IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The United States Wireless Tele-
graph Company Begins Work Up
on the Great Inland Southern EA-
tension Of It's Commercial Dispatch
Svstan-Instrumen Ordered.
The January number Of The Aero
gram, a magazine devoted to the
wireless telegraph and telephone bus
mess, will contain an interesting ar
ticle on the proposed extension OF
,be business Of the United Wireless
Telegraph Company, and from ad-
vance proofs 1t Is learend with pleas
ure an interest that Columbia IS
on the list Of new Offices to be es-
tahlisbed. The company IS making
preparations to form complete sys-
tom for oversee and overland bus
mess and expects in the course OF
time to be in active competition with
the wire lines IN business, social ana
official transactions OF messages.
The following from the article mea-
tined will be Of general interest:
The eastern operating department.
of the United States Wireless Iese-
graph Company announces the p!ae.
ing Of an order with the company .
manufacturing department, for 2oo
comnlete sets Of wireless lnstru-
ments, all OF which are scon 70 be
Installed at stations to be establish
cd IN cities east OF the MISSISSIPPI
river
This is the largest order for wire
less apparatus and to manufacture
erect and put the, stations into op-
Grafton, will require an expenditure
exceeding s600,o00. The majority
OF the stations will be Of one or two
k. ". capacity, with a range nom
100 to 500 miles, but some, which
are intended for long distance serY-
ice. vii, be of from 5 to 20 &. v. to
transmit wireless messages, under
all conditions Of weather, for range
of from so to 1000 miles overland
and from 1000 to 5000 miles over
the water.
The United Wireless Telegraph
conpany's manufacturing depart
ment embracing three complete rae
tories, two Of which are located N
Jersey City, N. j., and the other IN
Seattle, Wash, have combined
capacity Of over si.O0o,oOo worth
Of wireless apparatus per year. Inc
larger part Of the entire output u
these factories has heretofore been
needed in filing orders from various
governments and for the United
Conpany's marine department. II
is probable, however, that with an
extension Of this factory equipment
which will be made il the near Tu-
+rre, the $50 sets will be completed
and the new stations be ready for
operation in 1903.
The company promises to erecs
stations not only in the States east
Of the Mississippi river, but also III
the Western States from the Paclnc
coast eastward, until they complete
an ntercommunicatiEg wireless sys'
tenn covering all important CONNER
cial mining and manufacturing cen
ters throughout the entire United
States. Inasmuch as nearly all OF
such cities are connected with many
smaller places by local telephone sys-
tens, it is expected that the United
wireIsss Telegraph Company WIZ be
in position, by the end OF 1soS'
to receive and deliver messages a.
several thousand points where the
wire companies at prese-t maintain
Offices.
The operating department Of the
company IS now organizing its forces
to begin the selection Of locations
for these new stations. Contracts
and leases will be entered into ana
the advanced work completed, ready
FOR the installation Of the apparatus
as rapidly as suitable sites can b"
secured and satisfactory arrange
nents made.
Among the stations proposed are
the following:
North Ca-olina-Elizabeth City.
Cape Hatteras, Beaufort. Newoern.
Raleigh, Wilmington, Greensboro.
Charlotte, Asheville, Henderson and
Winston-Salem.
South Carolina-Charleston, Sum
ter, Columbia, Spsrtanburg, Green
Vile, Anderson and Abbeville.
