singly on the freshly dropped dung OF
cattle, chiefly during the warm hours
Of the day. They are one-twentieth OF
an inch In length. brown in color and
are not easily seen when laid. The
young maggots hatch from the eggs
in less than "a hours and at once bur
row q short distance beneath the sur.
face of the dung. Here they remain
until full grown. feeding on the liquid
portions OF the manure. This is their
only food, and all stories about their
boring into the horns. etc, are untrue.
When the maggots are full-grown,
which takes about a week, they are
three-eighths Of an inch in length,
shaped as shown In b, and are dirty
white color. They descend a short dis.
tance into the ground to pupate, and
the dark brown pupa-cases are one
eighth of an inch In length. During
the hot weather OF summer the pupal
state lasts only four or five days, but
the last brood passes the winter in
this condition short distance beneath
the surface OF the ground, and the flies
emerge in the spring. The perfect In
sect (d) male, is shaped much like the
common cattle fly (StomoXys calci-
trams), or the house fly; but 1t Is
smaller, being only one sixteenth Of an
inch in length, or about one-third the
size Of these insects. The head con-
sists almost entirely OF the darkred
silvery edged eyes. but bears on its
lower surface the black dagger.shaped
tongue which Is the cause of SO much
torture to cattle.
The flies form more or less com
plete ring around the h,'rn, extending
from two to four inches
from the base of the horn toward the
tip as shown.
The clustering on the horns seems
TO be peculiar to this species. The
horn fly does not bite horses and other
animals. but seems TO coniine Its at.

Fell Dead While Playing Base Ball.

At Schley school house in Lit
tle River township. about Z miles
northeast of town, on Wednes-
day, January 18th, during the
hour of recess between IL and ]
o'clock and while the boys were
playing base ball, Will Brown
son of Mrs. Julia Brown, aged
about II years, fell dead while
making a run. He had reached
third base when ne exclaimed to
some one "Ain't it hot!" and
fell dead. The young man was
subject to heart trouble and had
been warned not to exert him
self too much. He was the
main support of sthe family
and the pet of mother and sisters.
The sad news was a great shock
to his mother and for hours it
was feared that it would prove
fatal. The funeral and burial
took place at New Sharon Thurs
day afternoon at twilight, Rev.
M. NJ. Mcfarland officiating. -

Playing Detective.

Tuesday night a man by the
uame of Strickland reported to
the police that a badly wanted
man had shot at him while they
were talking in East Durham,
and that as soon as the shot had
been fired the man escaped.
Search was made by the officers
but nothing definite was found.
When the matter was reported
ID. 7. Strickland. the man that
was the object of the bullet, said
he was a detective and thought
the man that shot at him was a
man by the name of Emerson,
wanted in South Carolina for
murder. When it was called to
the attention of the officers that
the man mentioned had surrend-
cred on Monday, they became
somewhat suspicious and investi-
cation resulted in the arrest of
Strickland, what said that he had
been a detective some time ago,
but had failed to keep his
credentials. He was given a
hearing before the mayor for
carrying concealed weapon and
was bound over to court under q
bond Of SIS. .s b.. ....- 4..

COMPROMISE m CIVIL COURT.
Many Cases Settled Some Continued
Others Are Being Tried.

II i
The superior court is working
away on civil cases this week
and court officers and lawyers
are busy. Following is a list OF
cases disposed of:
There is now pending a de-
cision of the supreme court a
matter that concerns the Royal
Arcanum fraternity. In the in
surance matter of A. G. Brenizer,
of Charlotte, there is a decision
that will regulate all matters of
that kindin the future. In Dur
ham three suits, have been
thrown into court against the
Arcanum and these are all held
in allegiance upon these terms.
That A. A. Couch VS.. Royal Ar
canum. John Bustard VS.. Royal
Arcanum and j. B. Walker VS..
Royal Arcanum will have these
cases continued until the SUI
preme court of the United States
and the council of the Royal Ar
canum settle the matter between
Brenizer and the Arcanum.
If the. fraternity is in error,
| the future cases here will be ad-
justed by that decision and if
the plaintiff Brenizer is in error
the opposite will hold good. In
other words, each agrees to
abide the result and to withdraw
the cases upon the announcement
of that decision. eSs
i IL was agreed that in the case
of j. B. Warren VS.. B. w. Man.
gum the judgment having been
paid. the case IS dismissed by
the defendants payment of costs.
i The supreme court decides
against the Blackwell DnrhaE
Tobacco company in its suit

company and that matter was
taken, from the docket with the
costs on the plaintiff.

MAY ABANDON GRAND
PRIX AUTOMOBILE RACE.

PARIS, July 21.-At a regular meet
ing of the sporting committee of he
Auto Club of France here yesterday a
proposition was informally discussed to
abandon the Grand Prix, as advocated
by Marquis De Dion, president of the
club, and his friends, on the ground
that a contest for specially constructed
racing machines, with the almost in
variable attendant accidents n loss
of life, was not justified from the
standpoint of either sport or as a test
of the merits of machines manufac-
tured for the public. A decision was
postponed until the September meeting.
The preponderance of sentiment at
the meeting seemed strongly opposed
to the abandonment of the blue ribbon
of the automobile world until the
French have an opportunity to retrieve
the disastrous defeat of July 7, when
the event was won by a German car.
