4UTOMITIC TELEGR4PHING.
The Go,u and Stock Telegraph Compa-
ny Lay their Wires In Charleston
The Way IL Works.

One of the sigLs Of the times and OF the
prosperity and go-ahead spirit of Charleston Is
now to be seen in the wires Of the Gold ano
Stock Telegraph Company, which traverse Inc
business portions of the city. The enterprise
has been conducted by Mr.. Easterlin, the er'
ergetic manager Of the Western Union Tele'
graph Company in this city, and the lines only
await a transmltter TO be put IN working
order. The wires leal from the office Of the
Hsstern Union to the offices OF the various
scrlbers, where the company place one Of
Edison's printing telegraph instruments oil
the same patent as those used in New York
and other Northern cities.
By means Ct these Instruments the mer-
chants receive at their office, by telegraph, a
neat message, printed in plain English, re-
porting the condition of the markets. These
same messages have hitherto been carried
around by boys, and the outside merchant
may estimate the disadvantage they labor un'
der when sales are heavy, the market
excited, and five minutes may make al
the difference between a serious loss and
heavy gain. These are but branches
of the Gold aud Stock Telegraph Company
which has its headquarters in New YORK
and they have been introduced here by this
company in conjunction with the western
Union Company, Charleston being one OF Inc
cities selected for the location of branch
The wires are worked atthe main Office OF the
Western Union, and all market dispatches
come directly through.
The instruments are no iucumbrance In the
merchants office, ani seem more OF an orna
ment than otherwise. They are circular
about ten inches in diameter, and require nc
operator in the merchants Office TO worE
them. The work Is all done at the mair
office of the Western Union, and The message
comes out for the merchant printed on small
strip of paper in numbers and capital letters
neat glass case covers the instrument rs il
rests upon shelf or table, keeping it cleal
aud In GOOD working condition. The mechan
ism of the instrument is beautiful, and, like al
good inventions, it seems wonder that no
body ever thought Of the same thing before.
The wires have all been laid, but as these
instruments are only receiving instruments
they cannot be worked until the transmittoI
arrives and is set up in the main office of the
Western Union. 1t is expected in few days
and the wires will all be working By the lst o.
January. Wires have been run to the office:
of Messrs. James Adger & Co., Pelzer, Rodgers
& Co., Porcher & Henry, Mowry g. Son, Geo
w. Williams & Co., and other prominent mer
chants, and we shall no doubt see the da!
when every first.class house in this city vii
have its private telegraph.
