HE HAS COME OVER.

The bankruptcy bill was called up
in Congress on Friday, and Dav id
B. CulOerson, who is Chairman of
the judiciary Committee, and who
has opposed the present bill Great
ed some surprise by announcing
himself in favor Of the passage of
the pending BILL He said he had
believed in the past in the necessity
for a voluntary law. He had, how
ever, come to the conclusion that
it was impossible to pass a bank
ruptsey law containing only an in
voluntary provision. The reason
was obvious. The creditor class
would not permit debtors to secure
the advantages of a bankruptcy
law without exacting something in
their own interest. He would vote
for the Bailey substitute providing
only for voluntary bankruptcy if he
believed it could become a law, but
not now, so believing he would vote
for this bill which remove a load Of
debt from the shoulders OF thous-
ands of insolvent debtors. He
extolled the bill as the best ever
presented in Congress. Mr.. Gull
bers0ns remarks were loudly ap-
plauded by the friends of the meas
ure.

WHY THEY SOLD.

The Secretary of the Alabama Tele-
phone Co, Gives the Reason.
George A. Wilkins, secretary of
the Alabama Telephone and Con-
struction Company, in conversation
with a reporter of the Journal this
morning, said in answer to a ques.
tiou as to why the company aban-
doned the telephone business in Sci.
ma; The simple reason was that
the exchange was not paying eX-
penses, aud there was no prospect
of its doing so at the prices
charged, 1t appeared to be impos-
sibIe with the instruments used,
principally the Harrison, TO give
satisfactory service, or a service
that would bear comparison with
the Bel, This was a constant
source of complaint and annoy
ance. 1t is all well enough to talk
about home institutions aud local
influence, but the investors want,
and expect to receive, some return
on their investment; aud the peo-
pie, the patrons Of the telephone
exchange, want, demand and must
have good service, The prices
charged and the instruments used
by our company would bring
neither, and this is the reason why
we abandoned the field. Selma
