PEOPLE OF DAWSON PAY
TRIBUTE TO M'KINLEY.
UNION MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD AT
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Citizens Honored Memory of the Lamented
President. Addresses Delivered by
Congressman Griggs, Judge Parks
and Colonel Edwards.

The crowd which gathered at the
Methodist church Thursday afternoon
in attendance upon the services honor
ing the memory of William Mckinley
was not as large as might have been
expected; but it was truly representa-
tive, and those who were there came
not from idle curiosity. There was a
noticeable hush in the church, and
that low, HOMOGENEOUS hum of converse
ton, usually so evident upon such oc-
casions, was conspicuous by its alb
sence.
Following beautiful voluntary by
Mrs. w. A. Baldwin the choir render
ed in touching manner the favorite
hymn of the martyred dead, LEAD,
Kindly Light" Then Congressman j.
NJ. Griggs, acting as master of ceremO-
MES, introduced Colonel M. c. Ed
wards, the first speaker. Mr. Edwards
speech, like that of Judge Parks, who
followed him, was a glowing tribute to
the private life of Mr.. Mckinley. Both
gentleman spoke of his devotion to his
aged mother and INVALID wife, and
eulogized the man for the spotless
character of his home life.
Judge Griggs followed Judge Parks.
He spo,.e of the president as he had
known him, always courteous, kindly
and considerable.
AS fitting finale to the exercises
the choir sang Nearer, My God, to
Thee" the hymn which Mr.. Mckinley
softly cbanted as the dark, unfathOma-
BILE waters of death welled no about
him The crowd then slowly filed from
the church, each one feeling that the
nation and the world had sustained a
loss.

An important Turnpike.
(Marion News.)

The most important piece Of legisla
tion to Mcdowell, Yancey and Mitchell
counties that ever came this way is the
law creating the corporation to con-
struct turnpike from Marion to Ball-
ersville and Burnsville. The State is
to furnish fifty convicts to work on
the road; pay all expenses, and con-
tinue the good work until the turnpike
is fixed fact. DR.. Morphew did well
to obtain so favorable a provision.
This project has been in contempla-
tion many years and futile efforts have
been made to get the turnpike. At last
the long cherished dream is about TO
be realized. The work viii be com
menced soon, we take it, and prosecut-
ed with diligence The turnpike will
facilitate the development of the mani
fold resources of our rich section, and
be of untold benefit to the counties
concerned; to Marion it will be a
bonanza.

The determination of the mosquito
would bring more comfort to many sec
tions of North Carolina than any one
thing that could be accomplished.
Where there are large undrained
swamps. the determination would be
very difficult but where they come
from small stagnant pools and the like,
experience has shown that kerosene oil
will exterminate the musical pests,
and the beauty of it is that you do not
have to catch the mosquito and hold
his nose while you pour the oil down
his throat.
THE proof of the pudding is the
eating" The Mayor of Winchester
Va. has solved the mosquito troubles
by getting rid of them, and other towns
can do likewise. He secured the pas
sage of an ordinance requiring kero-
sene oil to be poured over all standing
water. People laughed at the Mayor
but he carried out his plan, and here
is the result told by Winchester cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun:
THE first experiments with the oil
9were carefully watched In one in
stance, Immediately after it application
one gentleman stood by a rain barrel
watch in hand. In five minutes IS mos
quitccs (females) arrived, bent on lay
ing their eggs. OF this number Y
died as soon as they came within the
influence of the OIL
There can be no doubt whatever OF
the success of this scheme here, and
since so much notice of it has beer
taken in the papers [ am told by the
Mayor that he is in constant receipt OF
applications for information on the sub.
ject from all parts of the country, sc
that he has been obliged to keep print
ed copies of the law and of the notices
sent out to the people about it's en-
forcement, which he has furnished to
those writing for information.
up to this time refined oil has been
used here, but hereafter it is probable
that the crude oil will be used instead
THE Mayor says that the real credit
for the success of the scheme here
and for it's general adoption throughout
the country is due to DIR. l.. S. Howard
the accomplished entomologist at the
head of the Bureau of Entomology, in
the Department of Agriculture, at
Washington, d. c."
Before beginning his determination OF
the mosquito, Mayor Barton made a
study of the mosquito and wrote his
views as follows:
The female member of the mos
quito family. as is not uncommonly
the case, is the head of the house She
does the buzzing and biting, and she

also lays the eggs to the number OF
from 200 to 400 i'm each mass. AS she
does all this in the night and does not
seem either to omit her ordinary round
of visits, she must be very Industrious
little beast.
The eggs are deposited in boat-shap-
ed masses on the face Of any fairly still
pool of water The eggs may hatch in
16 hours and the larvae (the first stage
of mosquito life) live beneath the sur
face of the water, popping up from
time to time to breathe. This state
may be completed in seven days and
the pupal state may last "a hours, so
that an entire generation in summer
time may be completed in 10 days.
say may because if the weather is
cool the time between commencing the
mosquito and fully equipping her for
business may be indefinitely enlarged
when cold weather comes the adult
mosquito, still on the wing. hibernates
in cellars, outhouses or in "any old
place and is ready when spring comes
to renew business at the same old
stand. No degree OF cold will Kill it.
Partial and temporary relief may be
obtained. of course, by screens, nets,
by burning pyrethrum and by catching
the mosquito in blacking Dox tops
sneared with coal oil But these
methods are very partial and only
temporary. The best of all the
wholesale remedies is the application of
kerosene to the breeding pools. Elk
pertinent shows that about an ounce Ca
teacupfuD of kerosene to each Is square
feet of water surface on small pools
will effectually destroy all the larvae
and pupae in the pool and that the
adult female who comes to the pool to
deposit her eggs will either turn up the
thing which passes for her nose and
go away, or if she lights she will die
and her eggs will perish with her. Nor
need this inexpensive application of
kerosene be renewed more than once
a month. 1t need not be sprinkled, but
if simply poured into the pool the oil
will reach all parts of the water if the
parts of the water itself all connect
pits or vaults under or behind water
closets are favorite places for the mos
quito to breed. This has been espe-
cially observed in Winchester Rain bar
rels, too are prime places for them. So,
too, are the pools left in the town run
which are not included in the regular
current of the run. The rain barrels
should be covered and the water drawn
from near the bottom by spigots. In
that case a little oil put on top will help,
and the oil will stay on top and never
mix with the water

Extracts from DR.. Venable on THE
Mission of the Teacher"

My follow teachers l do not propose
this evening to weary you with mere
platitudes about your work. nor to in
dulge in complacent summing up of the
many eXcellences of your. profession. But
purpose pleading for a proper perspec-
tive, a ulster sense Of the eternal fitness
of things.
Among the false standards by which
we and our work are most often meas
ured is that of the money value. 1t is
not surprising that this should be appeal
ed to. The glittering coin has been the
arbiter of value for so long a time in
this slow-learning world that it seems
impossible for it to understand how the
riches of the whole world may fail to
out-balance one common possession of us
all, which some handle carelessly and the
very existence of which is denied by
others, so intangible, useless and valueless
does it seem. l do not mean that the
money standard is to be despised as
valueless. 1t has its appropriate place,
and we are forced often to appeal to it,
but the proper perspective must be main
tanned and the penny must not be held
so close to the eye as to dwarf the stature
of man, blind us to the glories of a
sun, or hide from us some of the eternal
yerities of Gods kingdom. The choice is
put to many of US: Will you use your
knowledge so as to secure to yourself
ease of living, and a taste of those pleas
ures which wealth can bring or will you
struggle on, underpaid and unappreciated,
deprived of simple pleasures or even
actual necessities, suffering all of this for
the sake of some high-strung perhaps
mistaken ideal of service.
But | insist upon it, the point of view
should be one Of duty and of service, and
not one of money and ease.
THE sculptor models in plastic clay, or
carves by sharp incision in the yielding
stone the vision of grace and beauty which
has filled his soul There is one vision,
however, and it stands immobile and i'm
mutable through the ages. The painter
has his colored oils and canvas, and fix
ing there beautiful conception, leaves
1t for generations of men to admire The
teacher deals with a more wonderfully
delicate and receptive material Plastic
young minds can be moulded into nobility
and beauty itself. Truth and honor can
be instiled into the child.
In this hurry to grow rich our young
men go into business or some of the pro-
fessions with the scantiest training with
which they can possibly get along. AS
for education they have none. OF liter
ature languages and history of the world
they know nothing. The future holds
nothing unless it can be turned into dol
lars and cents
