Seldom is a second thought given
to the common house fly. 1t has al
ways been considered a nuisance, but
recent studies have shown it to be
very much more than a mere nuis-
ance. The germs OF intestinal and
filth diseases are readily carried in
large numbers from the eXcreta Of
patients suffering from typhoid. dys-
cntery and cholera direct to food in
tended for human consumption and
even to the fingers and face and lips
OF babe or sleeping person.
Flies breed in filth and offal Of any
kind, prcferring above all else the
fresh droppings Of horses and mules.
Large numbers will develop in hu-
man eXcrement and in garbage bar
rclS, at places where dish water is
thrown out and wherever decaying
animal or vegetable matter occurs.
The adult flies are constantly pass
ing back and forth from such mate
rials, where they deposit their eggs.
to other materials upon which they
themselves feed. They prefer sweets.
but are attracted by almost any kind
of human food.
Flies do not ordinarily travel to
any great distance, and if a little
care is taken their numbers may be
greatly reduced. Especially does the
farmer have the chance OF abatin Q
the pest so far as his own premises
arc concerned.
The eggs laid by flies hatch in
about day into the familiar white
maggotS. After about five days spent
feeding, If the food supply is unlim-
tied, and a couple OF days in a rest
ing stage, the adult flies appear. It
takes them slightly more than a
week from fly to fly. If manure can
be disposed Of, hauled to either the
lleld or compost heap some dist
ance from the house every five to
seven days, no flies will be able to
develop. IT 1t is not possible to thus
dispose OF the manure, it may be pos
SlDle TO provide a room, dark and
thoroughly screened, into which the
manure may be put until it can be
disposed Of.
Of all the substances used to kill
or repcl flies the one which has
proven most satisfactory Is ordinary
air Slakcd lime. Lime is first class
dcoanrant. a free use Of it around
ell stables, privies and garbage cans
Will cause those places TO lose hall
OF their diSagrceablc features, and
they will cease to be attractions and
breeding places for that menace tC

DENIES INsURGENT VICTORIES.
President NIadriz Intimatcs Insur.
gents Not Worst Difficulty.

Manaugua, Nicaragua, June S.
Reports Of alleged insurgent vlcto-
ries at Bluefields and Rama have
been filing into Manaugua and these,
coupled with the movements Of the
Nicaraguan forces under Gems. Lara
GodOy and Chavarria, have occasion
ed some temporary alarm among the
adherents of the government
President Madriz to-day deemed 1t
advisable to issue an official denial
OF these reports, and at the same
time he intimated that If the govern
ment had only the insurgents to deal
with, 1t would have crushed the revo-
luton long ago. In his statement the
President says:
'The report Of Gen. Chavarria' S
defeat Is absolutely false. For purely
military reasons his column. which
was operating against Rama, was or
dered to fall back on Muelle de Los
BcuyOS, where 1t arrived to-day In
perfect order with all military stores.
Owing to the difficulty Of transport
ing provisions to the troops operat-
ing at Bluetields, because OF the
heavy rains, Gen. Lara and Godoys
columns were ordered to retire on
Ell Admendro
Our military position is entirely
advantageous, as results will very
shortly show. IT Bluefields were only
defended by the revolutionists we
would have captured 1t long ago"

TO HONOR THE VITIGI,A Ms.

At last the time is drawing near
when the people OF Oconee will be
able to view the visible token Of love
and honor to the Confederate dead
OF this county. The shaft has been
erected In Walhalla and now stands
yelled at the intersection Of Main and
College streets, and will remain thus
until the 2lst day Of July, on which
date, If present plans are carried out
this handsome memorial to the Con-
fcdcrate dead Of Oconce will be un-
veilcd.
The selection OF that date is pe-
cullarly appropriate. 1t was on the
21st day Of July, 1861, that the COM
panies mustered into the service Of
the Confederacy from Oconec (then
Pickens DistricD engaged in their
first battle. They were in the front
ranks at First Manassas on that
date, and though they had seen con-
siderable service in Skirmishes and
minor battles during the short time
that they had been at the front. and
though they saw more severe service
during the four years Of that long
and bloody conflict. the 21st Of July
was in reality the initiation OF Oco-
nce'S soldiers into the hardships and
trials Of battle.
Oconee furnished three companies
for the war though at the beginning
they were enlisted for only twelve
months. These companies were the
First, under Capt. IT, w. Fitzpatrick:
Jr., and the Third, under Capt. Jas.
Griffin. All Of these did valiant ser
vice for the cause Of the Confede-
racy, and there were no better sol
diers in the ranks than those who
went to the front from old Oconco.
They were in the thick of the fight
at the beginning OF the war. and to
the end were found ready to do and
dare for their country.
1t is indeed fitting that this hand
some memorial should have the veil
drawn and that its graceful out
lines should be thrown open to
public view on this the anniver-
SaiN or the day on which OcO-
ncc'S soldiers were initiated into
the four years struggle for the
cause OF the South, which they
nohly helped to defend. and from
which, though they were defeated
they emerged more than conQucrors.
1t is to be hoped that all arrange
mcntS can be perfected to have the
unNoiling take place on the 2lSt OF
,Iuiy. Plans are under way and will
be pushed cnergctically to have
everything in readiness on that date
Every citizen OF OcOncc ought to be
interested in this token Of love and
reverence for the men Of our coun-
try who went to the front. and cerc-
monies beftting the occasion Of the
unV@iling should appeal to the Datri-
ollSm OF citizens far and near.

NJ. II. Preachers May Use Tobacco

Among the many things discussed
at the recent session of the Metho-
dist General Conference at Asheville.
\. e., the proposition to hereafter
bar ministers who use tobacco from
the conference, created much per-
sonal interest among the preachers.
and general merriment among lay
men and spectators. BY. vote of
l3l to 1877, conference refused to
prohibit preachers from using tobac-
co, but passed resolution advising
and admonishing them not to indulge
in its use.
One OF the most humorous, yet I'M
prcsSive speeches made on the uues-
tion was by Rev. Vouglct, Of Ken
tucky. He said that one time some
night riders were being tried. A
friend OF the prosecuting attorney
asked him if he thought he would
convict them. The attorney said
- am not great lawyer, and three
fourths Of the men on that jury are
night riders. DO YOU think that !
can convict thcm?' The preacher
said that he was not great preach
cr, and probably thrcc-fourthS or the
conference used tobacco. and he ask
ed II 1t was expected that members
should vote the cigars and tobacco
out Of their mouths. He made very
able speech against preachers using
tobacco, and the proposition lacked
only four votes of passing. 1t was
the closest vote had at the confer
cncc. Those who voted against to-
baccO are called saints. and the 9th.
crs are called sinners.
