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 has about all gone after a ?
full week upon the giound. 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.
