Bowman Got Olf Light. Statesville Daily. Wade V. Bowman, of Catawba county, convicted of "an assault on a female,” was sentenced to a year on the roads and appealed. A mature man, married, of .standing in his community, was found guilty of mis treating a 12-year-old girl. He es caped the more serious charge which carried with it the death penalty, but for that which he confessed a year on the roads is light punish ment. Cases of mature men de bauching girl children have become •so numerous asto arouse a feeling of horror. Putting the ease in its mild est form, a mature man so low, so depraved, as to debauch innocence, should bo severely punished. In fact he is fortunate *f he cw-uites the most drastic punishment at the hands of outraged parents. There is no defense, no excuse whatever, for the infamy. But it is noticed that there is a growing disposition to treat it lightly, to settle on a money basis. Some of these days an out raged father will undertake punish ment himself; and when he does he will have the sympathy of all fathers of girls too young and too innocent to protect themselves. Australian Gold Discovery. Melbourne, Feb. 12.—Australia re called today as the seventy-fifth an niversary of the discovery of gold, which discovery first brought the is land continent into the world’s lime light and was chiefly responsible for its rapid settlement and development. The discovery was made by Edward Hargreaves, an Australian who had been attracted to California by the great gold discoveries there in 1840.

The two storms left a snow blanket two feet deep on the level ground, and many frozen drifts six to 12 feet deep. The death list as a result of the last Storm stood tonight at 17. and the number of accidents was many times greater, he property damage bad not been .estimated, but the cost of clearing streets and roads already had run into milliocu of dollars. -Along Fifth avenue, the meeea for expensive motor ears, traffic urew aside as four sleighs loaded with girls |from a Broadway musical show bobbed along tothe melody of seligh bells. l)obbin ; however, was missing from this scene, as the sleighs were drawn by a motor ear in which was Exit The Telephone Operator The Pathfinder. This year the world will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the inven tion of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell. The evolution of the telephone revolutonized the social and business life of mankind. The telephone apparatus in use today does not look nor work much like that in use in early ’Bos- Shortly after the invention of the telephone the original type of mongrel switch boards were supplemented by the magneto switchboard. Xext came the multiple (common bnttezy) switch board. and now the latest invention, the automatic exchange, is rapidly being installed. Mechanical tele phone service is gradually being sub stituted for the more familiar type where central's ‘‘Xlimber, please" is the outstabding feataure. A. B. Stronger, of Kansas City, Mo., invented and developed the automatic telephone exchange. He patented his invention in 181)1, The fiiwt “girl-W' telephone exchange was installed in La Porte, Ind., in 181)3. From that year until 1900 hut little progress wan made in the development of the new automatic system, but following 1900 progress in its development bps been rapid. However, there is still much work done by girls and, in many cases, men. Iu the automatic, or “dial" system each individual subscriber’s register records all calls. At the exchange these registers are set row on row in panels behind dust proof, tightly locked plate glass doors. Each sub scriber's line is connected to one of these registers. At the completion of each call the device records the mes sage and. at the end of the month, the subscriber is charged for the that of the country surrounding his home in the district of (’onohelas.'not far from Bathurst. The idea struck him so forcibly that ho began dig ging. and on February 12, 1851, tie struck gold in considerable quanti ties. When news of the discovery reached Sydney and other centers it caused wild excitement nnd immediately there wns a mad rush of prospectors to the gold fields. A few months later a native fqpnd a large mass of gold among a henp of rocks, and later a minor found H 5 pounds of gold in three blocks of quartz. Ip the de cade that followed the first discovery in 1845, Australia shipped no less than $400,000,000 in gold to Eng land.

In smaller cities and country dis tricts, home drawn sleighs tem porarily had displaced automobiles and trucks ns possessors of the roaods. The progress everywhere toward a resumption of normal activities was s'.ow. The weather Was clear, but below freezing teni]ieratures greatly handicapped the thousands of shovel gangs which sought to clear streets nnd highways. 1 Hailroads virtually had returned to schedule, but surface ears in many places were operating only intermit tently.
