THE MOSQUITO CRUSADE. Tlie Way to be Free From The Pests is to Remove The Mosquito Nur? series on Tour Own Premises. Complaints of mosquitoes are made to the health department from some sections of the city, but most parti? cularly from portions of wards^ three and four. Wards one and two appear to be fortunately more free from the pests except in one or two sections, at least there have been less com? plaints from those wards. Strange to say in almost every instance where complaints were made the health offi? cer found that the parties making the com paints were responsible for the raising of mosquitoes on their own premises by allowing water to remain in vessels of various kinds, and the parties were very much surprised -when they were shown thousands of "wiggle tails" in horse troughs, tin pans, flower pots, barrels, chicken troughs, and "in one or two instances mosquitoes were found coming out of cess pools, or dry wells, where the tops had small ho^es or cracks which had not been noticed by the owners of the wells. Kerosine oil or disinfec - tants poured in tii>i?? dry wells will the mosquitos, but unless the tops ~ are so tight that mosquitos cannot get in and out these insects will certainly breed therein. Horse troughs, cow troughs and buckets and half barrels liiere the animals are watered should b? drained every other day and the *~-"wiggle tails/5 if there be any, scrub Svxi out thorou^nV otherwise when v -ter is again tu.??od in the mostjjr tos begin to grow again. Unless ev -;ery citizen will personally inspect his own premises very often to see wheth? er mosquitos are being raised thereon v ?nd closely lo I. after their dry wells or cess pools there will continue to be mosquitos. As a matter of fact, a great many T-cople, white and colored, do nei? le aow until told rK*t wiggle tails' ^ are embryo mosquitos. Tin cans also hold "water which breed mosqui? tos. Wh?e. mosquitos are not near as "bad here as they have been in former years, yet there are more than there would be if killed out The Diamond Cure. *The latest news from Paris is that hey have discovered a diamond cure or consumption.

Charleston,July 26.-After purchas? ing a site for $15,000 and actually he ginning the construction of its oyster cannery, the Independent Canning company has determined to dissolve the corporation on account of the ex? cessive tax and license law of the State, the full effect of which appears not to have been realized until the ac? tual building of the factory had been begun. There was a disposition among some of the stockholders to test the validity of the act and take the chances with refund of a part of the tax and license later on, but the ma? jority was opposed to making any fight against the State law-, and the dissolution of the corporation was the only alternative. The company was organized with a paid up capital of $40,000. Its opera? tion would have meant the payment of $5,000 in wages weekly in Charles? ton. The heavy tax and license are in effect only in Charleston and George? town counties. Strange to say, the bill which became a law was intro? duced by the Charleston delegation. The local branch of the big Gibbs Preserving company of Baltimore will operate its factory, but the local com? pany is crowded out by the high tax and license. RICHARD CARROLL'S SOX SHOT. An Accident Sundayy Afternoon at the Industrial Home. The 14-year-old son of Richard Carroll, the noted colored preacher and lecturer, was shot in the foot Sunday afternoon and the member had to be amputated. It seems that Barney Carroll and Benny Strobel, an inmate of the in? dustrial home conducted by Richard Carroll, were walking along towards a melon patch which had been so of? ten raided by thieves that it was nec? essary to maintain a guard. Young Carroll was walking in front and the other boy was following him with a loaded shotgun, which in some man? ner was fired and the load entered the left heel of the boy in front, tearing the foot practically oH. When Dr. J. H. Meir tosh reached the place he found that the leg would have to come off above the ankle and the boy was taken to the Taylor-Laru- hos? pital, where the operation was per? formed. The boy was said to be do? ing very well last night.-The State. Do We Want Winter Tourists in Sum? ter?. Mr. Edward P. Young, of Boston. Mass.,- has written Mr. T. S. Gregory to ask him if he can tell him how many winter tourists can be accom? modated in Sumter in private families as well as hotels and boarding houses. Mr. Young has suggested that it would perhaps be well to have photo? graphs taken of such rooms-and the furnishings as will be offered, and it is well also in some instances where parties have pretty . and attractive homes to cake photographs of the ex? terior of the house and ' the . front grounds, as very often the appearance of a house and the surroundings ap? peal to people. Prices for board are also wanted. The photographs of a number of pretty houses would be a good advertisement for Sumter and. might also possibly result in.a sale of the property at a good figure. The Chamber of Commerce has taken the matter up with: Mr. Young and . has sent him a .lot of information about Sumter as a suitable place " to winter.' Mr. Gregory has of late been sending oft quite a number of the Chamber of Commerce advertising phamplets to different people with whom he cor? responds in the envelopes containing business correspondence. About 15, 000 of these pamphlets have been dis? tributed broadcast over the United States of late in such manner, and the. city of Sumter has attracted the at? tention of many people in distant places. Anyone interested can consult with the secretary of the Chamber of Com? merce, to whom Mr. Gregory has re? ferred the matter. St. Petersburg.
