CONSUMPTION.


American has been accustomed to
associate the word CONSUMPTION
with the term, tyranny When,
ever this word was uttered it I'M
mediately conjured before his
mind visions of the Civil War
draft riots and of oppression in
various European countries. 1t
had come, in fact, to be amongst
us a hateful and a hated term.
When the shadows Of war began
to lengthen and threatened to cast
the eclipse even unto our own
shores there was great talk, vail
ant talk, patriotic talk of calling
for volunteers. Wiser heads, how
lever, were convinced, as facts
have so shown, that at the call of
Father Abraham the volunteers
would scarcely come marching
zone hundred thousand strong
Experience and mature Judgment
convinced our official leaders that
a volunteer system in conditions
such as the present must Of neces-
sity prove ineffective. The only
alternative was the law, Of con-
scription which will now be ex-.
tended to all parts of the country.
To man thoroughly imbued
with-the genuine democratic ideal
it must seem that the administra-
ton has acted in a perfectly fair
and noble manner before the
country. The welfare of the ma
tion-of the people at large as
well as Of the individual depends
upon our leaders who, in virtue
of their office, bear upon their
shoulders the responsibility for
our protection. 1t is perfectly
logical to assume and to maintain
that every citizen, irrespective of
color, creed, or condition of life,
should be obliged to do his share
in promoting that security which
he demands. A citizen is in duty
bound to pay taxes in order to as
sist financially in the maintenance
OF the government. He is expect
ed to obey the laws which have
been established for the preserva-
ton Of order and the defence of
individual rights. Since the gov
eminent is under the obligation of
shielding it's citizens from harm
and evil, it is perfectly within the
bounds OF reason to assert that
the government is allowed the
right to exact services from those,
who are needed to uphold the gen
eral welfare. The right of con
scription in this country today
cannot be successfully challenged
on rational, political, or religious
grounds. True, the administers
ton may deem it wise to exempt
certain classes as, ministers of the
gospel, those above Or below spec
flied age limits, and others; bat
the obligationsto serve one s couia-
| try is commensurate with the pro-
ttection which the citizen demands
and receives. Z
To oppose conscription, which
is practiced in virtually all the
countries of Europe and is found.
ed upon reason, is to proclaim
ones self a Stacker and coward.
A coward is hated Of all men; a
Stacker is un-American and I'M
Christian. IL all men were actu-
ated by a genuine love of country,
consumption would be needless.
Since, however, the country is in
danger and patriotism is fire.
quently a matter merely Of high
phrases and vain boasting, signi-
flying nothing, it behooves the
government to urge firmly and
vigorously that words of patriot-
ism be quickly transformed into
deeds Of heroism, Catholics are
obliged even as a matter Of con-

Captures Eagle

A fine specimen of the American
eagle was sent to town from Crab
bottom Monday and remained on
exhibition at the postofice for sew
eral days.
The big bird was caught by
Ambe Rexrode of Dry Run and
was sent to the cashier of the Dur
bin bank.
Mr.. Rexrode had lost a sheep by
death, and when he found that
something was feeding on the car
cass, he placed a trap. His first
catch was a red fox, and Mr.. Eagle
was next to "get his foot in it,"
The monster bird attracted much
attention while on exhibition at
the postoffice. He measured seven
feet from tip to tip, and had that
peculiarly piercing eye for which
his kind is noted. His plumage
was glossy and bright, and he prob
able belonged tie the golden eagle
family.

It did me a wonderful amount Of good.
Only one bottle was used but the bene-
fits were permanent.
"My husband used Golden Medical
Discovery for cough and cold. He
says it is the best medicine going. He
gave it to the children and says that is
why they are so well. We consider

child was born. I suffered and was
annoyed for some time. l tried several
doctors who used local applications,
with little benefit. A lady who had
similar trouble had used DIR. Pierce's
Healing Suppositories with success, and

does far more for me than any other

Aged Citizen Dead

John R. Beverage, probably the
oldest citizen of Highland, died
Sunday afternoon at the old home
on Strait Creek.
In spite of his extreme age-94
years-and his feeble condition,
death came unexpectedly, giving
even the members of the family
but short notice of its approach.
Mr.. Beverage was farmer and
most of his life was spent in the
home W! ere the grim reaper found
him, a fully-ripened sheaf awaiting
the harvest. He was one of the
county's good citizens quiet, peac-
able and law abiding. If he had
an enemy in the world, the writer
does not know it, for he was kind
and friendly in every relation of
life. He was veteran of the war,
and, in speaking of his record, one
of his comrades classed him as "a
good soldier"
Although a widower at the time
of his death, Mr.. Beverage was
thrice married, his consorts being
Misses Meyers, Ralston and Nal
colin, in the order named. The
children of the first union are s. N.
Beverage, of Monterey, and Mrs.
J. B. Hicklin, of the Bullpasture;
those of the second, William Bev-
erage and Mrs. J. W. Botkin, both
living in the West, while Glen and
Morgan, at home, and Berlin in
Detroit, are children of the third
marriage. There is also one sur
viving brother, Andrew ]. Bever-
age, of Pendleton, who was una
BILE to be present at the funeral on
account of Illness.
Mr.. Beverage was a member of
the church of the Brethren. The
funeral service was held at the
home Monday afternoon, conduct
ed by Rev. ]. G. Thrasher, of the
Methodist church. Interment in
Strait Creek cemetery.

Supervisors Meeting

The Board held a special meet
ing on Monday to settle with the
Treasurer.
The Treasurer, Willis Gibson,
was before the Board and made his
semi-annual settlement for the
year 1916, from which we find the
following balances, as of Jan. l,
1917:
General county levy S6354 As
County roads 4,796.24
S. & P. pike 1874
Joint State aud Co. fund 1854 90
District road fund 1271.21
Sinking fund 1857. "A
Dog tax fund 2S5.H
School fund for the Co..
State, County and Dist. 9,971 so
These balances show up good for
the county, but we must remember
that a greater part of the taxes for
the year 1916, have been collected,
while the paying out proposition
confronts us along the way.
The balance in the Treasurer's
hands to the credit of the dog tax
fund of S2S5 II, is directed to be
turned into the county road fund !,
as the law directs.
The Treasurer is also directed to
place his balance of the Sinking
Fund on time deposit, so that it
will commence to help in meeting
our interest on the R. R. debt.
This railroad debt OF $4,000
with interest at 4 pr ct, will be due
in 1925. Then it should be paid
Our 5 cent rate for the Sinking
Fund brings in about ST, 900, and
in a wear or two to raise the rate to
10 cents for the sinking fund, and
run it at that until 1925, placing
each year, the amount collected on
time deposit, then we will have
enough to cancel the bonds. This
the Board will no doubt do.

and moved to Staunton soon after
his marriage.
Mr. Judy is remembered here as

and integrity, one of Highlands

He was IS years old. Among the
relatives who went out to his fun

Deaths

Miss Sudie E. Stephenson,
daughter of the late Adam Steph-
enson and we'll known as a High
land lady, died suddenly in Wash
ington city Monday night. The
announcement, which was received
here soon after, came as a shock
and surprise to friends and rela-
tives.
Miss Stephenson was a maiden
lady, aged about 70. and since the
death of her parents had spent
much of her life in Staunton and
Washington. She was a lady of
culture and refinement, a social
favorite wherever known. Two
brothers survive here A. Steph-
enson, of Meadow Dale, and Hon.
John w. Stephenson, of Warm
Springs.
Her remains will be brought here
today-Thursday-and inferred by
her parents in the home burying-
ground at Meadow Dale.
Mrs. Geo. o. Fleisher, whose
critical condition was referred to
previously in these columns, died
Tuesday night at her home in Nc
Dowell. For probably two months
she had been at the K. D. hospital
where she had undergone an opera
ton, but finding her case hopeless
one she was brought home last Sat-
urday in order that her last days
might be spent with loved ones and
amid familiar scenes.
Mrs. Fleisber's maiden name was
Wilson, her widowed mother mar
rying the late Townsend Price, and
she has a large relationship and
wide circle of friends in Highland.
Her husband and three children
survive her. The children are W.
E., of the Bullpasture, Mis-. Roy
Obaugh, of the Mcdowell commu-
nifty, and Fl. B. Fleisher, who lives
in the West.
