The people of (leorgia do not think the governor measured up U> \vhat they had expccted of him. Hut South Caro linians have no ground to criticize (leorgla's governor ko long as we have a T.

The Oeorgla governor has done a great deal towards Inviting mot) Violence In hit* state, There will he an election held on the 14th of September on the ipicsHop of Slate-wide prohibition. At Ibis election It will bo necessary to pro duce your registration certificate and fax receipt In order to vote. Kycry citizen of the county should Vote on thlai question, and it Is a good Idea to get your certificate ? lie first opportuni ty. It Is pretty generally admitted that the slate will vole for prohibition by a good majority, but all those op posed to the sale of whiskey should not allow themselves to feel too sure over the question* luit should he cor tain to Vote, it is a question about which we cannot afford lo take any chances. , The postmaster at Nashville. .

Help to Kill The Flies. Kd it or The Chronicle ? 1 was glad to see In your paper of last week some meid ion made of the flies.- it is high tii\ie. They have become unbearable, and we should try some method of getting rid of them, especially as It Is a well known fact that they cause typhoid fever and that wherever files abound fever will abound also. It is said that some of the fever rases occurring rc<vutly were caused by con taminated water from well, etc., on the premises. This means that the water contained tilth from an outdoor closet or cow or horse stable. These places are also the feeding and breed ing places of files, and the niagots that thrive there are the young tiles who will soon be visitors to the dining rooms and kitchens, crawling over dishes and food, leaving on each a trail of typhoid. We men do not often realize the extent to which this is done, not lvelng frequent visitors to our kitchens ourselves, a visit might often take away our appetite for our meal. The ladles are doing the best tliev eau with their clean-up weeks. Let's put our shoulders to the wheel and j help tliem. The government has found a way to prevent flies at a cost of one rent a day for each cow or horse, or closet. Think of It ! only thirty cents a month L A. U. Smith. Camden, S. C.. June 23, 1015. Carlisle Owens, the sixteen' year old son of Mrs. John Owens, of Mulllns, was drowned at Sandy Bluff Thurs day afternoon while ha thing at a pri vate pleasure resort. 0 IN INTKKK8T OF THK IJIIKAKY. l{r|jort of the .MeHhn Held Monday AftmuMMi In tb* Tju-k.

After the last of the hllla had been handed to -the Court yesterday Judge Mimhv remarked thai it was <1 i|li< u 1 1 to understand why no true hlflA had been returned when ho much evidence had la>eit given by the officer^ ..against the alleged offenders. Judge Moore said : "There seems to be a deplorable state of affairs In Charleston county and you should realise that tin* law* are made not only for the reat of the atate, but for Charleston1 also.

I hope In the future that you grand Jurors will do better. ??The laws of the state should not la* left to the whims of certain men and I hope that when you meet again that you will be In a better frame of wind with regard to the duty resting on grand jurors and that you will find true bills against whom there Is sutli clent evidence." The duty of a grand juror after he lias taken the oath was stresKed by Judge Moore. lie said that |n his opin ion there was sufficient r evidence against a number of iiersons charged with violating the dispensary law to bring in true bills against them. In re gard to the action of the jury ho said that seven members were able to keep tt'ue hills from being returned, and that lie hoped that there were not more than seven members who opposed returning true bills in the blind tiger cases. 1 Judge Moore based hl? statement on the large amount of evidence which i.us iieiMi obtained by the officers and which had been given to the grand Jury. That the action was more on ac count of prejudice than on a question ot' right was declared to be the belief of the Court. , Jurors" wiio had taken this stand was roundly scored by Judge Moore In his remarks, when he said that conditions existing here were deplorable when so much evidence could bp produced and but one true bill out of thrUy-fluee. indictments re t u rued.-- -Charleston' News and Courier* IIKKOIC AVAITOR IvILLLI) Lieut.

Austria now has reclaimed most of the province of Gallcla, occupied by the Russians early in the war. The fall of lAMnberg has. been expected for several days, and was admitted in Petrograil to be Imminent. The Rus sians are re|>orted to have withdrawn most of their forces and supplies from the city, which was threatened with envelopment by the Austro-German armies advancing from (he north and south.
