WILL COME SOON Wireless Station Will Be Established in Several Cities IN SOUTH CAROLINA Tlio United States Wireless Telegraph Company lioitiiiN Work. I'p011 the t>real Inland Southern Extension of Its Commercial Dispatch System?Instruments Ordered. The January number of The Aerogram, a magazine devoted to the wireless telegraph and telephone business, will contain an interesting article on the proposed extension of the business of the United Wireless Telegraph Company, and from advance proofs It is learend with pleasure and Interest that Columbia is on Ike list of new oflicea to be established. The company Is making preparations to form a complete system for over-sea and over-land business and expects in the course of time to be in active competition with the wire lines in business, social and oiiicial transactions of messages. The following from the article mentinod will bo of general interest: The eastern operating department of the United States Wireless Telegraph Company announces the plac ing of an order with the company'*} manufacturing department, for 250 complete sets of wireless instruments, all of which are soon to lie installed at. stations to be established In cities east of the Mississipp' river. This is the largest order for wireless apparatus and to manufacture,, erect and put the stations Into operation, will require aa expenditure exceeding $600,000. The majority of the stations will be of one or two k. w. capacity, with a range from 1 00 to 300 miles, but some, which are intended for long distanco service, will be of from 5 to 2 0 k. w. to transmit wireless messages, under all conditions of weather, for a range of from 50 to 2,000 miles overland and from 1,000 to 3,0 00 miles over the water. The United Wireless Telegraph Company's manufacturing department embracing three complete factories, two of which are located in Jersey City, N. J., and the other in Seattle, Wash., have a combined capacity of over $1,000,000 worth of wireless apparatus per year. The larger part of the entire output of these factories has heretofore been needed in tilling orders from various governments and for the United Company's marine department. It is probable, nowever, that with an l extension of this factory equipment, which will bo made in tho near future, the 250 sots will be completed and the now stations be ready for operation in 1900. The company promises to erect stations not only in the States oast of the Mississippi river, but also i-i the Western States from the Pacific coast eastward, until they complete an intercommunicating wireless system covering all important commeicia! mining and manufacturing contors throughout the entire United States. Inasmuch as nearly all of such cities are connected with many smaller places by local telephone systems, it is expected that the United Wirelsss Telegraph Company will b<i in a position, by the end of 1909, to receive* and deliver messages at several thousand points where the wire companies at present maintain ollices. The operating department of the company is now organizing its forces to begin tin* selection of locations for these new stations. Contracts id leases will be entered into and lie advanced work completed, ready for the installation of the aparatus as rapidly as suitable sites can be secured and satisfactory arrangements made. Among the stations proposed are the following: North Carolina?Elizabeth City, Capo Hat (eras, Beaufort, Newborn, Raleigh, Wilmington, Greensboro, Charlotte, Ashoville, Henderson and Winston-Salem. South Carolina?Charleston, Sumter, Columbia, Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson and Abbeville. Georgia?Savannah, Brunswick Valdosta, Albany, Augusta, Griilln, Ha Grange, Athens, Atlanta and Rome. Florida?Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Gainesville, Ocnla, Tampa, Key West, Tallahassee and Pensacola. Alabama?Mobile, South West l'ass, senna, Montgomery, i iikchhjosa, Birmingham, Anniston, Gadsden and Ihintsville. Mississippi? Columbus, Greenville, Meridian, .lackson, Vicksburg, Natchez and Biloxl. Louisiana?New Orleans , Baton Rouge, Alexandria and Monroe. Tennesseo?Chattanooga, Bristol, Knoxville, Columbus, Nashville, Clarksvillo, Jackson and Memphis. The article further states that the announcement of the western operating department v.*!!! he made in a short time, giving the location of HAIKU YOLK OWN MK AT. In tbc Advice of tho ProgreHHtvo Farmer. Years ago I wrote of visiting a man's farm, where all the land waw in cotton right up to tho house standing tin pain ted in a hare field. \ hopeless-looking woman was frying some Western bacon for the dinner, while the man toiled in the cotton. And I got to thinking over tho matter. There was no stock on tin. place but the mules that worked tho cotton. And as I saw that bacon, I thought that some farmer out West raised that hog, and probably made something out of it. Some railroad carried it to Chicago, and certain'}* made money. Some packer bought and cured the meat, and grew to be a millionaire. Another railroad brought it South and paid dividends by doing itSome merchant bought it and sold it to that man out mere in the cotton field at a big profit?and lie works all summer in the cotton making all these people prosperous out of his one crop, while at the end of the year he is as poor as ever, aud his land grows less and less productive, while lie might have made all those profits himself in raising the bacon at home. The Western farmer makes corn, the railroads haul it, the merchant buys it and sens it to ?.?.e man who could raise the corn at more profit tnan the Western farmer if he improved his land. Yet he goes on in the old hopeless way imagining that cotton is the only xmng ?o get money out of, and that corn, oats, and wheat are only "supplies, and the Western farmer gets rich supplying him. When will the cotton farmer get out of this slavery to everybody else? Not till he goes to farming just as the Northern and Western farmers do. He has a crop that is tar superior as a money crop to an** they have, and a crop that fits into an improving rotation of crops fully as well as any they have North or West, and while they get rich in sending him "supplies ' he gets poor furnishing the crop that maintains the trade balance between tins country and 10 u rope, and selling the cottonseed that fatten the cattle that make the meat he buys in various forms. Now, then, is the i.me to resolve to change all this. Plan a rotation for your farm and stick to it, grow plenty of forage and mako manure, add when you once have manure enough to cover a corn-field, you will he on the road out of this slavery to the North and West. Nine-tenths of the letters I get from farmers ask what fertilizer I shall use for this, that or the other crop, when the man who farms right will need to buy little, and that, only of the mineral forms of acid phosphate and potash, or but one of these, perhaps. I have been hammering away a*, this for many years, and yet how few have taken the idea. Hut 1 do hear now and then from farmers who have broken loose from the old ruts, an 1 are succeeding. Would to (Jod tha? I could get all of them to do so! At TO AC< llHvNT AT SAVANNAH. Virginia Millionaire Hurt in a (\dlision. Savannah, (la.. Jan. 4.?David Dunlap. millimetre horseman and tobacco manufacturer, of Petersburg, Va., was injured tonight when his touring car was wrecked by his chauffeur, who chose that nmthod of preventing a eollission with another car, driven bv Mrs. J.

As rapidly as those stations are completed they will he put into operation with the stations already established, of which there are now about 2 00, including sea coast stations and ships equipped. The business to be handled by this extensive wireless system include commercial messages to and from boats, between Ixiats and shore stations, "over-sea" cable business, commercial and land service between cities and the distribution of press matter in competition with the wire systems.

Ixindon, Jan. 3.?Seeing tho announcemeivt, emanating from Now York, that a Plymouth lady spiritualist intended claiming the prize of (.'>,000 offered by the American Phychical society to anyono who! could prove having received a mes-1 sage from the dead. 1 have inter-' viewed the lady, whose name id Martin, at her home at Plymouth , address should not be given, she i readily consented to the? interview, j "1 have macre no eitort to prove' that 1 have received a message from the dead," she said, "but I am capable of proving it." She had, she asserted, received very good incr>-1 sages from the dead on several oc- I casions. The lady explained that she re- ? cently saw in a London paper a telegram from New York containing I an announcement by the; Metropolitan society of New York to the; ef-j feet that thov had raised Sfi.OOU nov i in the hands of David Goldberger, I 747 East 136th 8t., to be given .

From my house here 1 could count tno oranges as they are spui on the table in New York." Questioned as to the identity of her spirit friend, she said, "I would not like to give the name. I never knew my spirit friend when she was alive, but I have seen her many times since. it is with her aid thai 1 claim that I can do what I have offered to .do. She added, that, as a rule the message from her friend came to nor when she was in bed and were communicated in whispers. I As an instance of her powers of claravoyance, she mentioned some time ago a friend of hers attending a dinner at Exeter. Although she remained in Plymouth, she was able ; to repeat the conversation which her friend had with another lriend at the dinner, tell what wine waa drunk, and give other retails. All this, she said. she did with the aid o. ..or spirit friend. ' DeWltt's Carholizod Witch Ha ? ! Salve has many imitators. There is one original, and the name I)oW:tt is on every box.
