WIRE MONOPOLY.
Merger of Bell, Western Union and
Postal Is RumOred.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE report
that the controlling interest in the
Western Union Telegraph company
obtained by the American Telephone
and Telegraph company would lead
to a closer community of interest be-
tween those companies and the Postal
telegraph company and probably an
ultimate merger of the three COM
panies, was given more color today
when officials of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph frankly said
that the Postal Telegraph company
was the largest single stakeholder in
their company.

NOVEMBER WEATHER
Hicks Makes Regular Monthly Offer
ing Relative to Atmospheric
Disturbances

Hicks makes the following weather
predictions for November; s..
On the 1st and End falling barome-
tor will pass eastwardly over the coun-
try, attended by cloudiness and result
ing in rain in many localities. Stiff,
northwesterly winds and sharp change
to colder will come in promptly on
the heels of these disturbances.
A regular storm period covers the
4th to the 9th, being central on the
9Th. This period is near the center
of the Venus period and promises to
bring very active storm conditions.
If the barometer falls to low readings
from about the 9Th. to the 9th. look
for energetic storms of rain and wind,
with dangerous gales over the lake
regions. These disturbances will be
attended by elec trical storms to the
southwark, while in the northwest
sleet and snow will be quite probable.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 18th, 18th and 14th. The
conjunction rs NJ of the Moon with
Earth on the 18th naturally a. m. in
dicates that high temperature for the
season, with low barometer and gene
raj storms are probable on and fol-
lowing that date change to very much
cooler, with high barometer and high
northwesterly gales will bring up the
west and the northwest fianks of
storms, say about the 18th to 18th.
Seismic reports will be timely within
three days of noon on the 18th.
From Tuesday the 10Th, to Sunday
the Goth, is a time of vast storm pro-
liabilities, especially on the oceans
and the great lakes. This is period
in which Boreas will make a stubborn
fight for domination in most parts of
the northern hemisphere. Early bliz-
yards of snow and sleet need not sur
prise any reader of these forecasts in
north and northwest before the final
windup of this storm period. These
storms will be followed closely by a
rushing high barometer out of the
northwest, causing high gales and un-
seasonable cold to push rapidly far on
to the south and east.
Falling barometer and brisk autum-
nal storms of rain and wind, turning
to sleet and snow, will be passing
eastward across the country during
the last three days of November.

to consume cotton by fire if it Is
packed with this density and is alb
solutely free from air, and in ad-
dition the Nicely bale is thoroughly
and neatly covered with burlaD in
stead of the fre-inviting jute, and
is so packed that the covering holds
good until it reaches the spinner
wherever he may be, thus making 1t
a package that in every way pleases
the spinner of the East and makes 1t
more. valuable to him.
This mode Of packing is not new
except in America. The East Indian
and Egyptian cotton shippers, who
annually land many bales in England
and other European markets have
long since been far ahead Of Ameri-
cans in their system Of baling, and
IS a consequence they have not been
subjected to the tare charges which
every American shipper has suffered
from. These tare charges amount to
SIS, 100000 annually, and these
millions the South has lost by In
ferior and improper baling. All Of
this trouble, is to be overcome by
the Neely COMPRISING system. The
thing can be easily figured out. fol
it is no secret that American cotton
landed in foreign ports under the Ole
system Of baling is subjected to &
discount Of thirty pounds tare OF
each bale.

LIQUOR QUESTION
SENATOR LIDE WANTS PEOPLE
TO SETTLE IT
In Special Election to be hold

An important bill has been intro
duced by Senator Lide Of Orange
burg relative to the ordering Of a
general vote throughout the State to
be taken upon the question Of wheth-
er the State shall go prohibition or
not.
This referendum proposition is
said to meet with the favor of many
members of the house and Of the
senate. II has even been stated that
some of the prohibitionists are in
favor of this measure.
The bill provides that an "elec-
ton shall be held to determine the
States policy regarding the sale Of
alcoholic liquors on August "a,
1909" The object is to find out just
how the people stand upon this cues
ton.
AS is generally provided in such
votes there will be slips Of paper pro-
vide3 with two questions as follows:
l. Are you in favor of local op-
ton between county prohibition and
county dispensary system?
2. Are you IN favor of extend
ing local option between system ol
prohibition or license or county
dispensary system?
These questions vii! practically
settle the attitude Of hhe people o!
South Carolina as to the liquor cues
ton. The managers for election alc
the other necessary provisions are
made in the bill for the election.
