Dear Advertiser: We moved in from Fountain Inn and set up house keeping in our new home in Green wood yesterday. After spendiug the night with my old and strong friend, "Pony" Yeldell, we came in to begin straightening up. We were loathe to leave our many friends in Fountain Inn, but I was too far from my work, and hence moved closer by, hoping to be more useful. Will you kindly change my paper from Fountain Inn to this place. Have I writte n you that we are going to celebrate our 100th anni versary at Red Oak Grove church on 1st Sunday in June? We will have a sketch of the history of the church; then an address by your pastor, Dr. Jeffries, and also one by Dr. Cody of the Baptist Courier, and perhaps some additional remi niscences by others. We will be glad to welcome our brethren from far and near, and es pecially all former pastors. Come and be with us on that day. There will be dinner on the grounds. Fraternally, G. W. Bussey.

No Filth, No Flies. "Swat-tlie-fly" campaigns for 1912 are well on. The elimination of this filthy and dangerous insect is a desirable end. The house-fly, in addition to being a demonstrated agent in the spreading of typhoid, is strongly suspected, on more or less conclusive evidence, with rela tion to a large number of infections, including cholera, dysentery, infan tile diarrheas, diptheria, and con tagious ophthalmia. About a bil lion flies were killed in various cam paigns of 1911-a statement which seems impressive until one consid ers the number of flies which es caped the Slaughter. In Washing ton, D. C., alone, some 7,000,000 flies were killed by the "swat," the trap, drowning, sulphur fumes and even by electrocution. Dr. How ard of the Bureau of Entomology, points out that in the congenial cli mate of that city seven generations of flies may be produced in a single j summer. One female fly will lay ion an average a batch of 120 eggs; and if all these eggs from a batch I laid in April should hatch and re produce their kind in like manner, there would be by autumn, from a single female fly, a progeny of near ly six thousand billion. And as each female may lay four batches of eggs, the figures for their un checked development through a sum mer stagger the imagination. To iy sunshine i: ouneing with d. Laces sessories add ] ase. Lats, new trimi 3, embroidered them. 'Tis Mi .ea of their bei "swat the fly" by the billic-R, there fore, means little, says The Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, so long as those that survive have unchecked opportunity for breeding. There is evon more weight, therefore, in Stockbridge's statement that during 1911 filthy breeding places were cleaned up, which, if left alone, would have given opportunity for the propoga tion of incalculable billions. Bet te- iban "swatting" the fly is the prevention of its breeding by clean ing up the places where it thrives the unsanitary privy, the dead dog and horse allowed to lie unburied until putrid, the dung-heap, the un covered garbage can and the spit toon. How this can be done, can be learned from the health depart ments of many states and munici palities, and from civic leagues and like organizations. SUMMONS.

A lawyer was cross-examining an old German about the position of the doors, windows and so forth in a house in which a certain transac tion occurred. "And now my good man," said the lawyer, 1 will you be good enough to tell the court how the stairs ran in the house?" The German, for a moment, look ed dazed and unsettled. How do the stairs run?" he queried. "Yes, how do the stairs run?"
