It has now been shown beyond reu-| sonable question that yellow fever ; and malaria are propagated among human beings by the bites of cer- ; tain mosquitoes. The mischief: done by the house fly has not been I so absolutely identified; but that | lie is a frequent carrier of disease, j especially of those germ diseases i which attack the a 1 imentary cana 1, is beyond question. He is a born scavenger, with a fondness for creeping over and feeding upon refuse of all degrees of badhess. j His person, his dress, especially' his numerous feet, are never above : suspicion, and he has so often been j caught distributing the deadliest! kind of germs, such as those ot j typhoid fever and cholera, forex- 1 ample, that he has about forfeited j his right to appear in respectably j society. From his birth in a dung-1 hill to his’death in the soup ket tle of some careless cook he is un clean, unwholesome, undesirable. , How many innocent babies give up their lives to him every sum mer, while parents and boards of health charge it up to the water service or the dairyman, will never be known. Hitherto flies and mosquitoes have been looked upon as an noyances, posts; now we must be gan to consider them menaces to iife and health as well as to com fort. Typhoid fever, which ranks next to consumption as a white plague, is a filth disease. Malaria, GIU3ENS TO ANSWER ON CHARGE OPENING MAIL Valdosta, Ga., May 2.—Aaron Guldens, the young rural mail car rier who opened a letter addressed to J. F. Flanders at Kirkland, Ga., took a sl2 check from it will have to explain his conduct to Judge Speer in the United States court. Guldens claims that he acted un der instructions from Flanders, who died hefor the letter came.. He said that Flanders owed him and agreed for him to take the check, which was expected from a stock claim agent for killing a cow by the railroad train. Mrs. Flanders was the leading witness against Guldens in the preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Powell yes jterdav evening. She said that she made the settlement with the claim agent herself after her husband died, that the cow that was killed belonged to a little boy and not to her or her husband, and that hep husband could not have authorized Giddens to open the letter and take flu* check. Giddens’ brother, who was postmaster at Kirkland, testified to having heard the con versation between Flanders and the accused and that Flanders told him to open the letter and take the check Mr. Giddens belongs to a well known and influential family,and his arrest occasioned much sur prise. His bond was fixed at $l5O for. his appearance before Judge Speer. Crossties Wanted. Wanted, 500,000 good 7x9 81 foot local pine crossties for South ern Railway. Liberal advances on bills lading.

I which shakes the bones and swells the liver of so many Americans j evey year, could be eliminated if ! effective war were made on tnosqui j toes. Even the bubonic plague is : conveyed by fleas which have been j given hospitality by their fellow j nuisances, rats. It is a matter of ! health, therefore, as well as of comfort, for us to clean up. These ! wretched insects must go, after the i manner of that nameless terror iof the nighttime which vexed the j slumbers of our forefathers, or of I those coarse skin parasites which !once disfigured their persons. How shall this be managed? It is precisely to teach ways and means that both the Federal and State officials are inaugurating j their new crusade. How to pre i vent the breeding of flies and | mosquitoes, how to protect dwel-1 i lings from their invasion, the im- I portance of covering food at all j stages from the contact of flies— i these are some of t he things which [the American public needs to j learn. Those who have once ox | perienced the comfort of living without the company of flies will scarcely need the added induce ment of protecting their health to ! make them solicitous about the screening of windows and doors, about open drains, foul alleyways, | stable yards, etc. The success with which war can he waged against mosquitoes was demon strated in yellow fever times. Let j us not wait for the urgency of un other such epidemic, but take up the war at once and follow it up without ceasing. Some instruc tion in our public schools in re gards to this line of things might be of great value. Caroline’s Chapel. special Correspondence. Our farmers are busy planting this time. Mr. and Mrs. C.
