In 1910 Congress passed law requir-
ing all steamships carrying fifty or
more passengers to be provided with
wireless telegraph apparatus. The
Navy Department has a hundred or
more wireless stations scattered along
the coasts.
How It Operates.
The power for wireless telegraphy
is the ordinary generating mediums
and the electric waves are produced
by high frequency currents OF enor-
nous voltage. The current is convert
ed into high frequency from cur
rent of ordinary voltage. produced by
means Of an Induction coil from which
II passes into a condenser.
The waves forming the wireless let
ters are produced by gap regulated
by the operator. The electric waves
thus created are caught up by alumni
mum wires run in six, eight or twelve
| in a group. The opera,or reads the
message by listening to a specially con-
structed telephone that picks up the
waves from the aerials.

In this age nations keep wireless

TELL OF CONVENTION.
Talks at Lutheran Church on Sunday
Morning by Laymen's Movement
Delegates.

At the Lutheran Church Of the Re-
deemer on Sunday morning, there
were several interesting talks by gen.
tlemen who had attended the big lay
mems convention recently held in
Salisbury. This movement, which has
in recent years taken on large pro-
portions, is one by men in the church,
in all vocations of life, for the evange-
lization of the world. It is a move
ment which is being carried forward
on business principles. The Church
of the Redeemer is represented on the
executive committee by DR.. George B.
Cromer, chairman, and by DR.. o. B.
Mayer.
The talks at the church on Sunday
morning we're made by DR.. John B.
Settler, DR.. ". G. Houseal, Mr.. J. B.
Hunter and DR.. George B. Cromer,
and were followed by lessons by the
Rev. Mr.. Fulenwider, taken from the
recently issued missionary map,
which was exhibited. In the talks
made by the delegates to the conven-
ton, there was a gratifying note Of
pride in the great success of the con-
vention and of the movement.
It was brought out during the
course of the addresses that the
Church of the Redeemer has contrl-
buted more largely to this movement
than any other congregation in the
United Synod of the South, and that
South Carolina has contributed about
half of the amount which has been
necessary to carry it on, though there
are four other States in the synod
Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and
Tennessee.
The addresses were interesting and
instructive. The convention was un-

POST J BANQUETS.
Newberry T. P. AS Had President j..
e. Lanham as Their Guest of
Honor on Friday Night.

Having as it's guest Of honor, State
President J. G. Lanham, of Summer
ton, Post J, 7. A. P, on Friday night
rendered banquet to its members at
the NeWberry hotel, and it is needless
to say that the occasion was one of
the most enjoyable in the history OF
the local post. Mr.. Chas. P. Pelham,
proprietor Of the Newberry, and up
to a few years ago one of the States
most popular and best known travel
ing men, exerted every effort to give
these knights of the grip the best IN
stock" and right well did he succeed.
The banquet was served in five
courses.
Post J. is the baby post OF South
Carolina, and while it is probably the
smallest. State President Lanham says
that lit makes up in quality what II
lacks in quantity" This was Mr.. Ian
hams first appointment since he was
elected State president.
At the conclusion of the feast, and
while the members were enjoying
their cigars, Mr.. E. NJ. Evans, local
president, called upon President Lam
ham for a, talk, to which he responded
in a. most interesting half hours
speech. His remarks were chiefly in
reference to the mileage question,
which has been the bone of contention
for several years. He was gratlhed
that the present legislature passed
the mileage bill for which the State
organization has been contending. He
hoped that no member of the T. P. A.
would be 'fool enough to purchase the
! penny scrip, which is contemplated
by the railroads. ''They are trying to
hand us a. lemon,'' said the State
president. Mr.. Lanham stated that
the travelling men are not fighting the
railroads, but on the other hand they
are the Ambassadors to the rail-
roads," He was glad that the COVER
nor had allowed the bill to pass, and
stated that Governor Blease's remarks
TO the effect that "dat two-cent rate
would be much more acceptable" were
very timely.
Mr.. Lanham made many friends in
Newberry during his short stay here,
and it is the hope Of the local post
that he will come often. He left Friday
morning for Greenwood, where he will
pay his official visit to the post in that
city.

PROF. TATE TO VISIT NEWBERRY.
Supervisor of Rural Schools Will Give
Three Days to NeWberry County
and Attend Association.

The County Teachers association,
which meets regularly On the second
Saturday in each month, and which
had decided to hold the next regular
meeting at Prosperity, will be post
poned until the last Saturday in
March, the Goth. This postponement
has been made by the officers of the
association, at the suggestion of the
county superintendent OF education,
in order that Prof W. K. Tate, super
visor of the elementary rural schools,
may be present at the meeting.
Mr.. Tate is to give three days to
Newberry county, beginning on Wed
nesday, March 2I, and these will be
devoted to visiting the rural schools.
In his letter to the county superin-
tendent he says:
"I have entered On my calendar the
remainder of the week beginning
Wednesday, March 81, for a visit to
Newberry county. We can visit
schools together for three days and on
Saturday, if you wish, you can call
meeting Of teachers or trustees, or
both for Newherry. I shall have a
lantern and pictures with me to make
suggestions to fit the case described
by Mr.. Hand"
The county superintendent of edu-
cation says, in speaking of this change
in the meeting and Prof. Tate's visit:
81 am anxious to have Mr.. Tate visit
as many of the rural schools as pos
sible in the different sections of the
county. Prof. Tate is prepared to give
illustrated lectures on his visits, and
will also take photographs of the
schools visited, and if the weather
conditions are favorable, I hope to
arrange so that four ar five may be
visited each day. A program and
itinerary will be announced in ample
time, and 1 hope that at each school
we may have present patrons, as well
as trustees, and I am sure they will
enjoy Prof. Tate's visit. We will close
with the meeting at Prosperity, and
want as many trustees as possible
present. The meeting will be held at
1890 o'clock, in the Prosperity high
school building, and Prof. Tate's lee
ture will well be worth your time and
attention.
"Mr. Tate is full OF energy, and is
enthusiastically interested, and very
much in earnest in his work for the
betterment of the rural schools; so
much so that he has turned down
several offers Of Increased pay Wnlcn
have come to him since he has been IN
this work.
Just what itinerary will be adopt
ed these three days in this county
will be. announced through the pa
ners in time so that everybody in the
community may meet him at the,
school visited and lose but little time
We will endeavor to adhere strictly to
the schedule agreed upon"
