Locust Grove. 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.

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 PRICES STILL DOWN AT AUSTIN’S SATURDAY 3 yd lace 5c 2 ” ” ' 5c 10c yd lace 7%c 15c ” ” 10c 2 bunches stickry bra ; d .10c rick rack braid 5c 25c embroidery for 15c 20c ” ” 10c 10c ” ” 5c 10c insertion ” 5c 5c ” ” 2%c 25c box stationery 15c 50c ” ” 25c 15c ” ” 10c 10c paper 5c 24 envelopes 5c 10c tablet 5c YOURS FOR MORE BUSINESS AUSTINS 10c STORE ONE DAY ONLY For every egg yolk in a hen's body she must have enough white to com plete and lay an egg.

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.
