Proceedings To Test
Freedom OfPress In
Ashe County Started
Ex-Sheriff Miller Files Suit
Against Editor And Pub
Usher OF The Post.
ASKS FOR DAMAGES

Proceedings were started in the
superior court during the past
week to test the freedom of the
press in Ashe county to publish
official action of the county board
of commissioners that is of vital
interest to every taxpayer.
Through his attorneys, Bowie
and Bowie, H. M. Miller filed a
complaint against Ed M. Ander-
son, editor and publisher of The
Skyland Post, alleging that he
composed, published and circu-
lated, with malicious intentions,
news story on January q, 1888;
that contained false, defamatory
and libelous statements about
him, and asked for the payment
of damages in the sum of $4,000.
The usual arrest and bail
feature was also attached with
bond being fixed at 100000. The
papers were served on Mr.. An
derson last Friday morning by
Deputy Sheriff Walter Stringer
and bond was posted, together
with motion for reduction of
same. ~
Specific statements in the news
story referred to in the complaint
as being false and malicious were
that the plaintiff, according to an
audit by a certified public ac-
cOuntant, made at the order of
the present board of county COM
misSioners, was indebted to the
county of Ashe on tax collections
made during the years 1926,
sum around $28,000.00, and that
he had failed, refused and ne
elected to pay this alleged in
debtedneSS.
The complaint stated that Ex-
Sheriff H. M. Miller had made
final settlements with former
boards of commissioners for the
years 1882, 1888, 1884 and 1885
and that he had over-paid for
the year 1886.
AS pointed out in a recent news
story, The Post denied making
any false or malicious statements
about Mr.. Miller, and explained
that those specific statements re-
garding the alleged Indebtedness
were made by the members Of
the AShe county board of COM
missioners and officially signed
by them, in their reply of jan
uary "a, 1888, to the notice which
Ex-Sheriff Miller had served on
them, demanding that they turn
over to him all uncollected tax
es for the year 1886 and also the
checks and unpaid tax tickets
that were turned over to them
by him the previous July. In the
story both the notice and the an
sWers were printed and it was
specifically pointed out that "the
notice and the answers are as
follows.
The Post did not make single
comment or express an opinion
as to whether or not Ex-Sheriff
Miller was or is indebted to the
county single penny, and stated
that Editor Anderson did not
have any malice whatever, then
or now, towards Ex-Sheriff Mill
er and that he had not even met
him at that time, as he had only
been editing the paper a short
while.
1t pointed out that after the
audit of tax books was made by a
certified public accountant, w.
E. Smith, of Lenoir, in the spring
of 1887, the county commission

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-30
BY DR. R. w. MEss1ER

The sense of sight is a priceless heritage. No one should be robbed of it, yet many are-often need lessly.
 At the very beginning of life, eyes should be guarded and protected. Opthalmia Neonatorum, or babies sore eyes caused more blindness than any other disease until 1884 when Dr. Carl Siegmund Franz Crede told the medical world that a weak solution of silver nitrate put into the eyes of every baby directly after birth would kill the germ causing opthalmia and prevent the disease. It would seem that this was re- ceived with great acclaim, but the world is slow in grasping new ideas. Some doctors practiced it, and some did not, but some years later Dr. Lucien Howe saw that to be effec- tive it had to become law, with

Through the kindly cooperation of Miss Gertrude Whittemore, his sister, an old build ing. once a hotel, and. known as the Dews House, on the shore of the lake, was offered and accepted. Here the Vacation House was established and conducted for some IS years.
 First Counselor
 Miss Mary Beard, the nursing di- rector of the Visiting Nurse Associa- ton, was it first counselor, followed by Miss Mary Gardner and Miss Mary Camp. In 1925 MT. and Mrs. Thomas Belden took charge of the camp and served most efficiently for some 12 years. In 1927 so much was needed in repairs, after this long period of use, to make it a modern and up-to-date camp, sanitary and safe for healthful living, it was decided to rage the old Dews house and erect a new building. The late MT. Harris Whittemore again came forward with the same splendid CO., operation and helpfulness and built

 An otherwise intelligent and pro- gressive child may be hindered by one of these eye defects without complaint from him or her, as child cannot know that his vision is wrong until it has been corrected. They think that everyone sees as they do until they have been given proper vision with correct glasses then they see a new world washed clean and set up right with color and full beauty.

 Often when a child,s sight is not corrected they lose interest in their studies, develop an inferiority complex, as they cannot seem to grasp things as quickly as other children do and become backward.

 Directors
 The board of directors, under pr. Lewis, consist of MT. Frederick w. Chesson, MT. Charles H. Upson, MT. Charles D. Nye, MT. E. J. Daly, and MT. w. s. Jones. These men have been responsible for the Vacation House since its inception. Of recent years, because the detail has grown, 1t has seemed best to have an ad- visory committee who could help in the selection and organizing of the groups and so Mrs. Edward B. Mo- Elligott. Mrs. John Allen Coe, Jr., Mrs. Walter L. Barber, and Mrs. Samuel A. Budde, and Mrs. Augustin A. Crane were appointed by Dr. Lewis in that capacity.
 This article should not be closed without 8 personal tribute to Dr. John N. Lewis who for thirty odd years now has labored, begged and pleaded for support and interest in this character and health-building agency. Without his will to make it go and his perennial interest and enthusiasm it might easily have fallen by the wayside, but he has kept steadily at 1t and made it very vital and important part of the social fabric of Waterbury.

che result that now it is compulsory in most states to treat infants in Chis manner at the time of birth, thus blindness due to opthalmia has been reduced 75 per cent. But what about older children that go around with defective vision, often almost blind.
 Correct Vision
 Children at school age must see correctly in order to understand. The four priciple causes of defec- tive eyes are near-sightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism and double vision.
 A near-sighted child sees dis tant views or objects very indis- tinct, such as the blackboard from their seat and if they see it at all, it IS with great strain.
 The far-sighted will see all close objects dimly and have a fuzzy ap- pearance. The one with astigmatic condition will see objects distorted and to the child seeing double, things will look as though they were over- tapping instead of one clear image.
 An image of an object is formed on the retina of each eye, but the brain sees single image. When muscles of one eye are weaker than those of the other and cause it to look in slightly different direction the brain sees double which is fre-

The Vacation House on the shore of our beautiful Lake Quassapaug is an old and unique institution. In 1908 it was discovered that many children, through sickness or some other misfortune, were undernour- ished and in great need of a sum- mer holiday. where an abundance of good food and fresh air were available. This need was presented by Dr. John N. Lewis, then manager of Waterbury Visiting Nurse Asso-

Those that have normal sight should value their good fortune. They should read with proper light and not too long at one time, and they should protect their eyes from the sun in summer and the glare of sun and snow in the winter. Some of the most common indi- cations of defective eyes in chil. dren are:
 1. Constant rubbing Of the eyes. 3. Fatigue or listlessness shown
 after any kind of continued
 eye work.
 3. Browning or scowling. 4. Hang-dog look.
 5. Watering eyes.
 6. Copying.
 2. Dropping head.
 8. Reddish eyelids.
 9. Squinting. 10. Restlessness. II. Inattentiveness. 12. Dislike for reading. 13. Leaning over desk. IA. Crossed-eyes. IS. Aversion to bright lights. 16. Holding material wrong dis
 ance from eyes. 17. Fitting head to one side.
