CHARLIE MITCHELL
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

On Sunday morning about $3.50
o'clock, a heavy peal of thunder
swelled and reverberated thru the
valley. but no one imagined that the
preceding lightning had placed in
jeopardy the life of Charlie Mitchell,
operator at the l.. & n depot, yet
such was the case.
Charlie was finishing a train Or
der when the invisible electric fluid
ran along the phone wire and went
thru his body. He sprang up and
waved his arms under the influence
OF the powerful shock. but that
splendid sense of duty which dis
tinguishes Anglo-Saxon stock rose
to the surface and before collaps-
ing he told VIII Smith to take an
order to the train outside.
The force of the lightning cut
open the right shoe in its descent to
earth and, tho conscious. Charities
right isde was paralyzed. Gloom de-
seconded over Barbourville on receipt
Of the news since Charlie has the
high esteem and liking of everyone
but. happily, this has been dispelled
since he IS improving daily, having
somewhat regained the use OF his
arm and can drag the leg along with
the aid OF crutch. His eyes are
giving considerable trouble, but it is
hoped that time and youth will rem
edy all injuries.
He was taken to a car from his
mothers home Tuesday and carried
to his own home.

| pledge to each and all OF them our
every moral and political support as
long as they may faithfully do their
duty but we hold in store for them
and each of them our frown of dis
approval should any be found to be
unfaithful servants. This frown Of
disapproval shall continue until
every officer who fails to do his duty
I'm the matter of enforcing the law is
laid on the political shelf and punish
ed in the courts for nal feasancc,
misfeasanoe Or uonfeasance as the
case may be. The time is now here
when the law must be enforced with
all vigor. "The officer who fails to
enforce the law is worse than the
man viii breaks it,"
II. - We desire to call the at
tention of the 1922 session of the
General Assemblyto the need of still
more progressive school laws. We
need still better salaries. We need
longer terms. We need more money
| for equipment, for organization and
for supervision and enforcement Of
the laws. We need an enforcement
officer i'm each Educational Division.
To help obtain these and other needs
that may be visible now or that
may hereafter become visible We
urge upon the voters of Knox County
the Importance Of sending TO the
1922 session of the General Assemb-
ly the best friend to the teachers
and the schools who may seek cleo
ton to the place. To have these
needs realized and provided for we
need in the Legislature friends Of
Education. We need in the make
up of the Fiscal Court men who have
proven themselves to be law abiding
citizens themselves, men who have
helped to enforce the law and who
have been real live and lighting
forces in behalf of education. We
ask the voters of Knox County to
carefully scrutiuizc the past record
of every candidate who may oller
himself or herself this year aus %
candidate for a member of the
County Board OF Education, and next
year the past record of every candi-
date for Circuit Judge, Common
wealth's Attorney, County Judge,
County Attorney. Sheriff, Magistrate
Constable and Representative should
be carefully examined by every vot-
err. None but loyal friends of the
schools should be voted for by any
friend OF education.
~. 49, The date Of employing
school teachers should be changed
from the first Saturday in June to
the first Saturday in January, in or
der to give better chance to do work
in school and in order to give more
time to the work Of teaching agri-
culture.
10. 49, We recommend to the 1922
session of the General Assembly chat
there be examinations for teachers
certificates and that this eXaminati"u
be held on the third Friday and Sat
urday of January each year.

ENTERTAINMENT OF
VISITING TEACHERS


Tuesday Evening Entertainment.
This year an effort was made to
show the esteem in which the teach
ers Of the County are held by offer
ing them social courtesies. The two
Banks took this in hand Tuesday
night when they entertained the
teachers and a number of citizens at
the Baptist Church. All visitors
we're first served with delicious
punch after which they assembled
In the church where inspiring talks
were made by Gov. J. ID. Black and
Hon. J. NJ. Robsion. Gov. Black
stressed the Importance Of guarding
ones standard Of conduct and as
serted the necessity of keeping up
the standard of education, standing
by the law of the land, the use OF
chaste and correct language which
has been the great inspiration of the
human family, and to teach the
children good habits, build charac-

Mr.. Robson devoted the larger part
OF his address to Americanism, pay
ing a compliment to the men of the
mountains whose Anglo-Saxon blood
and ideals are at present and will be
In the future the safeguard of the
nation.
The social committee consisted of
Mrs. A. w. Hopper. Mrs. w. B. Min

Prof. E. f. IRVINE, Instructor of the
Institute. who told of his experience
during the war. Among other pleas
antries was being torpedoed and
trip of twenty hours back to Brest
in the same vessel.
The speaker showed the magni-
tude of the Y. NJ. c. A. workas
compared with that of other organ
izations and it is pleasing to note
that much of the former criticism of
that organization is being softened
as il is being realized what the "Y"
really meant in the lives Of our boys
On Thursday the hospitable Bap-
fist ladies gathered the teachers un-
der their wing. The young people
met on the lawn for social chat af-
ter which they witnessed stereopti-
