dents who make the highest average
month by month. OF course. ii is
well understood that the students
who do rank highest are those who
follow school work as business.
They devote their time and energy
to study and school duties. They are
industrious, thorough. and painstak-
ing in the matter of preparing their
lessons. They know the value of ap-
plication to daily tasks and of deyo-
tion to duty. They understand that
rank and work go hand in hand.
Frivolity, indifference. careless
ness and laziness are enemies of
school work as well as of other kinds
of work. The degree in which a stu
dent INDUCES in one or more of them
determines whether he shall be a
mediocre student or whether he
shall be a failure in his work. To
trifle with either is an expensive
thing. We all like to think of the
future and see ourselves 20 years
hence, but TO see ourselves a score
of years from today needs no great
stretch of Imagination. We can look
around US today and see the beggars,
the broken lives, the failures and the
successful men and women of 30
years from today. What a student
of our high school is today and the
attitude he takes toward his work
and the things around him are plain
Indicators OF his future.

DEATH OF MRS. CLARK.

Mrs. Daisy Westlake Clark, whose
following the birth of q stillborn
child was noted in this paper last
week, died about 1900 p. m. Thurs
day last. She was buried In the
Fulkerson cemetery on Friday after
noon. Funeral services were held
at her late residence, conducted by
Revs. c. b. Plummer. of the Meth
odist Church, and l.. M. Copley, who
preached very appropriate sermon,
addressed mainly to the living. The
funeral was very largely attended.
Mrs. Clark was 43 years old and
was born In this city. She was the
daughter OF Lydia and the late
Lewis Atkins. She was married
twice, and Is survived by her sec
ond husband. william Clark. Her
first husband was q. r. Westlake,
by whom she had soc. Ernest
Westlake, who operates the linotype

WIN A GOLD MEDAL.

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages OF 10 and
10 who writes the best composition,
not to exceed SOC words, on the
repair and maintenance Of earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, Office of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, ID.
C. All compositions must be submit
ted to Mr.. Page before May 10, '13,
and the medal will be awarded as
soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded. The compositions
may be based on knowledge gained
from books or other sources, but no
quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
tion of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of road
is as much the cause of their bad
conditions as any other one factor.
1t Is expected that the competition
will bring about a better under
standing of the subject of repair
and maintenance In the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the rur-
al districts have experienced the
disadvantages of roads made impas-
sable through lack OF proper
maintenance and it is expected that
their interest in the competition
will stimulate greater interest among
the parents. Bad roads have pre-
vented many children from obtain
ing proper education and have
even prevented doctors from reach
ing the side OF rural patients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages mem
toned. attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each
page should be numbered; the name
age, and address of the writer, and
the name and location of the school
which he or she is attending must
oe plainly written at the top of the
first page. The announcement of the
competition has been sent to the SUI
perintendents of schools In the rur-
al districts. No further information
can be obtained from the Office of
Public Roads. This announcement
should be plain to everyone, and
all children will thus start on a ba-
sis of equality.

Died of spinal Meningitis.

The NEWS last week noted the
illness of John, the son of Richard
Skaggs, of this city, saying that
there was but little hope Of his re-
covery. The young man died Thurs
day night of spinal meningitis, one
of the most deadly diseases known
to physicians. Early on Friday morn
ing the body was taken to Terry
Vile, near the Johnson county line,
and buried in the Skaggs burying
ground. The unfortunate young man
had been at work in Portsmouth,
where the malady is said to be ep-
idemic, and when he came to Lou
lisa on the N. and w. train Tues
day night the evidences of cerebro
spinal meningitis were so many and
so decided that the physicians who
saw him and those who had de-
scription of the case had but lit
tie, II any, doubt concerning the ma
ture of the disordefs DIR. Bromley,
lwho attended the case, had .-the
house where the boy died fumigated
and took all possible precautions to
prevent the spread of the disease.
Spinal meningitis Is highly in
~S>s%0ec tAoO0oC unQ ~ ID apt " D6-
come epidemic. but 1t is also spora-
die, or occurring here and there,
singly. But in any form the death
rate is very high. OF course, where
1t RACES as an epidemic, the disease
seems to assume a more virulent
| form.
That the sporadic or single cases
kill Is shown by the fact that a
death resulted at Charley, this coun-
ty. last week from the disorder. The
victim was child Of @. c. (Lum)
Bowling, of Georges creek. Physi-
clans who attended the case say it
was decidedly one of spinal menin-
gifts.
1t is not within the province OF
newspaper to say much, If any
thing, of the medical treatment OF
any disease. but 1t surely is its du-
Ity to urge the public to clean up
and to keep cleaned up. Admitting
the possibility of the spread of any
infection it Is well to lessen that
possibility as much as possible. Per-
Jsonal and habitation cleanliness, the
use Of lime, copperas, soap and wat
er are to be urged upon all. They
are all cheap, all available, and they
are all antagonistic to disease.

THE MARTINS WE'RE NOT LOST.

During the recent flood Jas. Nc
Guire, of Two Mile, received the
news that two relatives, John and
james Martin, whom he had reared
from childhood, had, with their fam
lilies. been drowned at Hamilton, o.,
where they lived. The report of
their death was not true, although
1t seemed well founded. The two
men and their families were saved,
but their escape from watery graves
was marrow and thrilling. When
Hamilton became inundated James
Martin and his family walked two
miles to a little town called Tren-
ton. where they found refuge in a
church. Here they were cut off from
the rest of the world and for three
days and nights were without food
and water but were finally rescued

like to refer TO 1t briefly. During
the heavy rain Of Wednesday night,
March 26th, the Elkhorn Dam, re-

test. A. the time the Dam was de-
signed our Engineers sought the ad-
vice of Government engineers, and
the design is in excess of their rec
commended dimensions for weight
and thickness. On the night In ques-
ton, the waters rose so rapidly that
the spillway of the Dam was unable
to take care of the flow, and the
water spread over the entire crest
OF the Dam to the depth Of possibly
six inches. The Dam itself showed
no effect of the strain whatever,an
the water was we'll confined below
the Dam. until the flow Joined the
waters of the 30 called big Elk

Convicted In The Federal Court.


The recent trial and conviction Of
a bankrupt in the Federal Court at
;Covington, KY, carries with 1t a
warning to others who may be in
clined to defraud their creditors in
q similar manner. May & Whittak-
er were merchants doing business at
'Riceville, Johnson-co., and became
bankrupt. Whitaker turned over all
his possessions to thu referee, but
1t was suspected and afterwards
proven in the Federal Court that
May had hidden and disposed OF
much of his property which of right
belonged to his creditors. They took
the matter into the court, with the
result that May was indicted, tried
and found guilty in four cases for
.concealing his goods and making
false statements to the referee The
punishment is confinement in q
Federal prison.
