The manses of the people are just opening their eyes to the danger of the apparently harmless house fly For years scientists and physicians have sounded the alarm but for a long time their admonitions fell as seed upon stony ground. However, people are now waking up and re alizing that there is more than a modicum of truth in all that has been said and written concerning the fly nuisance. The state board of health is calling attention to the great danger arising from mosquitoes and the house fly, from which the following is nn ex tract: "See the fly! "Where? Most everywhere, t Upstairs, downstairs, in my lady's chamber; out of doors, in doors, on baby's face and lips; in the milk, on your tooth brushes and picks; on baby's nipple and teeth ing ring; in the syrup and jam. Also in the privy, pig-pen and stable; on baby's diaper and nose; dining in a consumptive's spittle cup, sampling syphilitic sores; the advance agent for Typhoid & Co.; the greatest disgrace of our time. The house fly is of no earthly use; it is a constant menace to the health of this nation, so mueh so that it has been cf.lled the"Typhoid fly"by an eminent entomologist. Among the diseases spread by this insect are consumption and tuberculosis, typhoid fever, infectious bowel troubles, such as diarrhoea and dys entery, 'suppuration or "festering" of wounds and abrasions, summer diarrhoea of children, Asiastic chol ,era and others. Finally, the insect may actually infest human beings, living in wounds or diseased mucous surfaces, or in the bowel; in the lar val or maggot form. These disease are all transmitted in the particles of filth which cling to the hairy body and legs of the fly these particles, consisting of human or animal excrement, pus, blood or decaying food, may contain the germs of the various diseases nam ed. The excrement of the fly, the familar ''fly specks.''has also ibeen fotin<4 to contain living ?ilen germs which had been fed previous ly to the insect and had passed through its alimentary canal with out losing vitality or virulence. The heavy death rate from ty phoid and diarrhoeal diseases among our soldiers during the war with Spain was due chiefly to the agency of the fly rather than to the bad beef, of which so much has been printed. In one of the large camps of soldiers lime-covered flies were commonly observed crawling over the food on the men's table; the lime carne from the open latrines used by the men. It is estimated that 5,000 infant deaths every year in New York City are lue to house flies. What the yearly total for our state is can only be 'magintd. Physicians now recognize the fact that the fly is a more common and more certain vehicle for typhoid fever than either water, milk or food. Aside from its crimes against health laws, the fly is a violator of all laws of decency and cleanliness. Its unspeakable, loathsome filth is alone sufficient to make its destruc tion an imp?.ative, uni\ et sal necessi ty. The best way to abate the fly nuisance is to prevent the breeding of flies rather than to attempt the destruction of the full grown insects. The female house fly lays her 120 eggs in horse manure preferably, but any filth will do if it be warm and moist. The possible alternatives arc the excrement of human beings and of animals, decaying vegetable and animal matter, collections'of trash and garbage. The larvae or maggots emerge from the eggs in eight hours. In five days they are transformed into thc pupa. In five days more the adult insect leaves the breeding place. About twenty broods are possible in a si..gie warm season iii the latitude of South Caro lina. The time of breeding may be prolonged by cold weather. A great many flies are killed by winter cold, but a great many hi bernate during the winter in out houses and in dwellings, in dark, warm corners, in folds of clothing, etc. With the first warm days of spring these lay their eggs. A ten day period of warmth and sunshine hatches out this firsi: brood, and we have these sudden swarms of flies which are so familiar and so annoy ing after the first warm spell of March or April. Keep always in mind, therefore, that flies and filth belong together. Filth is necessary for the propaga tion and breeding of the fly. In the absence of filth there will be no CLEORA SCHOOL CLOSED. Acreage of Corn Increased. School Doing Thorough Work. Four Aged Vet erans Well Again. Cotton planting is about finished and corn is being planted. That which was planted early has come up to good stand. More corn is being planted this year with better prepa ration, and more fertilizing than ever has been before in this com munity. Grain crop is small on account of lack of rain. Nearly every one has a patch of wheat sown. The Brunson school taught by Miss Nellie Hill and Miss Carrie Collins closed on the 21st of April. When it comes to thorough work, we don't believe there is a better school in the county. When the special tax which was voted last fall becomes available next term, we hope to run eight months instead of six as now. Mrs. Susan Brunson, Capt. J. C. Williams, Mr. Gip Seigler and Mr. George Broadwater, four of about the oldest people in this neighbor hood have been sick, but are better now. Mr. Joe Brunson of Aiken, is to spend this week visiting his broth ers, and fishing on Turkey Creek, (mostly fishing.) Subscriber. Capacity of Edgefield Mill's Ginnery to be Doubled. A meeting of the directors of the Beaver Dam Mills was held Saturday L. W. Parker and Thos. F. Parker of Greenville were the only out-of town directors present. The presi dent, Lewis AV. Parker, stated in his report that while the mill's bal ance sheet for the year showed no net profits, it had made as good showing as the average cotton mill in the state. The physical condition of the property is excellent, con siderable improvements having been made during the year. The outlook is much more encouraging for the coming year. The Beaver Dara property, which is now a part of the Parker syn dicate or merger, is unique in that a large oil mill is operated in con nection with the cotton mill. Not withstanding-the very unfavorable conditions of the past season, the oil mill made a very satisfactory net profit, probably more than many other oil mills in the state. It was decided at the meeting Saturday to double the capacity of the ginnery, so as to be able next season to de liver a farmer's cotton to him in 20 minutes after his wagon arrives, in stead of f Drcing him to wait a half day or mo.e, as has frequently been the case in the past. flies. The remedy is obvious-clean up, screen up, and keep clean and keep ci-^an and screened. Since flies do not travel more than a few hundred Tyards in horizontal, not a hundred feet in vertical dis tance, each man is responsible, usually, for his own flies and their breeding places. Houses should be screened, especially kitchens, pan tries and dining room. All meat and fruit shops should be screened, and screened windows and doors must not be allowed to become broken or stand open. All openings to privies should be screened, including the ventilating holes and the opening at the back. The seat openings should have tight fittting covers, which should be kept on. Five per cent carbolic acid solution should be kept in the pail or tub at ali times. Stable manure should be removed at least once weekly, along with refuse, garbage and filth from the yard. A properly built manure closet would have a tight door opening inside through which the manure from the stalls should be passed daily. An opening outside the stable would permit of removing the contents at regular in tervals. Both doors should be fly tight and the ventilator tube should have a cap of wire gauze. All garbage cans and trash boxes should be screened or have tight fitting covers, which should be kept on." Cesspools and manure pits should be screened and contents covered with, 5 per cent crude, car bolic acid or compound solution of creso. In the household flies may be trapped, killed with wire gauze paddles, caught on sticky paper, poisoned or killed by fumes of in sect powder or sulphur. A good and cheap poison is made by adding a teaspoonful of forma lin to a pint of water. Place this in a dish on a window sill and darken the room. The flies will drink the mixture, die and may be swept out. Dining rooms and kitchen should be kept darkened when not in use, as flies love the light, and will not enter a dark room.

Blue Eyes. Aged Sows the Best For Breed ing. An investigation at the Iowa Ex periment Station to discover the in fluence of the age of sows upon their prolificacy and the weight and growth of the pigs they produced, gave some interesting results. It was found, for example, that 15 sows bred at 8 or 9 months averaged 7 2-3 pigs per litter, while 14 sows about 24 months old averaged 9 6-10 pigs per litter, and aged sows averaged 10 6-10 pigs per litter. Pigs from the younger sows weigh ed on an average 2.39 pouuds per pig; from the two-year-old BOWS 2.63, and from the aged sows 2.61 pounds. When about six weeks old the pigs fi om the young sows made an average daily gain of .32 pounds, while the pigs from two year-old sows gained .40 pounds. No data is given on the gain of the pigs from the aged sows Stated in another way, it was found that the two-year-old sows farrowed 24 per cent, more pigs than the young sows, while the old sows farrowed 30 per cent. more. The weight of the pigs from the two-year-old sows was 9 per cent, greater than that of the young sows while the pigs from the old gows were 12 per cent larger than from the young sows. The pigs from the two-year-old sows made a more rapid gain than those from the young sows, amounting to 26 per cent. In each instance the older sows farrowed more pigs per litter, heavier pigs at the birth, and their pigs made the most rapid growth after birth.- Swine in America. How to Get Rich.

The regular service at Trinity church Sunday morning had as a fitting and very beautiful culmina tion or climax the unveiling of the window recently erected to the memory of the lamented Col. James T. Bacon. Apropos of the occasion, the rector, Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse, read as the morning lesson the narrative of the Good Samaritan. After making an effect ive contrast between the proud and haughty Pharisee who passed the unfortunate man and the Samaritan who not only poured oil and wine upon his wounds but earned him to an inn, Mr. Shannonhouse spoke at length of the treatment that our neighbors should receive at our hands. During the course of his re marks Mr. Shannonhouse stated that nowhere in the world does there exist a town or community in which the people manifest a more genuinely charitable feeling than they do here in Edgefield.Iie referred in most appreciative terms to the very cordial and kindly treatment that he has received at the hands of the people of Edgefield during the five years that he has resided among them. lu closing his discourse of the morning, Mr. Shannonhouse referred in a most tender manner to the life of his lriend and neighbor, Col James T. Bacon, which exemplified the truths taught in the narrative of the Good Samaritan. At this juncture, little James Bacon Sharp ton, the grand nephew and God-son of Col. Bacon, advanced to the chancel rail/and drew the cord that gently lowered the curtain that hitherto veiled the beautiful memo rial window that has been erected as a fitting monument to the memory of Col. Bacon. In casting about for a subject for the windowjthat of the Good Samari tan was chosen as being fittingly symbolic of the very generous and wholly unselfish life of Col. Bacon. Possessing a charming personality and inherent gifts of the highest order, affluence and world-wide fame were easily within his reach, yet he chose rather to remain in the beloved village of his nativity in comparative obscurity where, like the Good Samaritan, he could pour oil and wine on the wounds of his friends and neighbors, than to lo cate in larger fields where full play could have been given to his talent, bringing a proportionate return of wealth and renown. The surpassingly beautiful window is the handiwork of artists in Mu nich. The three figures, that of the unfortunate man who is being min istered to by the Samaritan, with the Levite standing a little to the rear,are strikingly defined by the har monizing of very rich coloring. In the background can be seen the city of Jerusalem. A more beautiful subject could not have been chosen, nor could its truths be more effectively portrayed in pigment and glass. The only inscription the window contains is: "In loving memory of James T. Bacon." The friends of Col. Bacon, whose memory shall ever be cherished in Edgefield, esteemed it a sad, sweet privilege to attend this simple, yet beautiful, unveiling service. The window will be blessed or dedicated when the Bishop next visits Trini ty church. The Right Way. The negro boy was up for the fifth time on a charge of chicken stealing. This time the magistrate decided to appeal to the boy's father. "Now, see here, Abe," said he to the darky, "this boy of yours bas been up in court so many times for stealing chickens that I'm tired of seeing him here." J "Ah don't blame you, sah," re turned the father. "Ali's tired o' seein' him here, too." "Then why don't you teach him how to act. Show the right way and he won't be coming here." "Ah has showed 'im de right way, sah," declared the old man, earnestly. "Ah has suttenly show ed 'm de right way; but he some how keeps gettin' caught comin' away wid dose chickens!" A Schemer.

Church Wedding 'of Surpassing Loveliness. Reception at Senator Tillman's Home of Matchless Elegance. Who dares say that it were not a happy day for our country,our com mon country, when the lines divid ing the North and South were ob literated? Added to other evidences that have been discernable on every hand for a decade or more, are the darts of Cupid, which, as so many straws, unmistakably point to an amelioration on the part of the peo? pie of both sections-in short a change, an abiding change, of sentiment. The people of every section are coming to know and un derstand each other better, and, as a result of this more intimate knowl edge and association, are formed ties of friendship that hitherto did not exi?l. And following those of friendship come stronger and more enduring ties that make one of twain-an indissoluble union. It portends well for the people of the North and South, once so decid edly antipodal, when members of families so positively typical of their respective sections are brought into very close relations through marital ties. Yes, lor these reasons and others, the marriage of Miss Margaret Malone TiWman, the el dest daughter of Senator and Mrs. B. R. Tillman, and Mr. Charles Sumner Moore, a leading young attorney of Atlantic City, N. J., should be a cause for genuine re joicing. This happy occasion easily eclipses all former weddings of his toric old Edgefield county. Not on ly was it planned on a larger and grander scale than any former so cial event-without the semblance of ostentation or guadiness-but every detail was faultlessly carried out-both at the church and at the reception. The marriage was held in the Church of Our Saviour,which under the direction of Mrs. Albert Miller, assisted by other devoted friends of the bride, was completely transform ed by the great profusion and artis tic arrangement of ferns, smilax roses and lilies. The entire recess chancel ' was draped in white, and the graceful festooning of evergreens togtther with a lavish intermingling of roses upon the snow-like background caused the assembled friends to feel for the time as if they had been transported to Fairyland.The beauty of this very enchanting scene was greatly en hanced by the soft silvery light which beamed smilingly down from scores of candles which were arrang ed in pyramids on either side, one tier above another. While the guests were assembling Mrs. Isham Richardson, of Athens, Ga., presided at the piano and sev eral vocal selections were beautiful ly rendered by Miss Frances Starke, of Abbeville; Miss Smith, of Wash ington, D. C.; and Miss Gussie O'Neal, of Atlanta. Immediately upon the arrival of the bridal party a quartette, consist ing of Miss Smith, of Washington, Mr. Henry C-Tillman of Green wood, Miss O'Neal of Atlanta, and \ Mr. Isham Richardson, of Athens) advanced up the aisle singing Lo hengrin's bridal chorus. Next came \ the ushers, Mr. John Cates, of J Philadelphia; Mr. J. Gordon Hughes, of Union; Mr. B. R. Till man, Jr., and Mr. Benjamin W. Bettis of Trenton. Following closely behind the ushers were the attendants: Miss Sophie Oliver Tillman with Mr. Henry Wise Hughes, Miss Adeline Har riette Hughes with Mr.Nelson Burr Gaskill, of Trenton, N. J., Miss Alice Morse Tower, of Boston with Mr. John W. Coles, of Philadel phia, Miss Sarah Jenkins Lee, of Abbeville, with Mr. Warren Ed ward Love of Morristown, N. J. . The matron of honor, Mrs. Henry C. Tillman, a sister-in-law, of the bride, entered alone and was fol lowed by the maid of honor, Miss Sallie May Tillman, the youngest sister of the bride. Upon the arm of her distinguished father, Senator B. R. Tillman, the bride entered, being clad in an' exquisitely beauti ful gown of duchesse satin with long court train. The bride carried a shower bouquet of Bride's roses and lilies. The groom advanced to the altar from the vestry, accompanied by his best man Mr.Errington Burn ley Hume, of Charleston. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse rector of the Church of Our Saviour,the beau tiful and impressive Episcopal ceremony being used. After leaving the church two hundred or more guests representing all parts of the country, as well as all sections of our county and state, assembled at (Continued on page 4.) CITADEL BOY WON. Ashley Merrimon, Former Edge field Boy, Now a Citadel Cadet, Won First Honor In Contest The annual state inter-collegiate oratorical contest was held at Greenwood Friday night last, there being niue young gentlemen to en ter the contest, representing nine colleges of the state. The winner of the first honor was Ashley. C. Merrimon, who, with his mother and brothers, resided in Edgefield and attended school here several years. His Edgefield friends are greatly rejoiced over his signal vic tory. Ashley is now a member pf tlu junior class at the Citadel, where be is making a splendid re cord as he did in the graded school here. In reporting the oratorical con test, the Greenwood correspondent had the following to say of young Merrimon: Mr. A. C. Merrimon was bom at Ellenton, S. C., on June .27, 1892. He attended school at Edgefield and at Orangeburg, and afterwards mov ed to Sumter, where during the summer of 1908 he tried for a scholarship to the Citadel, which he won, and is now in the junior class of that institution. He is a nephew of Senator Lee S. Overman, of North Carolina, and a grandson of the late Senator and Chief Jus tice A. S. Merrimon, of that State. He has made a good record for him self at the Citadel. Taking as his subject, "The Moral in Politics." Mr. Merrimon said in part as follows: "There are other ways of showing patriotism and unselfish love for country besides dying a glorious death on the battlefield, or abiding by one's government with unswerv ing loyalty. Such actions are well but the man who stands forward be fore humanity and before God as the real patriot, the real statesman, the real hero, is he who will oppose even his country's government if he sees that it is pursuing a wrongful course, and that by its subversion there will be done a service to his country and to humanity. '"The corruption and vice existing today in our politics is a hideous blot on-the fair name of America, and if it does not cease anarchy and chaos will inevitably follow. His tory shows that the nations of the past, not founded upon ethics, mor ality and religion, have failed to endure, and unless we remedy our political evils I belieye that Old Glory will cease to wave over the land ef the free and the home of the brave. "What we need to-day is Chris tan leadership. Let us rear a few more Jeffersons and Madisons and Calhouns, and then will our nation take on new 'ife, and this grand old Republic will loom up before the nations of the world as a mighty monument to the principles of equi ty and justice." No Use for Them. An Alabama editor who has no occasion to visit in Tennessee, any how, prints the following: "A wo man in a Tennessee town recently gave a 'white elephant party,' to which each of her eighteen guests was required to 'bring something for which she had no use, but couldn't well dispense with." Eleven of the eighteen brought their husbands." A Cool Send Off. A young couple appeared not long ago in a prayer-meeting in a Middle West town and requested the minister to marry them. The service was interrupted to oblige them, and after the ceremony they took a front seat while the regular meeting was resumed. A hymn was then given out that had evi dently not been selected with this incident in view. The opening line said: "Deluded souls that loot for heaven, "j Ordination Service. An all day meeting will be held at Berea next Sunday, dinner being served at the church. In the fore noon tho annual missionary sermon before the woman's missionary so ciety will be preached by Rev. J. H. Thayer of Ridge Spring. In the afternoon two deacons will be ordain ed. Up to this time we have not been informed as to who will preach the ordination sermon, all who at tend the services at Berea Sunday will spend a pleasant as well as profitable day.
