WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, JANUARY io, 1908 Ganderbonc Forecast (Conclude) Rome had a gate named for Janus. It led from the Palatine to Quiriaat Hall, and was closed only when Rome was at peace with the world. This occurred but four timet—under Nutna, Augustus Caeaar and Yeapatian, and after the firat Punic War. Julius Caeser kept the-gate open wider than any body. Just to satisfy himaelt that no other Roman had ever had any thing on%im in this respect, he once drove twenty loads of hay through the Rate abreat, as against a record of fourteen loads. Caeaar was a great joker, and his favorite pun was made at this gste. Riding through when the sun was setting, he pointed at the sunset with one hand and at the passing railroad construction crew with the other, and exclaimed to his lieutenants, "Behold, the day goes!" Another year (mark well the rhyme) Ha* joined the ltoat of Father Time. A few more *alti bank* will hurat To many trusting one's diaguit.

The moon will tie full ou the 18th, and persons we never heard of will be mentioned for vice president. The Fish H»r riman fight will go into tue tenth round, and Mr. Fish will complain >o The Hague tribunal that Mr. Harahan is using knucks. General Funston, on guard at Goldfield, will appeal to Secretary Metcalf to transfer him to Washington where the fighting is going on; Christnns pteierts will be exchanged for something you want, and Japan, hearing the fleet is to keep right on tcross the Pacific, will move over on the mainlind and dig cyclone cellars.

THE TELEPHONE AND TIE FARM The present active development of telephone lines throughout the United States brings to mind the taot that It la comparatively few yeara alnce the Invention or the telephone, whtoh was llrst publicly exhibited at the Centen nial Exposition In Philadelphia. I 87« Since that time over 7,000,000 tele phonea have been put m° aervloe. Alexander Bell, the Inventor, formed a company for exploiting the device, which was leased, not sold. to the uaers. The general public immediately realised the Immense advantage of the telephone and soon every lerge city hsd Its exchange. The "Bull" companies, however, did not care to develop the smaller towns, ami the village at all. This was but natural, aa In large towns, hlch rentals could be charged, short lines need only he- built, and a •mall Investment brought large re turns; whereas. In tho country, the lines Were longer and the subscribers fewer. • It* wia not until the advent of the INDEPENDENT telephone movement, about ten yeara ago, when local home owned companies formed to supply ser vice Where tho "Bell" would not, that telephones were placed In reach of the farmer, this being rendered possible by the fact that the original "Bell" patonta had expired and that numerous concerns had Invented Improvements on the original Idea, thua placing In the hands of the great American pub lic, better telephone equipment than It was possible to securo from the mo nopoly, which did not sell, but only rented Its products. The INDEPENDENTS turned their attention to the great mass of unde veloped territory to be found In rural communities, and- soon Hues sprang up ijt every direction. In lowa apd In the ftreat Northwest, tho farmerfl^various communities have combined, and by each man buying his own telephone and building tho line, which Is, after all, a very simple process, telephone service over an entire county or state Is possible, and the actual cost of operating these systems amounts to only a few cents per month for each phone. 0 4 The advantages of having a telephone are many. First, is the advantage of being ablo to call a neighbor In case of aickneaa, fire, danger from tramp* or other sudden calamities. Recond, coma the aocla'l features. The fact that appointments can bo made or social affairs dlacuased by the women lolks whevare thus enabled to visit tho fslghbora snd learn what Is taking ! lace without a tiresome drive over dark and muddy roads. If there Is a good, musician in the neighborhood, the receiver is taken down, the neighbors uil listen at their 'phones, and the music can be heard In twenty different I * many miles apart, thus enabling many to enjoy what hitherto has only been possible for a few. Third, Is the Immense financial ad vantage the farmer himself gains by being able to cell up the ncareat town and And out the mark* t price of a load of corn, cotton, etc., before he brlnga same Into town. It IH alao possible with the 'phono to rill up the bank, or the hardware store in use a piece of machinery la brok- n. end duplicate parts needfMl, or It Is possible to call tip ihe store ami ! nve them send something out by a nl/chbor who Is coming your way. In other Words, the telephone will monthly wave ten times what It coats to the fnrifcet. Tho county merchant aeon realised that his business Is more than doubled by the neighborhood phone line. Peo ple' buy more when it i» easy to ask for. He can buy cotton quickly or can notify his customers of some special bargain. Me gets In tough with his customers every da* in: Lead of once 01* twice a week. When the poatofflce has a 'phone, think how cany to call up and aak If there la any mull. hint, ad of having to drive In to find out It Is certnlnly a protect lorn to know that the telephone will oall holp In case of need, and tramps carefully avoid farm-house* Into wh&,L they see the wlrea running, an frtejr know that even though the men are away, help Is In easy cn I liquid they would have no chance to commit a crime and gat away undetected, aa the whole county can be notified of their whereabout* Putting up the telephone line Is a very simple matter.'the poles can easily be cut near the route ..f the line, and are easily placed In position. The wires ahould be of a npeeigl grade Bold for thin purpose, ordlrtary fence wire will not do. The telephone should be of the beat possible grade One concern, ufter ten yeara' of experience, devel oped a line of instruments known as "Famous Farmer rone*.* which are particularly suited t> this service, as the parta are few and their construc tion simple. This concern also furnishes upon requeat. complete Instructions* telling how to put up the line and con nect the telephones, and how to organ ise. exchangea.
