Homes Can Re Perfectly Screened at i\ Small Cost, (T. M. McHonough, in Progressive' Farmer. > I have no! been troubled In my home with Hies or mosquitoes for a long time, and want others to know how easily they may bo freo from the annoyance of these il 11 li y and dangerous pests. I have a live-room house with from and back doors and eight win dows. The trout, door screen i bought al a total cost of $1.76, as 1 wanted tho front of the house to look as well as 1 could afford. The back door is seven feet hy two and a half feet and the windows six feet by two and a half foot, ex cept a pantry window, which ls somewhat smaller. The Hist thing I did w i- to meas ure the space on the OL' .de of lite sash, just inside of Hie face of- tho casing, for a frame thal would cover the whole window. The advantage of a full-length screen is that it does not interfere with the raising ol' the lower and dropping ot' Hie upper sashes, and is fly-proof. I never learned carpentering, but I took pieces of (dd boards and boxes, out of which 1 ripped and 'hen planed ?? Vis-inch for the side; and lop and ?1 Vis-inch strips for tho hoi toni, with a cross-piece in center three inches wide. The back door frame was made Hie same way, lon proportion al (dy ilea vier. The wire was fastened on. extend ing one-hall' indi or more beyond tho sides and ends of opening, with tacks 'ive or six Inches apart. To make the job look nicer, a small, Hat strip was nailed all round to cover the edge of Hie wire and across in the centerpiece. I marked each frame on the edge with a chisel, using Roman numer als, and put the same mark on the window rasing so as to h nv no trou ble in titting the screens each year. I used lid feet ol' 28-tncll screen wire, eight pairs ol' plain hinges for windows, spring hinges and hook for hack door, making total cost in money as follows: Front door, complete.$1.7fj Screen wire . 1.95 Window hinges (ff ?lc. pair... .'-'I Door hinges and hook .I ii Total .$4.09 Each fall when 1 lake them off. before putting away. I give tin- wire a coat ol' linseed oil and lampblack, having coated tho frames when made with same mixture. My screens have been in use live years and aro as good as new.

Now York, July 26.-Solution of tho Intricate plot that brought the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, to his death that he might not toll more secrets of relations between the po lice and gamblers, scorns near at hand. This ls tho belief to-day of Deputy Police Commissioner Dough erty, who prepared to give the "third degree" to Frank Clropici, who the commissioner says ls none other than "Dago Frank," one of tho slayers of Rosenthal, Clropici was taken Into custody late last night along with his "girl," Rose Harris, and a man named Abra ham Lewis. All had been smoking opium, and hours of questioning by Commissioner Dougherty failed to elicit any definite information from Clropici, for the fumes ol' thc drug still befuddled his brain and he talk ed lu meaningless phrases. He mum bled that ho knew nothing about the shoot lng. Clropici did admit that lu* knew Harry Horowitz, otherwise known as "Gib, thc Blood," and that he knew Lewis Rosenburg, or "Lefty Louie," both of whom are wanted as slayers of Rosenthal. Shapiro Confesses. Tho confession of William Shapi ro, tho dian ff OUI' of Hie "murder car," lias supplied Commissioner Dougherty and District Attorney Whitman with many missing pieces of evidence. Commenting on Hie progress made, District Attorney Whitman said: "I am certain now that every man that had a part In the slaughter ot' Herman Rosenthal will be brought to justice. From having no case at all a lew days ago, I could get Indict ments against four or live to-day if I had to." Tho public prosecutor says lie has smashed the alibis of "Bald Jack" Rose, ot' "Bridgie" Webber, and of Harry Wilson. Police Revelations. Tile investigation liv the grand jury into Hie relations between gam blers and the police is proving more than satisfactory to District Attorney Whitman. The testimony of Lieut, Costigan, known as the "honest cop," lias created a sensation in police cir cles. Costigan flatly declared that lie did not believe and gambling Bouse could remain open without, po lice? protection. He said the gamb ling squad took orders from Police Commissioner Waldo and no one else. Detectives are scouring the city tor a mysterious member of the shooting party that was picked up by the '?murder car" at "Bridgie" Webber's place. Shapiro, in his con fession, said this stranger was (lie men who, after the killing, strolled back to the car with a smoking re volver in his hand, MOTH RR FAILS TO SA VF SON.

The youth was stricken several weeks ago. His a ill ict ion took the form ol' mysterious blood ibsorption that left him weak.

"I am strong, and my blood will make bini well again." So the process of transfusion was begun. Fach day Mrs. Clover was strapped on an operating table, close lo lu r son. An artery in one of her arms was slashed, a tube was Insert ed into Hie wound, then it was di rected into the ann artery of Hie sick boy.

Jefferson, Texas, July 18-Editor Keowee Courier: As an old news paper man I am generali Interested in all disseminating publications, and tho kindest feelings aro always entertained for the journalistic craft. I am becoming familiar with your paper, as lt makes Its weekly visits at the Jefferson Hotel here to a subscriber who was formerly a citizen of Walhalla, and 1 assure you that its contents are devoured with the avidity of one devoted to the memory of old friends and an instinct to review past associations that impress one with thc fondest recollections. Though a veteran in the journal istic fold, your paper carries its Of? years with the vigor and vitality of youth, and evidently holds a high place In the role it vouchsafes to as sume in newspnperdoin. Tho evi dent liberal patronage accorded the paper, its easy manner of eliminat ing complications, and its faculty for discerning the eternal fitness of things journalistic, gives it an elas tic galt alongside of the average competitor aspiring to high attain ments. Texas can boast of some promi nent newspapers also, but in point of age tho Mississippi States carry the highest volumes, because, when Texas was struggling in its swad dling (dollies and aspiring to print legibly with primitive plants, the old States had reached thc zenith as it were in newspaperdom, and pos sessed all the facilities to promote perfection, which later canto to Texas with a rapidity that marked lt a prodigy and made it proverbial for the lofty journalistic attainments in tho face of its adversities and rude facilities. But I am digressing. We have sonni communities In Marion county here composed al most exclusively of South Carolin ians nudity of them having been here so long that they are fully "ac climated" in all that the term Im plies. The Orubbs, Pruitts, Fants, Simmons, Kays, and others are fain lies ot* fine records, and such lofty .itizenship as they represent ls a Itstlnctlve mark of credit to the ?hate of their nativity, and it ls pro verbial here that "our" South t'aro inians po.'sess all the eminent traits >f the old regime, and are proud as scions ol* a distinguished "race" to Irst resent the "oven acts" and en iroachmonts of the enemy in '61, md lay the foundation ot" a proud and of freedom and culture. How ever, the heroic South failed to ac ion! pl Ish tho desired fruition, and ?ar, long since accepted tho fated dtuatlon iii a spirit of utter res ig nition--and here we are, remitted, nippy and prosperous with our inag lanimous friends, the erstwhile en Mny.

All Drag Stortt, Would Devolve County Commission ers' Duties Upon Them.v Westminster, R. P. D. No. 2, July 24.-Editor Keowee Courier: Some time ago I wrote a letter about the rural police. Since then we have had ono In our district. I don't know what the others are doing, but Mr. Mason, the policeman In this terri tory, is busy. Ile has made money for the county, and has helped this community in getting rid of a lot of lawlessness. I seo bu' two things wrong. One ls that we need moro policemen, and the other ls that the law does not give magistrates enough power. There are a number of cases that ougl t to be tried by tho magistrates and settled without so much court expense. I think we ought to abolish tho ofllec of county commissioner and elect, or let tho grand jury hire, one rural policeman for each township ami put tile roads under his care, sol when he linds a tree across the road or a hole that needs llxing he can get tho mau who lives closest to lt to do tho necessary work, paying him for the actual time put In. We all want better roads and are willing to pay for them, but we don't want our money wasted. If we had elghl rural policemen working nuder the sheriff and su pervisor, putting in ten hours a day, and having the hearty co-operation of the citizens to suppress lawless ness and see that the roads wore kopt in good shape, we would not have such large court expenses and blacksmith bills to pay. Some one will say that we are pay ing two much taxes now. Well, I admit they are high for what we get in return, but if we lind eight rural policemen and paid them $840 each per year the taxes would be no higher, for the fellows who carry pis tols and knucks and sell whiskey on the rivers and out In tho woods would pay all expenses, and a good deal more to help tlx the roads. I think the roads should be resur veyed where needed and made wider, so when a person who is afraid of I automobiles meets one he can got out of the way. Three years ago wc! had one or two automobiles in Oco-j nee; to-day we have over IOU; ten years from now we will have many more. So let's get ready for pleas ant ruling.
