How to Get Rid of Flies.

Ten or fifteen cents worth OF
"Quassia Chipas," to be had at any
drug store, will rid house of flies
for an entire season. Cover the bot
tom of a plate or tin lid with the
chips. Cover with water and add a
little molasses or sugar. Place near
the window. The same chips can be
used over and over again by adding
water from time to time. The flies
are very fond of this sweetened quas-
sia water and the least sip is fatal to
them and they usually die within a
foot or two of the plate. For stores
groceries, meat shops, etc.-there
is nothing equal to this. Quassla
chips are not poisonous to men, Wo-
men, children or anything except

No Need for a Doctor.

DR.. Scott, a prominent physician,
had a ratient who suffered from
over-eating. Despite all warnings
every few weeks the doctor would be
called in to assuage the grief of his
patient. Once several months pass
ed without a summons, so that,
meeting his patient on the street,
the doctor asked:
How is it I haven't heard from
you in so long? Are you taking my
advice or my prescriptions, or have
you joined the ranks of the food
faddists?'
81 have done none of these
things" responded the former dys-
peptic. Il have found perfect rule
for permanent good health and be-
lieve I am done with doctors for
ever"
How is that?" asked the doctor.
"Well," calculated the discoverer,

careful to see that ! measure just
six inches from the edge of the table.

knights of Pythias.

Bamberg lodge, knights of Pyth-
las, held regular meeting in their
new lodge room Monday night, this
being the first time the hall was used.
The lodge not only has handsome new
furniture, but ali the regalia is also
new, the old regalia being destroyed
by fire when the old city hall was
burned.
The officers and members of the
lodge are determined to make Bam-
berg one of the leading lodges in the
State, and at the suggestion Of Bro.
W. r. Fishburne, of Columbia who
was present Monday night, two
working teams Will be organized to
solicit members. The lodge will also
organize a regular degre team, and
it is likely that the long form third
rank will be used later on.

New Lodge Room.

The new lodge room, on the third
floor of the new city hall building,
has been completed and the Masons
and knights of Pythias have moved
in. It is one of the handsomest lodge
rooms in the State, and is furnished
handsomely. There is nice carpet
on the floor and mating in the ante
rooms, while the furniture and
chairs are exceedingly handsome.
The hall is large and we'll ventilated,
and was designed to meet the needs
of these two secret orders. The Ma
sons and Knights have cause to be
proud of their new home, and no
doubt this great improvement will
result in an increase in membership
of both orders.
The hall is lighted with electric
lights, Tungsten lamps being used.

Will Deduct for Bagging.

We learn from cotton exporters IN
Savannah that this year the export
ers and mill men will deduct from
each bale of cotton with over six
wards of bagging the weight of the
extra bagging from the gross weight
of the cotton. The cotton buyers
and exporters therefore ask the gin
ners as we'll as the farmers not to
use over six yards of bagging to the
bale and thus save annoyance, as the
local buyers will be compelled to de-
duct from all bales having over six
yards of bagging.

CHILD At PLAY
BADLY HURT AS
WAGON HITS HIM
Severn Year=Old Frank LOrdi in
City Hospital in Critical
Condition.

Unheeding the warning of his brother
who was afraid that he might be late
for school, Frank Lordi, aged years,
continued his play on River street today
at $3.50 a. M, and a few minutes after
his brother had left him was thrown to
the pavement and, it is believed, criiti-
ca1ly injured by being run over by a
heavy truck owned by the Spring Mat
tress Company, of Lafayette street.
The driver of the truck is said by the
boys companions at the time of the
accident to have whipped up his horses
and made his escape, but the wagon
was recognized as being the property
of the Spring Mattress Company by
number of those who saw the accident.
The lad was carried to the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Lordi, at
100 Canal street, and a physician who
had been summoned ordered his re-
moval to the City Hospital
Here it was found that the boy had
sustained a compound fracture of the
lower jaw, where it is believed one of
the horses stepped upon him in passing.
The wheels of the heavy truck also
passed over his chest. and it is believed
that he is internally injured. He is the
youngest of four brothers.. and only
began going to the Lawrence Street
School few weeks ago
When it became known at the First
Precinct that young Lordi was In such
a critical condition, Piainclothesmen
Crawford and Smith were detailed on
the case. with instructions from Cap
tain Ryan to place the driver under ar
rest as soon as his Identity became
known. With the information from the
lads 12-year- old brother that the wagon
was the property of the Spring Mat
tress Company, of Lafayette street, the
sleuths expressed themseles as being
confident that they would have the
driver under arrest within the next few
hours
