The Postal and Cable May Have Its Wires • Here Soon. The Postal and Cable Telegraph Company claims that it will have its wires to Savannah before long. On next Thursday it will open an office in Atlanta, and simultaneously in a number of other southern cites. For some time the erection of this company’s line has attracted atten tion, and the public has awaited wjth a good deal of interest to see what kind of service it would offer. The indications are that it will be very fine. It is not likely that there will be a rate war, lor the new compauy announces, that it will not do a qut-throat business, but will make promptness its trump card. Mr. Milton Orr, the Atlanta mana ger, is enthus-astic over Jhe prospects for southern business. “In the first place, we have the finest line ever built in the United States,” said he. "The company uses nothing but the heaviest copper wire strung on cedar poles, has fitted the office with the latest and most im proved apparatus. Promptness will be the feature of the business. I have Employed white messenger boys, who will be unifotmed handsomely in gray with gold irimmings, and I will see that the messages are delivered prompt* ly. Wc will put up call boxes at once in the principal business houses, and we will give the business men every facility for communication with all parts of the country with dispatch The company is ten years old in the north, and already covers all the points At' lanla does business with. We cover all the eastern, northern and western states and the south as tar down as Birmingham, Alabama. • In a few weeks we will reach Savannah, Charles ton and New Orleans. “The promptness with which this company does business is illustrated by a case wjjich occurred in Philadel phia the other day. Over the Postal & Cable Telegraph Company’s line, and over the McKav-Bennet cable, owned by the same syndicate, a mes sage was sent from Philadelphia to Melbourne, Austraiha, and answered in fourteen minutes. It is an every day business for the McKay-Bennet cable to transmit messages from the New York to the London stock ex change and back in six or seven minutes." "Has this company come to stay?” “I should think so. It is ten years old and has fifteen or twenty thousand miles of wire, reaching trom Portland, Maine, to California. It has forty or. fifty lines from New York to Chicago, and has invested alogether, $12,000,- ooo. It is owned mainly by McKay, the California bonanza millionaire, whose wealth is e^timqted at $30,000,- 000. The other leading stockholder is [qmes Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New York Herald. When the Southern Telegraph company was closed out, they said they would come south and make a determined fight for business, and that is what they -pro pose to do now. Bonnett and Mc Kay own the commercial cable, the only direct cable out of New York, and over this the foreign business of the Postal & Cable Telegraph Company, will be transmitted. We have direct lines from Atlanta, to New York, Chi cago, Cincinnati, Washington and other large cities.’’ A Strong Man in a Crisis. During the s to mi}' debate in the conven tion of colored Baptists in Indianapolis, a very sound and sensible position was taken by Rev. C. T. Walker, of Augusta. He is manager of the Weekly Sentinel, a colored paper issued in this city, and is pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church. His resolqtitr, which, alter a stormy debate, was adopted, only to he reconsidered and tabled upon a recurrence of hitter discussion,“contained more strong sense and good advice than anything uttered or recorded during these proceedings. Rev. Walker recognizes that the best and most conservative element in the South does not endorse the outrages of Baxley and East Point. He secs that there is more hope for his race in nn appeal to that element and in encouraging fricndJy relations, than in fiery resolutions or incen diary utterances. Following are the reso lutions, which speak for themselves: Whc-cas, Wc, the representatives of the colored Baptists of the United States, repre sentatives of one and a quarter million com municants, are now assembled in the city of Indianapolis, to devise plans for the relig ious, moral and intellectual improvement of our people, r s well as to give Africa the gospel; and whereas, a weighty and respon sible duty devolves upon our leaders, *n ac celerating a settlement ot the vexed and intricate negro problen^ and w'hercas, coercive measures and i TOndiary speeches will only make trouble .or an already op pressed, defenceless people; »nnd whfcreas, many of the speeches on the floor of this house yesterday were calculated to put the Baptist ministers of this country in a had light before the American people, and mis* lead many of our ignorant, helpless people in the Southland thcrehy cause them to get into trouble, from which they cannot excul- fpatc themselves; and whereas fare are many Southern white people nfo nre lifting • up their voices in defense of the* Southern negro, and the white Baptists of the South give annually several thousand dollars, to assist In paying our own missionaries to labor among our people. Be it Ite olved (1), That wc appeal to the (»od of the universe, who presides over the destines of naLions, and who is the friend of the oppressed and needy, and has promised divine aid to all who nut their trusts in Him, Resolved (2), That wc recommend our people to petition the conservative element of Southern white people to unite with us in securing our rights as citizens as to bring to justice those who perpetrate outrages upon law abiding, inoffensive citizens. Resolved (3), That we recommend our people to cultivate a friendly relation with those among whom they live, to acquire ed ucation, accumulate money and property and cultivate race pride and race unity. The Philadelphia P^ess, an extreme Re publican print, while deploring recent out breaks of violence, feel encouraged by the tone of the Southern papers. Says the Press : “A public sentimont against them must he growing, or the outspoken com ments on the outrage which wc copy, would not appear.” The Press agrees with Rev. Walker that “it is the duty of all now to sustain the element in the South which is trying to create a public sentiment so powerful aguinst the«c outrages that they will become impossible.”—Augusta Chroni cle. The sentiments of this conservative colored man is in striking contrast with the incendiary talk and speeches of some af tho delegates to the late Indianapolis convention. Wo com mend theso timely utterances to the careful consideration ot those, both white and colored, who arc engaged in the work of. stirring up strife between the races. A Dead Town Lives Again, New port. Many of the oldest inhabitants ot Waukulla county, who knew this town in its by-gone days, have olten .pre dicted that, though destroyed bv fire and suffering Irom the ravages of war, it would arise Phoenix-like trom its ashes. The celebrity of its mineral waters the fine farming lands which surround it, the high hammocks, which are abundantly supplied with oak, hickory, magnolia arid bqy, with a fine growth o| pine titnber, will no Ipngev lip idle in the sphtyde • cf the forest, but again become “a thing ot beauty and a joy forever’’ to Waukulla and the rest of the world.—Tallahas- The Industrial School for Girls.

That it pays to be polite the follow ing flora the New York Star, will at test : One of the most prosperous mer chants in New York had his life changed by a simple performance of duty. He was clerk in a big Boston dry-goods house at a small salary. He always tried to effect a sale. One3!ay a customer appeared who was more than particular about his purchase. In relating his experience with this man the merchant said to a reporter: “I have a quick temper, and at times during the transaction I felt that I could strangle the customer; blit I quickly curbed my temper and went at him tooth and nail. I felt that my reputation as a salesman was at stake, and it was a question of con quer or be conquered. At last I made the sale, and with it came a great sat isfaction; but I was not done with the man yet. I wanted to sell him more. He said something about sending his wife around to look at some dress goods. I promised to send samples of new patterns as they arrived. The customer thanked mo and said: “It has taken you a long time to sell me a few goods. Arc all of your customers as hard to please as I ?’ “ ‘It takes some customers but a short time to make their selections, while others wish to be slower; we are bound to please them all,’ I answered. “ ‘Does it pay your house to devolo so much time to so small a sale?’ he inquired again. “‘Yes,’I replied. ‘1 have taken pains to give you what yon want. I know you will find the goods as I say. You will have confidence and come again, and the next time it will not take so long.’ “After getting his packages lie walked out of the store. In three days I mailed samples of tho new dress goods to bis wife, and the cir cumstance passed entirely out of my mind. I was promoted in a few days, much to iny astonishment. One morning I was informed that Mr. B. w'shed to see me. I went to the office with surprise and some fear. I was more surprised when I Baw sit ting beside my employer my custom er of a few months back. He proved to be the moneyed parter of the con cern, whoso other business interests kept him away from tho dry-goods store almost entirely, and he was known to but few of his employes, although he knew that I was a new man as soon as he saw me, and thought to sec what metal I was made of. That he was satisfied is proved by his making me a buyer of the sev eral departments whore I sold goods. My prosperity began with the tough customer, and now I thank goodness that I got him, and that I did not show my disposition to strangle him.” — A Big Railroad Scheme. The Biimingham News says: “It is known that the Alabama Midland railroad, which is being built from Bainbridge, Ga., to Tuskaloosa, Ala., via Montgomery, is practically con trolled by H. B. Plant, president of tho Plant system of railroads and steamship lines. The completion of the Midland will give Mr. Plant a direct and unbroken lino from Tus kaloosa to Charleston, S. C., via Bainbridge and Savannah. The Sheffield, Birmingham and Tennessee River railroad is building an exten sion from Jasper to Tuskaloosa. It is rumored in railroad circles that Mr. Plant lias either bought, or will buy, tho Sheffield, Birmingham and Ten nessee Ilivcr railroad, which will give him a line on to Sheffield. It is said that from Sheffield he will build to Milan, Tcnn., and connect with the Illinois Central. This would make a direct line to the sea, with splendid Western connections, and would form a great railroad system. The line would tap the mineral regions of Alabama in several places.
