The point is made by Sumter Cloth
ing Co. in their advertisement in an
other column, that Fall Suit pur-
chased now may defer the need of an
overcoat for full two months yet.
This firm sells the clothing made by
Schloss Bros. & Co., of Baltimore, the
largest clothing house in the world.
and the Columbia Sack, shown in to-
days advertisement, is especially de-
signed to meet the discriminative taste
of smart dressers who want to wear
the very latest cuts.
We direct attention to the annual

past success, they have surpassed all
previous efforts this season to make

and draftsman's quarters will also be
located in this building.
In addition to the present line of
telephone exchange instruments and
switchboards several new types will
soon be put on the market. The prin-
cipal need of the new building. how

TELEPHONE LITIGATION.
President Blow, Of the Telephone Mfg
Co., Asks for Appointment of Receiver.

Mr.. Peter Blow, of Knoxville. Tenn,
President of the Telephone Manufac-
turing Company, of this city, about
two weeks ago Instituted proceedings
against the company praying for the
appointment of a receiver on the
ground that the corporation is insolv-
ent, and setting up debt due to him
for salary alleged by him to be sixteen
hundred dollars. He further claims
that there are dissensions amongst the
stockholders and directors in the Com
pany and on these grounds prays the
appointment of Receiver. A Rule to
Show Cause was issued on the Both Of
September. Mr.. G. T. Mason, who is
a large stockholder, filed Petition to
be allowed to intervene in the suit
and praying that the proceedings be
amended by making Hiram j. Grover
and himself parties to the suit as
stockholders, and an Order was taken
for hearing on that Petition on Fri
day before Judge R. o. Pucdy. Lyles
& McMahan, Of Columbia, and Hayns-
worth & Haynsworth, of this city, rep
resent Mr.. Blow and his associates,
while Lee & Noise are the attorneys
for Mr.. Mason.
at the hearing on Friday Mr..
Blows attorneys stated that they
had written their client for state
ment of facts, as they had not suffi-
cient facts to answer the petition.
They supposed Nj. Blow did know
the facts, and as soon as they had a
hearing from him they would be in a
position to file an answer to the petit
tion of Mr.. Mason. Judge Purdy ap-
pointed October 18th for the hearing,
and the matter will be heard on that
date at chambers in this city.

are not washable, but the waist made

The fine and transparent linen bati5teS

white mercerized goods. OF these there
is no end
Butchers linen makes stylish waists,
and they have the merit Of being so

the Drettler they are. Tucks, flaps with

the thick Irish linens and the heavy
linen crashes, are hand embroidered,
sometimes in colors. The thinner quail
tiles have fine lace inset and applied in
many other fancies.
A very dainty conceit is shown in the
illustration where the inset lace is laid
along the edge of the tucked portion
and around the collar. The pattern is
made up of alternate pieces, one being
round and the next square. They are
cut apart, and the squares are set down
the front as diamonds, with a little
narrow. lace to match around them.
The round ones are treated the same
way, forming a dainty and effective
trimming.
The sleeves are tucked down a triie
below the elbow and then left to form
a full sleeve to gather into the band.
Others are made with the lace inset
along the front and with tucks spread
out wider on the shoulders. The pres
ent fashion is for the shoulders to be
broad, and tile shape of everything is
made So The wider the sleeves are at
the wrists the better. There is not SO
pronounced a dip as there was, and,
take them all in all, the shirt waists
are worthy recognized place in fash

One very pretty style has cape col
lar, wide or narrow, as the wearer may
fancy, generally made SO that it can
be left off at will. It somehow gives
the impression of a tea jacket or 4
dressing sack, but is desirable, all the
same. The fronts of the waists can be
made as elaborate as one desires, but
lace and tucking and embroidery are
part and parcel of the whole. Sailor
collars made of fine batiste and insects
and bordered with lace are much liked.
They can be worn with anything, even
fine silk waists.

to the greater question Of the parti
ton of southeastern Europe, which
would follow the overthrow of Otto
man rule. More than likely some sort
of an understanding has already been
reached by the great powers with re-
gard to this dividing up of the sultan's
dominions.
1t is hardly probable that the Mace
domains would at present be given
that independence for which they so
eagerly yearn. In the minds of Euro
pean statesmen the population Of
Macedonia, made up as it is of many
races and diverse religions-Bulga-
rians, Greeks and Turks-is not pre-
pared for self government. Thaumost
feasible scheme seems to be the gov
erning of Macedonia by representa-
tive of the great powers under plan
like that which has worked with ap-
parent satisfaction in Crete, where by
reason of conditions similar to those
in Macedonia the sultan was forced by
the powers TO grant joint protectorate
over the island, with a Greek prince as
its governor.
