Multipliex Telephony is Now Said to be an Accomplished Fact, Accord Ing to General Allen. Washington, Jan. 3.-General Allen the chief signal officer of the army today announced that as a result of recent experiments by the signal corps, \multiplex telephtj.y is now pradticable, whereby .-ver'al inde pendent conversations may be carried on simultaneously over the same wire circuit. Another important discovery, calcu lated to double at least the cap'acity ol the existing telephone lines is that I4 is no -longer necessaxy to use two wires, or what is known as the "re turn wire" for efficient telephony, but t a single wir# with "silent-earth' connections can be used for multiplex telephony. All of the necessary in struments required- in multiplex tele phony are already developed 'and can Tbe purchased from dealers in the open m1arket. It is a remarkable fact that the 'sup er-position of additional telephone conversations upon as wire does not in terfere in the slightest degree with the operation of the, present telephone installations, which remsin unchang ed. That the new system is entirely practicable, and that it has long pass ed the experimental stage, is evidenc ed by the fact that a single wire cir cuit between the research Iaboratory of signal corps at the bureau of stan dards on the heights north of Wash ington and the signal corps construe tion labratory at 1710 Pennsylvania avenue, is now daily used for the in -dependent transmission of two simul taneous telephonic conversations.

Blaustein, manager of the Newberry branch of the American Cash Purchasing scompany, has been called to the home office, Baltimore, Md., in reference to the previously ad vertised change, in order that he ma.y be instructed as to what future course to ~pursue in connection with -the operation of the local branch of this big concern. In behalf of ourselves and the buy ing public, we hope that the change referred to may only consist of some minor detail in the local management and that the transfer of Mr. Blaustein to some other brianch may not be con temjplated, as he and family have en deared themselves in many ways to the people of New'berry.

Vote In Favor of Increasing Member ship Dues-Enthusiastic Over Roads. Columbia State, 3rd. The Rural Letter Carriers' Associa tion of South Carolina voted in favor of increasing t'i per capita dues from 25 to 050 cents and. passed strong res clutions on good roads at a special call meeting held yesterday in the city cduncil chamber. Several addresses were delivered. The counties represented at the meeting were: Richland, Dorchester, Edgefield, Fairfield, Grangeburg, Col leton, Chester, Lexington and Saluda. Among the members of the associa tion present was Miss Florence Liv ingston of North, one of the two wo men letter carriers in South Carolina. The other is Miss Myra L. Hicks, of Cherokee. Miss Livingston was one of the delegates from South Carolina to the national convention of the associa tion last year in Kansas City. Meet in Florence. The annual meeting of the Rural eLtter Carriers' Association of South -Carolina will be held on July 4-5 at Florence. A~.record-breaking attend anlce is exipected. Thomas E. Wicker, of Newberry, president of the association, presided over yesterday's interesting session. C. L. Blease, of Newberry, governor elect of Siuth Carolina, was the first speaker to address the association. He told the letter carriers that their or ganization could do much toward im proving the roads by united effort on the part of all the members. In the same way, said Mr. Blease, they could. bring about other legislation in their favor. Probably Change Constitution. The change in the constitution' of the association necessary to raise the dues of each member from 25 to 50 cents was favorably voted on by 'the members present yesterday. The con stitution will probably be amended at the meeting next summer in Florence. The present assessment per memnber is insufficient to meet the obigations of the association. Th'e mail carriers present at- thie meeting yesterday devoited the larger portion of their time to a discussiona of the question of good roads in which they are vitally interested. Glover on Good Roads. A. A. Glover, of* Edgefield, was call ed upon to speak on thi's subject b~y President Wicker. Mr. Glover declar ed that road builders were needed for county superv ors, men who knew what a good road mreant and h'ow .to build one. Each county, said Mr. Glov er, shiould employ a civil engineer to survey new road routes and straighten the old ones. As for neighborhood roads, over which the county has no jurisdiction and on which puiblic funds could not be expended, the owners of the prop; erty abutting upon them should keep them in good repair. A general discussion, in,which sev eral members participated, followed Mr. Glover's address. The "suasion method" was suggested as a good one to use -on thel land owners, whose property adjoined neighborhood roads in bad repair. The Resolutions. After the discussion President Wick-' er proposed the following resolutions which were unaniimously adopted: "Be it resolved that: -"1. We favor the appointment of a State good roads association. "2. We favor State aid for building hard roads. "3. We favor the appointment of a county civil engineer and expert road worker to superintend the working of the roads. "4. We favor the removal of the county supervisor from the realm of politics and the working of the roads 'be left entirely in the bands of the civil engineer and expert road worker and that he be empowdred to employ work gangs- to work the roads. "5. We severely condemn the old overseer system by which the people living along the roads are called out and expected to maintain and build One More We, For Cut Gla Offered by Danie The Je Another Big Bonus Offer ( Get Busy and It Bonus Although the Kontest is only a little more than a month old, it is attaining proportions. and creating a style of comment over the county that stamps it as being one of the biggest things of its kind ever attempted in this State.

Much interest is mantsted' in the beautiful cut glass dish offered by the popular jewelers, Daniels and. Wil I Rmson, and it is hard to tell who the winner will be -as two of the Kontes tants from the rear are making rwpId strides to the'front. Miss Julia Smith of Chappells has made a big jup tbis week a'na it is apparent she and her. friends are working to have Miss Julia 'at the head of the list' before very long and they deserve much credit for their work in her behalf this week. Miss Ellen Werts, of ProspeIty, hasn't- been able to get -out much since ChrItas, having'been kept at home nursing 'her mother 'wqo has been quite~ ill, yet a glance at the standiig of Kontestants will show what~ anr energet.ic worker Miss Ellen is.
