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. p. Moretz, II. M. Moretz, and,
reaching the climax, when Prof.
Vance e. Howell, graduate of the
Appalachian Training School, de-
liveren O 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

would unhesitatingly recommend
him to any school district desir-

ergetic and faithful teacher.

OF oppressed manhood will min.
gle with the voice of God. There
will be u "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
IN monarchs $ whose ambitions
would run wild. A victory for the
entente powers would mean a tri-
umph of liberty over a "kultur"
of blood and iron. So, then, why
should we give heed to the plea
OF the pacitist 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 finality
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
rificing 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 exemplifed.

Don't Go to Law; Arhihate.

The time and money our farm.
ers spend in lawsuits every year
would probably keep every farm
house in the South painted and
every barn whitewashed, and,
therefore, make our whole Sec
tion look like O different coun-
try. Why can our folks, wnen
any disagreement comes up, sim
ply say: well arbltrate this,
III pick a man, and let these two
arbitrators pick a third, and
then we'll abide by what.the three
decide is just and WISE" Adopt
this plan instead OF the lawsuit
plan and you save money. Yon
also save time. And what is inf.
nitely more important, you save
neighborliness and good feelings.
Here's a sort of cooperation
every farmer should practice
whenever occasion arises. Espec-
tally should Local Unions,
farmers clubs and country chur-
ches see to it that all disputes
are settled in this way.-Progres-

Three Boys in the Tolls.

Three .boys-aged 8, 10 and
IL years-were before Judge
Shaw in Buncombe Superior
court at Asheville this week for
store-breaking and larceny. The
lO-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 "llnproper 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 t h a t
old-time thrashing beingdone by
parents these days and when it
is attempted in the next best
place-the school-the teacher il
hailed into courtand it costs him
q few months salary before it is

Foes to the Cause.

Those, forward and disingenu-
Gus ladies who resort to subter-
fuges to obtain an audience with
the president in order to hector
him about the federal woman suf.
frage amendment and who are
reported to have surrounded the
white house with pickets to an
noy him in his daily life and at
every inglessand 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
and appreciates the fact t h a t
these bold and not overnice or
over-scrupulous members of the
sex do not represent the great
body OF the woman suffragists of
the United States, butitis some
times difficult to dlsassociate a
cause in the public mind from the
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
urally this popular resentment
will not enue with advantage
and promotion to the cause OF
woman suffrage. If there is any
method by which the great body
OF sell-respecting women.of Amer
lea interested in the equal sui
frage cause, can control and Ie-
strain the .,rowdy and hoodlum
element of the seX-for alas! even
they are not free, it seems from
an element of the kind-it should
be exerted to protect the presi-
dent from these relentless balters
whose sex and position renders
him helpless to protect himself
from them.-KnoXvllle Sentinel.

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.
Gone 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-
tibility therefore it is all impor-
tant that all functions of the TO-
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. Alcohol has been
called by the United States Pub
lie Health Service "the handmai-
den of pneumonia"
"lt 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."

Robert Edward Lee.

When the future historian shall
come to survey the character OF
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 summit.
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
u victim wlthoutmurmuring. He
was a public officer without vi
ces; a private citizen without
wrong; u neighbor without re-
proach; u Christian without hy-
pocrisy, and a man without
guile. He was Caesar without his
ambition; Frederick without his
tyranny; Napoleon without his
selfshness; 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 IN life; mod
est and pure as a virgin in
thought; 'watchful as a Roman
vestal in duty; submissive olaw
as Socrates, and grand in bat
tie as Achilles!-BeDjamin Hill.

Dec. 8.-That Field Marshal Haig pre-
vented the Germans from breaking
through his lines on the Cambria front
discounts the small gains which the
enemy hosts achieved on Monday at a
terrible cost of life.
1t means that the critical period has
been successfully passed and that for
the second time in four days Field
Marshal Haig thwarted what is be-

to duplicate the German-Austro- Hun
garian performance In Italy.
AT La Vacquerie the enemy fought
his way through the town. and one
party penetrated for some hundred
yards into British territory. This was
the extreme gain.
The attacking forces secured very
narrow strip Of ground a little north
and south Of La Vacquerie. but the
British still chung grlmly to the high

Hotels Show Huge Food Saving.

Diners at 1000 Michigan hotels and
restaurants since the advent Of wheat
less" and "meatless" days are saving
for the soldier boys and our Allies at
the rate OF 1000 900 pounds Of wheat
-four year and 100000 pounds Of
meat.
There are 5000 hotels and restaur-
ants in the state. but 1000 of them
have so far failed to sign the Hoover
pledge card. Hence, reports of what
they are doing are not obtainable.
Reports OF the 1000 hotels and res
taurants that are obeying the sugges-
ton of Federal Administrator Hoover
have been coming to State Administra.
tor Prescott for several days.
Two hundred such reports on meat
we're taken and tabulatad. They
showed that in 100 hotels and restaur-
ants, scattered widely as to location
and class, during the first month OF
the campaign, there was saved 42,591
pounds of meat For the whole 1000
the saving would be 425.910 pounds.
Multiplying this estimate by IL would
give the yearly saving at the astound.
ing figure of 5,110,920 pounds. or 2,
555 tons.
On the wheat-saving the first 10
were tabulated. They showed a saw
Ing OF 1888 pounds OF wheat -four,
which would make 316,960 pounds
for the entire 1000 pledged establish
ments. For the year this would mean
saving in them alone of 3.S03,520
pounds, or more than 1000 tons.
While these figures are merely esti.
mates, in the opinion of the state food
authorities they are more than fairly
accurate. The hotels and restaurants
taken were of such diversified char
acter as to indicate that all would fol.
| low about the same ratio in the long
run.
