Mrs. C. C. Heard continues on
the sick list.
Mrs, C. V. Williams is still quite
sick.
Mr. Sam Heard, of Atlanta,
spent Sunday at Locust Grove.
Prof. Claude Gray was in Ma
con one day last week.
Mrs. Claude Gray attended the
recital of her daughter, Caroline,
at Shorter College recently.
Miss Caroline Gray, of Shorter
spent the week-end with her
parents.
Miss Davis Smith, of Flovilla
visited Miss Virginia Middlebrooks
this week end.
The Phi Delta gave a banquet
at Locust Grove Hotel Saturday
evening. They report a good time
and plenty good eats.
Miiss Ellen Wells, who has
been some months in the land of
flowers has returned to her home.
Isn’t it the army of fate that
(so soon after some one gave to
to the readers of the “Weekly”
an article on the abolition of the
lash in the convict camp, in which
article he tries to reduce it to
an absurdity) the papers should
be telling us about a whipping
boss, down in Florida, who gave
a youth 167 lashes, said youth
dying about three days later.
Now the whipping boss is indicted
for murder and I for one would
like to see him convicted. The
papers say he put his heel on the
boys neck and beat him, according
to witnesses, united he was gash
ed from his head to his knees.
How any man or set of men could
want a thing lii<e that kept in force
is beyond my conception. One
may laugh and say that next thing
the humane society will demand
for the convicts, will be, music,
dance halls and shower baths etc.
Well why not? There are quite a
few fob's outside of prison walls,
who are as bad as some behind
them. Surely it is not the mind of
the people to see how cruel we
can be, simply because the co ivict
has no recoarse. Is it our purpose
to torture men. if so we are worse
than the man tortured? It does
not help much for the boss to say
that the 167 licks were to light to
hurt, for the fact remains that the
boy according to the witnesses
died front the severe flogging.
Recently I saw a young man just
out of the gang and he was using
crutches. I ask him what was the
trouble, and he said, a guard beat
him up. It seems that they put
him to driving a “wheeler,” a
a thing he never did before and
he did not do it to suit the guard,
so he proceeded to beat him up
with a stick. He hit him on the
knee and ruined him for life. The
boy was then paroled and was
headed for Atlanta to see whether
the prison commission would send
him to John Hopkins for treat
ment. Oh vou got this from him
Yes I did but that does not dis
prove it.
I believe vou can take almost
any man and allow him to use the
Jash on convicts and it will only
be a short time before he becomes
callous, I rather flunk, that he
gets where he enjoys it.
Mv! My Isn’t he brave! Put his
hand on a poor fellows neck and
beat him,'simply because he can.
Maybe if he had a taste of the
Jash himself it would help him
to appreciate the othe fellows posi
tion. After the convict finishes his
his days task, let him dance if
he wants to, I have no objec
tion to their having athletics and
other amusements, but for
humanity sake keep whipping
bosses away from the camp.

THE APPROACHING MOS
QUITO SEASON
Senior Sanitary Engineer J. A.
LePrince of the U. S. Public
Health Service who because of his
lona experience fighting mosqui
toes and mosquito-born diseases
is as well qualified as anyone to
speak on tnis subject, makes the
following comment and sugges
tions relative to the approaching
mosquito season in the South:
It is pleasing to note the in
creased interest and activity de
veloping in many places with re
gard to mosquito control.
For many years we have been
satisfied with the partial protection
from the mosquito pest obtained
by screening our houses. But the
public are evidently no longer sat
isfied to pav fifty million dollars a
year to be driven behind in many
localities they have not only de
cided that the pestiferous and dis
ease bearing mosquito must go,
but are actually eliminating both
species. In one southern state
over two hundred communities
were bu<y last year with mosqui
to elimination.
Last month the propagation
season of the malaria conveying
mosquito began again in the
southen portion of the Gulf States
and within the next sixty days

she must have enough white to com

for whites she absorbs the excess yolks and
gets too fat to lay. ‘"Boarders” don’t even pay

while the farmers are busy plant
ing mosquito eggs in such stag
nant water as they can find with
in flight range of your home.
In manv localities the public are
now ready for mosquito protec
tion, and, in fact, paying for
partial screen protection, but'they
do not get together to discuss
their local mosquito problem and
determine just what it is. No
body steps to the front to see that
a prper start is made.
What sort of a mosquito pro
blem have you in the community
in which you live? Some small
communities in rural districts are
worrying along with a high sick
rate and discomforts that are not
at all necessary and which cost
more to support than to eliminate.
