The board of health had a very
successful clean up day, but that does
not mean that the matter of garbage,
flies and mosquitoes has been disposed
Of Every citizen should remember
that eternal vigilance Is the price Of

of course, the people of Yorkville
are going to take a proper interest in
the matter Of entertaining the Confed-

people generally are going to give the
U. D. C.'s all the assistance in their
power in the way Of providing what

-Yorkville is to have eleven weeks
of baseball this summer, unless some
of the other towns that have been
considered in the proposed league
flicker The idea Is to organize
league composed of Rock Hill, Ches-
ter, Shelby Gaffney, Yorkville and
Gastonia. All these towns are virtual
ly in except Gastonia, which is hang
ing back little; but which will prob
ably get in line with the others. At a
public meeting held in the court house
last night most Of the baseball enthu-
siasts were present, and committee
consisting of E. w. Long. r. ]. Mack
orell and ]. w. Kirkpatrick was ap-
pointed to look after the matter Of
getting together the sinews Of war.
The committee went to work energet-
ically this morning and has been meet
ing with hearty cooperation. The
general feeling Is that Yorkvilie must
have a team that will win and that Is
the united purpose Of the local cranks.

don the race because of fearful wind
and rain storm into which he ran.
The flight over the mountains involved
an altitude of $500 feet and both We
drine and Garros report exciting en-
counters with eagles, which attacked
their machines on the way. Garros
drove his eagle off with a pistol and
Vedrine avoided the bird by rising and
falling. On his arrival at the aviation
field, near Madrid, Vedrine was receiv-
ed by many thousands of people with
great enthusiasm. The king of Spain
gave him a hearty personal welcome
and pinned on the lapel Of his coat
the Order of Alfonso XII. Women
kissed the man enthusiastically and
the people made very much Of him
generally; but so exhausted was he
that he asked to be sent to hospital
until he could rest up a little. For
his successful trip he received q
prize of $4,000 offered by Partisan
newspaper and $4,000 additional Of
fered by the Spanish Aviation club.
Besides his adventure with the eagle,
Vedrine had a narrow escape as the
result of one Of the wings Of his ma
chine striking against a crag in the
heights of the Pyrenees.

YARN SITUATION BRIGHTER.
Spnners Need Not Expect Cheaper
Raw Material, However.

There is no longer any question
about an increased firmness in spin
ners' prices. This applies particu-
larly to southern spinners. Neither Is
there doubt in the mind of any impair
tial judge that the spinners deserve to
get the prices they are asking. Sell
dom has there been a time, when the
opinions expressed by spinners through
mail, telegraph, or word Of mouth,
have agreed more fully.
OF course, dealers always expect to
receive a certain percentage of let
ters from spinners telling how high
cotton is. how hard it is to get, how
hard it is for them to make money,
etc. Furthermore, there have doubt
less been times when these letters
were no more than an integral part
of the selling game, but such is far
inc received are not sent by way Of
apology, or with intent to boost prices
unnecessarily, but they are statements
of hard, cold facts. The very number
of them and their remarkable points
of similarity in cases where no COL
lusion could have been possible, are
sufficient to show this.
Leaving aside for the moment all
questions as to the right selling price
Tor cotton, the TACT remains tHat II Is
very high. Spinners everywhere write
that they must pay 151 to 153 cents
for their cotton and that the staple is
hard to get in any quantity. Under
such circumstances some of the
market prices with which the spin
ners are expected to compete are
cruelty low. Unless most of the spin
ners wish to operate their mills by
cutting into their surplus, if they have
any, or by piling loan upon loan, If they
have not, these prices are impossible.
1t is obvious that without the un-
merciful element of speculation In the
cotton market, prices could hardly go
as high as they have, but the prices
are here, and it appears. to stay, for
some time. AS long as they last. the
spinners are justified in getting all
they are now asking. Recent years
have been lean ones with them and
there are very few who can now be
supported by the profit of more pros
porous times. Nearly everyone thinks
that the spinner ought to get his price,
even some of the buyers. And If the
spinner sticks to his present policy, he
will get it-American Wool and Cot

before went to Texas" said the doc
tor" and was certain that knew the
places that were most dangerous; but
l was mistaken.
STABLES and outhouses are general
ly understood to be the places that in
cubate the most flies. Lots Of people
think they are the only places. 1 used
to think that they were the worst
places, and II these places were prop
erly attended to there would be little
else to do in the matter Of fly exter-
mination.
But it is all a mistake. More flies
find their origin under the spots where
dish water is thrown out than in all
the stables and outhouses in the coun-
try. Dish water contributes more to
the propagation of flies than does any
other one agency.
mo, 1 did not believe this until II
was proved to me. The surgeon Of the
regiment to which had been assign
ed, happened to be the same one un-
der whom I had had pleasant and
profitable instruction once before. He
knew that I was interested in the fly
subject, and being a specialist in this
line himself, he took much pains to
give me all the valuable information
he could.
Shortly after my arrival the sur
geon stated the dish water proposi-
ton. 1 expressed surprise, not to say
doubt. There were no flies Of any
consequence anywhere in the big
camp. They have a system whereby
all dish water is thrown into pit, the
fluid evaporated by heat and the SOL
ids burned. Since the adoption Of this

After stating his proposition the
regimental surgeon took me to place
outside Of the military reservation
where there were long rows Of shacks
of various kinds, the owners Of which
were making a living catering to the
different appetites Of the soldiers. CO.
ing straight to the place where dish
water was emptied, the surgeon dug
down with a hoe and exposed to view
the larvae Of the fly by the million.
He asserted that he had been investi-
eating the matter for years and had
found the same conditions in every in
stance.

that at any time you can see flies
swarming about the spot where dish
water Is being thrown. You natu-

ever, will always show that a large
per cent of them are just Matched. and

Dr. Walker said that another state
ment that the surgeon had made
which interested him very much, but
as to the correctness Of which he was
at first doubtful, was that under the
places where dish water was emptied
fly larvae were frequently found to a
depth Of at least eight inches

SOURCE OF FLIES.

DR.. Miles Walker of Yorkville, con-
siders that the most valuable lesson
he learned during his recent assign
ment to the army manoeuvres at San
Antonio. Texas, concerns the breeding
Of flies.
The fly is now being recognized the
world over as the most dangerous dis
tributor of Infection and contamina-
ton known and Is being held respon-
sble for more disease and death than
any other one agency. SO strong has
become the general conviction as to
the responsibility of the fly for so
many of the ills to which the flesh is
heir, that sanitarians everywhere are
devoting every possible effort looking
to the extinction of these insects

AS yet we have not grown very
hopeful of the chances of Democratic
success next year. There are those, of
course, who will hold that no matter
what we think we should not talk
that way; but we do not belong to the
class that believes in bluster. 1t is
easily possible that the Democratic
chances may improve considerably
and it is probable that they will. But
one of the most hopeful features of
the situation is the fine presidential
material now available This includes
Judson Harmon. Champ Clark, Wood
row Wilson and w. ]. Bryan. OF the
four we are inclined to think that
Woodrow Wilson is the best, and that
JudsOn Harmon has the best chance

Gold STORAGE.

A notable tendency Of human ma
ture is to grumble at improvement
to quarrel with those who discover
opportunities and take advantage Of
them.
Why this is, we don't know, unless
it comes from that natural Incidence
that does not like to exert itself.
For instance, the inhabitants of
Southern Asia, most Of Africa and the
islands of the southern seas, wear lit
tie clothes. Many of them are con-
tent to go absolutely naked.
To induce these people to wear
clothes is a very difficult matter. In
the first place, never having learned
any better, they see no need of cloth
es, and they are not much inclined to
make exertion for that which does not
impress them as necessary.
On the other hand, it is clear that
the more people who are taught the
use of clothes, and who are induced to
want them, the stronger is the demand
for cotton, wool, silks and other fab
RIGS Of which clothes are made. That
makes more work and more profit for
the producers Of these fabrics.
Who will deny that the savage
whose wants are increased even to the
extent of clothes. is started on the road
to greater usefulness to himself and
to humanity? Denial Of this propo-
sition would mean denial of the prop
osition that producers of the fabrics
of which clothes are made would be
benefited and uplifted by getting
larger business at better profits.
Previous to the establishment of
cold storage plants in the north and
west the producers Of beef, chickens,
eggs and scores of other hitherto
quickly perishable necessaries Of life,
were hampered for lack Of stable
markets, and they put forth very lit
tie effort to raise more than they
could consume themselves. Even then
the markets were often glutted by the
modest supplies that happened from
time TO time and low prices discour-
aged further production. Now the
market for such things is sufficiently
steady to guarantee the production Of
these commodities as a dependable
business.
We Of the south have heard lots Of
echoes of complaints against the great
cold storage plants of the north put
ting up the prices of butter, eggs,
fish, meats, etc, to what seemed to us
as fabulous figures, while such of
these articles as we produce were
among the cheapest things to be had
amongst us.
Where the consumer of the north
was complaining against trusts, mo-
nopolies, etc, the producer of this
section was discouraged to the point
of desperation and feeling that he
should no more try TO make anything
above the requirements of his own
sumner comes to complete famine in
the articles mentioned, the northern
consumer. though still grumbling
about prices scarcely higher than be-
fore, continues to enjoy all the luxury
of an abundant supply. and forgets
the old time rule that such things
were confined each to ita season.
The fact is cold storage conserves
the supply Of commodities, saves
waste. equalizes prices and distributes
consumption over the whole year.
The people of the south have long
since commenced going to the north
after cold storage products, and they
are selling some of their own surplus
for cold storage purposes.

The rumor that Senator Lorimer
will resign his seat, is persistently
coming out of Washington. AS to
whether or not there is any founda-
ton for the rumor remains to be seen;
but 1t is a fact that If there was rot
tenness in the Lorimer election, there
are others responsible besides Lorimer
and it is a question as to whether they
should be allowed to escape because
of Lorimer's resignation. 1t would
hardly be creditable to the senate to
allow Lorimer to resign.
