Eva wagrier, daughter of the celebrated composer and living with her mother at wahnfried is engaged to be marrted to Houston Stewart ChamberlaiR an. Englishman of some eminsncc. as Wagner writer. who has resided since his boyhood In Germany and Austria.
 Eva Wagner Is nearly 50 years old and has not inherited the musical ge- 'nius of the father nor the striking beauty of her mother, q daughter of the famous Abbe Liszt. But she fs extreme- ly well versed in the literature Of her fathers art, and is spoken of as being kind and gracious.
 MT. Chamberiain is s5. He has wholly Identified himself with things German and his literary work fs almost .exctu- siveiy in the German language He has written largely oh Wagner and hts operas. Throughout his work there Is a singuiar mystic strain which prom ises to create school by itself. His work "The Principles of the Nineteenth Century" is regarded by Empsrcr Wii- liam as epoch making. More than once Chamberlain and the Emperor have met and exchanged ideas on >the mystical side of music and on art generally.
 Siegfrled Wagner. Eva's only brother, is bachelor and is credited with a mony. He seldom enters society and leads somewhat lonely life with his piano and books at Wahnfried. He IS working on two more operas dealing with fairy subjects taken from 0rtmm,s tales, but reports about them which have filtered through to the papers are not promising. The four operas already published by siegfried were all disma' failures.

EXTERMINATE THE MOSQUITO
A Second Appeal to City Authorities
TO Take Steps Toward the Extcr-
nlination Of the Germ. CARVING
Pests.
Editor Item:

Editor Item:
something over a year ago the
writer, through your columns. called
attention to the mosquito nuisance.
suggesting that systematic effort
ought to be made to get rid Of these
pain inficting and sleep destroying
pests. and while the suggestion met
with no response, he begs to renew
1t and to insist that 1t is perfectly DOS
sible to get rid of them and, II this
contention be true. that they should
be exterminated without further de-
lay.
1t IL no exaggeration to say that It
would be worth. in the way OF COM
fort and health. good many thou
sand dollars to the city to get rid of
them and every citizen should take
part in the war Of determination. It
Is utterly impossible for the eggs to
hatch except in stagnant water, but
1t takes only very small quantity of
this to supply a whole neighborhood
with bountiful supply of mosqui-
toes. An old tin can, carelessly
thrown out. and little rain water is
all the mosquito wants. and for this
kindness on the part Of this hnman
friend, he returns evil for good and
exacts his tribute of blood. The fe-
male mosquito does not. unfortunate-
IL, have to depend on the old tin can
as place to deposit, having choice
Of three other places, all Of which are
utilized, these places being standing
water, in low places, holes in trees,
and sagging gutter pipes there being
an ample supply Of all these places
In the city.
The fight that Is being made against
consumption, or tuberculosis, to use
the new name for this truly terrible
scourge. Is commendable from every
standpoint, but there are other things
that are conducive to health that need
looking after, and these should, by
no means. be neglected. 1t has been
shown, beyond the shadow Of doubt,
that mosquitoes are disease carriers,
and this alone furnishes a sufficient
incentive for their determination
Sound and refreshing sleep is abso-
lutely essential to health, but it is
impossible to secure this where mos
quitoes arefpresent.
There can be no question Of the
fact that the outlook for the future
erowth and prosperity of Sumter is
very encouraging. and it becomes the
duty Of every citizen to make every
possible effort to make this outlook
realization. keeping ever in mind
Wesley's famous saying that "cleanli-
ness Is next to Godliness;" remember
ing also that clean city means
healthy city. No city can be called
healthy that is infested by mosqui-
toes. w. d. WOODS.
