Public School Closes at Riverside.

The public school at Riverside
Bald Mountain township, which
has been SO successfully taught
by Mr.. Carle Byers, closed with
appropriate exercises on Friday
and Friday night. The program
of the day consisted chiefly OF
brief addresses by w. N. Howell,
p. 2. Moretz, IT. Nj. Moretz, and,
reaching the climax, when Prof.
Vance G. Howell, graduate of the
Appalachian Training School, de-
liveren q high-toned address on
the subject of Education" The
young scholar is the Oldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Howell of
Brookslde, N. c., and his many
friends are confidently expecting
ere long to see him scaling high
the ladder of fame.
The exercises at night consist
ed OF declamations, recitations
and dialogues by the students,
which were very entertaining and
interesting to all.
A number of comic speeches
and sermons were delivered, eau
sed la lighter among the large
number OF persons present.
The patrons of the scho oil speak
of the worthy teacher, Mr.. By
ers, in the highest terms, and
would unhesitatingly recommend
him to any school district desir-
ing the services of a capable, en-
ergetic and faithful teacher.

Pneumonia Season at Hand.

"PneumOnia as q cause of death
is about a tOpnOtcher," says the
State Board OF Health, as it
ranks third and is outclassed on
ly by tuberculosis and organic
diseases. 1t is a seasonal disease
and we are now in the midst OF
that season. During the winter
and early spring season pneumo-
MIA is greatly on the increase and
causes about ten per cent of all
deaths.
zone of the most predisposing
causes OF pneumonia is the pres
ence ofOther diseases, especially
those diseases producing a debil-
itating effect. Such diseases may
be mentioned as colds, grippe,
bronchitis and other respiratory
diseases. Debility developing
from any cause increases suscep-
tlbility therefore it is all impor-
tant that all functions of the bo-
dy be kept in good working or
der and that resistance be kept
as high as possible.
Resistance is lowered by ov-
creating, lack of exercise, lack of
fresh air to live, sleep and work
in, lack of regular sleep and re-
Taxation, and irregular living
habits. EXcesses of all kinds de-
crease resistance and predispose
to pneumonia. Alcoholics been
called by the United States Pub
lie Health Service "the handmai-
den of pneumonia"
"It is a we'll established fact
that pneumonia is a germ dis
ease. People sick with pneumo-
MIA should not be visited for two
reasons: Their chances for re-
covering will be better without
visitors. and the chances for the
spread OF the disease will be re-
duced."

Three Boys in the Tolls.

Three .boys-aged 8, 10 and
II years-were before Judge
Shaw in Buncombe Superior
court at Asheville this week for
store breaking and larceny. The
10-year-old was sent home with
his father and the others were
sent to the jackson Training
School at Concord. In admonish-
ing the boys, Judge Shaw declar-
ed that "lmprOper conditions in
the home and laXity OF home
training is the cause of these ba-
bies being in court. When | was
a boy, a good thrashing would
have been given, and it usually
proved a cure" Right, Judge
Shaw, but rather out of date.
We don't hear much of h a t
old-time thrashing being done by
parents these days and when it
is attempted in the next best
place-the school-the teacher is
hailed into courtand it costs him
a few months salary before it is

hen the future historian shal
come to survey the character oi
Lee, he will find it rising like Il
huge mountain above the undu-
lating plain of humanity, and he
must raise his eyes high toward
heaven to catch it's sum NIT.
He possessed every virtue OF
other great commanders without
their vices. He was a foe with
out hate; a friend without trea-
cherry; a soldier without cruelty;
a victor without oppression, and
a victim Notwithstanding He
was a public officer without vi
ces; a private citizen without
wrong; a neighbor without re-
proach; a Christian without hy-
pocrisy, and q man without
guile. He was Caesar without his
ambition; Frederick without his
tyranny; Napoleon without his
selfishness; and Washington with
out his reward.
He was obedient to authority
as a servant, and royal IN au-
thority as a true king. He was
gentle as a woman III life; mod
est and pure as a virgin in
thought; watchful as Roman
vestal in duty; submissive to law
as Socrates, and grand in bat
tie as Achilles!-Benjamin Hill.

him about the federal woman suf,

reported to have surrounded the
white house with pickets to an

every ingress and egress he makes
from the building in which he
makes his home, are doing their
professed cause the greatest dis
service that can well be conceiv-
ed. OF course, the public knows

over-scrupulous members of the

the United States, but tits some
times difficult to dlsassociate a

conduct of the alleged advocates.
The American people as a whole
will resent the ugly picture pre-
sented in the press dispatches OF
their president being systemati-
cally and wantonly annoyed in
the privacy OF his Official home,
especially in view of the great
cares and anXieties crowded up
on him. affecting the nations
most vital interests, to which it
is of the last Importance that he
give his attention with as little
distraction by other and lesser
matters as practicable. And nat

of oppressed manhood will min.
gle with the voice of God. There
will be a "place in the sun" for
every nation and the liberty
which is the inherent birthright
birthright of every man will not
be at the disposal of designing
m o arc h s whose ambitions
would run wild. A victory for the
entente powers would mean a tri-
umph of liberty over a "kuItur"
of blood and iron. SO, then, why
should we give heed to the plea
of the pacifist who cries peace
when peace would mean disaster?
Should the world by a complete
surrender to a false sentiment,
invite the sway OF that principle
which laid Liege in ruins and car
ried.Belgium into slavery? Should
we, while on our knees before the
false ideal, invite brutal tinality
rather than inspiring initiative?
And, after all, how, when or
where peace shall come Is none of
our business until the great is
sues for which the allies are sac
rifcing lives and millions shall be
settled for all time. For it was
the people OF Russia, France and
Italy that assumed the burden
OF war, that took up it's respon-
sibilities, and upon them only
should the final outcome rest.
We believe that right must even
tually prevail, for God is not
Knocked. The Divine right which
the kaiser OF Germany would
take unto himself, lies in the
heart of the great democracy Of
the earth, and through it only
shall it be exemplitied,
