The Telephone Strike. \ The Bill Telephone hands went on a Irike Friday afternoon, all the outside arcee throwing up their jobs. Upon inset ig? lion we learn that the trou?)l?rose from tlie faettliat Mr. Ed Dawson, he geneial foreman in charge of the out- I ide construction itc-e, had discbartrrd Ir. Hamilton, bis time keeper. Th t uts'de men learning of tlie matter ither through Mr. Hamilton or otherrise and Ining iu'orinwl that Mr. Diwmi bad rt-fuswd to say why he had diebarged Mr. Hamilton, waited npos Mr >aw9on at dinner hour and demanded an xplanation as to bis action. It seems hat they all belong tc a Union. After io consultation between Mr. Dawson uu m? luremaa 01 ioe gang the me t all truck and the work stopped. We learn com Mr. Dawson that be discharged (r. Hamilton on account of his habitual itoxication and failure to make some of is men desist in the use of bad language pon the streets, after repeated requests > have it stopped, that when the strike ccurred Mr. Dawson went to Spartanurg and had a telephonic conversation 1th the superintendent of construction, rplaining the situation, that the euper1 tend en t told him he had done exact ly ght and he would up-taold him in his stion. The strikers claim that this was not [r. Dawson's true motive in dischargig the time keeper but that It was a tatter of personal feeling in a private tatter. They do not state the nature f the perronal matter. They say they uit because they are union men and mi i Hamilton, and that they considered [amilton had been ill-treated and tired ithout just cause. This is about the status of the affair i near as We have been able to gather We do not care to comment upon te matter further than to say that if Ir. Dawson's explanation to us of his teams for discharging the time keeper are ue he has sufficient grounds for his stiou. We will also say that the work tat has been done in the construction ue under Mr. Dawson's supervision ems to have been executed in an exillent manner. Mr. Dawson has been ith the company, we understand, some 'teen years and is nn tn ?h* r. E. J. Foster has been appointed me keeper, and quite a number of the en hare returned to work, while other ?w men bare been put on. The force sumed work Tuesday morning and r. Dawson says he has sufficient force complete the werk. He says he is 1 itermined to give us one of the best [nipped plants here that the company is anywhere. ' The cutting in of the phones began hursday evening of last week. Tire ' sting out of the first cable began Wed?daj evening, the 19th, and the 0rst ' ill on the first wire connected was relived by the man in central at 4 55 p. i. The lines leading up Main street ere lint connected, after which the senes were put in. Mayor Young's tioue, No. 100, was the first phone conscted. The second cable was run oat i the pole in front of central Friday om which the wires leading east on 1 [ain street were taken up, and the 1 tones cut in along the street. The lird cable was also run out to the cenal pole on Friday. This cable con- 1 Ins GO pairs of wires as do tbe other 1 vo. This cable is rigged up peparatory i the extension of the system. This 1 ves a cabel capacity for 180 phones. The drop in central is of tire capacity ' 100 phones. The wsrk in the central Bee was done principally by Mr. D. P. Lorphy, the courteous and gentlemanly ireman in charge of inside construction, rd shows the skill of a master band, [r. Murphy is .thoroughly up on tbe ( tost minute detail of the telephone irsiness. He started from the bottom ' ing of tbe ladder and has steadily ad- ' rnoed from an expert climber to his , resent important position. He will renin in Union some days to instruot the 1 intral operator in her duties. The strike and the severe weather of rune retarded the work to some exnt hut in a few days all the phones will j r in working order. We have talked rer some of the phones and tbe service ( as fine as we have ever seen anywhere, is a pleasure to talk over the Bell 1 elephone.

The snow K> me was like an old woman said once about some visitors, it made me glad twice, when it came and when it left. Washington's birth day passed off as other days in Jonesvllle but I understand down near Lockhart Junction the lay was celebrated with great sport and the changing hands of much current money. It was a day of high-cockalorum among the many sports prasent. Spartanburg met Union in a match game of cock fighting and others of the sporting fraternity from Atlanta, Greenville, North Carolina and even other places, as 1 understand, were there. The boys forgot themselves and pitched the main pit near a school house aud the grand jury will be presented with tlie whole shooting match and it will oertainly be a big case as there, were several hupdred people on the ground and many of them took a hand iu the sport. Money it seems Was plentiful aud it was a real stock exchauge day, something like the "bulla and hie bears'.' of. Wall Street. When the exereises of the pit closed some were rich aud some were poor. uue night last week a colored man that belongs to the Heating gang broke into John Gilmore's barbrr shop and stole some razors and other things, and Magistrate J. W. Bates had the wouM be barber in limbo next morning before breakfast time, and the stolen goods were recovered with a flue of a few dollars as a rider. The nimble Angered razor lifter is a new negro to Jonesville having' only been here a short while. He is of a ginger cake color with one side of hia face black and rough. * The Bell Telephone line has been established through Jonesville and is moving on towards Union, which place they expect to re.^h this week. . The flrst Quarterly Conference forithe Jonesville circuit was held at Jonesville last Ftiday morning. liev. W. P. Meadors, Presidiug Rider, was present and complimented the the conference on its reports mad expressed himself as being quite hopeful of a prosperous year in church work in his whole district. 0- TRLVIONB.
