TELEPHONE BILLS
TO BE RENDERED
ON 21st OF MONTH
V nev plan <?t tendering bill> foi
telephone -< j x i< <* will ! ?*? introduced,
bx the Southern I ?? *1 1 lelephone*
( 'oitipaux throughout tin- Carolina-,
-tailing with charge- for December ?
exchange serx ire.
Instead of tin* hills for all sub
srribri- being mailed on the first
ol t lie month a- at prrsent. the bill
ing i 1 1 be dixided into six equal
groups. ra< h group of bills being
mailed shortly aftrr iheir dale.
It i- slated that the nexx billing
plan permits the work of preparing
bill- to be spread throughout the
month, thus enabling the telephone
t ompanx to give to their patrons a
more eHirienf hilling service. The
long distance service charges on
each bill will include items up to the
date of the bill, instead of such items
appearing on bill- onlx up to the
20th of the preceding month, as has
been the practice.
I nder the new plan telephone
sub-rribers here will reeeixe bills
dated the 121-1 ol each month.
It will be nece-sarx while the
change is in progress to include
charges for local service, long dis
tance service and telegrams for oth
er than normal periods. However,
after this adjustment has been com
pleted hills will cover the regular
periods: namelx. tin- month preced
ing the date ??! the lull lor long dis
tance service items, and one month
following dale <?| the bill for local
ser\ ice.
Kacli subscriber will receive a no
tice with his Noxember 1st bill and
also with his next subsequent bill,
fulh explaining the plan and indi
cating the period covered b\ the
charges on bills in the future. Ad
ditional information about the new
plan mav be ? cured at the telephone
office.
When Parents And
The Law Disagree
That the . il^ of North Carolina
are deeplx concerned about lamilx
welfare and the t>pe ??l parental dis
cipline administered in the home is
manifest frosi the leient case <?l
Stale v. Carter i Mrs. \rthurl tiied
in the November Term of the Chero
kee Countx Superior Court. About
twentx xears a^ Mrs. Rosa Killian
Carter married i man bx the name
of Lewis and l?? them was born a
daughter Cla Lewis. Lewis died
and Clara w;i- placed in an orphan
a*\ linn in th' state of Tennessee.
W bile in the institution, the mother
married Arthur Carter. Fixe chil
dren haxe been born to this union.
I lien it was that Mrs. Carter per
suaded Clara I" leave the orphanage
and come b;i' k t ? ? lixe xvilh her and
;? step-father and some half brothers
and sisters. Clara returned about
three xears asio and till recent I v. lix
ed with her mother and the new fam
i I \ in the \\<?|| Creek Communitx .
Mrs Carter ?s fort v -five vears
old
I nder an indictment charging
eruel and inluimau treatment, Mrs.
Carter was arraigned before the Su
perior Court. II i^ Honor Judge Wal
L. Moore presiding, on November 9.
lc)2o. (Tara Lewis was there as the
the prosecuting witness. The in
dictment wa? taken nut after a thor
ough investigation of the Carter
home In Mrs. Cathleen W. Warren.
Superintendent of I'uKI i<- Welfare
of Cherokee County. A prelimi
nar\ hearing was had before a jus
tice of the peace and Mrs. Carter
was bound over to the Superior
Court. \t tile trial in tin* justice
cou rt and in the Superior Court it
was proved that Mrs. Carter had
lieaten her daughter with large
switches* sticks of stove wood, and
ropes. One witness testified that
Clara V mother tied her hands to the
ceiling with a chain and beat her un
til the floor beneath her feet was
red with blood. Mrs. Carter stead
fast Is denied her brutality but the
scar- plainlv \isihle on Clara's
hands and arms. lens and body, and
the knots and wounds 011 her head
weie mute evidence of a mother's
cruel and inhuman treatment.
Counsel on both sides argued the
cii-c to a jurv ??f good and lawful
men. the judge charged the jury, and
it retired to return in a very few
minutes with a verdict ol "guiltv."
If ever justice triumphed in a just
?\uise. it did s?. in this instance.
Pursuant to ibis .erdict the court
passed the following judgment on
the accused: Mr-. Carter was sen
tenced to serve si\ months at the
State s Farm Colony for Women,
i- suspended, however, on the fol
lowing conditions: That Mrs. Carter (
report cverv si\ months for two
vears to the welfare officer for good
eonducl : that she permit the welfare
officer to visit her home at will as
-he already has a right to do; that j
she forfeit all right to the custody !
or services of Clara l?evvis: and that
she pay all the costs of the trial and
prosecution.
Mrs. Carter's motive for the cruel
and brutal treatment of her daugh
ter is unknown. It is thought that
she wished to get rid of Clara be
t ihc iaiier would not slave and
do all the menial services for the
new familv into which she was lur
ed. '1 hat Clara was not treated as
an equal is certain. \\ bile Clara is
not the brightest of girls, she is nev
ertheless Mrs. Carters own daugh
ter. and as such, she deserved to he!
leated by her mother as a human be- j
ing and with a characteristic mother
lovc. Then? i- tragedy in the thought j
