Judge Miller has an abundance of ju- dicial severity, but occasionally re jn- dulges in joke from the bench Today, while an attorney who had formerly been Mayor, was defending a client charged with an assault with weapon. the de- fendant, colored man, was on the stand as witness for himself, and on cross-ex- animation the solicitor drew 1t out of the witness that he had been fined in the Mayors court for this very offense, by his own lawyer, while acting as magistrate After hearing all the evidence the judge gravely remarked as he took up his pen to enter his judgment: "I will give to the defendant what he failed to get in the Mayors court; that is, justice; and therefore he is discharged"
 The electric light company has estab- lshed local steam plant in the city, pending repairs on the race at Jackson Shoals. For the last two evenings both the incandescent and arc light systems have produced perfect lights. Heretofore 1t has been necessary on the incandescent circuit to use a 36-candle power bulb in order to get sufficient light to read book or newspaper but since the inau- guration of the steam plant a 16-candle bulb gives enough light. 1t Is the purpose of the company to inaugurate meters and to place a meter wherever the light is used, thus obviating the inequalities of the flat rate system. A large Dumber of meters have been received. The company also proposes to furnish the bulbs free of cost in exchange for worn out bulbs, and 10 per cent reduction is allowed for cash paid within the first ten days of the month.
