An excellent 4-reel show is\
scheduled for tonight at the)
movies, entitled 'The Adventures
of a Madcap". Saturday
night begins the new seriel,
"Neil of the Navy." This is undoubtedly
one of the finest, pictures
to be shown here. It has
had tine runs in all the cities and
is sure to make a hit in Chester
field.
A line start has been made
toward cleaning up Chesterfield.
Many of the merchants have
complied with instructions by
the authorities. It is possilrtej
that others will have to learn by ;
experience the order has fcrcei
behind it. The streets have been j
cleaned of the loose paper that
has been au eyesore for some
time. It will be a comparatively
easy matter now to keep things'
in a sanitary condition.
Report of the death of little j
Louise Rivers, the four-year-old
daughter of Mr. R. E. Rivers, is
momentarily expected. The ,
child became seriously ill and'
was taken to the Baptist Hospit-'
al in Columbia last week. It
was thought she was suffering
from appendicitis, but the doc- ,
tors later changed the diagnr,-'
sis. Word was received Wed-ji
nesday at noon that the little ;
sufferer was in a dying condition.
Two milk cows at the stable of'
Arm field Porter Co., engaged in

wore a pair of stylish Jersey-like

aened, were the right distance

opponent. When thus caught it
became impossible to remove

ihat the eyes of the injurned cow

Since the store of Teal-Jones

things now stand there is no
protection whatsoever against a

Where the Plan Failed.
A white mail walking along n road
where an old colored man was whitewashing
a fence noticed that the brush
lie was using contained very few bristles.
"Look here, Itastus," exclaimed the
man. pausing and looking at the operation,
"why don't you get a brush with
more bristles in It?"
"What fo\ Mlstah Smith, what fo'?"
returned Hast us, glancing from the
fence to his questioner.
"What for?" expressively replied Mr.
Smith. "Why, If you had a brush with
more bristles in it you could do twice
as much work."
"Dat's all right, Mlstah Smith." said

The motherhood of the nation
* ought to be at the nation's ser^
vice; and in no way can it be
* fully so without the political
^quality of women with men.
5(^ Among men there is a great
w deal of misunderstanding of wo
k" men's motive in seeking thie
equality. Much of the man's op
?d position comes from his inherent
e- love of the inothe'hood of wos.
man, which is woman's fori iain
tive and ctierishing and protec
tive instinct. To those men who
ft misunderstand the aim of eq a!
a. suffrage and so think women are
ds trying to prove themselves men,
the world looks desolation it^ell
1(j under the prospect of its losing
,B_ that womanly instinct. Theii
opposition often results from
this mistaken dread that wotner
ci nld really turn themselves in

In order to make this commqnity a
letter place to live in, we must declare
var on tho house fly at once. If we do fc|*i
lot slip up on him and 6trike the first
i&rd smashing blow, he is going to /Ig
:omo at us in overwhelming numbers.
How may we successfully fight the MS
iy? By destroying or removing his Up
ireeding place, the manure pile, removing
all garbage and making the K
privy vault fly-proof, and by keeping
jur yards and alleys clean. We must [I'
screen our houses and use die swatter
?nd sticky fly paper without let-up.
Wliero is the fly born? In filth, generally
in horse manure and outhouses, I fij
sometimes in the flesh of dead and rot- Mj
cing animals?novor in any clean,
wholesome place. The life cycle of
the fly's birth runs about ten days I
from tho time the egg Is laid until the '
mature insect is born. A maggot is I'
hatched from the egg. The maggot be- B
comes a pupa (a state corresponding
to the* tadpole ttate in frog life), and
the pupa becomes the mature fly that K:
helps to make life miserable for us in Jh
warm weather. .'1
Flies Live in Filth. fl
Where does the fly live? Where B
there is filth, and there is nothing too I
filthy for tho fly to rat. He eats clean ;;
food also, but his special delight seems W
to bo wallowing in filth, then buzzing L
into tho house and wiping his feet and
wings on substances you are about to ?
eat. Watch him and see for yourself.
Think of the most sickening, dis- I d
gusting places where you have seen H*
flies. Think of them until your palate I;;
is light and the pit of your stomach IH
ticklish. For if you think hard It
enough about this dangerous, nasty
Insect pest you will help fight his I
whole tribe with all your might.
The fly's favarito place of residence B
is in the manure pile, the privy-vault, 1

He Breeds Disease.
What does ho do in these places of *
oxploration? Ho wipes his feet on the ? *
food, bathes in the milk, or drowns in j. J.
it, and annoys the sleepers. If there fk,
is a sick person around, a consump- $L
tive for instance, he alights on the yjv,
patient's lips or invades his sputum u$!
cup and takes on a load of deadly '3?j
germs. This he distributes on the M
food, on the baby's lips or on your own mH
if you are not very careful to shoo K
him away.
A busy death's head is the house fly. 'jjff
Ho killed more American soldiers in I
the Spanish-American war than the A
bullets of the Spaniards, and was the
direct causo of much of the typhoid
fever in the United States last year,
lie cannot be ignored safely.
The only way this town can effec-*
tually exterminate flies is to make an
organized effort. Our municipal authorities
and health officers should
map out a campaign immediately and
enlist the activo aid of everybody in
tho community.
Cover Manure Box
and Garbage Can
A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meaa- S
ures combined as a method of controlling
the f.y nuisance. A proper
method of garbage collection and disposal
Is next in importance. The garbage
should be drained, wrapped in
paper and collected in a fly-proof metal
bucket. The bucket should be washed
at intervals with lye soap and water
and then sponged with kerosene In
water.
The foregoing adrico is from the famous
sunitary authority. Dr. W. A.
Evans of Chicago. In our local campaign
wo should utilize this information
to the utmost. It has long been
recognized thnt swatting the fly would
never rid the community of his whole
tribe forever more. We have learned
that we must mako war on him early
in the season by getting rid of his
breeding places and his natural
sources of food supply?filth.
Some of us are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against flies la
mighty troublesome. Well, the grumblers
will find It less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies than
to nurse n member of the family IV
through a spell of typhoid fever?and I
much less expensive.
How to Make Fly Paper ' I
The use of sticky fly paper is better I
than the use of poison to trap tflles.. tj
Once a lly alights on sticky pupur he 1
Is pretty certain to stay there until J
he dlea. If you place a saucer contain * B
l.ig poison fly paper and water in the a
dining-room window, the flies drink I
the deadly stuff hut they do not die
immediately. They may not die until 'M
thoy reach the cream pitcher. If yotf [?
want to make your own sticay fly pa* ji
per, boll together equal parts of castor if
oil and rcpin and spread the substance j&|
on tough paper before it cools. jm
