The Columbus Enquirer-Bun says:
‘‘Mr. Hoke Binlth’s friends In Musco¬

is that his speech last night turned

for him among his hearers.”

A0 AIR ST MOSQUITOES.
New Orleans and Atlanta are two
of our big cities that have set a good
example to other municipalities In
waging a very vigorous warfure this
summer against the pestiferous mos
quito, whoee dire capacities as a
spreader of disease are now generally
recognized. The city authorities have
seen to It that all public places where
the Insect could breed have been eith¬
er drained or covered with kerosene,
and they are also giving attention to
private citizens who are carelessly
allowing “mosquito farms” to be es¬
tablished on their premises.
We clip the following from the re¬
port of the Director of the laboratory
of Hygiene in Atlanta, which we
commend to the attention of our city
officials and people generally:
“It Is impossible for the authorities
to eradicate this pest without the co¬
operation of the people. Mosquitoes
do not travel iar from their breeding
places, and anyone who is troubled
with them should immediately sus¬
pect their own premises.
“It Is necessary that they should
careftilly Inspect their yards and
houses to see that there arc no old
vessels or tin cans laying around
where water might collect, as it is
here the mosquitoes lay their eggs.
“After making such inspection they
should pour half a pint of kerosene
oil into the sinks connecting with the
sewer so as to prevent the develop¬
ment of mosquitoes in the sewer con¬
necting with the house. This should
be done every two weeks.”
GEORGIA PLUTOCRATS ARE IM
MORE.
It is all right to “holler a mile
high” over the prospect that the
State tax returned valuations this
year will be #60,000,000 more than
they were last year. The figures
justify us iin crowing some, but no
mau with gumption enough to raise
an umbrella in a rain storm, doubts
that 160,000,000 is much more than
half the real increase of taxable val¬
ues iu Georgia for the period men
tioned. 1
Why do the real values of the Btate
fail to appear on the tax digests? asks
the Atlanta News, and answers cor¬
rectly as follows:
Because no general assembly in
Georgia has ever yet had the nerve
and backbone to do its duty toward
the poor and honest taxpayers of the
Btate. The mem tiers of that body
have hud the happy faculty from time
immemorial of getting up on conven¬
ient occasions and denouncing pluto¬
crats, predatory wealth, cormorants
and other birds, fish and animals of
the political world. They get off
these howls of patriotic indignation
with a seriousness that would give
the two dromios of Shakesi>e&re’s
comedy laughing pains in their slats.

How to Hake a Tow» Co Dead.
Marietta Journal.
Borne people think the town ought
to do all for them, and let them do
nothing for the town. Soon there’ll
be no town at all at this lick.—[Cov¬
ington Enterprise.
As people make a town, and not
the town the people, those peculiar
you alluded to, doubtless want
someone else to do It all and they do
nothing. They want to enjoy the
benefit to be derived from somebody
else's public spirit and enterprise, but
withhold doing anything, Hike a
sponge, take in, but give out nothing,
unless squeezed to do so. This spirit
prevails whore business men wait for
other business men to advertise and
draw trade to town, and then they
try to get their trade; yet doing noth¬
ing to invite or Induce them to cotne
to the town, by bargains offered or
invitations given. If all acted on
that principle, the town would go
dead.
