DAMAGES AWARDED.

A jury in circuit court at Hunt
ington awarded j. A. Castle $3.50
for an automobile which had been
smashed by a Baltimore and Ohio
train. Castle said he paid $3.50 for
the car, and sold the remains for
$115. The jury awarded him the
difference which was the amount
of damages claimed.
Evidence in the case tended to
show that a Baltimore and Ohio
train might have been stopped in
time to have prevented the acci-
dent. Castle said he was driv-
ing toward the Twelfth street cross
ing, July 29, 1912, when the train
approached. 1t was two squares
away when noticed by Mrs. Castle.
After mounting slight grade that
approaches the Twelfth-st crossing
the Castle car stopped squarely a
cross the track and could not be
moved. 1t was hurriedly abandon
ed by the occupants. and few min
utes later smashed by the train.
which was brought to stop a
square beyond.

TWO BITTEN BY DOGS.

On Tuesday afternoon of last
week r. T. the little SON OF Mr..
and Mrs. L. s. johnson, was Bit
ten on both cheeks by dog with
which 1t was playing. The animal
evidently had taken the child's face
into its mouth, as the wounds made
we're directly opposite each other.
They bled profusely. It is thought
that the child must have pulled the.
dogs tail or hurt 1t in some way,
as the animal had always manifest
ed much affection for him and had
never shown any signs OF being vic
ious. No serious consequences are
apprehended. DR., Wroten was sent
for and dressed the wounds.
On Saturday last Arnold, the o.
year-old SON of Arbie Wilson. was
attacked and severely bitten by
bloodhound. The dog was kept
for nonresident owner. and had
been chained up in a building not
far from the, Wilson home. On the
occasion referred to 1t had been
taken out and chained to a near
by well. While there Mrs. Wilson
and her little son passed near it,
when the dog sprang upon it, bit
ing the child's upper lip entirely
through from the nostril to the
edge. The father. who happened t.
be at home at the time. ran Out
when he heard the child's screams
and learning the cause, ran back In
to the house and got a revolver and
shot the brute, killing It Instantly
DR.. Bromley dressed the wound, and
the boy seems to be all right.

T00K HIS own LIFE.
Vim. Dinguss,LaWTence County Citizen
Of Good Reputation, Suicides by
Hanging.

J.. d w.
This community was startled on
Monday morning last by the news
that William Dinguss,a prominent
citizen and farmer OF the Blaine
neighborhood had committed suicide
by hanging. Doubts were expressed
as to the correctness OF the, intel
ligence, but inquiry only served to
verify the report. Dinguss lived on
what is known as the Pawpaw
branch OF Blaine creek, about mile
below the town. He was a well to
do farmer. and 1t was in one OF his
barns, near the house, that the rash
act which ended his life was COM
mitted. He went out at an early
hour to feed some stock, and fall
ing TO return in reasonable time
some of his family went to see what
was the matter, and found him
hanging by the neck, dead. At this
hour nothing definite can be learn
ed as to the probable cause of the
rash act. Considerable is said about
unpleasant family affairs. These
troubles may have preyed upon his
mind and so affected 1t us to cause
the unfortunate man ito shuttle off
this mortal COLL" TO end his earthly
ills by flying to others he knew
not Of" A year or so ago mar
ried daughter named Rice, living
in Ohio. committed suicide. and it
II possible that there is a streak
OF insanity in the family. liable to
crop out at any time, urging to
self-destruction.
Dinguss came to This section about
80 years ago from West Virginia,
1t is said. He worked at various
Jobs In the neighborhood. He was
industrious, sober and frugal, and
in time married daughter OF Dr.
Ferguson. He left a widow and had
raised six children, all girls, all
grown and all married but one. MI
Dinguss was buried with the honors
Of Masonry. He was about 55 years
old.

Clinchfield & Ohio road the distance
OF 242 miles over which II now lies.
1T has almost twoscore tunnels, fills
running in length to half mile and
in height to 1856 feet, with cuts
equaling the fills in length and
depth.
Nor would all this work be re-
markable but for the fact that
throughout the entire length of the
road the maximum grade against
southbound traffic was not allowed
to exceed one-half OF ! per cent,
and that against northbound was
allowed to go but little over it. Few
curves run over per cent, though
some reach 8 per cent, and all are
compensated, SO that a high rate
of speed can be maintained in run
ming over them.
= The construction OF the road it.
self was in keeping with the maxi
ing OF the grade. The steel used was
IS pounds to the yard. ties were
laid IS to the rail, and the track
rock-ballasted to depth OF seven
teen inches. The result IS road
over which an immense freight can
be carried with minimum OF mo-
tive power, and which can be main
tanned In first-class condition at
small cost
The Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio
Railway was built primarily as a
coal-carrying road. with the object
to furnish fuel from the mines Of
Southwest Virginia to the cotton
mills and other industrial plants In
the Carolinas and other States to
the south. This object has been
attained, and during the last year,
i 100000 tons of coal was hauled
over the road to various Southern
points. This year 1t is stated the
coal tonnage will reach 1000, 900
tons. But the restless spirit of the
men who planned and built the road
could not be content with a line
that ends against a mountain side,
where there is no hope OF traffic
other than that which originates In
the mines. and so plans were laid
and put into execution to secure an
outlet for the road into the broad
fields OF the Middle West, into the
nations granary. the section whence
must come large portion Of the
country's commerce.
To reach this great producing and
consuming section 1t was necessary
to extend the Clinchfield road 35
miles ffom Dante TO this point.

T.J. Coates, Instructor.


The Lawrence County Teachers
Institute will be held in Louisa DUR
ing the week beginning July 14th,'
1918. 1t will be conducted by one

ed the Lawrence institute on form
er occasions, and it was the almost
unanimous opinion Of all both
teachers and visitors, that; he Was
one OF the very best conductors ever
heard in this city. Prof Coates
lives. apparently, only for the good
of the teachers and the pupils OF
the public schools. Those WHO have
listened to him and seen the dis
play of admirably directed zeal
while in the institute and In the
field are prepared to believe this
statement. He is a strong believer
in the Boys Corn Club as a means
of improvement Corn Clubs and
Good Roads. He may be called the. .
father Of the movement In Law
renee county, and in order that
his child" should not be a bur
den upon the county he will teach
the coming institute free OF per-
sonal charge, donating what would
have been paid to him as institute
fees to defray the cost of provid-
ing supervisor for the county
club. This will leave only a small
balance to be paid from other sour
ces, and not one cent Of this bal-c
ance, or any part of the expense in
Cured in paying the supervisor is
taken from the pay of the teacher.
The place OF holding the institute
will be announced later.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT
Exhibited BY a Few Of Our Citizens in
Road Matters.

The flood of few weeks ago
washed from its piers the iron
bridge near the mouth of Little Gait
creek in this county. Several good
citizens. of the neighborhood got to-
gether and put the bridge back in
place and 1t is now in good condi-
tion. This cost the county nothing
except the use of block and tackle
The citizens who did this work were
". B. Shortridge. j. w. Woods, jeff
Collinsworth and others.
This is the spirit that needs to
get into all of ourN citizens. If a
broad public spirit permeated the
citizenship of our entire county we
would have good roads and bridges
and many other good things even
with the lack of funds that now
hampers us. We are retarded by
the selfish spirit which makes us
unwilling to stop a mudhole on the
public road because it might help
our neighbors without costing them
anything Roads are permitted to
become almost impossible right in
front of the residences of many OF
our citizens because they are un-
willing to give a little time and
labor to public service, even though
it may be at their very doors, where
their own pride and interest is at
stake.
Let's take broader view of our
duty to our community and county
and give something to the botter-
ment of conditions. The roads ad-
jacent to our property offer the
best opportunity possible to every
good citizen.
The amount of money raised by
taxation in the counties of Eastern
Kentucky for building and maintain
ing roads is so inadequate to the
needs that we can not hope for any
marked results through these means
An aroused public spirit and a, pull
all together is the only thing that
will bring good roads. If every citi-I
zen will do little more work on
the roads than the law requires of
him we can have good dirt roads In
side Of two years.
