 There was considerable talk on the streets this morning over the dismiss sal of Louis Goldsmith from the em- ploy of the city as assistant driver or the Phoenix Fire Company by Chief of the Department w. R. Walker. There are two various versions given. one that MT. Goldsmith of his own free will quit the employ of the city and the other is that he was dismissed from the service.
 The report was current this morning that Mir. Goldsmith had been dis missed from service because he had flushed the dead ends of the water mains. At the last meeting of the City Council a resolution was passed that 1t should be the duty of the assistant drivers of each of three fire compa- nies of the city to flusn the dead ends of the water mains in the city. The resolution as passed by the council carried with it a raise in the salary Of $5 per month for each of these men. Last week the assistant driver Of the company in East Selma flushed the dead ends in his territory. Yes terday Mir. Goldsmith flushed the dead ends in the part of the city that had been assigned to him. Both men acted under instructions from the mayor and the council. This morning Mir. Gold smith left the service of the fire de- partment This proDapiy caused the report to be circulated that he had been dismissed because he did his duty. Chief Walker of the fire department was seen this morning and asked why MT. Goldsmith had been dismissed from the service ot the department. He

Three Cases Out of One.

There was only one case called in Police Court this morning for Judge R. D. Berry to administer justice to- But before the sitting of the court was over the case developed into two | others ard two of the witnesses were | arrested The first casc was against Ceasar Foster for disorderly conduct This morning around one of the cot ton yards there was an old negro named Ben Miller who had come from Lowndes county with two bales of cotton. Ceasar tried to buy the cotton from the negro. A white man also wanted to buy 1t. Ceasar took the re- celpts and with the other negro went around to the store of Joe Rosenburg on Washington street.
 The white man had Ceasar arrested for disorderly conduct. When the case was called all of the witnesses were sworn and told to go out into another room and not to talk about the ease During the trial MT. Rosen- burg gave back to the old negro his two cotton receipts and had a friendly | conversation. Warrants for contempt | of court were issued for both of them. Ceasar Foster was fined $10 for dis | orderly conduct and MT. Rosenburg and Ben Miller were fined S for con
 tempt of court. Chief Walters asked
 that the fine against Ben Miller be re-
 mitted.
 Judge Berry asked why and Chief 1 Walters pleaded ignorance for the old negro from Lowndes county. Judge
 Berry said he could not remit one fine without remitting both of them. but
 he finally decided that Chief Walters
 was right in asking the mercy of the
 court for the old negro and so remit

, stated that Goldsmith had not been dismissed, but that he had voluntary quit the service of the city. He said that 1t had been reported to him that Mir. Goldsmith was hevoting more of his time to the affairs of the city than he was to the business of the depart ment and that he had gone to him and told him that for the good of the department he should desist from at tending to the affairs of the city and attend more strictly to the fire oe- l partment. This. he said, angered MT 1 Goldsmith and he quit.
 When seen this morning Mir Gold smith said that ne had heard the re- port that was current on the streets but that he had nothing to say on the subject and was content to let the matter drop. When asked if the flushing of the dead ends caused him to be dismissed from the service of the company he refused to talk on the subject. but said that he had | flushed them by tho direction of the mayor. Councilman Clay of the coun- ell committee on the fire department also knew nothing of the matter ex- cept that it had been reported to him and that he would probably investigate

New Telephone Line.

The new telephone line which has
been talked of for long time leading
out about s I-2 miles to the residence
of DR.. w. E. Lake has been about
completed and will be ready for use
in a very short time. This line was
built largely by DR.. w. E. Lake and
Mr.. R. L. Schumpert and Rev. H. W.
Whitaker who will have phones in
their houses. Mr.. |. H. Boulware will
also have a phone. We are glad to
see this enterprise on the part of these
progressive farmers. The telephone
and free delivery of mail in the rural
districts are doing much to make
country life not only pleasant but de-
sirable just one other thing is neces-
sary and that is better public high
ways. These will come in time and
when they do then you will see the
people who have business in the cit
les seeking country homes. If we had
a phone system out toward the Cald-
we'll community we would be in
speaking distance of almost the en-
tire county.

toes. They are of the culex solicitans
or Atlantic Coast striped legged mos
qultoes which breed in salt water
marshes. They are carried far on the
wings Of the wind Tie ancLheles !:
never found far from home. no mos
quito willingly goes far from home.
Ross states that he never found
| anophc IS mcie than one hundred and
fifty yards from home. They never
fly high from the ground. This ex-
| plains the fact long known, that those
who sleep up stairs are not so apt to
have chills and fever.
They may be carried far in R. R.
trains, on ships and in farmers loads
of hay from country to town and in
this way spread disease. They will
not live when packed in clothing in
trunks more than thirty hours. So it
would be useless to fumigate baggage,
from yellow fever district, two days
old.
The way to rid the world of yellow
fever is to exterminate the stegomyia
fascita. The ways to destroy malaria
are:
1st. To protect our dwelling houses
from mosquitoes by screens and if
necessary sleep under mosquito nets.
end. To wage an active, earnest
warfare against the pest. Drain pools,
ponds and marshes; and be careful
that no receptacles 70 hold water are
left about the premises. And in the
malarial season when pools and ponds
cannot be conveniently drained to use
petroleum oil sprinkled upon them,
the crude oil is best, one pint to every
diameter of twenty feet. The larvae
come to the surface every two minutes
to get air and the oil is sucked into
the delicate respiratory apparatus and
kills the larvae, in pond or pool it
is said in twenty minutes. The oil
should be used every two weeks.
Every case of malaria should be re-
ported to the health authorities and
screening should be required so that
mosquitoes would not become infect
ed.
Every case of malaria should have
thorough treatment with quinine so
that every malarial parasite in the
blood is destroyed.
The time will come when it will be
naisdemeanor to have mosquitoes
breeding on ones premises. 1t is so
now in some cities of the world Such
law exists, I am told, in Habana
and has accomplished wonderful re-
suits. Previous to 1900 when the u.
S. government took charge of the
city the average death rate for the
preceding ten years from yellow fever
was 462 annually. In 1901 there were
only five. In 1901 there were $50
cases of malaria. In the first four
months of 1902 there had occurred
only twenty-six cases of malaria.
Then is it not we'll to heed the
teaching of scientific and practical ex-
perience? And inaugurate war of
determination upon the mosquito and
rid the world of one Of it's greatest
scourges-nalaria.
