Speaking of the aht?me and die. grace of the Colleton lynching the Baptist Courier Bays-/ r, t , ?'Through life these lyncher* must bear the guilt, and after death face this awful charge before the Judge of all the earth. ' It is an aw ful crime they have committed, un necessary, useless, and tbe slaying of the two does not bring back tile life of the one. The law which war transgressed in tho ilrat Instance is also trampled under foot in the se cond Instance, and human life which was cruelly taken in Hie first in stance in just as unlawfully taken in the seoond Inatance. It is great ly to bo regretted that a crowd of men, presumably all of them inno cent heretofore of bloodshed, should willingly commit this bloody deed, for the crime thoy have committed cannot In any sense lessen the grief and sorrow caused by tho firm wrong. Lychlng is a crime, it i? murder, and this second wrong will never, oau never, undo the flrot wrong." House Flies as Disease Spreaders. In former times it was the big things that froze men's hearts with fear ? the mythical giants, the drag ons, tho specters. Now science lias taught us that, tho littlo things are the dangerous ones ? the ineects, mosquitoes and flies, and the mi crobes. We first learned of tbe part the mosquito played in the transmission of malaria and yellow fever, but the menace that there is to mankind in the housefly was for long unsuspect ed. It is only about fifteen 5 ears ago that the first heeded -warnings were uttered against this insect and its actual guilt as a murdorer of men was clearly demonstrated only at tho time of tho Spanish war, when so many of the flower of American youth t'liert of typhoid fever that dec imated the volunteer army in the do tentlon camps in all parts of the oountry. So aotive is the fl/ in the ppread of this disease that it has been pro posed in a recent publication of tbe U. S. Department of Agriculture to rename It the "typhoid fly." It may carry the germs of this <Ha eaao io one of the two ways, either directly by soiling its foet wit.li the discharges ftorn fever patients and then flying off and alighting upon food or falling into milk; or eUc by eating matter contaminated with ty phoid, and carrying the genua in its intestinal canal and depositing them upon food. But It i* not &laae -typhoid Hint flies spread. The germs of tubercu losis may readily be carried hv thorn unless patient has heeded warnings sounded on all sidos and taken care to destroy all expectorated matter. The virus of a Bore may be taken up by a fly's feet and deposited on h out or abraded surfaco of the skin " - of another person. Any disease, in deed, which is capable of inoculation 0* of being snr?*d by the taking in I of Its gorms with food or drink may be spread by these noxious ih sects / '.v- 11 1 - ?

Naya Prohibition llat Worked The Wrong Way. Tbe following is from tl?? Florence Dally Time* and in published by re? quefet : "MrL James M. Allen, Jr.is in tlieblty to ?io btr brWtitri from New York and from the army, Mr Allen aaya that If one want* lo know what prohibition really Im they should visit Nortb Carolina now and see the praotioal workings and the do morulization of labor and business from the blind therein spite of the Pjnkerlon detective* that are em ployed to run them t,6 earth. Labor is demoralized because all the n? groeu can make more money a? blind tigers than by honest work, and waxes are too hif^h even if one can get a man or woman to work. lie nayw that there is more drunken nest) on the streets now than he ever saw in Ooldsboro before, and that the same is true of other tow us in the stale. The jug trains and express company are doing a big business. Hlxtyfive galloon of liquor in one day was counted a dull shipment for Ooldsboro, and more money is going out of the community now for liquor than ever before; Mr. Allen nays lit) in, and has al> ways been an advocate of prohibit tlou, but that he is convinced now that the passago of such a law un> supported by the real aentimont of the people, has worked for corrop tlnn and evil. Ho thinks likely that the State legislature may repeal it next time and give the people local option as they had before, and under which temperance seemed to be ad vaucing."

Miloage Regulation Upheld By Hines Upon the request of the Georgia State Railroad Commission, Special Attorney Junes K. Hines has given an interesting opinion in regard to the complaints made by the travel ing public as to the exchange of mileage book coupons for straight tickets at railway agencies. Attor ney Mines holds that the railroads' regulation for the presentation and exchange of coupons for mileage is entirely reasonable. Attorney Hines was asked by the Commission to furnish an opinion [upon the right of a common carrier to txpil a passenger, who had fail ed to comply with its regulation, requiring the exchange of mileage coupons for a ticket. Attorney Hines says that carriers of passengers may eject from their Conveyances all persons refusing to comply with reasonable regulations. He says that the present mileage book arrangement i? reasonable be cause the purchaser enters into a contract with the railway company Helling i be mileage book. One of the terms of the counsel is that coupon* from Ihese mileage books will not be honored on trains except at non-agency points or at station agencies not open for the sale of i lie tickets. The pusehaser, says Attorney Hines, g< is a reduced rate and he is hound by the terms of the spe cial contract. He sa\s in conclu sion tliht the arrangement has al leady been auhmitted to and appro ved by the State Railroad C<>ittmia nlon. ? Atlanta Journal, May 8th 1909, Administrators Notice.
