Ford coupe, bearing a Pennsylvania license, in passing the bus cut in too suddenly and struck the front wheel of the big car and threw the machine into tbe bank, causing a turn-over. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt. The passengers, however, missed their train at Greensboro. A member of the road police, who happen, ed along shortly after the accident, trailed the Pennsylvania car to Chestertown, where the driver was required lo give bail for his appearance later. Wake up, look up, gel up, clean and pay up.

up, of tbe deceased, lows: It again be'comes the sad duly of the Circuit Court for Caroline county to pause from its usual labors in memory of one who, for many years, waa a dia- tinguishad and useful citizen, member of this bar and of that of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, and officer of this court J. Kemp Stevens, who passed away peacefully at his home in Denton, on the 18th day of March, waa born on the 31st day of March, 1872, and so lived to be nearly fifty years of age. He was son of the late Charles Stevens, who was a prominent business man of Denton, and who died in 1896; his mother, Mrs. Susan K. Stevena, surviving him; one brother, Charles E.

Stevens, died on April 17th, 1917. Educated at the local schools and at St. John's College, Annapolis, Mr. Stevens at the age of seventeen became a deputy clerk of the Circuit Court for Caroline county, during the incumbency of the Hon. Luther H.

Gadd, (now deputy clerk of the Court of Appeals) and served as chief deputy under Clerks Edwin C. Fields, Charles. W. Hobbs and Thomas L. Day.

In 1909 he was elected clerk of the Circuit Court for a term of six years, being succeeded by the present State Senator, Lawrence B. Towers, in 1916, since which time he has prac- tjced bis profession with marked distinction and success. Mr. Stevens studied law under.the late Robert J. Jump, himself long a distinguished lawyer, and passed a brilliant examination when admitted to the bar in 1894.

A sound lawyer, he instinctively regarded his profession as a high calling, and gave prodigally from, his store of knowledge to all who appealed to him, the matter of compensation, being always to him a secondary slderation. To his fellow members of the bar he accorded freely his help and advice whenever called an extent that doubtless he was sometimes imposed upon. But it was aa clerk, and chief deputy, of the Circuit Court for Carolina county, that his services to the bench, the bar, and to the people shone most brilliantly. Without any purpose- of making comparisons it is only simple justice to say that this bar knows ot no one who has ever occupied a similar position in this State more competent to fill it, or more courteous and gracious in ita conduct In Mr. Stevens' death each member of this bar feels a deep personal toss, and respectfully suggests that this memorial be made a permanent record of this Court, and that after these exercises the Court, in respect to his memory, adjourn.

School Attendance For March. We are sorry to find so many of our boys and girls who attended school 100 days dropping out, writes an interested party. When a parent takes a child out ot school he should stop lo consider that he is wilfully depriving that child of its birthright When a parent "hires out a boy or girl" he is selling that child's birthright--an education--for money. Our State and counly so strongly realize the value of an education to the growing boy and girl that thousands of dollars aie appropriated annually that the poor man's child may receive that priceless possession free of charge. And still we parents fail to grasp this opportunity and allow our children to grow up in ignorance and have just cause lor saying, "Oh, if my parents had only sent me to school!" Guardians who have Stale children ought to stop to consider that these unfortunate children have already been deprived of parents and home, and why should we add more to their unfortunate condition by depriving them of an education? They can surely woik enough to reimburse us for this blessing.
