THE OLD GRAY BRIDGE


1t curves across the valley
Of the fair Patapsco,
The cid gray bridge of history,
Pride of the. B. & o.
A century has swept along
The railroads changing way,
But still its arches firm and strong
Hold to their task today.
The little playboy engines
That chugged across somehow
Could not imagine monsters
That roar upon it now.
Where quaint old fashioned coaches
Bore timid wondering souls,
A line of palaces flash on
Toward their distant goals.
In war it carried soldiers
Wherever they would go,
While guns were mounted on the hills
To guard it from the foe.
When yellow floods swirl downward,
Submerging lowland fields,
The old bridge never falters
And not an inch it yields.
A hundred years of service,
A record clean and fair,
Abreast with modern progress,
And bearing all its share,
Born at the birth of railroads,
On the fair Patapsco,
The old gray bridge of history,
Pride of the B. & o.

ALONG THE
NO STIDMAN

It is regrettable that one dis
honorable act can destroy the other
wise good record Of human being.
Benedict Arnold, born January IA,
1741, was distinguished as an eff
cient, resourceful fighting officer Of
the American Revolution. Up to the
time of his court-martial in which
he was convicted of two minor
offences, his career as a soldier had
been above reproach. He was bril-
liant officer and his work was of an
inestimable value to his Commander,
George Washington.
When the name of Benedict
Arnold is mentioned now, we do not
think of the brave man as one of the
first to raise a military company for
the defence of the Colonies, Of the
colonel assisting in the capture of
Ticonderoga and Crown Point, of the
cool man of action under General
Gates in the first and second battles
Of Saratoga, or of his services at
the evacuation of Philadelphia.
Arnold the traitor completely over
shadows Arnold the American SOL
der.

Laurence Sterne, English novelist

A Federal Agent was Joe Sap,
But he just couldn't shut his trap.

And now he's selling magazines.

A Doctor of Psychology, Donald
A. Laird, is author of an article
entitled, Chow To Be Completely
Unhappy" He points out the
fact that it is not a new kink in
the minds of persons to worry over
trifes, until we are just about
goofy. He claims that our ancestors
did the same thing, but we moderns
have developed to some degree, ways
of our own. 1t seems to be natural
for some people to allow themselves
to be bounded by anxiety until they
are entirely surrounded by troubles;
past, present and yet to come. We
might be benefited by the code of the
colored race, and live for today.

This is the official weight re-

that contrary to some animals

Big Boy has been on display in
N. c., S. c. and Virginia during
the past two years and has been
viewed by more than 100000 peo-
pie. One of the reasons he is
shown is to encourage the pro-

He was on display in North

much attention that Mr.. Jack

that he be shown here. A small
admittance charge is made to de-
fray his travelling expenses.

Per Capita Cost OF County
Homes Is Still Increasing

Out of the total of $713,224
spent by IS North Carolina
counties in fiscal 1888 for care of
INDECENT and aged in almshouses,
Ashe county had a monthly per
capita cost of $16.67 in taking
care of an average daily popula-
ton of Is according to figures Of
a survey by the division of insti-
tutions and corrections of the
State Board of Charities and
Public Welfare.
Expenditures for permanent
improvements to % county
homes ranged from slightly more
than 5000 to 100000 spent by
Edgecombe county on its new
home and sanatorium. Statewide
expenditures for permanent i'm
provements during the fiscal per-
iod cost the counties $170,210.39,
the survey showed. The total ex-
penditure for maintenance in
Ashe last year was $2,6O6.34.
Average annual per capita cost
in the IS county homes came to
$213.54 or $17.76 a month eXciu-
sive of expenditures for perma-
nent improvements, while the
average daily population for the
IS homes collectively was 35 in
mates.
The average daily population,
total yearly maintenance and
per capita cost for aims
houses in adjoining counties was
as follows: Watauga county, ST.
654.72 for average of 16 persons
daily; Wilkes 80 persons daily,
annual cost of $5,53703.
North Cardinals public as
sistance program lowered the
cost of operating the county
homes $4,000 in 1888 over the
previous year by reducing the to-
tai average population 800 in
mates" w. c. Ezell, director of
the division of institutions and
corrections, said in commenting
On the survey.
County home care is still
five million dollar enterprise
with the counties reporting an
of $3,691,532 with
permanent improvements and an
nual maintenance costs amount
ing to $883,434
per capita costs Of operation
Of the institutions are still climb
ing, having jumped from $13.66
IN 1884 to an average of $17.76
during the last fiscal period, and
the rise may be expected to con-
tinue in view of the fact that the
able-bodied have to some xtent
been removed from the homes
public assistance aid
which the physically and mentally
lnfirm have been left in the in
stitutions.
"One-half the present aims
house population is bedridden or
needs considerable personal at
tention, while a third are blind
or have seriously defective Wis
ion.
Small counties will find it
much more economical to unite
with adjacent counties and form
district infirmary homes, follow
ing the lead of Forsyth, Edge
combe and Craven counties in
opening new homes which at
tempt to provide special medical
and nursing services.
The proportion who are bed
ridden and incapacipated from
physical or mental infirmities
will gradually increase because
the able-bodied will be granted
pubic assistance aid and will re-
main IN private homes. This will
make 1t necessary for the coun-
ties to provide adequate medical
attention which can be done more
economically if the institutional
units are sufficiently large as
they are in the case of a district
nome with the cost of operation
pro-rated among the participant
ing counties" Ezell pointed out.
