Measures to be Takes "ia Eradicate the Pest and Pr?vint Fever. If So far, no complaints have been heard a'Dout mosquitos this summer. While i'; ia expecting almost too much to hope that we shall escape this pest entirely this season, still we can greatly decrease the number by a little effort. By promptly putting out all tin cans, bottles, useless tin basins and other receptacles which hold wa? ter, after a rain, where the ^scavenger carts ein haul them off, instead of permitting them to remain in ya|ds where mosquitos breed, it will de? crease the'number considerably. Look closely after dry wells, which breed mosquitoes, by keeping kerosine oil or disinfectants in them. Keep tops of dry wells, closely closed. ' Do n?T allow water to remain in buckets or barrels or any where else. Factories, warehouses, depots and other places where barrels are kept full of water for fire protection, the water should be kept constantly covered with a thick coating of oil or disinfectants.. Fill up or drain any hole or low place where water remains after, a rain. Report any place where water remins in ditches or. drains to the health officer immediately. The Board of Heatlh has tried to get all tin cars and other things removed by having their officer call attention to this fait, and as a result a great many cart laods have been hauled off to the dump ground. It is of the ut? most importance to th? health of the community that every house, where it can bo done, be. protected by fiy screens, particularly kitchens, dining rooms and sleeping rooms. These screene keep out mosquitos and pre? vent inoculation by these insects with the germ of malarial fever. While rt is not a universally accepted fact that certain species of mosquitos are en? tirely rseponsiole for the spread of malari al fever, nevertheless it is be? lieved by a majority of physicians that tie mosquito, under certain con? ditions, is one of the most prolific agencies for the spread of this disease. The fly screen is also beyond doubt a great protection against typhoid fever, and as this disease is spread in this section principally by flies, it can' be easily seen where it will pay to screen an entire bouse for sanitary purposes, not to mention the comfort to be de? rived irom keeping flies, and mosquitos out of your house. One cas? of fever will cost a great deal more than screeni ng the entire house. Firemen's Tournament. The fire departments of this State have received invitations from the North Carolina State Firemen's asso? ciation to attend the annual convention of thi ?.association, to be held in Sal? isbury Auugst 2-5. The invitation ia signed by the president, Mr. Jas. D. McNeill, who attended the tournament held in Sumter several years ago and who in well known by Sumter firemen. The invitation states that in addi? tion to the regular state prize of 81,000, there will be prizes of hot less than $500 (8250 *acb) for inter-state hand reel and hose wagons contests. Woodmen Unveiling. The ceremonies incident to a Wood? men unveiling are always interesting ; they were peculiarly so on yesterday afters con, due to the excellence of the exercises and to the met that the cere? monies were .commemorative of a gen? tleman who lived in this city for so many years and who was so deserved? ly popular within and far beyond the city limits. Mr. T. B. Jenkins, the genial, th? jovial, and the time will long oe remembered among his many friends in this community. If any? thing were needed to show the appre? ciation in which he was held it would have been necessary only to be present at th 3 cemetery yesterday afternoon, to see i he large crowd of friends and sympathetic spectators who were gath? ered to witness the unveiling of & really beautiful monument erected to the memory of this beloved brother. Ul der the efficient directorship of the Consnl Commander, Mr.' C. M. Hufs ti every feature of the program was esecated without a hitch and there was lio featfcre that was not im? pressive. Dr. Brown's address was characterized by its suggestiveness and appropriateness. The following was the program,: "Consul Com. Ritual. Music by Band-On march to grave.

We ?,re now ready for reports of bolls, and Bret bales. In this connection we have noticed that the first bale of the new crop was reported from Texas about a week ago. Miss Laurie Harrell, of 'Bennetts ville, having declined a place in the Washington Street school to which she was elected by the City Board of Education, Miss Leona Jennings has been elected to fill the vacancy thus created in the school faculty.
