THE SPIRIT
OF CARTHAGE

A few weeks ago the writer in the
columns of the Courier stated that
plans were being made to re-establish
athletics on permanent basis in Car
thage and that friends would be called
upon to help along the good work.
To date the sum of $274 has been con-
tributed and there are still several to
be heard from. Below are printed
letters from Washington and Denver.
Read them over and see how they
sound to you. How about a new rso-
lutio1 to the effect that everyone who
has at one time or another in his life
made Carthage his home, or is making
it his home now, come across and
boost the burg for all it is worth. Do
1t with your money, your spirit and
your enthusiasm. $3.50 is the mini
mum that has been set, but the game
Is wide open and the sky is the limit.
Our aim is a classy team, a No. l
equipment, a stiff schedule, a comfort
able seat for every fan and a square
deal and good time for every visit
ing team. Next week the list of con-
trlbutors and the spring schedule will
be published. Anyone who hasn't vet
contributed, and desires to do so, see
Hickman before he sees you and
and open your purse strings. This
money will not be squandered and the
books will be open to any one at any
time for accounting.
4 Remember, we are not asking char
by. We don't need any. Neither do
we want any. This is an investment
which pays a big dividend to every
one, whether he contributes or not;
and if you are interested in the bust
ness, good name, health and sports
nanship of our city, to be a booster
for the best asset to our school and
town.
Read these and do thou likewise:

PATIENTS RECEIVING TREATMENT
AT THE TRACHOMA HOSPITAL

The Division of Rural Sanitation of
the State Board Of Health has for a
number of months been conducting a
model health campaign in cooperation
with Smith County
One of the important activities en-
gagged in is that of medical inspection
of schools and health work in schools
following the inspection. Early in
the campaign it became apparent that
a disease of the eyes known as ira
choma formulated lids) was very
prevalent and that if many people
were to be saved from serious eve
trouble, lessened vision and even total
blindness, immediate steps were i'm
peratlvely necessary.

BROWNS In THE
CUMBERLAND

The citizens of Carthage were very
much shocked last Thursday evening
about dark when the news was spread
that w. ID. Young had fallen from a
gasoline boat and drowned in the Cum
berland river.
Mr.. Young, who formerly lived in
Carthage, but moved his family to
Watertown some weeks ago, return
ed to Carthage first of the last week
and with some other men went up the
river to install a new engine on a gas
dime boat. The work was completed
Thursday and the boat arrived here
about dark, and as the boat was land
ing at the Carthage wharf it was dis
covered that Mr.. Young was missing.
When last seen he was standing in the
rear door of the cabin of the boat
about the time the boat passed the
upper ferry, which is only a short dis
lance above Carthage, so there is but
little doubt that the body went into
the river between the upper ferry and
the Carthage landing.
On Friday the good citizens of
Carthage readily subscribed a reward
of 500 for the recovery of the body.
and though searching parties have
been continuously dragging the river
since Friday morning, the body has
not yet been recovered.
Mr.. Young was about thirty years
OF age and a very popular business
man. Some years ago he came to
Carthage and established the Car
image produce Co. and had built I'D an
extensive business throughout this
section. He operated two gasoline
boats on the Cumberland and had a
house at Gainesboro.
and only Short time ago established
a branch house at Gordonsville. He
IS the son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H.
Young of Watertown and is survived
by his wife and four children.
Announcement has been made that
the }. II. Young Produce Co. will sue
coed the Carthage Produce Co. and
continue to operate the Carthage
house.

afflicted with this dreaded eye disease.
Some were in the beginning stage,
others more advanced, and in at least
one case the disease would have, in a
comparatively short period, produced
total blindness.
Of course, since the disease is in
fictitious, (contagious) cases in chill
dren meant usually other cases at
home, and since many school children
have not been examined there are hun
dreds of cases yet undiscovered which
remain menace to the sight of the
afflicted persons and to other persons
who may come in contact with them.
From this brief summary of the sur
vey can be seen the vital Importance
of measures that would not only les
sen the affection and cure the disease
in those persons already affected, but
that would, by lessening the wholesale
community infection, protect the eye
sight of others now living and even
of generations yet unborn. Hence the
county and State Board of Health had
to recognize two phases of the prob
lem one being that of relief, the other
that of protection eff the public health.
1t should be remembered in connec-
ton with the public health aspect of
