TMt FLY AS A 6ERAH CARRIED i
Cities and towns throughout!
the couhtry are now waging in-1
telligent, systematic warfare |
against.the mosquito and the fly,
the greatest agencies for disseminating
disease germs known
t.O T aiiPOfitoi-'a Kaolfli I
Muuvnuv^i o ikVUitti 1
authorities will of course join in!
the fight against the pests. Some
idea o^ the marvelous bacteria
carrying capacity of the fly may
be gathered from the following,
taken fr;om the Charleston News
and Courier:
^ 'fhe faew York Evening World
1 says that the Merchants' AssociaV
\ tion of that city have organized
/ against the fly which is known in
the books as musca domestica.
One of these little beasts, it is
said, can lug around with him
something like 6,600,000 germs,
and without appearing to know
that he is loaded. A recent investigation
made at the Agricultural
Experiment Station at
Storrs, Connecticut, showed that
one blue liottle fly which was
submitted to the acid test was
proved to have 90.000 bacteria
behind his right ear. The mosquito
does not belong, it is explained,
to the fly class, that is
to say he does not carry around
with him quite so many bacteria
as the fly, but he is known to be
an expert in the way of picking
up yellow fever and typhoid fever
germs and distributing them
where they do the most harm.
The Evening World contains this
statement of a recent experiment
made at Storrs, Connecticut,
by Mr. W. M. Esten and
Mr. C. J. Mason, who took apart
one fly and after searching him
through and through found this
result:
"Acid bacteria, 7(15,000: rapid
liquifying bacteria, 280: slow
liquifying bacteria, 268,700: bacterium
lactis acid: 211,500, and
coliaerogenes, 533,800. From
only ninety-four swill barrel flies
the same pair of. investigators
obtained 155,000,000 bacteria;
another bunch of swill barrel
flies had tucked away in their
jeans something like 118.000.000
small germs. Some more or less
respectable flies had only 560
germs, but a good, husky fly of
a certain order was generally
found to carrv more than 6,000.000."
A New York alderman says
he learned to gamble after being
elected to office. Anderson Mail.
Moral: Keep out of office.
Now that we have waterworks
and a street sprinkler, let's go
after good pavements. What
say you, city fathers, to inaugurating
right now a movement for
permanent sidewalk improve
ment?
It is reported that a "settin' "
hen in Atlanta hatched out fiftythree
bottles of liquor, says the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Such
a l>ooze breeder must be worth a
princely fortune in a prohibition
State like Georgia.
A Chicago woman lias author-.
ized her pastor to offer $200 for a
/ husband who will come up to
7 certain specifications. Some peo-;
pie always want too much fori
their money; almost any sort of
husband would seem cheap at
* $200. Augusta Chronicle.
And yet there are some husbands
who are not worth thirty
cents.
The Lancaster News gave a
resident of that town a long pull
t>ecause he caught a big carp.
Down this way when a fellow
catches a carp he quietly slips it
hack and says nothing about it
Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
Which goes to prove that the
fool killer is sadly neglecting his

The idea of a sane man
cafccfrrng a good fish and then
putting it back in the water! By
the way, it was a "red horse"
weighing over fifteen pounds that
ot?r esteemed fellow townsman,
Mr. Brown Ferguson, caught,
and not a carp, as we erroneous- ]
ly stated. And while confessing,
we might as well "own up" to
another mistake unwittingly
made in the same article both
discovered since its publication.
That big fish was caught on the
* I
fork side of the Catawba, arid!b
lot 011 Lancaster's. We have a
itrong suspicion however, that!
it was really a Red Rose red .
horse just over on a' visit to its *'
White Rose kindred. r
The complaint is made that a *
tariff on pineapples will affect I
the breakfast table. Well, it l
won't affect the poor man's |j
breakfast table, at any rate. ? jj
Augusta Chronicle.
Right you are. It wouldn't,
for example, hurt editors and
niggers if pineapples were taxed '
a dollar apiece. 1
A powder has been discovered 1
that will kill a thousand mosqui- 1
toes per ounce, says the Augusta
Herald. There are two little ^
towns west of the Catawba that
should at once order a carload i
each of the wonderful powder. <
