Southern Bell Telephone - land Telegraph Company's Sys- Item Now Complete. THE IMPROVED SWITCHBOARD Old Exchasre Deserted List Night at 10 O'clock and Its Now "Metallic Clr cnli," If Yon Plesse An In spection of the BalldlDt. The new plant and metallic circuit system of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company in this city Is now complete and all 'phones will be hereafter operated from the company's handsome new building, next to the northwest corner of Second and Prin cess streets. .The old exchange on the third floor of the Atlantic National Bank building was abandoned at 10 o'clock last night and the operators are now makipg conversation by wire possible from their handsome new and improved switchboard on the second floor of the new building. The com pany has spent a vast amount of money in Wilmington since Jan. 15tbr this year, and that the service has been improved one hundred per cent. No one who his tested the new 'phones will gainsay. Through the courtesy of Mr. T. B. MeManus, the "affable local manager of the exchange, a reporter . for the Stab last night was shown . over the new building. The new structure Is of brick, trimmed with stone, and is especially designed for the purpose to which it is being devoted. It has two stories and basement, the latter being used as a storage room of , the company where all sorts of supplies are kept. The" underground cables, recently laid in the business section are also brought into the bujlding in the basement, the wires being carried up through the floors, encased! in leaden pipes. The first floor is devoted to offices for the manager and clerical force of the local exchange and longdistance lines. Handsome furniture is being placed there and all other modern ap pliances are being installed. At the rear of the offices is a room where are located the storage bat teries, the motors for charging the batteries, the cables connecting with the operating room above. - The batteries and motors are duplicated, so that if one set gives out another ia put into operation by the shifting of a switch. To guard against emergen cies the batteries. are su constructed that thoy will run -. for many hours without being changed. The power comes direct trom the splendid plant of the Consolidated Railways, Light and Power Company, being paid for by the metric system. The second floor Is the operating room, wherein is the new switch board, the most perfect piece of mec hanism yet devised in the way of facilitating the work of telephoning. A single operator at the new switch board Is capable of doing double the work possible under the old system and with 100 per cent more satisfac tion and less annoyance. ' There is no "talking back" to (Oentral" and only one person can speak to her at a time, whereas under the former plan there was a frequent babel of voices out of which the patient operator could get nothing. Another great advantage is that the operator caiUell in an instant when two numbers ate through eon, versing, an impossibility before with out breaking In on the conversation of tbe subscribers. There are no "trunks" as in the old system. A person call ing for the conection takes the receiver off the hook at his home or place of business and Instantly a tiny 2 -volt light appears over the number of your telephone. "Central" gets, the' num ber for which you ask, and-another light flares up. .The moment thr call is answered both lights goes out that Is, when the conversation is over. A dozen ' female operators are ' em ployed during the busy hours of the day. The operators speak in soft tones, there being absolute freedom from noise and confusion. - 7 ' - " The head 'phone used by the opera tors is of an entirely new pattern. Each operator has her Individual head gear if such a term can be employed. The contrivance Is detachable, and the moment the operator finishes her work for the day she takes her 'phone and puts it away until she returns'. The 'phone has a transmitter, which, the operator wears around her neck, and which Is never more than three inches from her lips. . She does not have to bend over arid stretch to a receiver It is right with her all the time. Mr. MeManus gave a -splendid de scription of the workings of the hew exchange, In which he had all sorts of things to say about each 'phone being connected this and that way and how the man at the "trouble counter" could locate exactly a "break," but to a lay man, a trip through the building only disclosed a forest of- wires and tele: phones and bells and all other appurte nances for talking. " The building Is furnished through out with Babcock's Improved Fire Ex tinguishers and. every person In the building knows how to use them. The Bell Company now has 790 sub scribers, but should the list grow to 2,900 the new switchboard will be able : to accommodate the "string." For the long distance work a calcula graph Is employed a" wonderful in strument recording to . the second the length of any conversation. " The new system is a wonder and Wilmington Is to be congratulated that it is com pleted. - Visit the Polvog't Co.'s store this week special bargain sale. t ITS 38TH ANNIVERSARY. . - - - - s Third North Carolina Infantry Association Held Its AnnnsI Reunion on the Sonnd Yesterday Officers.

Rhodes, having been included in the menu. The din ner w.as heartily enjoyed and after re counting' war experiences and con gratulating one another that another year had passed so auspiciously for the Association, the party returned to the city, charmed with the pleasure and delights of the day's outing.
