It is said that there is a golden mean between extremes in all thing. , In China, when a woman calls up the telephone central for a connection she uses language something like this: "My beautiful, sweet-voiced sister will please do me the Joy-glv-iag pleasure of ringing 1 2 4 so a dutiful wife can communicate with hrtr sublime husband." Over here when we call up, we say, "Whose iat?" When the central kindly .In forms us that it Is central, we say "Gimme Hill Jones." When some one at the oth-r end answers we again sing out "Whosezat?" and on bring politely informed that it is l!ob Smith, we yell, "Don't want you," and intimate that Itob Is not better tl.tn a convict fur answering his own riii?. Then we go through the whole ris-a-ma-role nualn until Hill Jones is found. Tlio golden mean between these two extremes of politeness and rudeiipss is to tdmply call the number that you wish and when you get an answer say simply, "I wish to speak to Mr. Jones," or words to that effect. Then If Mr. Jones has answered the I'hono he will say, "This is Mr. Jone.V or If he hasn't the one who has answered will call Mr.Jones cr tell you that he Is not in, or that you have the wrong number. There i no occasion to be rude. Phone us your orders for Groceries; we can fill them Phone 195. GRIFFIN &. BIVENS. Phone 195. Mr. V. B.

However, he has accepted his old position with the cotton mill and will return to Monroe. The opening session yesterday of the investigation ot the insinuations against Judge Carter indicate that about the whole thing Is likely to prove Insinuations. One witness tes tified that the Judge had kicked over a box and skinned the witness' shin, and that indicated want of judicial temperament. Pr. J. L.

Judge Devin immediately sentenc ed the prisoner to three years at hard labor in the State's prison. De fendant's counsel gave notice of ap peal. However, the appeal will not be carried up. as the defendant chose 'o not tight further, and begin serv ing his sentence at once. Sheriff Griffith left for Raleigh with Mr. Funderburk this morning. In the case of the negro, Rohin stoue, for practicing medicine with out license. Judge Devin changed the sentence first Imposed. The first sen tence was a total of eight months on the chain gang. This was changed to four months. In the case of Clyde Moore, con victed of seduction. Judgment was suspended on payment of costs. There had been a civil suit instituted by Mr. A. F. Brooks, father of the young woman, against Moore for damages. This suit was compromised and in consideration of this compromise judgment was suspended. The terms of this compromise were not made public, and there are various rumors afloat. One is to the effect that the defendant paid fifteen hundred dol lars. But there is no truth in this. While the exact amount is not known, the statement can be made with pos it iveness that the sum was a very small one, no doubt well on the in side of thre hundred dollars for all, including costs.

Sunday, the 21st, was the first day of the spring season for l'Jla, About this time each year the sun passes from the northern to the southern side of the eliptle or path of the sun. He enters the sign Aries on this day and in our hemisphere we have the beginning of spring when the increas ing solar heat will soon start .afresh, vegetation which has been dormant all winter. This period is also called the vernal equinox equnl nighis. The sun Is now on the celestial equa tor so that the days and nighU on our equator are equal. 1 hope the young people of the present will study something of the zodiacal signs, what they are, what they mean nnd whet their origin. A thorough knowledge of the subject will do away with ever so much superstition and a')surd no tions about the "signs'1 influencing our operations In so manv things. Ninety per cent of the people have no correct Idea of what tho "signs' are nor what they signify. Her friends will regret to hear that Mrs. R. A. Gaddy is now and has been for some time in feeble health. It Is to be hoped, however, that with the return of genial, balmy spring weather Mrs. Caddy's health will change for the better.

Glad to be able to report the con dition of ('apt. Jones as much im proved since last report. Her friends will be exceedingly glad to learn that the health of Mrs. Bunyan Caddy is steadily Improving. There Is nothing within the realm of human activity and human effort so good and so nearly perfect that it cannot be bettered or improved. On the other hand, there is scarcely any thing so bad that it might not be worse. Think about it. O. P. TIM 1ST. "Incle Tom's Cabin" in Moving Pi. . lire at the Key Sunn day.
