The latter part of the summer
and early fall is when the flies be
come most troublesome. Below
will be found a collection of sev
eral formulas that have been found
satisfactory for fly sprays:
414 quarts of coal tar dip.
44 quarts of fish oil.
3 quarts of coal oil.
3 quarts of whale oil.
1Y quarts of oil of tar.
Dissolve three pounds of laundry
soap in water, add the ingredients
of the spray and bring the whole
up to 30 gallons with luke warm
soft water. This spray will keep
off the fllies and prevent the coats
of the animals from becoming
harsh.
The cows should be sprayed twice
a day.
HOUSEHOLDERS MUST
GIVEN FOUR MONTHS TO GET
FACILITIES FOR THE RE
CEPTION OF MAIL.
Instructions have been sent to all
postmasters by First Assistant Post
master General Bartlett to require all
householders within four months to
install mail Boxes or cut slots in doors
to facilitate the delivery of mail. Such
of those as do not meet the require
ments may have the delivery of their
mail discontinued, Mr. Bartlett said.
“On account of the delays caused to
carriers at dwelling houses where no
door slot or mail receptacle is provided
aned the fact that a large majority of
the dwellings are thus equipped al
ready,” the Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral’s instructions said, “it seems
timely, within a reasonable period, to
require all who are t 6 receive mail by
street carriers at their dwelling to pro
vide such accommodations, the " ex
pense of the same being small. The
length of the notice should not ex
ceed four months, although there may
be exceptionable cases where post
masters should use reasonable discre
tion or ask for instructions.”
M. Bartlett estimated that more
than seventy per cent of the dwelling
houses of the country now have mail
receptacles.
Postmaster Cheatham states to The
News that he trusts that all who have
not complied with the above order of
the Washington authorities will do so
at once. It is his desire to serve the
public as best he can and inconveni
ence no one.

‘BELL’S CANDIDACY
NATIVE OF WEBSTER HAS
| STEADILY RISEN IN THE
§ LEGAL PROFESSION.
| In another column appears the an
‘nouncement of Judge R. C. Bell, of
' Cairo, to succeed himself as a mem
iber of the Court of Appeals. Judge
| Bell was appointed to this position
;upon ke death of Judge Ben Hill
The term of Judge Hill would have
expired on January Ist, 1923, and
prior to his death Judge Hill an
nounced for re-election and had no
| opposition. c
Under the law Judge Bell’s ap
pointment holds only until the result
of the November general election is
declared, and the person chosen there
lin is sworn in. The law requires that
the people must choose by election
the man who shall fill the office from
the election to January Ist, and also
who shall serve for the full term be
ginning January lst. As a result,
Judge Bell’'s name must appear upon
]the ticket twice, once for the unex-
I pired term for which he has no op
| position, which is meraly to finish
Judge Hill’s term, about six weeks
following the general election. In
the second place, his name will ap
pear with that of another candidate
for the full term beginning January
Ist. His announcement refers to the
lfull term. The voters should be care
!ful upon this point to see that their
’ballot shall express accurately their
' wishes. %
l Judge Bell is a typical self-made
iman, and has achieved his present
‘high standing through his own ef
| forts. He was born on a farm in
i\\'ebstcr county January 28th, 1880.
|He worked on the farm for many
years, suffered the hardship of the
farmer boy and finally through his
lown initiative seeured enough money
| with which to attend school. He be
| gan teaching school at the age of 17
!_\-cars. Later on when he accumu
‘lated sufficient money he took the
’la\v course at Mercer University, grad
| uating there in 1902. Before beginning
!practicc. however, he took two years
|of collegiate work at Mercer. In 1904
|he began the practice of law in Syl
| vester. He moved to Cairo in 1905
land has lived there ever since. In
1912 he ran for solicitor-general of
| the Albany circuit, and was over
| whelmingly elected. At the expira
'tion of his term he was elected again
|without opposition, after which he
was elected without opposition as
judge of the superior court of the
circuit and was holding that position
Iwhen appointed to the court of ap
| peals.

Lee County Excited
Over. Jury Removals
Indignation Meeting Is Held at Lees
~ burg to Protest Commissioners.
LEESBURG, Ga., Lee county was
in a state of indignation and excite
ment today when it became known
that the new jury commissioners just
sworn in and who are W. M, Forres
ter, chairman; 'E. M. Yow, S, B.
Smith, E. J. Stocks, Sr.. G. A, Nesbit
and C. S. Pryor, had removed from
the jury list nearly forty per cent of
the qualified jurors.
Much indignation and resentment
is being expressed by those disqualified
and their friends and dame rumor on
tlge streets says it is a political move,
but, of course, this has not been
proven. Hundreds of post cards and
hand bills "were circulated throughout
the county announcing a mass meet
ing at the court. house to protest
against the action.
A pinch of salt will make both eggs
and cream whip more rapidly. Both
will be more satisfactory if whipped
when very cold.
Walter R. McDonalfl)Candidate
For Railroad Commission
Walter R. McDonald, the blind legis
lator from Richmond county, is a can
didate for the Railroad Commission of
Georgia to succeed Hon. C. Murphy
Candler, who is not offering for re
election.
At the age of thirteen, a poor boy
on his father’s small farm in Richmond
County, near Augusta, the youngest of
seven children, he was suddenly strick
en with total blindness. Realizing that
the light of day had been forever
barred from his vision, the young farm
er boy set out to win an education
and with a determination to serve his
state in spite of his handicap of blind
ness. Having advanced only to the
fourth grade in common school, and
knowing that his family was unable to
give him an education, he set to work
and, by his own effort, working during
school terms and vacation, earned and
paid for his education, graduating from
the University of Georgia in 1914.
Since that time he has successfully
practiced law in the City of Augusta,
where he is considered one of the
ablest of the younger lawyers of that
section, McDonald is now in his early
thirties.
Mr. McDonald is a man whose cheer
fulness is &n inspiration to his friends,
of whom there are thousands. As an
evidence of his popularity and ability
the voters of Richmond County have
for three successive terms sent him to
the State Legislature over opposition.

Cotton Ginning
(] The ginning of a bale of cotton is an important opera
tion. It has much to do with the price your cotton
brings when it is put on the market.
€ For many years, since we first began to operate a gin
nery, we have realized the importance of good ginning
and pride ourselves on the reputation we have earned
by ‘“‘doing 1t night.” |
( We have made the usual season repairs and improve
ments, preparatory of again giving the farmers of Terrell
county the best ginning service, and hope we shall con
tinue to receive the liberal patronage you have given
us 1n the past.

Costs Little and Overcomes Trouble
Almost Over Night
Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho-Sulphur,
declares a noted skin specialist. Because
of ite germ destroying properties, this
sulphur preparation instantly brings
ease from sfi‘iln irritation, soothes and
heals the eczema right up and leaves
the skin clear and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the torment
without delay. Sufferers from skin
trouble should obtain a small jar of
Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from anyggood
druggist and use it like cold cream.;
