@. w. MAY.

About the time the sun in all his glory
was making his appearance at the little
town of Hamlin, Saturday, April 20,
1903, the spirit of Attorney General
Clark w. May took its flight His
death came unexpectedly to his host of
friends throughout the State The At
torney General was not quite 40 years of
age and only few days ago he was in
the vigor of health, with bright pros
poets for long life of usefulness and
honor before him.
MIR. May had been suffering for the
past ten days with a compound fracture
of the leg, occasioned by jumping from a
buggy during runaway, while driving
from West Hamlin to Hamlin.
While coming down a hill near Ham
lin, the buggy having no brake, ran up
ON the horses and they began running
away. General May jumped from the
buggy, alighting on his left foot, an d
his weight, together with the force oc-
casioned by the running of the horses.
caused the breaking of his leg just above
the ankle, both bones being broken and
the foot almost torn from the leg. He
was taken to Hamlin and physicians from
Charleston, Huntington and the local
physicians did all that could be done for
the injured man. They decided on Fri.
day evening that an amputation was
necessary in order to save the patient 5
life. Mr.. May rallied very nicely from
the operation, and the relatives and
friends were greatly encouraged, but
about five O'Clock Saturday morning he
sank into stupOr, in which condition
he remained until the end came at six
thirty.
General May entered politics in 1896.
when he was elected Prosecuting Attor-
ney of Lincoln county. After serv ing
four years in this capacity he was nom
mated and elected State Senator from
the district comprised of Lincoln, Logan,
Mingo, Mcdowell, Mercer and Raleig h
counties.
In 1904 he was again honored by his
party by being nominated for the office
OF Attorney General, to which position
he was elected by large majority.

The President SIGNS The LiabIlItu
Law.


President Roosevelt las signed
the employees liability bill upon
receiving an opinion from Attorney
General Bonapar,e that the meas
ure was constitutional. The bill
makes railro ads or other common
carriers while engaged in interstate
commerce liable for the injury or
death of An employe if the injury or
death results, in whole or in part
from the negligence of any of the
officers, agents or employees of such
carriers or by reason of any defect
or insufficieDcy in equipment.
1t is provided that In any action
brought under the provisions of the
bill the injured employe shall not
be held to have assumed the risk OF
his employment IN any case where
the violation by the carrier of any
statute enacted for the safety of en-
ployes contributed to the injury or
death of the employee. Any con-
tract, rule, regulation or device to
enable the carrier to exempt itself
from liability under the act is rem
dered void by specific declaration
to that end.
Provision is made, however.
that the carrier shall receive credit
for any contribution made to tn,
employe "r his family in the form
OF insurance relief benefit or in.
demnity. An action for the recov.
cry of damages must be commenced
within two years from the date of
the cause of the suit.
In his opinion, the Attorney
General indicates that a bill IL con
fined In its scope to Common car.
riers by railroads, as distinguished
from the act declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme Court, which
embraced all common carriers en-
gagged In inter state commerce and
foreign commerce.

Flood Control In a River Of Bohemia.

ssOOu OOtst W III v thbOi VI OOttOtl1tOs
In view of the conference of
Governors at the White House,
next month. on natural resources
and waterways, , report which
United States Coneul Charles B.
Harris, of Reichenberg, Bohemia,
has just made, 10 of timely inter.
est. 1t relates to successful meth
ods of preventing destructive
floods on the river Gorlitz- Neisse.
The desired result has bsen &C.
complished by a combination Of
forestry and storage reservoirs for
storm water. In view of the fact
that similar methods are being
considered in this country-par-
ticularly in the Appalachian reg
lon-the matter is of more than
ordinary interest at this time and
particularly 30 because the White
House conference Is expected to
take up the same question.
Formerly the floods of the Cor
litz-Nelsse were very destructive.
Heavy rains poured upon the
mountain and the valleys were
quickly inundated. Protective
measures began by utilizing for.
ests to the greatest extent practi-
cable. and this was supplemented
by six storage reservoirs 10 catch
the excess run off in time of storm
The entire cost of the dams was
little more than double the amount
of damage caused by the single
Hood of 1897. One of the princi-
pal functions of the forest cover,
aside from It's own capacity for
storing water, is to check the wash.
ing OF the soil, and thereby pre-
vent the filling Of the storage res
ervOlrs with silt.
Since the dams were completed
the floods have been controlled.
The impounded water furnishes
abundant water power for manu-
featuring plants in the valley, and
the income from that source will
go far toward meeting the cost and
expenses.
Plans very similar have been
discussed in this country for the
control of floods, particularly in
the Mississippi and the Ohio, by
protecting the forests on the head
streams and by the construction
of reservoirs. 1t is expected such
plans Will be materially forward
ed at the White House Confer
ence.
