JOHN W. HOLMES
1840-1912
B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor.
THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1916.
In his speech nt Lexington Satur
day, Candidate C. L. Blease said,
among other things, that “if any man
can show me where' this office (the
State board of charities and correc
tions) has done a dollar’s worth
good I’ll vote for that man for gov
ernor.”
The editor of The People is not a
candidate for governor, the legisla
ture, nor any other office, and his
purpose in writing this editorial is
not to secure the suffrage of Candi
date Blease/nor any other man, but
he firmly believes that the need for
such a board is clearly shown in the
following cases, which were reported
to the board by the chairman of the
board of trustees of a rural school,
who said:
“The first is that of two girls about
14 and 16 years of age, respectively,
daughters of a half-witted mother,
who. has five illegitimate children,
and who seem destined in their pres
ent environment to follow the ex
ample of their mother. The para
mount question is what can be done
to save these girls from the imminent
peril. This is a white family.
“The second case is that of a semi-
idiotic colored lad, about 16 years of
age, the illegitimate offspring of a
simple and destitute mother of nu
merous progeny, who has absolutely
tio control over this boy. He wanders
at large at will and is irresponsible.
I regard him as an increasing men
ace to the females, of the neighbor-
How can he be handled so as
lit trouble, for which he has
lifested an increasing potentiality ?
I believe in the homely maxim that
in all such matters an ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure.”
Any comment on these cases would
be superfluous, other than to say
that they clearly come within the
scope of activities of the State board
bf charities and corrections.
It has been estimated that the cost
for running the courts in this coun
ty is about $16 an hour. Much valu
able time is often wasted by the at
torneys in asking useless questions of
the witnesses and by the jurors and
witnesses in failing to answer prompt
ly to their names. For instance, a
juror recently delayed the progress of
the court for a matter of some 16 or
20 minutes, at a cost to the taxpayers
of $4 or $5. If these tardy court at
tendants were made to pay out of
their own pockets for the loss occas
ioned the taxpayers it would put a
speedy end to the practice.
If this issue of The People is not
up to the usual standard in the mat
ter of interesting local and county
news, dear reader, ^ion’t blame it on
the editor. It is his place merely to
report happenings as they occur and
the present dearth of news is as seri
ous as the drouth. Interesting new^
absolutely refuses to “break.” •

♦ ♦ ♦
SLAVS AND BRITONS JOIN-
parently quite unexpectedly a force of
Russian Cavalry, after a bold and ad
venturous ride, has formed a junction
'fffnr.thTBrTtilh generalrGorringe, on
the riglit bank of the Tigris, in the.re
gion of Kut-el-Amara, where only re
cently a British force under Gen.
Townshend, after a long siege, was.
forced to yapitulate to the Turks.
How the Russians made their ad
vance—whether along the Tigris VaU
ley past Bagdad, or down through
Persia—has not been made known.
Coincident with their arrival, however,
comes a report that the Turks have
evacuated Bethaissa, their advanced
position on the right bank of the Ti
gris, and also have lost to the British
their Dujaillam redoubt.
Around Verdun.
Around Verdun the fighting be-
een the French and the ^Germans
continues with great violence, espec
ially between the Avocourt wood and
the River Meuse, northwest of the for
tress. A French first linetrench and
alsprf on the west of Le Morte Hom
me Jfave been captured by the Germ
ans, while the French have taken two
German trenches on the road from
Eshes to Haucourt. Numerous Ger
man attacks have been repulsed. Ber
lin reports that more than 1,300
French were taken prisoners and that
sixteen machine guns and eight can
non were captured in the region of
Le Mort Homme.
Northwest of the fortress the
French have taken from the Germans
the Haudremont quarries, which had
been strongly organized, and captured
eighty prisoners and four machine
guns. On the remainder of the front
the fighting has consisted mainly of
artillery duels and numerous combats
in the air. In the aerial fighting avi
ators of both sides were brought
down. >
Austrian Drive.
The latest Austrian official report,
dated Saturday and presumably refer
ring to fighting of the previous day,
records additional progress of the
Austrian armies against the Italians
m Southern Tyrol.
The Rome communication which
deals with the fighting of Saturday,
mentions an infantry engagement in
the Lagarina Valley, where the Aus
trians threw three large masses of in
fantry into the fray, but were driven
back with heavy losses. Another at-
tack between the Astico and Brenta
forces had a similar result Advanced
Italian posts repulsed another attack
in the Sugana Valley, but afterward
withdrew to their lines of support. The
Austrian artillery continues extreme
ly active at other points.
Except for German attempts for of
fensive against the Russians in the
lllouskst region and north of Lake
Ilsen, which were repulsed, there have
been only artillery duels on the Rus
sian front.
Two aeroplanes of the Teutonic al
lies have dropped bombs on Cairo,
Egypt, killing two and wounding thir
teen civilians and injuring five sol
diers.
