sent over The Atlantic cable in one
minute: fifteen can usually be sent
under pressure, and twelve words a
minute is a good working rate. Mes
sages of twelve words have been sent
all the way from New York to London

What the Civil Rights Bill Has Done.

The wreck and ruin brought upon
the Republican cause in the South by
the civil rights bill can never be esti-
mated. In North Carolina and Ten
