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. IJ, Vaughan caw), a .loc Malloy

done a great deal towards Inviting

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. ,

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

Judg? TrU* Jury He Ttioufht There
Ww Huttrlent Kvldmcc.
Mu?'!i intercut wu manifested in the
aetlon of the grand Jury on tin* indlet
incuts against alleged ojM'ratorw of
blind tigers. A total of thirty-two I?0
bllls and oiim tr?n? hill have been re
turned where Indietinenta charged vio
lation of the dispensary law. Holicltoi
i ? ? < 1 1 i I o> asked Hint 1 1 1 4 * OjUO true bill
In* uol pressed.
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. That
Home |>ersoiis escape the lawn la no
reason why othern against, whom evl
denee in secured Khould not l>e placed
on trial. Clood lawn should alwaya he
enforced' and the beat way to have bad
lawn repealed'la to ^nforcc them to the
letter. 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*

Summary of the War.
Ijembtrg, capital of Qalicla, has falf
en before the Austro-German armies
which have been sweeping across the
province for the last two months. An
'Official announcement from the Austri
an headquarters says the city was cap'
tared by the second army after a se
vere battl6.
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.
South of Lemherg, in the Dnelster
region, a. strip of Austrian territory
still is in Russian hands, and an of
ficial Petrograd statement reports an
Important Russian victory there after
a battle of several days. At ltawa
Ruska, :i2 miles northwest of Leniberg,
and near the Rukowina border, other
Russian successes are claimed.
The Italian general staff announces
the arrival of important reinforcements
for the Austria us along the Isonzo
front north of the Gulf of Trlest, but,
declares they were repulsed by Alpine'
trooi>s in a battle in the Montenegro
district. A Geneva dispatch says the
Italians have capture^ all the posi
tions defending Marlborgeth and are
bombarding the fortress itself.
Five Swedish steamers bound for
England with lumber were captured in
the Baltic yesterday by German war- 1
ships.
A message, received in Berlin from
Chrlstlania says the navy yards and
arsenal nt South Shields, on the north
I east coast of England were* destroyed
by the Zeppelin raid . of last week. The
casualties are placed at 17 persons kill
ed and 40 injured. The official British
account of the raid gave the number
of dead at 10, but did not disclose the
name of the town nttacked or the ex
tent of the: damage.
* A minor French victory on the
heights of the Mquse and a defeat In
the Vosges are reported In the Paris
official statement today. German at
tacks in the Arras district and in Lor
raine were repulsed. The French ad- !
vance In "Alsace was continued, lead- 1
-tn^trj ocmpat Iftn or Th~e village of Son
de*, nach, on the Focht ^ ?
t A French doctor, who has Investi
gated the matter, states that men em
ployed in the Paris sewers are as
healthy as the average person, and no
other eight hundred men In that city
are bo free from symotic diseases.
