There are more kinds of mosqui*
toes than one, but they are all
nuisances. The}* annoy their
victims day and night, and are
like thorns in the flesh that irri¬
tate and agrivate.
We had thought that after the
mosquito wrffe scientifically and
officially convicted of being a
disturbing agency of deadly dis¬
ease he would be doomed to ex¬
termination in all well-governed
r.nd progressive municipalities,
but the towns and cities that have
inaugurated campaigns for the
uurpose of getting rid of him are,
as yet, exceptional.
Flies and mosquitoes are two
nuisances that can and should
claim the attention of every well
regulated family and every well
governed town or city. Both cau
be exterminated or their numbers
reduced and kept down to a
minimum, and the relief would
be well worth ihe cost.

“Do you speak as a scientist?”
“No, sir. As a man of an experi¬

down or your gasoline gives out and
leaves you stuck away up yonder in
a cloud bank. How are you going to
get a team of horses to pull you out?”

Flies and Mosquitoes.
(Albany Herald)
The Board of Health of New
York has again arraigned the fly,
the common house fly, on the
murderous charge of carrying
typhoid microbes on his feet and
thus disturbing them on foods.
Whether the fly is guilty of
this particular charge or not we
are not prepared to say, but the
fly is guilty on general princi¬
ples of being a nuisance, and if
he carries typhoid germs it is
reasonable to presume that he
carries the germs of other diseases
as well.
The fly is a genuine every-day
malefactor, and civilization and
the comfort and well-being of
mankind cry out for his extermi¬
nation. He is born in filth and
is a menace to cleanliness.
And then there is the mosquito
He too, is a disseminator of dis¬
ease, having been convicted as
such by the highest scientific and
medical authorities of the world, j
He, too, besides being a menance.

Lake Which Dries Itself
Once Every Seven Years.
Moultrie, Ga., September 7.—
All eyes of this section are now
on Dry Lake. Dry Lake is a large
body of water near Pidcock that
has a habit of drying itself every
seven years. This is the year for
the lake to dry itself, and the
water is now disappearing through
an opening in the bottom of the
lake. The process is a little
slow, and it will take a week or
ten days for it to get low enough
to catch the many fish that it
contains with nets and seines. The
fishermen are getting daily re¬
ports from it, aud at the right
time will swoop down on the fish
that are said to be in great size
and quantity.
I* - r,he lake repeats its action of
former years the whole of the
water will disappear, leaving th'
bottom as dry as a chip. The
water will stay out a few weeks
and will gradually fill up again
trom the bottom. This is not
the only lake of south Georgia
and Florida of this character.
There is one near Tallahassee
that contains eight hundred acres
of land that dries itself.
