All. yes. the old home stands tod.,
Just 40 It did Of yore. and oftentime.

He'll not go home this year. A.

MOSQUITOES BY THE MILLION
Gulf Coast Swarmine With Insect
Pests.

New Orleans, lathe entire Gulf
coast Of Louisiana and Mississippi is
suffering from a plague of mosquitoes.
Millions of the pests are swarming
over that region, making life almost
unbearable to inhabitants. Many New
Orleans families who went to the coast
to spend the summer have returned
to this city and will spend the re-
mainder of the season at home. ami
mails are being driven frantic by the
mosquitoes and in some localities tie
horses and mules are dying.
Wild animals in the swamps Of the
rivers and bayous have been forced to
flee many niles in an effort to outrun
the mosquitoes and in some instances
deer have gone into the cities and
towns in their flight from the winged
pests. In the southwestern part Of
Louisiana several large saw mills ann
factories have closed down because
Their employees have refused to stand
the torture of fighting mosquitoes and
trying to work at the same time.

COTTON MILLS CURTAILED

Spartanburg, S. C.-Reports show.
ing that 3,G22,O0 spindles out of the
Sill, 900 spindles represented in the
South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers
Association will be stopped at least a
portion of the time in July and Au-
gust were presented at the meeting
of the association held here Tuesday
morning. Some Of the mills repre-
scented in the association are not now,
and never have been, in operation,
thus making the curtailment move
ment practically unanimous.
1t is estimated this will mean a re-
duction in output amounting to $500
600 pieces Of cloth. A meeting of the
executive committee has beer called
to consider further curtailment, to be
held in the latter part Of August or
early in September.

Ropke's shortage is placed by cur

case was set for hearing before the

returned to Jail, in default of $25,OOo
bail
Although no statement could be Sc

A report was current Tuesday that he

He is said to have used the money

Sweeps His Machine Up 1900 Feet In

Atlantic City, N. Glenn Curtiss
set an American record for a fifty
mile flight In an aeroplane Monday
afternoon by covering the distance in
five-mile laps along the beach in !
hour IA minutes and SO seconds. Cur
tiss was in the air IN hour and thirty
minutes, and spent one hour twenty
N minutes and five seconds on the
course, six minutes and six seconds
being deducted for the turn at the two
ends Of the two and one-half mile
course.
In the early evening Curtiss set q
new mark for quick climbing by
sweeping his machine 1000 fe9t In
the air in five minutes and ifty-one
seconds.
At the end Of his flight Curtiss de
clared that his engine worked perfect
ly, and expressed his belief that the
added weight he vas forced to carry
in emergency apparatus, in case oil
faIlig into the sea and the necessity
of running partly into the wind to keep
in the course, held him back at least
fifteen miles an hour.
Curtiss' contract ended Monday
night, leaving Brookins in possession
of the $4,000 altitude prize, won on
Saturday evening, when he made q
worlds record OF 6,175 feet, and which
will be given to him tomorrow. The
Wright aviator has not yet announced
whether he will go after the ffty-mile
prize OF $4,000, which will otherwise
