BIG DEAL JUST MADE boutbern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company Makes an Important Contract. EXTENSIVE NEW CONNECTIONS Within Thirty Days Wilmlnrton will Have Telephone Connection Within a Rsdlss of Nesrly a Hnndred Miles The Columbus Co. A deal that will mean a big thing to Wilmington has juat been consumma ted. It is a contract entered into be tween the live Southern Bell Tele phone and Telegraph Company and the Columbus Telephone Company, whereby this city is soon to have tele phonic connect within a radius of from 75 to 100 miles. This will be a great benefit to our citizens, especially when it is taken into consideration that the places to be reached by tele phone are of much commercial value to Wilmington, and it will also mean that our city ascends another notch in the world of progress. So quietly and rapidly have the ar rangements for this deal been worked that it will be a great surprise to our citizens, but it will be a decidedly wel come one, which will duly be appre ciated. The places to be connected by tele phone with Wilmington are Chad- bourn, Whiteville, Bogue, Ash- pole, Boardman, Clarendon, Lake Waccamow, Shallotte, 8outh port and Council's station, of this State, and Conway, 8. O. Within thirty days most of these connections will be made. The lines are already up be tween many of the places, and the work, which has been going on for the last ninety days, is being steadily pushed. All of these lines are the property of the Columbus Telephone Company, a North Carolina corpora tion of recent birth. At the time the company commenced operation, a little over three months ago, they had no idea of covering such an extensive field as now proposed, nor did they ever contemplate co-operation with tbe Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. However, the advantage of .such moves were soon seen by both companies, with the result already stated. The contract was formally made in this city Mondsy by Mr. Thos. B. Mc Manus, the alert manager of the Bell Company, and President Harrelson and Secretary Perry, of the Oo lum bal Company. Under the agreement all the work from now on is to be sup ervised by the Bell's experts which is a sufficient guarantee that it will be well done. Not only will our people be able to communicate with the places men tioned, but will be able to Ulk to all Intermediate points as well. It will also be possible to talk with promi nent farmers at their residences and with the proprietors of large country stores. Two of the eleven places named above, Chad bourn and Whiteville, already have local exchanges of over three score of 'phones. Four of the other places, Ashpole, Lake Wacca- maw, Council's Station and Conway, are to have exchanges installed. In all, the Columbus Company now has seventy-five telephones in use through the territory mentioned. The toll fees on all lines will be the same as charged by the Bell Com pany. The new lines will also get the bene fit of Wilminarton's Goldsboro and Kaleigh connection, .now being made. Work upon thia line is at present about fifty-five miles from the city. For tbe great convenience and benefit Wilmington is to derive from these new lines, praise is due Mr. McManus, who Is always wide-awake to the city's welfare and ever stands ready to ad vance it's interest and prosperity, and to the substantial and go-a-head com pany he so capably represents. Since the above article was written it has been ascertained that Cronly will be another place connected with Wilmington by telephone. HEW SECRETARY C0M1NQ.

Aged White Man Arrested Here Yesterday for the Kinston Authorities. MANY WILL RECALL HIM. He Claimed to Be a Book Af eat and Has Been Here for Several Weeks A Kiastoa Officer Will Come for Him Tcday. At the wired request of Chief of Police James H. Bouse, of Kinston. Police Captain Williams yesterday had one of his men to arrest an old white man, J. W. Hoyt, who .has been in the city the past fortnight as a book agent on the charge of false pretence. The telegram from Chief Bouse was later, followed by a letter, which stated that Hoyt is wanted in Kinston for general 1 swindling; that the book house he claims to represent, George Barrie & Son, of Philadelphia, has de- nied having him in their employ. Hoyt ia now in the guard house, awaiting to be given into the custody of an officer who will arrive to-day from Kinston. The alleged swindler is a well known figure to many of our people, as he has been energetically among them trying to sell Barrie's edition of Shakespeare and other books. He is fully past the three score mark in age and appears to be a man of intel gence and wide experience. He is small of stature, but thick set and the little hair he possesses on his head has long ago turned gray. It ia a great wonder why a man of such advanced age should stoop to crime, and if such be so, it is also a matter of profound Pity. While here he stopped at the At lantic Inn, corner Front and Bed Cross streets, where he was arrested yesterday afternoon by Policeman I. F. Huggins. ' The old man makes a positive denial of the charges, saying he knows nothing at all about tbem MILITARY RECEPTION. Wilmington Light Infantry As Usual to Do the Proper Thing In Honor of the Fifth Qeorjia's Clever Officers. Through the kindness and courtesy of the Atlantic Yacht Club, tbe mem bers of the Wilmington Light Infan try and its officers will give an infor mal reception to the clever officers of the Fifth Georgia Regiment. Geor gia Stat Guard, now in camp at the "Hammocks, " to morrow at the hand some home of the Atlantic clubmen, at WrightsvilleBeach,and they will be assisted in this reception by the offi cers of the Second North Carolina Regiment and the officers residing in Wilmington who are members of the Governor's staff. The invitation was extended through Captain A. P. Adrian, of the Wilmington Light In fantry, to their military friends from Georgia yesterday afternoon. The Wilmington Light Infantry boys are anxious to show their visiting friends some little courtesy, and have taken this method of expressing a feeling of hospitality towards this disting uished Georgia regiment. There will be no special features of the entertainment other than music, dancing, refreshments, etc., but our boys propose to treat them right roy ally, in good old North Carolina style, and to endeavor in every possible way to see that their friends enjoy them selves. It was desired to have the" re ception at the Wilmington Light In fantry armory, but as this building is now undergoing extensive repairs it was Impracticable to do so, and when the generous and gracious offer made by the Atlantic Yacht Club came it was accepted with the fullest apprecia tion of the hospitable desires that prompted the club to offer its building and grounds entirely to the service of the company and their specially In vited guests on this occasion. It is un derstood that the reception will be from 9 o'clock until midnight No occasion of this kind would be complete without the presence of the charming fair sex, and in extending the invitation to the military gentle men from Georgia, It was understood to be the sincere desire of the Wilming ton Light Infantry boys to have the wives and friends of the visiting mili tary among their guests and, of course, the young lady friends of the com pany. Taken Sick Os His Beat. Last night about 9 o'clock, Police man Dan A. Rowan, one of the most efficient members of the force, was taken suddenly ill on his beat at .Sev enth and Bed Cross streets.
