He declares that for eight days his mlpd has been a blank. Yet in that time he rode from Savannah to Claxton on his daughter’s bicycle, told strange stories of his plan to ride until he should be west of the Mississippi River and finally dlspos ed of the wheel when a chance came for a ride to Macon on a freight train. In Macon his mind suddenly re sumed Its normal condition and. leav ing friends who had .otfred .for him a word of good-bye, he o walk Jo SJavannah.

The story he tells Is that, while suffering from a sunstroke, he made the journey on hts bicycle and freight the Irritating character of its bite and the more or less vague suspicion that It’ Is connected, to some way with the nropagaton of disease have always given the mosquito a certain and economic significance.

The real work of extermination should then begin If nothing has previously been done, for the "wiggletail" developes rapidly and to a short time the genuine mo squito is on hand. Stripped of all technicalities. Gen. Wyman has made plain just how every person may exterminate th« njoBfjutto, or at least help to do so. Natural collections of water which do or may serve as breeding places should be drained. Where cisterns or tanks ar« used they should be provided with covers and they should l»e Inspected frequently to see. If wood, that seams are not opened up and cracka formed. Cesspools and vaults should be done away with by providing dry earth closets or a sew erage system. But at>ove all, pre mises should be kept clean of old bottles, old buckets and anything that will hold the next rainfall. Mora may be effectively done to make the home clean and healthfully this means than perhaps any other. Then whefl old bottles,, tubs and buckets are collected, do not carelessly throw them over the teme into the next lot, but have them hauled off and see to It that they are burned. In that way alone will effective work be done,” says Gen. Wyman "There are many other ways that wu- glfoctlva rrnuMtit max.be waged against the mosqultor-but the first- work must Imgl.n at home.- The time in now approaching when every precaution possible should be taken to »ee that mosquitoes j>ot only do not thrive, but are not even allowed to gef into the "wiggletail” stage. "Begin work now,” Gen. Wyman aaya, ”fu}d don't stop working.” * TnbrrcwJlMl* From Knife Wound without J started Ki. trains to Macon, taking eighf days to make the trip.

Lawshe, third Assistant post-master general. In his address to the editors', said he was once a county newspaper editor and he said he loved the new-spaper business and newspaper men and wanted to im press upon the editors that the mom- bers of the poktoffice department. In cluding himself, did not have any horns. His address was |>ecullarly interesting In Vtews of the recent ruling 6f fhfc postoffice department that newspapers must be paid for b«fore fhey» will be admited to the mall, as secon<| class metier He explained clearly and forcibly the reason and necessity on the part of the department for the ruling and Its real advantage to the publishers of legitimate newspapers. It had been found out that some of the abuses of the second class privilege was by persons having no legitimate publication but using the mall simp ly for advertlslngpurposes whoclatm- ed 100,000 circulation, hut had less than thre per cent of that number. Mr. Lawshe said he thought the legi timate subscriber was one who want ed a paper and showed that he want ed it by paying for It. He believed that editors would agree withhlm that In Its ruling the department was not only-legally but was morally right, and he believed the wisdom 6t the ruling had been justified not only by the resuHs to the govern ment, but especially by Its beneficial results to the legitimate newspaper publisher- whom It protected. Mr. Lawshe's address was clear, forceful and instructive and he was heard services have l»een held and prayers have l>een offered tor the city of Greenville, that it may be saved from destruction.
