A CARD

The article published in last weeks
issue of the Covington News, entitled,
A Slap in the Face, would convey the
impression that the present incumbent
was the first man elected to fill the
position of principal of the Covington
Public School. The local board of
trustees, as well as the patrons, tax
payers, Mothers Club, and in fact
everyone interested in the upbuilding
of the school, knows better; we have
had men in this capacity before and
as it is considered best to have man
principal for our public school, let us
have one who meets all requirements,
not only in an educational way, but
also in culture, refinement and tact.
1t was not through jealousy, but be-
above mentioned, that "kick" was
made, and the president of the Mothers
Club not only read the petition when
brought to her notice but signed it as
every mother and patron of the school
should. A town like Covington should
have cool public school and an eff
Gent principal, and every parent inter-
ested in the educational welfare OF
their children have right to demand
this. A petition cannot be construed
as an insult and none was intended to
the board of trustees. Mothers and
patrons do not nominate or vote for a
principal, a petition, therefore is their
only recourse. The petition in ques-
ton was not gotten up by the superin-
tendent, but by request of the patrons
of the Public School.

OPERATION SAVES
PLAYER'5 tt R0AT
Charles Cannon, of Ohio, Under
Obligation to Physician
Formerly Of Richmond.

Physicians here have been much in
unusual operation performed at Hunt
ington. w. Va, by n young doctor, who
was formerly Richmond hoy. The
c.lse was that of Charles Cannon, of
Ironton, Ohio, a baseball player of
more than local fame, who, while play
ing a game near the end of last sea-
son. was struck in the throat by n
pitched ball resulting in the entire
loss of his voice. fronton doctors re-
garded the loss of speech as final and
were greatly surprised when later the
young man received a severe fall. the
jar of which for a time restored the
power of speech, his voice leaving him
again in a few days as suddenly as 1t
had returned.
Cannon went to Huntington and was
examined by DIR. MCGUIRE. who found
that his trachet had been broken by
the blow of the baseball. and had since
been for the greater part of the time
out of place.
DIR. Mcguire set the organs of the
throat which had fallen. and for some
time young Cannon enjoyed the use OF
his voice until few weeks since
when Jolt from a street car again
dislocated the delicate throat organs
and destroyed the power of speech. DIR
MCGUIRE decided that nothing further
could be done without an operation
and called in DR.. Charles NJ Hawes. u
young surgeon and throat specialist
formerly of Richmond. The two physi-
clans performed an operation rarely at
tempted and with signal success IN
| this instance. Dr. Halves after opening
| the throat, sewed in place the broken
trachet, so that 1t will support the
larynx. The young man has now en-
tirely recovered from the operation
and 1t is thought will have the per-
| manent use of his voice.
Both DR.. Mcguire and DR.. Halves are
| graduates of the University of Virginia
and arc being generally congratulated
| on the success of an unusual operation

Here and There in the legislature

The bill aimed by Judge Mann in
the Senate at the fake social clubs has
been passed upon favorably by the
committee, and viii probably come up
for action on the floor some time this
week.
The measure prescribes conditions
with which only bona iide social or
PLANTATIONS can comply. and one clause
to which even the latter are making
serious objection. 1t requires the club
or corporation applying for license
to sell liquor 10 give bond for $4,000.
The club must have been in existence.
with membership of not less than
thirty resident members. for year
prior to the application for license.
and must have had as many as three
rooms open continuously during this
period for the entertainment of mem
bcrs and their guests.
The bill was drawn up by the attop-
neys for several of the legitimate So
cial clubs, and was accepted by Judge
Mann, with one amendment, which pro-
hibits the sale of liquor on election
days and Sundays. This amendment
reads as follows.
s.NOr shall sud corporation or club
sell, dispense or distribute wines, ar
dent spirits, malt liquors, or any mix
turc thereof, alcoholic liquors, or any
mixture thereof, DltteTs CONTAINING ~.
cohol or fruits preserved In alcohol, on
Sundays or election days"
There are many other conditions In
the bill which make 1t practically Inn
possible for the fake organizations to
/ obtain a license. The amendment add
ed by Judge Mann affecting the sale
of liquor on Sunday is opposed by the
bona flde clubs, which strongly object
to being placed on the plane of ordi-
nary saloons.
\ Mr.. E. c. Watson, of Roanoke. past
exalted ruler of the Elks of that city
Is In Richmond. and appeared before
the Finance Committee in opposition tt
this amendment, Mr.. Watson believe.
there is good prospect of defeating
the bill on the floor. He says that the
Mann bill will kill both fake clubs ant
legitimate clubs at the same time, ant
declares that the bill offered by TIL,
attorneys for the clubs, without Judg,
Nann's amendment, would accomplish
the desired purpose
