$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
Against N. & VT. E. Ratliff Of
Patrick County Asks That
Amount for the Loss Of a Leg

On Saturday evening notice
was served on President L. e.
Johnson of the Norfolk and
Western of a suit for damages in
the sum of $4,000, alleged to
have been sustained by t. E..
Ratliff, Of Patrick county, who
while employed as brakeman on
December 9, 1909, lost his left
leg at Sands Siding, sixteen
miles east of Williamson, w. Va.
Brakeman Ratliff was run over
by the trucks of an engine and
his left leg was crushed off just
below the knee. The suit was
instituted by Moore & Woodrum
and Hairston, Willis & Hairston,
attorneys of this city, and is re-
turnable to the federal court in
this city for trial at the June
term. The suit is brought
under the federal employers LA
bility act of 1908, and is much
like the Ernest case which was
the first to be tried in the United
States court from Virginia, and
resulted in verdict of $4,000
for the plaintiff. This case was
appealed directly to the supreme
court of the United States for
the purpose of testing the con-
stitutionality of the law, and is
on the docket for a decision at
the present term of the court.
It is thought that decision will
be handed down within short
time. If the validity of the law
is sustained the State courts in
the future will be practically rid
of suits like and of a kindred ma
ture, as the federal statutes are
much more liberal in their con-
struction as to liability of cor
porations for injury to en-
ployees. Roanoke World.

]. E. Hatfield has purchased

agent fine farm on the Trace
fork of Pigeon Greek this county,
consideration about 100000.
A. W. Damron has purchased
one of the best pieces of residen-
tial property in this city, known
as the Nelse Taylor property on
Fifth Avenue, consideration SIS,
10000.
Mr.. Damron used good judg-
ment in the purchasing of this
property as it has always been
considered one Of the finest

the real estate man when you
want to buy property?

The Care Of Children's Teeth.

Il
One of the seasoned scandals
| in the the metropolitan world of
philanthropy scandal that has
had it's duplicate in every town
or city in America is the petu-
liant indifference Of leaders Of
the dental profession toward the
enlightenment of the public in
regard to proper care of the chit-
dren's teeth. 1t is greatly to be
deplored that the millions of dol
lars which have been spent for
educational purposes have not
been more instrumental in en-
couraging the hvgienic instruc-
ton in regard to teeth neglection
of which may eventually cause
widespread diseases.
Unhapplly, thirty-fve per cent
of the childrens teeth come
under my observation in my free
clinic only after irreparable mis-
chief has been done. AS a re-
suit of this socially unpardon-
liable, because entirely unnec-
essary wreckage which is due to
neglect, extraction is found to
be the only remedy. And who is
the, cause of this neglect? In
many cases the little patient is
parentless, or very often the par
ent feels unable to meet dental
bills. In my free clinic for chill
dren every Friday afternoon
from two to six p. M, ! have a
great many more children of
course, than | can possibly at
tend to in that length of time,
but do all that / can in the way
of instruction, and finish the
work of every patient started,
furnishing the very best of ma
terial.
am proud to say that, in most
of our states, provisions have
been made for work of this kind,
but regret that West Virginia
has taken no steps to that effect.
However, one cannot expect
great improvements until the
members of the dental profes-
sion form free clenics for chill
dren and show their urgent ne
cessity, for public opinion is de-
veloping a hardy appetite for
facts and corresponding deter
mination to put them to good use
once their meaning is quite clear.
lam glad to see that DR.. Mccoy, of
Matewan, w. Va, has shown in
terest in this subject by previ-
ously publishing an articlein the
Enterprise. The chief retard-
ing influence upon the progress
in West Virginia and other
states lacking proper dental pro-
visions is the ignorance of the
truth on the part of the masses,
ESPECIALLY those who suffer,
which can be attributed to the
majority of dentists toward this
great work. How to impart facts
to the people SO that they may
contribute to their own enlight-
eminent should be the increasing
concern of every member of the
dental profession.
If the ethical, charitable phil.
anthropic spirit of the profession
were once thoroughly awakened
by dentists working for free
clenics and dental examinations
in public schools. | feel confident
that there would be no trouble in
getting the state to come up with
| its part, and sincerely hope that
this long dreamed of practicable
possibility will in the near future
become a strenuous reality.
