His lnaIienable Right.

When Willie goes to school next
week he will have a new teacher.
The new teacher will like Willie
when she begins to know him, but the
process maya take several terms.
Willies teacher began to like him
lust before the close of the school
year. and she testified to her affection
by offering him a pocketknife.
There, Willie" she said, you have
tried so hard to be a good boy that |
am going to give you this nice four
bladed pocketknife-but you must
promise me never to cut the school
furniture with it."
Take it back, teacher" said Willie

Partisanship.
In years gone by, Senators and
Representatives in Congress devoted
themselves with a most commenda-
BILE degree of patriotism 10 the con-
sideration Of the merits and dement's
of propositions presented by it's mem
bers, but to-day practically all ques-
tions are considered from the stand
point of party advantage or disad-
vantage. Our people would have rea-
son to take fresh hold If Congress
would yield just one hour occasional
ly to a non-partisan consideration of
their interest, and not devote its en-
tire time to partizan consideration.
1 believe that Southern Representa-
tives could lately have engaged them
selves in an effort Of diplomacy that
would have been of untold value to
the South Atlantic States at least,
and that is in the matter of recent
heavy export tax levied by the Ger
man upon the potash or kainit salt
mined and exported for the use OF
our farmers from that country. The
Germans are large customers of ours
in cotton, the cotton seed oil from
the South, and surely representations
could have been made in united
way that would have saved the farm
er some things from the added bur-
den of this tax Ii one single dol
lar per ton could have been saved,
it would have amounted to more
solid benefit to the people than all
the partizan debate indulged in
during the present session. Much
that we have for sale in foreign coun-
tries encounter impediments that are
costly to our people. The national
government itself places handicaps
on some of our products in our own
market, and the removal Of these i'm
bargos and handicaps might occupy
the attention of the Southern Con-
gressmen in a way that would be
profitable to our people.
The foregoing gives, in crude
and incomplete way some Of my
views on the course to be pursued Dy
a national representative. hope to
meet the Democratic voters in the
district from time to time, and dis
cuss these matters more completely.
In the meantime I would be thank
full for a word of criticism from any
Of our citizens.

KILLED BY ACCIDENT.
F.. A. Fuller Dies from Accidental
Wound.

Mccormick, June 1S.-E. A. Full
ler, of Mccormick, travelling sales
man, was accidently shot in the leg
by James F. Edmunds on Stevens
creek this afternoon. The bullet
which was from Winchester rife,
struck Mr.. Fuller's leg between the
knee and the ankle, shattering both
the bones. It will be necessary to
ampurate Mr.. Fuller's leg at the
knee. Mr.. Fuller's condition is not
considered critical.
Both Mr.. Fuller and Mr.. Edmunds
were members of fishing party
which went to Stevens creek this
morning They took the rifle with
them and this afternoon were shoot
ing at a mark. Mr.. Edmunds was
reloading the rifle when the accident
occurred.
Mr.. Fuller was taken to hospital
in Augusta on the afternoon train.
Mccormick, June 19.-E., A. Full
ler, who was accidentally shot in the
leg en- Stevens creek with fishing
party. by James F. Edmunds, died
from hemorrhage at $50 o'clock this
morning in the hospital in Augusta,
where he was taken Immediately af-
ter the accident.
Mr.. Fuller, until recently, had been
engaged in the mercantile business
here, when the fire destroyed his
store with the largest business por-
ton of the town, which necessitated
his going out of business for the lack
of store room. Since then he has
been travelling.
Mr.. Fuller was 29 years of age.
He was reared at Longmires, in Edge
field, ten miles from here.

House Flies.

Seldom is a second thought given
to the common house fly. 1t has al
ways been considered nuisance, but
recent studies have shown it to be
very much more than mere nui-
sance. The germs of intestinal and
filth diseases are readily carried in
large numbers from the excreta of
patients suffering from typhoid,
dysentery and cholera direct to food
intended 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, perferring above all else
the fresh droppings of horses and
mules. Large numbers will develop
in human excrement and in garbage
barrels, at places where dish water
is thrown out and wherever decay
ing animal or vegetable matter oc-
ours.
The adult flies are constantly pass
ing back and forth from such ma
terials, 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 little
care is taken, their numbers may be
reduced. Especially does the farmer
have the chance of abating the pest
so far as his own premises are con-
cerned.
The eggs laid by flies hatch in
about a day into the familiar white
maggots. After about five days
spent feeding, if the food supply is
unlimited, and couple of days in
resting stage, the adult flies ap'
pear. 1t takes them slightly more
than week from fly to fly. If ma
nure can be disposed of, hauled to
either the field or a compost heap
some distance from the house every
five to seven days, no flies will be
able to develop. If it is not posi-
BILE to thus dispose of the manure
it may be possible 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 OF
repel flies the one which has proven
most satisfactory is ordinary air,
Stacked lime. Lime is a frst-class
deodorant. A free use of it around
all stables, privies and garbage cans
will cause those places to lose hall
of their disagreeable features, and
they will cease to be attractions and
breeding places for that menace tt
health-the common house fly.

Life of a Steel Frame Building.

The tearing down of a 19-story
building in New York while still new,
to make room for 39-story building,
as related in yesterdays Star, has
revived the question: What is the
natural life of a steel-frame build
ing?" The question is really of more
interest than Importance, because OBJ
servation leads to the conclusion that
a steel-frame building has about as
much chance of living out its natural
life as an Alberta steer. To answer
the question may take many cen
turies, or it may come with bewil-
dering suddenness. In the former
case, it will be a freak structure of
some kind that will supply the an
swer to the riddle. Steel-frame build
ings, like pie crusts, are made to be
broken, and it is astounding how
soon the crusts get stale. This is not
because they are made of steel; 1t is
because they are the last word In
the way of big building construction
with or without reinforced con-
crete And the latest word on
building construction is apt to be
spoken on the main thoroughfares of
city life-and in these streets there
is no finility. The good Methodist
fathers who built old st. James
Street Methodist church probably
thought that they were building for
many generations, if not for all time.
The gentlemen who built the temple
building on the site Of the old church,
doubtless, never dreamed that they
would live to see another and a
grander building on the same site.
On this continent, nothing lasts for
long. In London, Christopher Wren's
churches are still landmarks and still
sacred. In Montreal we see gothic
windows in Office buildings, spires on
printing Offices, and traces of eccle-
siastical origin in cigar factroies and
department. stores. "Wise men die, y
saith the Psalmist, likewise the fool
and the british person perish and
leave their wealth to others. Their
inward thought is that their houses
shall continue forever and their
dwelling places to all generations:
they call their lands after their own
Names Not even steel frames and
reinforced concrete can do it. In
the main streets of city life where
steel frames and reinforced concrete
do mostly congregate, there is tire
of private circumstances and public
interest, which day after day arises
and beats upon those houses, and
eventually great is the fall thereof.
The phenomenon is common in New
York, it is becoming familiar here.
Many a machine is thrown on to the
scrap heap while still as good as the
day it left the factory-because some
thing better has been invented. In
the same way, many building is
pulled down while as strong as it
was upon the day that the boom was
hoisted upon it's place is wanted for
something bigger. The life of a
steel-frame building depends almost
entirely upon the winds and the
waves of commercial Montreal
Star.
