CowARDLY ASSAULT.

A few nights ago as the young
colored man who was then porter fl
the Hotel Savoy was going across
the bridge to meet the midnight N
& w. train he was seized by party
of toughs who patrol the bridge,
who tried to throw him into the
river. He grabbed one by the leg
and held on and yelled for help
until he succeeded in freeing him
self from their clutches, not, how
ever, until he was beaten and kick
ed on the head. The porter knows
but few of the night providers OF
the city. hence he is unable to de-
scribe his assailants. A well known
business man of Louisa whose journ-
eys compel him to cross the river at
night. declares it to be dangerous

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.


So great have been the exagger-
ations concerning h
amount of money the State would
be called upon to pay in Confed-
crates pensions that Governor Nj
Creary says that the Taxpayers
and people of the State should know
the truth. There have been but
212 applications for pensions tc
reach the pension board so far, and
If every one of them is passed upon
fayorably it would take only $S5
900 to pay them.
The Confederate pension depart.
ment of Kentucky has made a rulin:
that no veteran is entitled to pen.
sion who has children to support
him. A number of applications
have been rejected on this account
and a rigid examination will be
made of all the applications now
pending to ascertain whether tbs
applicants are actually in need Of
assistance from the State.
No Confederate pensions will be
paid out of the State treasury un'
til after the fifth of November next.

With Consumption Should Not Apply
for Places in Schools.

The best informed medical men of
the day are unanimous in the opin-
ion that tuberculosis of the lungs,
or, to put it in palmer terms, con-
sumption, is an infectious disease.
This being true it is the bounden
duty of everyone afflicted with the
disease, in any stage, to take all
possible means to avoid spreading
the dreadful malady. Boards Of
health, municipalities and other
bodies are doing their utmost to
lessen the spread of the disorder
and to stamp it out where it already
has found footing. These COM
mendable efforts can be greatly as
sisted by individual action, and
those who have the care and con-
duct of schools can do much along
, the line of prevention. Foremost in
this direction stands the action OF
/ the teachers theselves. The NEW ;
takes the broad position that no
school teacher with tubercular
trouble, even incipient, should offer
for place in the school if he has
good reason to know or even to be-
lieve that he has consumption oil
the lungs. and the NEWS will go
further and say that If teachec
discovers that he has the malady It
is his duty to resign his place, and
| If he fails to do it he should be re-
moved for cause. This is said with
out the knowledge that any teacher
in any school in this county has
tuberculosis. The News, as a friend
of the schools and of teacher and
pupil alike, lays down the broad
principle thai the health of the pn-
pill is paramount, and that no ques-
tion of mere expediency should be
considered when such vital issues
as the health and welfare of the
community and the well being OF
the pupils generally are to be con-
sidered. In some States applicants
for teachers certificate must pre-
sent physicians certificate show
ing that the holder is free from
tubercular trouble, School officers
and teachers should consider this
question and act for the good of all
concerned

they planned and contaminated the
very pleasant affair. Nothing was
left for the delighted victims OF
their designs to do. except to ex-
press as best they could, their
pleasure at the invasion. Each
member of the board of visitors"
came with something of worth and
beauty as a mark of affectionate re-
gard. The self constituted guests
had gone SO far as to prepare the
delicious refreshment, which was
provided in rich abundance and con-
sumed in generous amounts. Vocal
and instrumental music was furnish
ed by guests and the hostess Mr.
Wallace asked to be excused from
singing, for the reason that the
front gate had been left open the
night before and he had caught ?
case of hay fever, otherwise he
would be glad to warble few
stanzas. The party excused him
hastily and with thanks. 1t was a
very pleasant occasion. and the

years and assist in the celebration

AN UNUSUAL DEATH.

A most unusual death occurred ut
our cemetery here on last Friday,
the victim being Ruth coburn, three
years old.
The child was playing in the cem-
eterSN and amused herself by walk
ing around the pedestal that support
ed a marble shaft four feet high. FL
nally she attempted to climb the
shaft, and although it weighed more
than $50 pounds, and rested square
ly on the pedestal, her childish
strength was sufficient to topple it
over. Its weight crushed her chest.
The child's father was within few
feet OF her when the accident hap

no unusual sight to soc these old ton

RESULTS AT GREENE
CANANEA PROPERTY

Greene Cananea at the present time
ts turning out approximately 100000
pounds OF copper per annum. Production,
however. should steadily increase month
by month. and 1t Is not unreasonable to
expect that IN 1913 the output should
reach 6o.o0o,ooo pounds, say Thompson,
ToWle & Co.
Greene has not been able to maintain
the low figure of around cents which
1t had attained some months back We
understand that costs at the present time
are higher as result OF the construction
work. which is now going on at the prop
erty. and is approximately the same as
that obtained during 1911. During that
year the total cost. credlting gold and
silver values and miscellaneous revenues
was Dos cents and with construction 9.S
cents per pound. However. this extraor-
dinary construction work, which is now
In progress, namely the installation OF
Great Falls convcrters, additional blowing
engines, etc, Will soon be completed and
Greene's cost should again decrease. and
reach the figures previously attained.
II appears safe to figure Greene. when
working at normal capacity. as at least
d cent producer. On 100000 900 pounds
present metal market and
Q cent cost Greene Cananea should show
earnings Of $2 per share. The future
for the company Is indeed bright, and
In 1913. with its increased production
Greene Cananea should make an excel
lent record.
