Albany, Ga,, July Lis—^opecial.) Aly bany clau.is the rare distinction of be- : ng a fiyicss town. In tht midst, or summer, which from, morial has been considered, fly time, a man would starve to death, trying to make a llying catching flies at five cents a head. ^ This condition is. the result of a sys tematic campaign waged for several years by local health authorities. The rumber of flies has steadily grown less : from summer to, summer, till now these S’""’ v, er pests are virtually extinct. Two Albany men made a tour of the business district this week, looking for a fly. .. 1 They failed to iind one. They first went to a restaurant^ next to. a sbda 1 cunt, then, to a hotel. They entered stores and offices, examined windows and door facings and other places where ordinarily flies might be expected tQ be disporting themselves. Thoy failed * to find a single one of tho household pests. , In • the residential section the same condition prevails. Recent -visitors to Albany who have had the flyloss condition of the com munity called to their attention gener ally smile a little at first, but they soon discover that Albany really has gdtten rid of flies. The .present -deartl\ ,of the summer pests in Albany Is attributed' to tjte good work 0^ the health department, in the-spring and early summer. They gave close attention to .the us ual breeding places of these insect’s, and put out many fly traps. These wore kept on duty continually, and so deci mated the early crop of flies that the ttribo is ; now almost extinct in the com munity.
