COLLINS WIRELESS TELE? PHONES. Representative of Company Has In? struments in City and is Demon? strating Their Practical Use to Those Interested. Mr. M. L. Kosenwald, of Charlotte, N. Cm representing L W. Gregory, sales agent for North and South Car? olina of the Collins Wireless Tele? phone Co., is in the city for the pur? pose of the practical success of the Collins Wireless Telephone and will | remain several' days. He has office room with Mr. J. C. Huger, on the second floor of the Sumter Clothing Co., building, at which place he will be found during business hours. He will take pleasure In demonstrating the use of the telephone in a manner that will convince the most skeptical that It is possible for the human voice to be transmitted for great distances without wires. Mr. Rosenwald says that wireless telephone systems are now in every day operation at Port? land, Me., between Philadelphia and New York and at a number of other places. The United States navy de? partment has equipped the warships with wireless telephones, while the Pennsylvania railroad has had its vessels equipped. Wireless telephony has passed the experimental stage and is now becoming a commercial proposition in competition with the Bell and Independent telephone sys? tems depending upon wires for the tracmisslon of sound. While Mr. Rosenwald makes no long distance tests, he demonstrates very clearly and convincingly that the Collins instruments transmit speech? that the spoken word can be heard as distinctly as over the best Bell or Sumter telephone, and that neither distance nor obstructions, such as wooden or brick walls interfere in the least with the wireless transmission of sound. A Young; Hero. During the dally bath of two young sons, ages two and three and one-half, the mother was suddenly called to the telephone. On her return she found them both out of the tub, thor? oughly excited. Thereupon the older one exclaimed: "Harold was about to go down in the hole, but I got him out, muvver, I got him out."?The Delineator. While out walking with her papa and mama one day, Florence, aged four, ran some little distance ahead. As she got near a mule hitched to a farmer's wagon the animal began to bray. She wheeled instantly, and run? ning to her mother as fast as she could go, said in round eyed aston? ishment, "Oh, mama , sumtln said sumfin."?The Delineator. Mr. J. L. Alnutt, who returned from New York several days ago, says that he perfected all arrangements for the construction of the Sumter Gas Works and that it will be completed and In operation well within the time limit fixed in the franchise granted by the city. 06 00 "Men may come, and men may go," But The Mutual Life Insurance Co.

Auk. 27.?By order of the Charleston County Dispensary Board 417 gallons of beer and 97 gal? lons of whiskey were emptied today in a sewer at the main dispensary on east Bay street, being the first of the lot of confiscated liquor, held for the prescribed period, and then destroyed in accordance with the dispensary act. The beer and whiskey which were de? stroyed today were seized during the first week of this month. While keg beer and all opened bot? tles of whiskey will be destroyed in accordance with the act, the goods which are captured In unbroken j packages will be sold through the dispensaries and there is now a lot of contraband liquor awaiting pur? chasers. The atock of seh.ed goods is j estimated to be valued fit between 1J.500 and $2,000, be:ng of the salable goods which have been seized during the past few weeks. I In the lot of go,?os to be place Jon sale are 60 barre | of export beer of vcrious brands. The beer will be soid at about 8 cents u bottle, whor-.vis it usually retails at from 12 to 15 ecnts per bottle. There are ten 1ozen bot ''es to a barrel, and it Ii to ne seen tha'. there Is a good profit coring to the city and county from this source alone. I A lot of liquors are also to be of? fered for sale. Thi liquor which is to he sold will be only that in unbroken pacakages. The County board will mo^t in a few days and mak? a\v.irds of con? tracts for liquors for replenishing the stock of the dispensaries n.^w much reduced. The dispensary constables and the police raiding squad continue to do effective work in capturing contra? band liquors. . Today the constable, captured 118 gallons near Ten Mile Hill and the police a case of 25 quarts from an express wagon. Miss Chrystal Eastman, who has been appointed by Gov. Hughes on the commission to inquire into the question of the employers' liability and the causes and effects of unem? ployed, is the only woman on the commission. She Is the daughter of the Rev. S. E. and the Rev. Annie E. Eastman, Joint pastors of Park Church, Elmira, N. Y. Two weeks of as hot, dry weather as this latitude ever endured have put the finishing touches on the cotton crop. The hope of a top crop has been blighted and the crop is opening pre? maturely. The prospective yield has been reduced ten per cent, within the two weeks. The dispensary is having a closing out sale, but there is no intimation that prices will be cut. Jacksonville has thrown up the franchise in the Atlantic League and the league Is on the ragged edge. Charleston Almost Dry. Charleston, Aug. 29.?This has been the dryOSt Sunday in the history of Charleston in many years. The heavy seizures of contraband liquors by the constables and police during the past week severely taxed the stock which the blind tigers carried and many people were turned down today when they called for drinks and especially for Deer. The social clubs were about the only places where beer was avail? able and in these places the stock was not any too large. With the reopen? ing of the dispensaries tomorrow the thirsa will be met to some extent. The school trustees of Aiken coun? ty have organized an association for the purpose of bettering the schools in that county. O'Donnell&Co. Sumter, S. C.
