NO CIRCUIT COURT.
Much Work For Farmers and
Little Business On Docket.

Circuit Court convened on Mon
day morning. The grand jury
was selected and sworn and excus>
ed until the fourth Monday in
this month. The list of petit ju-
rors was then called. All were
excused until the fourth Monday.
Judge Young explained by saying
that the farmers were very busy
with their tobacco and he could
not himself give proper attention
to business if he had tobacco out.
He then received report of court
officials. All cases were continued.

TEXAS LETTER.
J. B. SaIyer Tells of Great
Drought and Other Farming
Conditions.

MOODY, Tex, Sept. 2, '09.
Editor ADvooATE-Dear Sir:
see in your paper where much wet
weather there has injured the crops.
1t is just the reverse with us peo-
pie in McLeman county. 1t hasn't
rained a good rain here since in
May when we had a regular flood. }
Corn didn't make 5 bushels to the
acre, and it is no good what was
made, and cotton is only a half
crop, but is selling for 4 good
price-better than for years
which will about make up for the
failure of the corn crop. Cotton
is selling at 129c per pound and
still going up, and we get So pre-
MUM from the ginners for the
privilege of ginning it with them,
which will bring us SIS to $50 per
bale. 1t has been so hot and dry
here nothing could grow but cot
ton.
The thermometer has ranged
from SO to III in the shade and
the ground would cook an egg
hard and the hot winds from the
north would almost burn your face.
1t is still hot and dry. There is a
good deal of sickness and deaths
from typhoid fever. Water is
scarce-some folks have to haul
for several miles.
The Lord has blessed me and
family with good health so far.
People are not discouraged very
much. They are preparing their
land for next year. They say I'VE
have first a good year then a bad
One." Land and everything else
is still advancing in value.
Hoping this will be of interest
to my friends in Kentucky, / will
close.
Respectfully yours,
JNo. B. SALYER.
p. S.-See Births. Editor.

vent typhoid fever. Have the ed
tor of your paper publish the
article.

Police Court.

During fair week twelve trans
gressors answered for their folly,
before his honor, Judge Senff, of
the Police Court. Possibly the
police were so much engrossed in
looking after the welfare of the
many thousands that some who
had imbibed too much of the over
joyful were overlooked. The great
dragnet caught the unsuspecting
on Saturday night and on Monday
morning twenty-six unfortunates,
mostly black, heard those familiar
words: Five and the Cost" Two,
dark as midnight, received $50
and trimmings for gaming. The
city treasury is fusher by $3.50.
One young white boy, aged 10,
had too much Maysville street
liquor on Saturday night-he did
know who sold it, or the name of
the street. His forgotten worked
like charm, but. he was admOn-
ished to appear before the grand
jury (which was to have convened
on Monday, but which was ex-
cused until the fourth Monday.)

lime solution for an hour, and
may then be safely put in the
family wash. Soiled paper or
clothes used about the patient
should be Immediately burned.
Attendants should wash the hands
and lips frequently, and rinse the
mouth always before eating. No
one should partake of any food
which has stood in the sick room.
All of these precautions should be
continued until the recovery is
complete and until all diarrhoea
has ceased, and for several weeks
with the urine.
a Typhoid fever is not conta-
gious in the sense commonly un-
derstood, and if the precautions
above indicated are faithfully and
intelligently carried out, a case
may he treated in any family or
community with perfect safety.
If others have the disease, it will
be because they were infected
from the same source as the pa
tient, or contracted it elsewhere.
Essentially the same precautions
should be observed in dysentery
and all other diarrheal diseases,
including summer complaint in
children.
5 All we'll water, and unfiltered
water from rivers draining in
habited areas, where typhoid
fever and diarrheal diseases are
likely to occur at any time, and
milk stored in cans or vessels
washed in such water, should be
looked upon as suspicious, and
should alway be boiled before it
is drunk by any one not immune
from typhoid fever.
E The windows and doors of all
dwelling houses, and especially of
the kitchen and dining room,
should always be well screened,
and the flies actually kept out.
The universal and effectual prac-
tice of these precautions will re-
quire intelligent care and some eX-
pense, but would result in the
practical disappearance of one of
our most common and fatal do
nestle pestilences, which is not
only a disgrace to our civilization,
but an annual scourge and tax
upon the people of Kentucky in
comparison with which yellow
fever and cholera, plague and
other exotic diseases, SO feared by
our people, sink into insignif-
canoe.

already entered for the flight. and thinks
it will be won by lighter-than-air ma

Rheostat eBing Tried Out.
It is understood that one of the plans
by which the brothers are trying to get
the machine under the needed control is
by use of a contrivance like rheostat
for speeding the engine up or down with
out stopping it. Owing to the pecu-
liarity Of the engine, which has no car
buretor and runs off set magnetic. it
cannot be throttled like an ordinary au-
tomobile engine. 1t has to be set to run
at given speed before the flight.
What the Wrights are trying to perfect
is a rheostat arrangement that will permit
it to be run at varying speeds. Thls Will
have two advantages. If a landing has
to be made during cross-country flight
the aviator can pick his landing place
more easily, and after starting to de-
scend can speed up and go on IL the
ground proves unfavorable.
But the most important consideration is
that it will enable the machine to fly
with the least possible consumption o.
gasoline If it takes full power for the
machine to get into the air, this power
can be cut down during the flight when
the conditions are favorable.
The machine is carrying a smaller
amount of gasoline this year than last. it
being one Of the directions in which
weight can be easiest saved with the re-
duced lifting power of the smaller ma
chine The aeroplane. according to con-
tract. has TO carry fuel enough for
fight of 125 miles. II the engine can be
throttled down in fiict this will effect
