In Memoriam

Melinda Jane Lowell was born the
9th of March, 1884, in Floyd county,
Va, was married to David A. Lowell,
a thire cousin, twenty one years later,
departed this life Thursday, Novem-
ber 16, 1911, 8 p. m. at Landgraff,
w. Va, at the home of her grand
daughter. Mrs. j. w. Atkinson, in
her 10th year. She was stricken with
paralysis of her entire body on Satur-
day morning prior to her death, which
terminated in pleurisy, then pneumo-
MIA. Every thing that three good ply
sicians and loving hands could do was
done, but the Lord said, cit is
enough; come up higher!" Her hus-
band was soldier of the Southern
Confederacy, and died of smallpox at
Richmond, and is sleeping with the
many brave men there who fought so
valiantly for the "Lost Cause" and
who are awaiting the Great Roll Call.
She was left with five children to
raise during that awful war, which
she did with honor. She often said
she was ready and willing to 20 and
be with the Lord, and would soon be
at home where she could rest. Her
passing was peaceful and happy. She
had never connected herself with any
demo mination, but believed that God
had her name written in heaven. Her
belief was in God and in doing the
right
Her body was brought here to her
sons, John Lowell, on Friday and
buried from his home near Liberty
Hill on Saturday at 2 O'Clock, her
last will being gratified, being buried
in the community where she had rear
ed her children. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. R. King,
of Tazewell, assisted by Rev. G. r.
Thomas, of this place.
The children who survive her are
Mrs. Rosa Tate, Bluefeld; Messrs
John and William Lowell, of this
place. Grandchildren from a distnce
were: Miss Nellie Tate,
Northfork Mr.. and Mrs. TIA. Shields
Northfork; Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. At
kinson nd two sons, Landgraff, w.
Va. May they and her oher grand
and great grandchildren meet
her in heaven.
A FRIEND.

SENSE

AS general proposition everybody
has sense. There are different kinds
of sense. There is horse sense. mule
sense, common sense. business sense.
political'sense, book IS ense, practical
sense, etc. etc. and fool-sense. In
some rare instances more than one of
these senses" arc possessed by one
and the same person. There are few
"all-around" men and women i'm
every community, who have the capa-
city of succeeding in moro than one
thing. There are "Jacks-of-all-
trades, of whom it is not always
true to add, "and good at none." The
party we are after here is the unfor-
tunate with fool-sense." With this
individual in our midst few people
have any patience or pity. One can
have no patience with him or her.
They think they know it all. Nor
pity, because their native egotism
and self conceit puts them beyond the
reach of warning, instruction or ad-
vice. There are several Of him, or
them. besides the fool the Bible
speaks of. Here are some of them:
First, the man who thinks he can
fool his wife.
Second, the one who thinks he or
she can lead double life and never
be found out.
Third, the one who thinks il un-
necessary to read books and newspap-
ers.
Fourth, the one who spends more
than Is made.
Fifth, the woman who doesn t know
than an angel can never bc made out
of an animal.
Sixth, the youngstor who oncludes
that father and mother are "bacls
numbers, " and not to be listened to.
Seventh, the man or woman who
ignores or disregards the opinions of
society.
Eighth, the young woman, or man,
who dress beyond their mems and
station in life.
Ninth. the preacher or church wor-
ker who fails to get hold Of the
young people. This list might be ex-
tended, ad infinitum.
There is one character, most of all
perhaps, which tries the patience and
excitcs the wrath and Indignation of
parents, guardians and friends gener-
ally. That is the young woman who
throws herself away on worthless
man In spite of reason, entreaty and
even threats, this silly maiden will
tie herself for life to fellow, with
out money, standing, inluence-a
man beneath her in every way, just
because, as she falsely imagines, she

He may be handy -shanked, bow

difference. The sympathetic little
heart and her little brain, "takes
pity" on him, and away she goes. In
n year or two she tramps back home,
wise and sadder woman, or if not,
she trudges and drudges through life,
a wrecked woman-her family and
friends and she herself ashamed of
herself and her husband. If this is
not "fool-s ense, <" and daned fool
sense at that, what is it? Such oc-
currences are burdening society and
the world every day. But what 8
the use talking? A girl or boy with
nothing but "fool sense" is beyond
reproof and redemption. and this ar
ticle, like all such, is sweetness was.

OLD CRUISERS A PROBLEM
Disposition of Charleston, st.
Louis and Milwaukee PuzZling.
IFrnrn Tho Tribune Bnrea


Washington, Jan. 1.-The naval authori-
ties are greatly perplexed over the disposl-
ton Of the Charleston, the st. Louis and
the Milwaukee which are lying out OF SER
vice at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. The
project of overhaulng them has been under
consideration for some time. Instructions
have now been given to have the vessels
resurveyed and a report made on the
amount Of work necessary to have them
put in an up-to-date condition.
The trouble arises In finding suitable
duty TO which they may be assigned. They
are too slow for use as commerce destroy"
ers in time OF war, since they have speed
of only % knots, whereas most commercial
ships can make q knots. They are also
Asiatic waters or I'm Central and South
America. They lack the armor protection
necessary for use in battle. IL has been
proposed to convert them into scouts. SINH
lar to the Chester the Birmingham and
the Salem, but this could be done only By
installing new machinery and by the In
crease Of the speed by three or four knots.
The alterations would entail much expense,
and il is a question whether there Is enough
work for naval scouts TO do TO justify such
an outlay. They cannot even be used as
station ships at home or abroad, since they
are too large and cumbersome and not ap-
propriately fitted for that duty. The naval
authorities have little hope that the report
regarding the ships will aid them in solving
a troublesome problem.

TURBINES FOR BATTLESHIPS
Navy Department Considering
Them for the Texas.

Washington, Jan. 1.-After having ac-
cepted the proposal Of the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company for the construction
Of the new battleship Texas equipped with
reciprocating engines. the Navy Depart
ment has been obliged to reconsider it's de-
csion as to the motive power Of the ships.
Energetic protests by builders of turbine
engines against what they declare to be
the reactionary and non-progressive policy
OF the constructors and engineers have
troubled the members OF the General Board,
and the department officials have finally
determined TO consider the subject further
before announcing a final decision.
So far the Newport News Company has
not been notified OF any change in the de-
partments plans, but, as months must
elapse before the work OF engine construc-
tion actually begins, there is still time to
change the decision already recorded if it
should be found proper to do so.
Reciprocatng engines were selected for
the Texas and for her sister ship, the New
York, upon the almost unanimous decision
Of the engineer officers Of the Navy De-
paTtment.

SITUATION GRAVE
Views of Expert on Westchester
Problem Made Public.

Albany, Jan. Conditions Of the utn'""
gravity i'm relation to the water supply o..
the various municipalities in the southern
half of Westchester County are disclosed in
the report made to the State Water Sup
ply Commission by Walter McCulloh. con-
sulting engineer. The water famine of last
summer. due largely to a deficiency in rain
fall. created so serious a situation that the
commission instructed Mr. McCulloh to
make an examination with a view of pro.
yidlng a remedy.
The report points out that New York City
is now furnishing Westchester municipali-
ties and water companies with water, al
though il is under no legal obligation 10
do so.
The most practicable sources of exterior
supply are found TO be Popolopen Greek,
on the west side of the Hudson, and some
tributaries OF Peekskill Creek, on the east
side. These sources are cape bic of furnish
ing 100000 gallons of water a day, at an
elevation of $50 feet above tide water. This
would be sufficient, when added to local
supplies, to last until the year 1925. The
report concludes as follows:
For the reasons which have been set forth
above the enactment of a law or laws is
recommended as follows
J. providing for the creation of a metro
pohtan water and sewerage district COM
posed Of all that part OF Westchester Coun-
IL lying south of the towns of New Castle
and North Castle, and conferring on the
State Water Supply Commission power for
the distribution of local sources Of water
supply and directing their development. In
such metropolitan district the individual
municipalities will not lose their identity
z Providing for special election a which
the following questions shall be submitted
TO the voters of said metropolitan water
and sewerage district:
ta) Shall the territory comprising said dis
rict be formed into a metropolitan water
ana sewerage district? And In the event
that question "a" is decided in the affirma-
tive. then
90 Shall the said district spend under
the direction Of the State Water Supply
Commission. $4,000 in making surveys and
preparing maps. plans, specifications and
estimates for additional water supplies. said
maps. plans. specifications and estimates
together with a law providing for an ap-
preparation for construction and fixing the
method Of distribution of costs, to be sub

vestigations as far as possible.
