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. Machinery Co. | k/ BOILERS, Saw £ gpj^.

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 other dispensaries beside the one In Terrell, and only a few days ago, two prominent yonag men. In onr sister county of Mitchell, paid the tax which the dispensary exacts with their lives. In Terrell we have no no doubt that Many lives and repo sitions have been substituted for thes Money tax.

Of 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.

Grover Cleveland says the mutualization of the Equitable has been delayed. It will be along about mlllenlum time. 'the best tax m< contributed to this state for he will be the direct beneficiary of the Im proved roads. A short time ago I read an nrtlde In a New York paper stating that at constitutional The fellow that has nothing but his hand and his foot as we say to cut up the roads with knows that It Is not just for him to do ns much work as the big- gi*et farmer, turpentine or sawmill man In the country, hence he has about quit working the road. He wont even do his share when the overseer goes out to lummou him. He wants to make a regular sur prise party of it lest he gives him the jump and evejy working man tries to Jump the summons or get ilck. This makes It harder on the faith ful few even with their little patch 1 work. This dodging Is nothing more than could be expected The editor of the Boetoa Times la good at repartee.

About the silliest and weakest thing we have heard lately Is the alleged proposition of the Republi can party to pay back the campaign funds donated by the life Insurance companies. That action wouldn't remove a speck of the odium that attaches to both party and com panies. , and that fie torn of produce could be moved at the same cost that formerly It took to move twh. Now I live about fourteen miles from Thomaavllle and I don't believe there Is two miles of good roads on the route. A recent trip to Cairo reveals about the anme stat us with the fact that the nearer the town you go the worst the roads are. This la reasonable under the pres ent system for the average man wanta to make doubly sure that he does not do anymore work than any other man and none are so stupid as not to know that It takes three or four‘times as much work where the combined travel cuts and tears tho road bed so much more rapidly . Therefore want of uniformity ta oae of the greatest drawbacks to the old system with ths result that often when we need the best roads we have the worst Then along this line of thought another obstacle presents Itself. The lack of proper men to supervise the work. Granting that every man wonld do his duty when summoned there are plenty of sections that have no one suitable to oversee the roads. In this county some of the moist Im portant sections have only negros to boss the work and It has been badly done. Then those in autbor- The Savannah News tells of ths return of eighteen dlsgUsted negroes to this country from fake Liberia. Let us hope that their foreign ex perience will make them willing to work. ^ Is only the harvest of an erroneous system plant ed when our need for good roads was not so strenuous.

Then why should he kick and fuss when he Is taxejl for his direct ben efit because he Is over fifty, while he submits like a lamb to a contin ued rising tide of state taxes and new offices being created that he does not know what good they will do him.
