popular OF scientific subjects,
readings from classes and modern
drama, fiction OF history, depart
ment classes in which those who

other subjects which are parts of
ones every day life.

beautiful rendered selections from
the oldest and tle newest Of the
operas.

County Road Work.

N Kimmell, county road super.
u q recent interview with the
/ capital news, says;
~ have graded s21 miles Of
/ ,,anty road this year. OF this
,nOust 57l miles were graded BY
l Is. ',se,iou engine and rolled BY the
| 'lssp roller, and the remainder by
1 ,oa power. The cost OF the 574
;las has been less than $75 per
;lo The roads we're graded to a
riath Of "a feet, and the trenches
l. either side for drainage averaged
at below the center of the
,,oun Of the road, the purpose
bsipg to make the road as nearly
ar.l q possible. Nearly all wood
4 onIyerts have been replaced by
,.mant and steel, and heightened
t,om II, feet to "a feet in order to
conform to the width of grade and
i heIp to carry the irrigation and
vaste water from encroaching upon
ne road bed proper. The great
s. ahora oe cnIverts are of glazed
tile, syphoned and cemented in a
semi.boW under the road, tending
ID eliminate bumps over the cul-
varts and to secure covering
enough to protect the culverts
them selves. In nearly every in.
stance the culverts have been
placed at right angles through the
road. and the bitches Strengthened
accordingly. Cement heads have
been placed on all culverts as
needed to give protection, and to
enable water to gain sufficient
force to clean the syphons. These
cement heads. have been made on
an average Of six feet in length,
three feet in depth and six inches
thick. On the main road from
Cole school house west to the
county line, alone, so culverts "a
feet in length were laid, an
average of five culverts to the mile
the diameter of the culverts vary
ing from four inches to "a inches.
The average cost of tile from fac
tory to finished work in the
ground, totaled about ST. per foot.
The cost Of the culverts Is feet
long Of wood, have averaged about
ST each. and were durable for only
about three years. Altogether
about 3400 feet of tile and 1900
feet of steel cnl7ert have been laid.
All graded roads have been thor
oughly dragged after each rain,
and are very greatly improved.
The road drags have added very
materially to the placing of the
roads in the good condition they
are assuming, The aim has been
not to waste time securing perfect
grades and beautiful conditions
at once, but to do the work
necessary to better conditions,
and keep working over the same
ground as time warrants and in
the end to secure required results.

to state that the charges that

ing the last school year, and to
say frankly that the charges
reflect upon the student body
and upon the management; and
the Board of Visitors purposes
in a thorough, conscientious
and business way, to investi-
gate the charges fully, and
later, without fear or favor.

GROWING DEMAND
FOR ANTIToxIN.
But Many Local Boards of
Health Have No Supply
for Distribution.

Richmond, Va, Oct. Ell
Diphtheria antitoxin is much
in demand at this time and
large shipments are being made
daily, according to officials of
the State Department of Health.
But large number of local
boards have not yet secured
supplies of this remedy with
which to combat outbreaks of
diphtheria.
Health officials cite statistics
to show that during the last
few weeks, some physicians
and number of boards of
health, in addition to ordering
antitoxin for immediate use.
have purchased large supplies
to be kept on hand for use in
case serious outbreaks or theat-
ened epidemics of diphtheria
appear, These figures are used
to show how generally the ben
ehts of antitoSin are now APP

ular meeting.
On one Friday night the BOYS
are going to meet and have
readings and good old-time de
bates; on the next Friday night
the meeting will consist of re-
ports and discussions of the
principal articles and events OF
the day as found in the maya
zines assigned to the members
upon the program for review.
Believing that the school
should be made social center
we, therefore, wish to extend a
helping hand to other boys, so
boys not in school may be-
come members of this club,
after first being elected by an
unanimous vote of its members.
Necessarily they must be very
cautious here.
Believing that this organiza-
ton has a good mission to per
form, we with one accord say,
All hail and God speed to the
Boys Club.
Prof. Rust, of Coeburn, with
his baseball boys were enter
tanned over Friday night by the
Big Stone Gap High School
team. We were especially glad
to welcome our new rival, and
trust that their very encourag-
ing start may be the means of
holding the team together for
the entire session.
The game between the two
teams was called at 1880. The
score stood . to o in favor of
the home boys.

not used within u fixed time,
can be returned and exchanged

Whenever there is an automobile accident there is a tendency to blame

On the nervous system.
A few of the things the driver Of a machine has to contend with are
rs follows:
/ The nan who walks in front of a machine without looking either
to the right or the left. He jumps when the machine is within a few feet of
him and then the driver eve knows which way he will turn To avoid
