Big Bridgewater Development May Now Be Held Up. Charlotte Observer. That work on the part of con tractors at the big two million dol lar dam at Bridgewater for the Southern Power Company may be tied up for months, oending court decision, is the latest information to reach Charlotte, as an aftermath of the floods which devasted por tions of North Carolina. Ex Lieu tenant Governor W. D. Turner of Statesville, who is largely interest ed in the big mill at Monbo, so badly damaged, it is claimed, by the breaking away of the dirt arm of the dam at Lookout Shoals, de clared yesterday that he would ap ply for an injauction restraining the Southern Power Co; from build ing the proposed storage dam at Bridgewater. Contractors have^ been in Char lotte conferring with the agents for companies making explosives and other material needed for such work, and the general understand ing has been that the Bridgewater dam would be well under way in the very near future. Suit is also being prepared by the former Lieutenant Governor against the Southern Power Company for dam ages to the Monbo Mill as a result of the breaking away, it is alleged, of the earthen or soil arm of the dam, which is claimed to have re leased the water that caused so much damage at the Turner Mill. The extent of this suit for damages is not known and the former Lieu tenant Governor refused to state what the amount of claims would be. But the Bridgewater proposition for storage purposes is a big one, entailing an exnenditure of more than two millions of dollars, it is said, and originally intended for storage purposes. The land has al ready been purchased and the water rights adjoining. Mt. Turner de clares that the mill owners south of Lookout Shoals are very much opposed to the construction of any more dams on the river, and that if it \9 known that dams are to be continued there, the fact will inter fere with the credit of mill men in procuring enough money to rebuild and resume operations. Whether this matter will get to the courts of course is a question. The right of hydroelectric power corporations to interpose barriers in a stream are well defined, and at the same time the rights of pro perty owners residing below such barriers in case of damage result ing therefrom are likewise well defined. There is a phase just here that if property owners residing on a stream can go into the courts and get injunction against other inter ests putting dams across a river above them, then this would tend to interfere if not absolutely to eliminate all waterpower develop ment. Whatever may be the outcome further developments along this line will be of supreme interest throughout this section. One lesson which is to be learn ed from the devastation of sections of Western North Carolina is that increasing attention must be naid to the preservation of our forests. The mountain sides denuded of trees are menace to both life and property. The conservation of our forests is a thing which deserves full consideration.—Raleigh News & Observer.

The question, Who should be vaccinated against typhoid fever? has recently been answered by a noted physician of this country. He says all who come under the following heads should be vaccinat ed against typhoid as their positions largely increase their chances for contracting it: Drummers and railroad men; all vacationists, es pecially campers, people who travel much; practicing physicians and nurses; all people who live in towns and small cities; people who live in the country; people who live in a town or community where typhoid is epidemic; people who eat at vari ous hotels and restaurants; people who have no means of knowing whether their food has been free from flies and filth; and finally all people who have not big bank ac counts or who have loved ones de pendent on them. The doctor does not say as much but he evidently means to include the whole world for fear somebody will wilfully be left out. He does not want the responsibility laid at his door if some one should excuse himself from the above list and should contract typhoid fever and die. Another doctor who does not want to be responsible for any per son’s remaining unvaccinated and contracting typhoid fever and per haps dying says that there are only two classes of people whom he does not advise to take the treatment— the dead and those who have al ready been vaccinated. Happiness and Its Shadows. WllmlDgton Dispatch. The great purpose of life is hap piness—at least the nearest ap proach to it that is possible. It is for happiness that we toil, aspire, cultivate ourselves, lov^, marry, accumulate property and perform all the wholesome duties of life. Yes, too, it is for happiness that we loaf, cheat, lie, steal and com mit all sins and crimes. There is no other ultimate aim known to the human mind than happiness. Our conception of happiness deter mines our lives. There is the true happiness, the substance, and the false happiness, its shadow. The one lures us upward, through no ble endeavors. The other is a mocking will o’ the wisp that leads us into morasses of disappointment. Are you getting the genuine ar ticle, or a spurious imitation? There is this to be remembered: Gentiine happiness does not cost anywhere near as much as the false variety. Perhaps the only one really to be envied, and yet the one least ^nvied, is the one whose ideals are humblest and best fit into the heart. For true happiness consists not in the multiplication of material wants, but in the sim plification of them^ True happi ness lies not in what the eyes may see, the ears hear, the palate taste and the hands hold, but in the soul fulness that senses these things.
