Petition Going Up From Charleston to the General Assembly to That Effect. The following petition to the General Assembly is l)eing circulated in Charleston for signatures. "To the Honorable, the Senators and Representatives, the General Asa state and before or after delivery to the consignee*" Mr. Tillman then withdrew his resolution and offered the bill, which was referred to the committee on judiciary. The bill as presented reads; "That all fermented, distilled or other intoxicating liquors of liquids transported into any State or territory or remaining therein for use, consumption, sale or storage therein upon arrival within the borders of the State and before or after delivery to the consignee in such State or territory by subject to the operation and effect of the laws of such State or territory enacted in the exercise of its police powers to the same exteut aud in the same manner as though such liquids or liquors had been produced in such State or territory and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of being introduced therein in original packages or otherwise." Senator Gore of Oklahoma introduced a bill providing for the election of United States senators by popular vote. sembly of the State of South Carolina in regular session for the year 1908. "The humble petition of the unsigned respectfully shows: "That the dispensary system for the sale of liquors in the county of Charleston in said State in which your petitioners reside is not desired by a large majority of the voters and residents of said county as your petitioners verily believe. "That the same is not suited to the needs, circumstances and conditions of the people mostly affected thereby: "That for these reasons the said system is not supported by public sentiment, difficult to enforce and not calculated to demand observance or respect. "That your petitioners humbly pray that such legislation may be enacted as shall restore the license system to this community which was _ r ? -a ?i ? - - oi lorce at tne time oi the original enactment of the State dispensary law in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-two, with the modifications required by the State constitution of 1895; and your petitioners feel assured that thereby will be secured, not only all the benefits that could possibly be expected from the dispensary system now of force but the same would operate also for the well being and upbuilding of our people." At recent conferences in which a goodly number of our people participated, the undersigned were appointed a committee to look after the matter of giving the people an opportunity to sign the petition and I to present the same to the General Assembly through the proper channels. Firmly believing that a large majority of the people of Charleston will be in sympathy with this movement, we approach the performance of our duty with confidence. Our confidence is strong because in principle our people are at heart opposed to the dispensary liquor system. In their opposition thereto they have had ready and intelligent public support from the Charleston newspapers for the past fifteen years. It is further strengthened because we can refer to a law abiding and law respecting condition which obtained here for many, many years before the first establishment of the State dispensary a condition to which we verilv be'.ievp thp npr?r?io fti?? leston long to be restored, and which can afford as much revenue as that contemplated by the dispensary system. This confidence is further strengthened by the favor according the "home rule" doctrine in the last State election. And finally our confidence in the people of the State is strong that they will iook into our true condi tion, see what is suited to our needs and circumstances, and favor our appeal, though our Senator and Representatives to the Senators and Representatives of our sister counties, for relief and for the enactment of a law that will give us peace, quiet, good order and happiness. All who desire to sign the memorial will find a copy with anyone of the undersigned. John D. Capplemann, 46-48 Broad street. 0. G. W. Marjenhoff, 153 Church street. L. C. A.

P rHE TELEPHONE AND THE FAR* The present active development of tele- ' bone lines throughout the United Ktutes rings to mind the fact that It Is eoinparnIvely few years since the invention of the B elephone, which was first publicly exhibited t the Ceuteunlal Exposition In Phlladel- s< hln, 1876. Since that time over 7.000,000 elephooes hnve been put In service. a Alexander Bell, the Inventor, formed n ornpnny for exploltiug the device, which rns leased, not sold, to the users. The ? enertil public Immediately realised the linlense advantage of the telephone ntul F oou every large city had Its exchange. The Bell" coiupaulea. however, did not care f o develop the smaller towns, and the vlltge and rural communities were uot con- .. Idered at all. This was but natural, ns a large towns, blgb rentals could be barged, short lines n?,ed only be built, nud 51 small Investment brought Inrge returns; rhereas. In the country, the lines were J< mger and the subscribers fewer. It was not until the advent of the IX- p EI'ENDENT telephone movement nbont en years ago. when loeul home owued ompanles were formed to supply service here the "Bell" would uot. that tele- if hones were placed In "each of the farmer, M Ills beiug rendered possible by the fact hat the original "Bell" patents had ox H Ired and that numerous concerns bnd Inented Improvements ou the original Idea, bus placing Id the hands of the great _ .morionn public, better telephone equip- I' lent than It was possible to secure from he monopoly, which did not sell, but only ented Its products. The IXI>KI'KNI>KNT8 turned their atentlon to the great mass of undeveloped errltory to be found lu rural eoinmunlles. and noon Hues sprang up In every Irectlon. In Iown nud In the great Northrest. the fanners In various communities nve combined, an', by each man buying C Is owu telephone and building the line . hlch Is. after nil. a very simple process, rtephone service over an entire county or ^ tate Is possible, and the actual cost of \ pern ting these systems amounts to only n > w cents per month for each 'phone. The advantages of haviug a telephone art isny. First. Is the advantage of being ble to call a neighbor In case of sickness, re. danger from trumps or other sudden ulamltieg. 1 Second, wine the social features. The I net that appointments can be made or m DCial affairs discussed by the women folks .'ho are thus enabled to visit the neighbors nd learn what Is taking plaee without a Iresome drive over dark and tnnddy roads If there Is a good musician In the neigh orhood, the receiver Is taken down, tin elghbors all listen at their 'phones, and tin luslc can ho heard in twenty different otnes many miles apart, thus enabling tauy to enjoy what hitherto has only Iteen ossll >le for a few. Third, Is the Immense financial advantage lie farmer himself gnlns by being able to all up the uearcst town and tlnd out the tarket price of a load of corn, cotton, etc.. efore be brings saute in to town. It Is a Is . ossible with the 'phone to call up the auk. or the hardware store in case a iecc of machinery Is broken, and duplicate arts needed, or It Is possible to cull nn ?>.? ? lore nii<l have theni send something out Itv <? neighbor who la coming your way; In * thcr words, the telephone will monthly / r.ve ten times what It costs to the farmer.

It is certainly a protection to kuow that lie telephone will call help tn case of need, L nd trumps carefully avoid farmhouses into hlch they see the wires running, as they now ihat even though the men arc away.
