There Are Others.

Spartanburg recently published a very
pretty little pamphlet entitled Come to
Spartanburg". 1t makes a splendid show
ing for the Spartan city, but some claims
are made that do not comport with the
fact. We cite for instance the following:
%Spartanburg has two Of the five largest
banks in the State, each with more than
half a million capital, and with its six
other banks and its large and successful
Building and Loan. Associations, money
is not hard to obtain for the prosecution
of business and the development OF enter
prises. There was only one city in Geor=
gia or the Carolinas which, during the late
panic, did not have to issue clearing house
certificates, and which paid all deposltors
In full on demand, without restriction,
~Spartanburg was that city.
The fact is this city did not issue clear
ing house certificates, it's business was
not seriously disturbed during the panic
and these facts were not thought particu-
larry worthy Of note. There are fewer
failures in Abbeville than in any city in
the State.

On last Saturday morning Mr.. Robert
Sharp seeing something floating over his
place took a crack at it with a shot gun
loa ded with bird shot. MIR. Sharp AYERS
that after the shot he saw several holes in
the thing" but it did not come down, nor
did it change its course.
George Devlin, colored, claims that he
nnnched. three holes in it with his mnsket.
The balloon was probably a half mile high
and we'll out of shot gun range.
Not long since, several used a rifle on a

THE HousEFLY.

Hitherto the fly has been regarded
complacently as a harmless nui-
sance and considered to be an an
noying creature with great persist
ence and excessive familiarity. Re-
garded in the light of recent knowl-
edge, the fly is more dangerous than
the lion or some venomous reptile.
Worse than that, he is at least in
our climate much more to be feared
than the mosquito and he may easily
be classed as the most dangerous an
imal on earth.
Wherever there are open sewers
or garbage piles or heap or manure,
or stack of oyster shells or exposed
human excreta or fostering corpses
of animals, or Wondering paper or
decaying vegetables - in short,
wherever there is filth-the fly ex-
lists, for the fly breeds in filth. The
solution Of the problem is to extermi-
nate the fly That sounds like a big
task. Perhaps It is. SO it is a big
task to exterminate the mosquito.
Yet when we found that the mosqui-
to was our enemy we made warfare
upon him. The yellow fever-bearing
steSoHiyia has been subdued The
