A MOSQUITOLESS SUMMER.
Think of a summer without mosquP
toes here In Albany!
Wouldn’t It be great?
Think of It, all. ye who can’t flee tb
the mountains for a change of climate
and for relief from the buzzing, sting'
Ing pests that do more than anything
else to make summer life at home mis
erable! >
Let’s strike for a mosquitoless sum
mer In Albany. It Is within the prov
ince and the power of the Mayor and
City Council to give It to us. Let’s
nek them for It, and Insist upon It, it
necessary, until they are convinced
that We are In earnest about It.
Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance
In many ways and with aggravating
features, but they are a menace to
health as well. The leading scientists
and the best accredited authorities
of the medical profession are now
agreed that mosqultoee are the pur
veyors of disease, particularly yellow
fever and malarial disease's of all
kinds. This within Itself should ad
monish every well-regulated town or
city to light mosquitoes ob they would
a postilence and to leave nothing un
done to prevent the breeding of the
pesky Insects Within their limits.
But The Herald was "agin” mos
quitoes and urged the municipal au
thorities of Albany to Institute a war
of extermination on the pesta long
before the doctors discovered that
they were responsible for the spread
of yellow fever, and we believe that,
aside from all health considerations,
relief trout this summer nuisance of
long standing would be well worth
every effort and dollar that It would
cost to accomplish It.
The drainage of this ,city Is now al-
moaf. perfect, and the great Improve
ment that has been made on this line
within the last fqw years ought to
make it possible to keep down the
breeding of mosquitoes and thereby
afford Immunity from the pests at
comparatively small cost. The adop
tion and enforcement -of an ordinance
for tho screening! of clstorns and all
other reservoirs in the city and a rigid
Inspection of all premises for the pur
pose of making sure that no sinks or
vessels of any kind are left with water
standing In them, and then the use of
a little coal oil In the low places where
water stands for any length of time
after a rain would be all that would be
required to give the city immunity
from the mosquito pest.
And now Is the time to Inaugurate
the antl-mosqulto campaign. By be
ginning in time the work could be
more easily doue and could also be
made more effective.
The antt-mosqutto campaign might
be- placed In the hands of the City
Physician and the Health Committee
of the City Council, and a little well-
directed work and the expenditure of
a sum of money that would be Insig
nificant as the price of Immunity from
mosquitoes would give us a mosquito
less summer.
Wo see from the Atlanta papers that
the Mayor and Council of that city are
going to Inaugurate an antl-mosqulto
campaign under the direction of the
Board of Health, and that two thou
sand dollars has heon appropriated as
a starter, with the promise of more
when It shall bo needed for the prose
cution of the work. An ordinance has
also been framed to require all clsters
and other reservoirs In the city to be
screened. This seems to he a good
start. Let Albany follow the Atlanta
example. It will cost much less to
keep' down the mosquito nuisance In
Albany than -it will In Atlanta.
Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of the City
Council, our hat ts off to you In re
spectful obeisance, and the question
of a mosquttoless summer is now up
to you.
Manila, whom he blames for the highly
colored stories that have found circu
lation at home. He might have added
that at no time since American occu
pancy of the {Philippines hare the
newspaper correspondents stationed
there been “hampered by facts,” to
quote the language of a famous Geor
gian.
A New York blrdologlst and a North
Carolina one are having a controversy
over robins. The North Carolina man
declares that a robin never runs but
always hops with both feet at once
and In the same direction. The New
Yorker intimates that the other knows
nothing of robins, and asserts that
these birds are runners, not hoppers.
As both claim to be acquainted with
robins, why Is It that they differ so
widely, and who shall decide? As a
general thing birds that have their
homes In the trees usually progress by
hopping when on the earth, while
those that live or spend most of their
time on the ground always walk. Still
there may be exceptions, and we
would not like to take either side in
the robin controversy with positivity.
Montgomery Advertiser.
Thd North Carolina man and the
New Yorker are both half right and
half wrong. The robin hops and runs
both. In other words, he is a two-
galted bird and runs or hops, or hops
and runs, but when on level ground
he perhaps runs more than he hops.
TUE8DAY, MARCH 40, 1906.
i.
Albany Is “up and doing” In spite
of the fact that she accomplished more
in the line of building improvement In
1905 than In any two years of her pre
vious history, therq Is as much—pos
sibly more—building In progress with
in her limits as at any time In the
past. It Is a gratifying fact that much
of the building now being done is In
the residence sections. Several hun
dred new dwellings will be needed this
year, and It Is gratifying to note that
they are being rapidly provided.
’’ifc It doesn't help your town, and there-
fcr-ftire it doesn’t help you, to send away
for things that can be bought at home.
, The loyal citizen will spend his money
i|i-nt home, even though he may have to
Swpay a llttle more for what he buys.
It would seem that the limit has
been reached in the matter of unjusti
fiable lynchlugs by a Louisiana mob
which, on Saturday night, took the
life of a negro who had been arrested
Kftjtorged with stealing and killing a
calf. ■
y
Worth county should vote a pension
to the Sylvester mother who gave
birth on Saturday to three gtrl babies
Incidentally, it .would be a graceful
thing to exempt the proud father from
taxation for the next eighteen years,
for he will need the money.
The victim of New Orleans’ sup
posed yellow fever case died, and an
autopsy showed that he was killed by
cirrhosis of the'liver. The health au
thorities of Louisiana bravely declared
their confidence that the case. under
surveillance was not yellow fever, but
they no doubt feel a good deal easier
now that the Inevitable lingering ele
ment of doubt has been fully removed.
The Atlanta Methodist preachers
discussed the subject of prayer and
the answering of prayer at their Mon
day meeting, and one of them, Rev.
C. C. Jarrell, pastor of Grace Church,
advanced the belief that all human
prayers are “edited” in heaven. Then
there are editors in heaven, and they
are still doing hard work.
The United States army has about
as much use for lieutenant-generals as
Switzerland has for admirals. Never
theless, these expensive military orna-
meats are being created and retired at
a rate which almost makes us dizzy.
Verily, the favor of the administration
In tills day and generation is about
the fattest thing under the sun. .
Yes, let’s have the park aad a mos
quttoless summer, too.
