a franchise. This
petition was referred to joint com
1nittee. This committee demanded
of Mr.. Chipley that he accord Man
chester the same rates charged IN Rich
mond, and specify this in the franchise.
After some time the committee recelF-
ed notice that the company wished to
Withdraw the application.
At the next meeting representatives
of both companies will be present by
invitation.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

@ Columbia, s,ept.2 %. The week end
ing Monday. September p, was decid-
EedIy cooler than usual, with mean
temperature of IS 6degrees, a maximum
of S5 degrees at Greenwood on the
18th, and minimum of A degrees
at Greenyille on the 18TH. There was
general deficiency in sunshine, with
more cloudiness over the eastern than
over the western half Of the State.
The winds were light easterly to north
erly..
Over a large portion of the State,
and the eastern half generally, there
was little or no rain during the week,
while inplaces over the western hall
fairly heavy showers occurred on the
18th and 10Th. The rains were gentle
and did not damage open cotton to any
great extent. In the northeastern coun-
ties there is need of rain for fall crops
and to pat the ground into condition
for fall ( lowing.
The weather was favorable, on the
whole, for harvesting corn, cotton and
rice and for farm work in general.
Reports on cotton are very full this
week, and cover every section OF the
State, and they confirm previous esti-
mates of comparatively short crop. 1t
appears that the promising condition
near the close Of June was irrepara-
bly, Injured by the hot and dry wealth
ser from June 18th TO July 10th, which
subsequently caused the plants to she'd,
rust and blight and to stop growing,
and while some fields in favorable
localities put on new growth late IN
August that has since bloomed and
fruited, the majority Of plants did not
fruit we'll during August, and most OF
them apparently died. Cotton is from
two thirds to four-ffths open, and
much of it has been picked; indeed,
some fields have already been abandon
ed. but in a number Of counties. pick
ers are scarce and there a smaller per-
centage Of the crop has been gathered.
The yields are estimated below last
wears by majority of the correspon-
dents, although in five counties the
yield is estimated equal to or greater
than last years. Frost deferred until
late in November will increase the
crop materially in places. Boil worms
have appeared on late, unopened bolls
in Barnwen County. Sea-island cotton
is better than for a number of years,
and bears fair top crop; picking we'll
underway.
Corn IS being housed. Minor crops
are doing well. Truck is in fine
growing condition.

If the farmers of South Carolina
raised hogs and cattle in sufficient
numbers to provide their own meat and
some for sale they would be rejoicing
oyer the high prices of meat and not
beneaning the poor farmers hard fate
and abusing the meat trust. There is
no Immediate prospect of lower prices
in the meat market and the wise farm
er. who has pasture land or can con-
vert part Of his farm into good pas
tture By planting rye or other grains
and grasses for winter grazing and
Bermuda for summer pasture, will
turn his attention more toward stock
raising than he hasin the past.
Politics make strange enemies as
weH as strange bed fellows. Who
wonId have imagined, a few years ago,
that IN this year of grace 1902, Capt.
John g. Capers would be engaged in a
political controversy with Edmund
Deas over the leadership Of that mall
sodorous organization Of political graft
ers and place hunters known as the
Republican partyof South Carolina2 It
IS surprising and unedifying spec
taele,

Railroad Time Tables.

The genius to arrange a railroad time
card, or time table, so that 1t may be
readily, easily and accurately under
stood by the occasional traveller is not
yet born. Perhaps he will have to be
made. But no matter how much the
patrons of a road may be mystiied
the management takes particular pains
to supply a special card "for the gov
eminent and information Of employees
only" This table Is so simple that a
child can understand It. The second
page usually contains a table showing
the rate OF speed required per mile for
a train to travel a given number of
miles In an hour. II starts at fifteen
miles an hour, which is four minutes
TO the mile. and goes as high as 100
miles an hour, Or q mile in thirty-six
seconds, and shows 200 subdivisions.
This card gives locations Of regular
water stations, yard limits, situations
of standard clocks, maximum speed of
freight trains between different towns,
what days are holidays, speeds at
which trains may cross bridges ut
various hours and a list of all stations
and trains. 1t is likely, of course, that
were similar cards furnished to the
travelling public there would be no
abatement of fool questions, Besides,
It is not to the interest Of a railroad
company to take the public too entire
ly into its conldence.-New York Press.

A Pleasant Gathering.

At the home of Mr., and Mrs, John
B. Armistead, 5 miles north Of Mexico
on Sept. I4th, was a gathering OF
"kinfolks.r Those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Armour B. Smith and
three sons, Emmett, j. w. and Paul
H., Mrs. Matte Crockett and two
daughters, Misses Eugenia and
Frances; Mrs. Grace Fletcher and two
little daughters, Jessie and Flossle;
Frank Armistead and son, Eli, Mr..
VIM. Jones, Miss Mamie Myers, Miss
Sappho Armistead, Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith and family, we're the guest Of
honor, and are on the eve of their
departure for their home in California.
AS for the dinner it was such a
dinner as the old homestead was noted
for, when grandpa and grandma used
to live there. 1t was a merry and
happy crowd, although, there was a
tinge of sadness mingled with the
meeting, as Mrs. Armistead is Mrs.
Smiths only aunt, and they r both
to part with each other, as their
paths will be so widely separated. We
can but hope that they may meet
again here on earth, and If not on
earth, in the Land where there are no
partings or good byes ever said.
ONE OF THE FAMILY.

Washington's birthday was made a
legal holiday by vote of the Massachu-
sets legislature April 10, 1856; there
fore Feb. %, 1857, was first a legal
holiday. For many years previous
Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis held a recep-
ton at her home on Feb. %, to which
all the people of the city Of Boston
were invited. Her house was open to
the public On that day, and before and
after the day became a legal holiday
all the military companies OF Boston
would parade past her house on the
22d. Probably the first occasion Of
Washington's birthday being recog-
nized was Feb. -, 1881. That was by
the French troops at Newport, R. I. As
the fifth fell on Sunday, the celebra-
ton was held on the 18th. This was
according to the old style of reckoning.
