S. P. BROWNING
RESIGNS FROM
SCHOOL BOARD
Former President Of Board Of Educa-
ton Who Has Served City For
Twelve Years, Resigns
Successor Not Yet
Named.

II became known yesterday that
only few days ago Mr.. s. P. Brown
ing had rendered his resignation as a
member of the City Board of Educa-
ton to take effect at once and that the
resignation had been accepted after
attempts on the part of members of
the board to induce Mr.. Browning to
remain on the Board were found futile.
MIR. Browning has been a repre-
sentative of the First Ward on the
School Board for period of twelve
years and during that time he has
been of much service to the city in
that his counsel and advise has been
worth much. For several years DUR
ing his tenure of office, the First Ward
man was president of the organiza-
ton and during his presidency many
Of the up-to-date systems now used in
the schools we're adopted.
The reason for resigning as given
by Mr.. Browning was that he was now
devoting his time to so much gov
eminent work aside from his large
personal business with the Ohio Val
ley Pulley Works that he did not think
he could do the Board of Education
justice.
Mr.. Browning is now Fuel Admins
traitor for Mason county and is also
enlisted in the War Labor Boards
work so that the most of the time he
is not employed with the business of
the Pulley Works he is spending in
one way or another to help America
win the war.
In losing Mr.. Browning the Mays
Vile Board of Education is losing one
of it's best men. During his term of
office Mr. Browning applied the same
sort of business principals to his ac-
lions in behalf of the city schools that
he used in his own business. His adj
vice on matters of education was al
ways sought in everything done and
the members of the present Board Of
Education realizing his worth TO them
in handling the school affairs of the
city urged unon him that he recon-
slider his resignation but he was I'M
able to do so and the resignation was
accepted.
Mr.. Browning's successor has not
yet been elected but will likely be
chosen by the Board at an early meet
ing. AS is usually the custom the re-
naming member from the First Ward,
Mr.. r. A. Cochran, will be expected to
nominate Mr.. Browning's successor.

CUT THE WEEDS
ALONG THE Pixies,
SAYS The JUDGE
Judge Purnell Again Calls the Atten-
ton Of the People Of the County
TO the Weed Cutting Statute.

Some people of the county are pay
ing absolutely no attention to the new
state law requiring weeds to be cut
along the highways and Judge Pur-
nell has issued the following official
statement:
Several weeks ago the papers pub
lished an extract from the law requir-
ing all weeds and shrubbery along the
highway to be cut. This law was pass
ed by the 1918 Legislature, fixing the
time for cutting from July LIST to Au-
gust Goth. This time is about out and
in the county there are quite few
weeds and shrubbery yet to be cut
In riding over the county | find that
a great many farmers have compiled
with the law and here / wish to thank
them for their hearty cooperation in
this matter, but there are some who
have not yet cut the weeds and as the
time is now drawing near, why let 1t
pass before doing your part in uphold
ing the law and in identifying your
county?
There is no use having the Road
Supervisor calling upon you with a
summons for neglect in cutting the
weeds, as it won't take long, and you
would be surprised at the good it will
do, but unless some step is taken by
some to have these weeds cut it will
be necessary for some action to be
taken in the matter.
Most all of the farmers have COM
piled with the law, so why should they
be compelled to cut the weeds and
the other fellow not do so? This was
made to apply to one and all alike
and it is only my duty as an official
to see that this law is carried out.
Let me ask again that you please
lend me your aid and have these
weeds cut so as to avoid proceeding
further in the matter

FAST TRAIN NEARLY WRECKED
when DRAW BAR IS STRUCK
East Bound Fast Flyer Number Four
On the c. 6 o. Is Very Nearly
Wrecked Near IvOr Station
Wednesday Night.

Fast flyer Number Four on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad was al
rsost wrecked while travelling at a
good rate of speed near Ivor station
just East of Cincinnati few miles on
Wednesday evening according to pas
sengers reaching this city on the
train.
A draw bar was struck by the en-
CINE and the pilot of the engine was
badly damaged but the engineer
brought the train to stop and an in
vestigation showed that a draw bar
had been struck.
Just how the draw bar came on the
East bound track is a mystery. 1t is
hardly possible that the bar came
from a West bound train and had it
dropped from an East bound train it
would have more than likely wreck
ed the train from which it fell.
An investigation into the matter is
underway to learn whether or mot
some one attempted deliberately to
wreck the fast train with its large
load of human freight by placing the
bar on the track Luckily no one on
the train was injured and no very ser
ious damage was done the train.

REGISTRATION ORDERED
FOR AUGUST oath
Youths Becoming 81 Years Of Age
Since June 9Th VIII Register
Saturday Week.

Washington-Regis on Sat
urday August "a, of all youths who
have reached the age of 81 since the
second registration last June has
been ordered by Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder, under proclamation
by the President. The purpose is to
add quickly to the almost exhausted
Glass l to meet army draft calls in
September.
About 10000 young men will reg
lister. Most of them will qualify for
Glass 1, and, therefore, will join the
army probably within a month after
their names are recorded.
Telegraphic orders to local author
tiles to arrange for the registration
have already been distributed. Presi-
dent Wilson's proclamation excerpts
the territories of Alaska, Hawaii and
Porto Rico from the registration tenn
porarily, but later day will be fixed
for these. Only men in the army
service are exempted f:cn regi5tra-
ton.
1t was pointed cut at the Provost
Marshal Generals office that this reg
istration would be entirely distinct
from the registration that will be nee
essary shortly, when the draft ages
are extended, and it also was an
nounced that the suggested date, Sep
TENDER 5, would not be the day for the
registration of men from IS to 45,
even If Congress passes the bill in
time, because several of the largest
states in the Union hold primary cleo
tions on that date

CITY WATER REMAINS
IMPURE, SAYS STATE
EXPERTS ANALYSIS
County Health Officer Receives AnOth.
er Analysis Of City Water and
State Examiner Agnin Says
"BOiI Water"

During the latter part of July Coun-
ty Health officer j. s. Locke received
report from the state laboratories
on sample of city water which had
been examined. At that time the
state chemist said the water was i'm
pure and advised all of the users of
the water to boil II before, using
The matter was reported to the Mays
vile Water Company with request
that they adjust their publication
plant so that the water served the
public would be free of contamina
ton.
In few days after the report had
been received DR.. Locke took another
sample of the water from the office of
Circuit Clerk James B. Key and for
warded 1t to the state laboratories
for examination. Yesterday he re-
ceived a report on this sample which
read as follows:
Analysis indicates contamination
| from microorganisms of the b. coli
group. Improve methods of purifica-
ton or boil water"
The result of the second examina-
ton was yesterday given the Mays
vile Water Company's local officials
and DIR. Locke will assist them in
making certain adjustments to the
chlorine plant at the reservoir so that
the contamination will be removed.
Until the water is reported free
from contamination, however, DR..
Locke advises that all using city wat
err be careful to see that 1t is boiled
or otherwise treated so as to purify
it.
Reports from certain cisterns in the
city and wells and springs in the
county were also received yesterday
and in every instance the chemist re-
ported contamination Of various de-
grees. In the case Of one cistern in
the city the chemist reported the wat
er to he So per cent sewage. The re-
suits Of these examinations of private
water supplies will be given the per-
sons using the supplies at once by the
County Health Officer with the recon-
mendation that they stop the use OF
the water altogether Immediately.
To such water can be traced much
of the typhoid fever of the commun-
ity and by the careful examination OF
the water and the stopping of use OF
polluted water supplies, DR.. Locke
hopes to be able to stop much of the
typhoid.

ONE MORE YOUNG LADY
ENLISTED IN RESERVE
Another MaysyiIle Woman Offers Her.
self For Training In the United
States Student Nurse Reserve
Many Expected Today
and Tomorrow.

The Women's Committee of the Ma
son County Council of National De-
fese announces that yesterday anoth-
er Maysville woman offered herself
for course of training In U. S. Stu
dent Nurse Reserve to help release
more graduate nurses in this country
that they may go overseas to help
care for our men who are falling on
the battle fields of France.
This brings the total of enrollments
in Mason county up to six which is
still four short of the county's ap-
portionment but the women in charge
of the enlistment are very much en-
couraged and they feel certain that
Mason county will reach her quota be-
fore the last of the campaign.
The intensive campaign which has
been in progress all of this week will
be continued through today and to-
morrow and all of the young women
who are interested will receive full
information in regard to the reserve by
calling at any time they choose at the
Public Library.
1t is to be hoped that the four young
women this county is now short will
be enrolled before the intensive cam
paign closes this week so that in the
time left the county may go even be-
yond her quota as she has always
done IN every other war endeavor.

WORKERS IN
ROCK DRIVE
ARE THANKED
County Judge and Commissioners Ex-
tend Their Thanks TO Those Who
Made Rock Hauling Days
Big Success.

County Judge Purnell and the
County Commissioners yesterday is
sued the following statement:
The rock hauling campaign which
ended Wednesday was a decided sue
cess, due to the fact that the farmers
and business men of the city did lend
their assistance to such an extent that
today most every road In Mason coun-
ty has more or less rock strewn along
side of the road ready for the crusher
which we hope will not be long, but
due to the fact there are so many
rock out, let us ask that you be little
patient and the outfit will get to you
just as soon as possible.
The Fiscal Court of the county, in
GLIDING the Commissioners and Coun-
ty Judge wish to thank the farmers
for their hearty cooperation in this
movement for without their help the
work would not have progressed as it
has done. We also wish to extend
our hearty appreciation to the busi-
ness men who left their places of
business, to go out into the country
and help load these rock from the
quarry to the wagon, and while to
some it may sound queer no one could
believe these men could deliver with
the good results, unless they take a
trip over the county and see the rock
that has been put out by these gen.
| tlemen. To those who could not leave
their business and go to the country,
but sent a man in their places we
also wish to extend our thanks, for
in every instance, the man who was
their representative, delivered excel
lent work much to the satisfaction OF
the farmers and the Fiscal Court
Great credit is due our most worthy
friend, Mr.. Dodds, Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, without whose
help this movement would not have
been such a success He not only
worked ~ the movement in getting
the business men to go to the country
and help, but he himself put in two
full days in the quarries. If you dc
not believe he worked in the boiling
sun, just take look at his nose, and
the first impression you will get is
that he does not live in q local option
town.
1t is this spirit that is sure to win
If we have good roads in Mason coun-
ty, there must be this cooperation
which has existed the past few days
Let the farmer and the business man
| feel they have common interest to-
gether, that one is necessary to the
other if we wish to go forward, and
you will find where this feeling en-
lists nothing will be too great, and
Mason county will be in the front
ranks when it comes to doing things
that count
In conclusion, again we wish to
thank one and all for their good work,
assuring you at the same time that we
will do our part in getting the rock
on the road by keeping all outfits
moving until every rock on the turn
pixies is crushed and placed on the
road.
