THE EVENT OF SALEM'S SEA? SON. Cupid Wings a Happy Shaft. On this bright, spring-like and starry night of December the 20th, 1894, the heauty and chivalry of upper, middle and lower Salem, assembled in massed and bright array, at historic old Midway Church to witness the i marriage ceremony of the lovely and accom? plished Miss Bessie McFadden, and the talent ed and popular Mr. Henry J. Wheeler. At 7 o'clock p. m., the bridal party enter? ed the church which was decorated with elaborate ?oral designs, takia g well-timed steps to the beautiful music rendered by Mrs. John E. Cousar. With a graceful execution of in? tricate march and counter-march, the follow icg couples, in full evening dress and hand? some toilettes, arranged themselves on right and left of the altar: Mr. A. T. Cooper and Miss Eddie Wheeler, Mr. S. E. McFadden and Miss Cooper Du Rant, Mr. Henry Smith and Miss Mabel Mc? Fadden, Dr. T. M. McCutchen and Miss Heleu McLaurio, Mr. 6. W. McBride and Miss Rosa Burg?ss, Mr. W. B. Dickson and Miss Olivia McFadden. The groom attended by Mr . W. R. Burgess, an? the bride, led by Miss Janie Wheeler, took their places gracefully at the altar, be? neath an exquisite evergreen arch. In response to a sacred and solemn service by the Rev. James McDowell, the holy marriage vows were taken, and to the strains of joyous and sweet music the happy wedded pair and their graceful attendants went out to the car? riage, where the bride and groom were sh JW- j ered with the congratulations of their m?ny friends. Toe party then hastened to the residence of ? the bride's mother, Mrs. Thos. Shannon, and ' 'jere the congratulations of the attendants j were formally yet merrily given. The hand- | some presents were displayed and praised; ! gold, silver, cut-glass, china, majolica, clocks. ; ?amps, pictures, etc., presented an array that i defies listing. The ejiculations of exquisite, lovely, beautiful-were cut short by the ? announcement of the wedding supper-a ban? quet. The tables bent with the profusion and I abundance of good cheer. Meats for lb* , strong, fruits and sweets for the fair, and \ "coffees for t:?e old." Full justice being done ' to toe bounteous repast, the parlors were : once more thronged, and for three happy j hours wit and humor sparkled, and jest aud rapartee enlivened the festal occasion. But . happy hours fly with sweet wings, and all too : soon cane tbe departure of the bride and groctn for their wedding tour. At eleven '? o'clock they started for the Land of Flowers, ! via Charleston; thence by sea, on the com- i modioas ?nd elegantly appointed Ciyde steamer-''Seminole," for Jacksonville. The rest is soon told. The ring-cake was j cut with many a joke and guess as to whom the fates would give the pledge for the nest happy wedding. The lucky man was Salem's young doctor, T. M. McCutchen. That mat- j ter being settled to the dissatisfactiou of some, and the amasement of all; the bride's cake was cut and the dream tickets prepared. Good byes were said, and many were "the eyes that looked love to eyes that spoke again"-?ll hied them to their homes and dreamed of riags and orange blossoms. PRIXCB.

THE SUMTER TELEPHONE EXCHANGE. Its Difficulties, Growth and Pres? ent Success. For all around pluck, enterprise and per- | sisteccy the Sumter Telephone Exchange j takes the cake. Very few, if any enterprises, ever have undergone as many drawbacks and came out as victorious as has this Ex? change. In January 1891 it was decided to establish : a^Teiepr >ne Exchange in Sumter. A com-; nan v was organized with a capital stock of! ?00. The Bell Patents were then in force and they could not put in an electric system with oct infringing. So the Shader Molecular Telephone, a mechanical instrument, which was highly recommended, wa3 used. The Ex? change began business with the Central Of *sce ia the old Independent Fire Engine Hall, j on June 15th, 1891, and after a faithful trial yf acreut one year, the mechanical telephone' did not eive satisfaction as an exchange sys- i tem. The Exchange was then closed and a j few private lines successfully operated until j the fall of 1892, when arrangements were made with Mason Bros., to transform the meclKaicaf telephone into electrical phones, looking forward to the expiration of the Bell Patents in the Spring of 1893, when telephones of the Bell Patent could be made without in? fringement. It waslfea uphill business to transform the mechanical phones as they could get no Bell Phones as a pattern. Mason Bros., however, with their characteristic inventive ingeouity and persistent efforts, kept experimenting and testing for about one year and succeeded. They would make models and the Snmter I Telephone Company would put them up and j rest them and whatever feature proved satis- ' factory they would adopt and those unsaus-, ::ic*orv would be discarded and new cries made and tested, uutil the present Mason j ; hone was the result, which h?s been tested ; alongside the original Bell telephone, and i found equal to the Bell and in many . ins?aoces^it has replaced the orignj.i Bell . ? bone. Finally oo the first cf October, ld93. the exchange was again started in the se c.. ni storv ot" the Winn building, being the first ; electrical t?l?phone exchange in the United States ^operate successfully, which was due ] :o the perfected Masoo Telephone. Thtsbad he etfrc: of bringing down up;,a the Sumter Company the special enmity of . a?merican Bell Telephone Company, who repeatedly sent experts here to Dry into the w?? kin2? and make of the perfected instru? ments, ?id attempts were made to intimidate .hs Sumter Company and bluff the Sumter Exchange i r: * o cios;ng. This attempt was . due to the fact th ' the Bell Telephone claim- j -d that their parents bad not expired inas? much as they bad only fi>d a statement of, .he make of their instruments and a model, ia the pa'eut othee, and hud never made rebu? jar ar>fii^.tion for a paten:, boping tn*t wbiu the time allowed by 'aw expired they couid rr-ke application and renew their I oatent for seventeen years more. The mailer was taken ro the I'. S. Court, however, ?tad ! Dead tog a decision the Sumter Cxchange went ahead, and it was not until a few weeks ?.<-o that the courts decided 'hat the Bril i oatents had expired. When the Exchange was started in 1893 there were 20 lines and subscribers, and the subscribers have now jacr?ased to 57. On Nov. 28th of thi3 year it was found necessary to increase the capital 5IocX from $2,000 to $5,000 Heretofore their hours of service have bteu vom 7 a. m. to 0 or 10 p. m , but arrange? ments are being made for an all night service. Thrall night service will necessitate con? siderable additional expense as an additional Une of wire will have to be put up in dorer j to counteract the effect of the electric light wire when the lights are burning. The charges of the Sumter Exchange are ' S3(JO per month ;or business houses, und $2. per month for residences, while the charge" of the American Bell telephone exchanges H;I over th- .->:i::rr k- -ire?1 the very lu west, $50.00 per year. A ? the telephones a-d lines are now bei cg uoriiauisd and ^pmred. Two young Udies are now employed at the Central office up- stairs in the Winn building. From time to time the list of the subscribers will be published in The Daily "Item, and nil new subscribers will be added to this list. ?So after tauch trouole and expense, we find that Sumter at last has oae of the finest electrical'telephone exchanges in the world, and we har? to thaok the pluck, en? terprise and perseverance of the Sumter Tele? phone Company and Mason Bros., for it, and the people of Sumter should show their ap? preciation by every one subscribing to the ex? change. The Mason telephone is being used from Main to Mexico. Thousands of them are in use. and they have hundreds of writ? ten testimonials to show that the Mason ins? truments are the recognized leaders.

Parkhurst Pursuing. NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-Dr. Park- : i hurst to-night made public the state? ment he has promised regarding the I handling; of Superintendent Byrnes by the Lexow committee, while that official was in the witness chair. ? The statement which is very lengthy ly, begins with the reverend gentle man expressing appreciation for the ? splendid work of the committee and its talented counsel up to a certain point in its proceedings. "Late in November," he continu ed, "the indications were clear that the investigation was not to be pushed to its close with the same energetic and unsparieg manner that I had been followed up to that date. A good many days went by in j which cases were discussed which wearied the public, which made no substantial addition to the knawledge already gained and which were frit- j tering away the time that we knew : ought be expended on the inspec-. tor? and the superintendent. We knew that the character of the police force was a reflection from the j character of its chief executive and 1 his immediate subordinates and that i however many captains might be be- . smirched and however many ser g?ants might be cashiered, the genius of the matter would not be reached until we had arrived at the quality of the five men, who together constitute its executive headship. "In view of all this we are justi-: fled in saying that while the commit? tee stood ur to the rack magnificent- ; ly through all the earlier portions of the investigation, they flinched at ? the crisis As long ago as when Mr. j Moss attempted to adduce evidence ' against Mr. ByrneR in the Marrett | matter, the investigating committee I sprang to Byrnes defense Now ! that is not a thing to be debated. \ Their attitude was instantly recog- j nized by those in attendance, and ' distinctly stated in the journals of j the next morning The pursuit of j lines that might possibly have con- ! duced to the real inwardness of Byrnes' conduct and character was: discouraged as it had b?en dis- ; couraged in the case of no other ; man. - MI a m II? - Reports of stormy weather continue to be received from ail parts of Kuropc.

WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Owing to a misapprehension ca.ised by the pub? lication of the statement that the de? cree concerning secret societies was not final and was submitted to bishops in order to secure from them their opinions thereon, Mgr. Satolli offers the following brief statement of facts to set at rest the misappre? hension and possible misrepresenta? tion : The archbishops of the United States have taken counsel with re? spect to three societies, namely, the Odd Fellows, the Sons of Temper? ance and the Knights of Pythias. The archbishops decided that the whole question should be submitted to the Apostolic See. In a commu? nication from His Eminence Cardinal Monaco to Mgr. Satolli, the action of the general congregation of cardi? nals, to whom His Holiness sub? mitted the question, is made. The congregation, after considering I carefully the matter, made a decree. I This decree His Holiness fully con? firmed, and gave it complete effect. The decree is, therefore, transmitted to all archbishops, bishops and other ordinaries of the United States, to be by them carried inte effect. Mgr. Satolli has acted merely as the me- ! dium of transmission. But in view of contradictory and confusing re-! ports emanating from various parts ' of the country, the facts are thus j briefly stated.
