Rock Hill Beaten Tuesday.

The best game of the season
on the local lot was played
Tuesday afternoon between Fort
Mill and Rock Hill, resulting in a
2 to l victory for the locals.
Both teams were on their toes
during the entire game and the
hobbies were few. The batteries
were: Fort Mill, Bradford and
Ardrey; Rock Hill, Huey and
Brown.

THE AffECTIONATE HOUSE FLY
IS MORE THAN A NUISANCE
The Pest May be Abated by the Exer-
else of Cleanliness Lime is the
Best Deodorant.

Seldom is a second thought
given to the common house fly.
1t has always been considered a
nuisance, but recent studies
have shown it to be very much
more than a mere nuisance. 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,
says the Clemson college bulletin
this week.
Flies breed in filth and offal of
any kind, preferring above all
else the fresh droppings of
horses and mules. Large num-
bers will develop in human
excrement and in garbage bar
rels, at places where dish water
is thrown out and wherever de-
caying animal or vegetable
matter occurs.
The adult flies are constantly
passing back and forth from
such materials, 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. Es-
pecially does the farmer have
the chance of abating the pest
so far as his own premises are
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 unlimited, and a
couple of days in a resting stage,
the adult flies appear. 1t takes
them slightly more than a week
to become flies. If manure can
be disposed of, hauled to either
the field or a compact heap
some distance from the house
every five to seven days, no flies
will be able to develop. If it is
not possible 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 or repel flies the one which
has proved most satisfactory is
ordinary slaked lime. Lime is a
first class deodorant. A free
use of it around all stables.
privies and garbage cans will
cause those places to lose half
of their disagreeable features,
and they will cease to be at
fractions and breeding places for
that menace to health the COM
mon house fly.

INK WELL HAS ANNUAL BATH
Mr.. siaeksomeby Cleans Il Out Every
January and the Results Make
Him Smile.

"A friend Of mine writes me from
Sandusky. O.: I notice you've taken
to using blue ink" said Slacksomeby:
and that amuses me q little. because
I'm using now the same kind Of ink
that ! always did. an ink with .
strong blue tinge. only It looks dif.
ferent now to him for this reason:
Every year in January I clean out
my inkstand; I do this In January SO
that ! won't forget It: starting then
with the inkstand all nice and clean.
As the months go by more or less sed.
iment from the ink poured in collects
In the inkstand and more or less dust
settles In It. SO that It gets to be in
side quite muddy. and this mud, natur-
ally. discolors the fresh ink that
pour In from time to time and makes
1t gradually darker and darker. BY De-
cember I am writing with ink that Is
practically black: but It flows freely
all right. and the change has been so
gradual I haven't noticed it
When January comes around again
I give the old inkstand its annual
good. thorough cleaning. and then for
a time the ink from It writes blue
again. And that's what's happened
now to make my friend out there on
the shores of Lake Erie write to me:
I notice you've taken to using blue
ink It's really very simple. but It
makes me SMILE"

IDEA is TO DECEIVE SPIRIT
Reason for Queer Language Employed
by MaIayans When Gathering
Camphor.

In Johore, on the Malay peninsula,
there is employed one of the strangest
languages In the world, used for
most curious purpose. This tongue
is called Pantang Kapor, or "camphor
language and Is medium employed
by natives and others engaged in
gathering the product of the Malayan
at work.
1t is a superstition of these natives
that should they use the language of
the district, the Malay or aboriginal
Jakun, they would be unable to obtain
their camphor.
The Malay natives firmly believe
that each species of tree has spirit
or guardian angel that presides over
its affairs, this spirit being known by
the name of Bisan. This divinity's
resting place is near the trees. Then,
too, the spirit of the camphor tree is
held to be extremely jealous of the
precious gum, SO that 1t becomes nee
essary to propitiate her. inasmuch as
she would, should she learn tina
hunters were in quest of it, endeavor
to interpose obstacles to their mis-
sion. Accordingly the natives speak
in tongue that the tree spirit may
not understand. 1t was for this pur-
pose that the mysterious "camphor
language" was invented, and it con-
sists of an odd mixture of Jakun and
Malay words that have been curl.
