Kill Out the Ries.
Flies play-a. prominent , part iu:the
dissemination of disease. There are
no less than seven different varieties
of flies found in the houses, ninety
eight percent of which is the common
house fly. This is a medium sivsed.
grayish fly with its mouth parts
Spread out at the tips for sucking up
liquid substances. It breeds 'in de
composing matter of any kind, vege
table as well as animal, hence the
necessity of keeping the . premises
clear of any material'that n?r.y; ?-or:d
bly become "breeding places for the
annoying germ and disease carriers.
They subsist on all,vile and filthy
stuffs and then leaving this enter
directly the homes and alight on- the
food in the dining room, kitchen or
pantry.- leaving a trail of bacterla-bev
hind.
Clean Your Premises.
We earnestly, advise all citizens of
?his town and county to clean op
:here pr?lriises, especially- with a-view
:o promoting the health of the city
ivith the approach of summer and
Uso t?tb kill out mosquitoes.. Al! old
3n';and metal receptacles Which* may'
:ontain water, tr^sh ?and. rubbish of
ill kind and description should be
?emoved. A little kerosine oil put
nto water barrels/will prevent the
needing of the mosquitoes > and oil
mould also be placed' in drains for
:he same purpose. The matter of
'leaning up the premises and retuov
ng all collections of water is strong
y urged upon the householders.
Screeu the House.
There is only one method of pre
senting the flies entering the house
ind that is to have all the doors and
windows securely screened. The
Board of Health urges that every res
ident in the city, if it is possible,
shall secure these screens and use
;hem. A wre screen 16 mesh to the
inch is more satisfactory than one
14 mesh to the inch as mosquitoes
?an get through the latter and while
he house is boing screened it is just
is well to be protected against the
mosquitoes ot the same time.
('laMin's Chimes.
The teachers and students of Claf.in
University has presented that insti
tution with a chime of three sweet
Loned bells, which will chime the
hours as they pass away. This in
stitution is closing up another suc
cessful years' work under the admir
able management ol Dr. and Mrs.
Dunton, who have brought it up'to
a high state of efficiency.
Will Help Him.
The impression here is th.it Mar
tin's attack on -Heyward will make
new friend for the ex-Governor. Peo

ing, and if Martin keeps it tip he may
as w&l retire from tue race.
NOT SETTLED YET.
ST. MATTHEW'S FOLKS WANT A
NEW POSTMASTER,
But They Do Not Want the Location
of the Office Hiangod from Where
It Is Now.
The people of St. Mattahews seem
to be having some trouble about get
ting their postal matters adjusted.
The correspondent cf The News and
Courier says the postoffice situation
has been in anebulous and discord
ant condition for some time, but in
view of the personalities and local
dissentions involve? in the muddle
the correspondent has not aired the
town's grievances to the world. The
correspondent then goes on to say;
But matters have reached the point
where, it must he confessed, the pub
lic, welfare should be taken into ac
count, and the postoffice authorities,
though professed followers 01 a poli
tical party which cares and does
nothing for the South unless it brings
corn to the mills of thd "Grand Old
Party," should see to it that a halt
is called and matters be adjusted with
some semblance of consideration to
a suffering community.
After Mr. F. C. Cain vacated as
postmaster Miss Cora Elaesser was
placed in temporary charge. This
writer knows nothing and has not a
word to say against her, and she has
been conducting the affairs 01 the of
fice in a quiet, orderly -way, and has
not been concerned in any way with
the troubles incident to the situation.
" Mr. J. B. Prickett was first placed
in the position by John Capers, poli
ticial pie-dispenser, but changed his
mind after being shown some red-hot
Democratic: editorials in the Calhoun
Advance, the local paper. Mr. Lee
Cain was theu "booked" for the job
and his appointment sent to the Sen
ate as'reported to the newspapers.
Nothing more has been heard from
the matter, except that a few people
have been making a fight on him.
Mr. Cain was, and is, acceptable to
the community, and holds similar
Republican views to the other white
Republicans of the State. In the
meantime a postoffice inspector ap
peared on the scene to investigate,
it appears, the advisability of remov
ing the office from its present Idea
tion in the lower floor of the hotel
building to a vacant building owned
by Dr. L. "M. Able.
A petition was then circulated
among the citizens praying that it be
left where it now is. That petition
this correspondent is relia'bly inform
ed was signed by every white business
man in the town, as the present lo
cation is more accessible, and open
all hours until 10 P. M. for the con
venience^ of thOEe paying rent for
private boxes. There has been much
complaint in days gone by about the
office in private places, being closed
so early in the afternoons as to de
prive box renters of all advantages.
The postmastership being still in
the air the postmistress pro tern re
ceived a telegram yesterday ordering
her to remove her office at once to
the Able b?ilding. The bondsmen
telegraphed the postal authorities in
reply, refusing to malte the change
without an investigation. There are
various rumors as to the sincerity
and efficiency of the inspector who
came here, bat this writer has not
run down any of them, nor has he
anything to do with this discreditable
bickering and strife which has been
gping. on for some time. At the
same ' time this correspondent does
not hesitate to say that it is high
time for a settlement of these trou
bles, and nothing-more is asked than
that the patrons and business men
have some voice in a purely local
matter which concerns them only. i

WAS FIRED FR?M FORT SUMTER.
! _
Historic Cannon Rail Presented Na
tional Museum at Washington.
A dispatch from Washington to
The News and Courier says the Unit
ed States National Museum has just
received from Dr. Whe?tson Ford,
now residing in Washington, a forty
pound cannon ball, fired from Sumter
at the beginning of the engagement
on April 12, 1861, which marked the
opening of the civil war. In con
nection with the history of this shot,
Dr. Ford says:
"This cannon ball was fired by
Anderson from Fort Sumter on the
lim of Aprn, 1861. At the begin
ning of the fight Major Anderson gave
his attention to the floating battery,
which was moored in the cove at
Sullivan's Island, near the western
extremity, about a mile and a quar
ter from the fort. Three of his shots
struck the battery and rebounded
upon the sand bar, failing to pene
trate more than a few inches. I was
one of the surgeons of the hospital
at Mount Pleasant across the lagoon
hack of Sullivan's Island, and as
there was nothing to do, there being
no wounded, in company with a col
league, I visited the Island on the
13 Of April, and seeing these shot
lying in front of- the floating bat
tery on the sand bank, I caught up
one of them in my handkerchief and
brought it away, foreseeing its his
toric value. I then took the ball suc
cessively to Charleston and Aikert,
and thence to St. Louis, where it
remained until I brought it to Wash
ington. ? *
EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.
The first ihing to do in the case i-l
indigestion .or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the muscular walls of
the'intestines, so that they will care
for the food that is eaten. In no
ot^ier way can this be done as well
as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal. This restores strength to
the stomach muscles and Simulates
the pouring out of gastricrfluices, so
that the food digests readily and its
nourishment is retained in the sys
tem to build up energy and vitality.
Use Mi-o-na and you will have no
more sick headache, heartburn^bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue,
spots before the eyes, sleeplessness
and the many other symptoms that
are the direct result of indigestion.
J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co. gives
with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na a
guarantee to refund the money unless
