Twelve separate telephone directo-

practice until recently. The change

smaller than when the contents of the
twelve were put in only four books.
The exchanges are grouped geo.

DEFINITION OF SPRING.

Spring is season like pepper and salt
Earth brings il, revolving-tis not the
cooks fault:
Spring fever sleepers with tonic are woke:
On the first day of April all fools spring
joke.
A spring is a part of your watch and
your bed;
Inc time of the year when the young
folks should wed:
lis what the wild animals do at their
prey.
lis where many rivers get started, they
say.
In the spring there is sunshine, and green
grass, and bud;
The Salt Lakers always have conference
and mud:
Every thing in the world with new life
does tingle.
And all the prize poets have money to
Jingle

CLEANING TIME,

Each year the spring times rosy riot
Tells just the same sweet things
OF natures work so kind,
Defying pace and time.
Now the sunset glow is burning.
Fading into br0Oding night that sooths

For nature again is radiant returning
With spring sunshine across the hills
Apart you hear the voice Of spring
Through trees and meadows
Whispering soft and low;
Drifting across the fields of long ago.

SPRING?

How lovely is the springtime,
When wintry winds both blow.
And lambkins dance to ragtime,
Mid pastures white with snow.
To hear their joyful bleating.
And watch their lively hops.
1t makes one feel like eating
Those tender spring lamb chops.
Though spring don't come in season
1t is not the doctors fault
We have no valid reason
To blame him for spring-halt.

And the robin begins ia sing.

We look each day with anxious ewes,
For We have to watch them grow.

The closing of the city schools

ties among them. This extended va

FULL WEIGHT Is GIVEN
OR NOT. AS DESIRED
Few Standard of Measures
in State.

AmerIcus grocers and dealers gen.
orally no doubt accord to their Gus
toners full weights and measure. but
there is no manner of ascertaining if
the fact is literally true as Sumter
county, like nearly all others in Geor-
gia, possesses no standard weights
and measures.
The subject is one of live interest
over the state just now.
Captain John A. Cobb, of the court
of ordinary was asked yesterday if
there was in his Office the full com
plement of official weights and meas
ures, as required by law
He replied that there was no com
plete outfit, nor had there been in
many years. He has several of the
required standards, but others are
missing, if the county ever possessed
such, which is doubtful.
Application was made by Captain
Cobb some time ago for full set OF
the standard weights and measures
but he was advised by Cow Terrell
that the state had none on hand, and
that there was no appropriation avail
able for buying them
Inquiry demonstrates that this is
much the case all over the state.
The law requires the ordinary to
keep set of standard weights and
measures which must be the same as
the United States standards, but it
also requires that these be furnished
by the state.
Further requirement is that the or
binary mark all correct weights and
measures used in the county, and
persons purchasing weights and
measures for use in business, shall
carry them to the Ordinary to have
them stamped.
Failure to have measures properly
stamped makes a merchants bills
and accounts non-collectable at law.
If any person complains of weights
whether stamped or not they must be
inspected by the Ordinary, and if
found false it is the duty of the grand
jury to indict.
Recently several Ordinaries have
written to Gov Smith asking him to
furnish them sets of standard weights
and measures. He replied that he
cannot do so because the Legislature
has made no provision for paying the
expenses. 1t is said set of standards
costs $500.
The law specifically provides that
the Governor shall procure stand
ards for each county in the state
which does not have them, and then
the duties of protecting the public
are put upon the Ordinary.

MONUMENT HAS
BEEN NAILED DOWN
Richmond Trip Will Not Be
Made just Yet.

Despite efforts by Mrs. N. B
Harrison, of Savannah, chairman OF
the site committee of the Wirz mon
ument, to get the shaft started to
Richmond, the piece of marble has
been nailed down good and fast in
Americus until the question OF ano-
ther convention is decided
Contractor Clark has received a
communication from Mrs. Harris
regarding steps to be taken in ship
ping the monument to Richmond
But he has also been notified by Miss
Baxter, the state president, to await
further orders.
AS efforts are on looking tow
ards another convention, it would be
somewhat premature to ship the
monument to Richmond, when ii
might be finally located on Georgia
soil.
So for the present at least, the
monument will sleep peacefully in
it's casing in the yards of the Clark
Monumental Works, and will not
start on journey to a point outside

ALL MONEY PAID
TO TEACHERS
Sumter County Pays in
Full Promptly.

Sumter county is one county where
the school teachers do not go un
paid, where they do not have tc
either wait for months for their
small and hard earned salaries, OF
dispose of their warrants at serious
losses to themselves.
County Supt Moore, whose able
administration of the affairs of the
schools of Sumter outside of Ameri-
Gus has done so much to bring them
up and maintain them at high stan
dard, has just completed paying the
salaries for the term ending with
this month. Every teacher whose
account has been turned in has been
paid in full up-to-date, and those
who have not been paid will have
checks mailed to them as soon as
their accounts are received. In no
instance is there any delay. The
Superintendent makes it his espec-
ial business to endeavor to have
every teacher in the county schools
get the money that is due promptly
a far better condition than prevails
in many counties, in some of which
the unfortunate teachers wait, in
some instances, for several months
before receiving their money.
There are twenty-seven white and
thirty-six colored teachers in the
service of the county schools. They
have all rendered efficient service
during the school term now closed
and it was with much satisfaction
that Supt. Moore mailed them their
checks SO that they would have the
money in ample time for the holiday
purchases.
Under a system of prompt pay
ments the county is enabled to get
a much better class of teachers than
would otherwise be the case" said
Supt Moore to a Times Recorder
representative THE fact that the
teachers knows the money will be
forthcoming as soon as the services
are rendered makes the teachers sat
isfed, there is a natural inclination
to give the hiehsg .Myro1- majTu =.
to give the highest service possible,
and to join in every measure to pro-
mote the good of the schools. 1t is
certainly to be regretted that
through the state the teachers
cannot be paid promptly. They are
not literally paid, as a rule, and to
compel them to wait for months or
sacrifice part of their small earn
ings discourages them, leads many
to quit teaching, and generally has
demoralizing tendency. am GER
tainly glad that Sumter county is
not in this class but is fortunately
able to carry on the finances of its
schools in a business like way

SMALL BOYS MUST PAY
FULL LICENSE TO SELL

Mayor Hawkins stated in the City
Council last night that a number OF
small boys had applied to him for
permits to sell fruit and fireworks
from street stands during the holi-
days. The charge for license for a
year is $40, but the boys hoped to
get the right free or for much
less sum. No action was taken by
the Council on the matter, which
shuts out the boys unless they pay
the full license.
