THE WHITE FLY ,
People have been annoyed by the
white fly, or gnat It la here and
aeema determined to atay here. Be
tid ea lta abominable habit of bar
ring around yonr face and getting
in yonr eye. It la very deatrucUve
to ah rubbery of certain klnda. They
Injure orange treee and privet bedg-
ea. There la not much of tbla partic
ular kind of vegetation around here
and the little posts have taken to
the China berry treea. Now la the
time to kill them off. Tlila can be
done by apraylpg the vegetation
where they luxuriate with an emul-
alon of keroaene or with parla green.
And while you are monkeying '•
with the keroaene gun take a
ahot at the old holea and other pla-
cea where the mosquitoes breed.

J No county taxes to pay. That Is
good. Are there not other counties
anxious for something of the sort?
Does not Thomas county want one?
We sometimes hear a man say that
It would be a good thing, but before
any county assumes responsibility
for such a thing, wa hope that the
matter will be looked Into with
great care. We prefer, and we know
that a vast majority of onr people
prefer, to pay their just taxes In
money and not in blood. There are

course we have onr quota of agita
tors, who fry to make tho people
think tbBt lb* railroads and other
corporations are robbing them, and
that Congress should pats drastic
laws against the hated capitalists.
Those arguments always appeal to
a certain class but nowadays the-
treat majority of citizens are too In
telligent to be Influenced by such
demagogical sophistry. The South
stands In need of men who will bring

About the silliest and weakest

This la reasonable under the pres

the combined travel cuts and tears

another obstacle presents Itself.
