He Reported Richland to Be Grow
ing, and With Bright Prospects.
Editor L. Ponder of the Richland
Georgian was in Dawson Saturday,
and made pleasant call at The
News office. He reported Richland
to be steadily growing, and was en-
thusiastic over the outlook for his
town. The Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama and the Seaboard Air Line
railroads will erect at once a hand
some union passenger depot to cost
SIS, 600, and it is believed that the
former road will soon remove it's
shops to Richland, as it has recently
bought a large tract of land near
the limits of the town. The G. F.
& A. is now laying track in Rich
land, and will soon run it's train
into the town on it's own track in
stead of the Seaboard's, which it
has been using since it's extension to
Kimbrough.

METERS WORKING OVERTIME +?
Big Water Bills Cause Complaint, and
Suggestion That the Measuring
Apparatus Is Too Energetic.


Apparatus Is Too Energetic.
Although everybody in Dawson
rides on the water wagon-when
they're not off of it-there is a time
once every three months when there
is almost universal kick about water
and complaint by citizens generally
that too much of it mas 0een meas
ured out to them.
That time is when Jimmie Collier
goes out collecting for the city's wa
ter department, and Mr.. Citizen be-
comes aware of the bigness of his
bill
There have been divers and sun
dry kicks and the council appealed
to for relief, which was sometimes
granted and sometimes denied.
One of the latest compliments is
DR.. J. G. Dean, who appeared before
the council Tuesday night and OBJ
jected to the size of his water bills
for the past quarter, and said he
believed the meters were inaccurate
and therefore had been guilty OF
reprehensible conduct in measuring
and charging up so much water to
him. The complaint and bills were
Breferred to the proper officials for
adjustment.
There are any number of citizens
who believe the meters, which are
always on the job, are too industri-
Gus, and If DR.. Dean succeeds in
catching them in the act he will
be proclaimed hero of the day by
| Messrs. Citizens.

Advertising Pays (The Advertiser.)

Advertising properly carried on
will sell anything, it matters not
what that thing is.
The thing to do nowadays is to
decide what not ia buy, and it often
takes technical knowledge to make
a proper decision.
The fact that one page for one
issue in the Saturday Evening Post
costs the advertiser three thousand
dollars ought to convince any man
that advertising pays. .,t

In Fee, the capital of Morocco, most

ing the rooms. All the windows and
doors open out into the patio or court
yard, the window openings in the up
per stories being covered with close
trellis-work. All the houses have flat
roofs, with wall some four to six
feet high running around, and from
p. m. until sunset the roofs are given
over to the ladies exclusively, who can
then walk about and take the fresh
air without being seen by any of the
opposite sex. This reservation is a
law which is never broken, and no
man would be guilty of being seen on
his or on any other roof during tn,
forbidden hours. Owing to the fact
that the women Of the house are not
allowed to be seen by any other man
than their lord and master all domes
tic offices are situated away from the
house proper. In many of the larger
houses, besides the water fountains,
others playing scent or scented water
are to be found. Sections of the court
yard also are slightly sunk, and these
portions are filled with scented oil,
which is used to perfume the rooms.
The Moors are exceptionally particu.
lar in discarding their foot gear be-.
fore entering a room or crossing a
rug or carpet. They even change slip
pers before entering the courtyard
from the street. Thus the houses are
kept beautifully clean and sweet and
are not, as many people would sup
pose musty or close.

ANTS DESTRoYERS OF FLIES
Why II ls That Inhabitants Of the
Philippines Are Free Of Ono
Insect Pest.

Capt Percy L. Jones of the army
medical corps, reports that flies are
comparatively rare in the Philippines
because of species of ant which con-
sumes the larvae of the fly with
avidity.
Upon watching these ants attack
fly larvae" he says, ut is interesting
to note that they do SO in way
which proves that they are no novices
at the procedure. One will attack an
extremity and apparently bite 1t, and
as soon as the larvae begins to coil
and make efforts to escape numbers
of others will Immediately Jump upon
1t, and in the course of few mo-
ments the larvae will be apparently
dead.
Il believe that the ant introduces
some venom in the act of biting,
formic acid in character, which pre-
serves the larvae as food until such
time as the ant needs it-cans it, in
other words. AS soon as the strug-
giles Of the larvae have ceased they
haul 1t off to their nests and return
for others. In many instances / have
seen them carry away pupae. 1t will
be interesting for the reader to pro-
cure few maggots. and place them
over an ant bed"
So far as is known this species Of
ant is not found in the United States
and indeed is not yet classified. Cap
tain Jones has considered the prac-
ticabllity OF introducing 1t into coun-
tries where the determination of the
fly is destined to become an impor-
tant feature of sanitation. This ant
is said to be an energetic destroyer
Of bed bugs as well as of flies.-From
the Military Surgeon.
