SOUTH-WESTERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
Terms and Conditions on which this and all Messages are Received by this Company.
In order to guard against and correct as much as possible some of the errors arising from atmospheric and other causes appertaining to telegraphy, every important message should be repeated, by being sent back from the station at which it is to be received to the station from which it is originally sent. Half the usual price will be charged for repeating the message; and while this Company in good faith will endeavor to send messages correctly and promptly it will not be responsible for errors or delays in the transmission or delivery, nor for the non-delivery of repeated messages, beyond two hundred times the sum paid for sending the message, unless a special agreement for insurance. These terms apply through the whole course of the message, on all lines by which it may be transmitted. 
J.C. VAN DUZER, Sup't.
