New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, July 3.-Coton futures
opened quiet and steady at a decline of
to 10 points on poor cables Light
showers in the west on the weather map
and private reports of showers over Sun
day in both Texas and Oklahoma gave
the market rather a soft tone but the
bears were not aggressive or inclined to
press their advantage. The general ex-
pectation was for bearish condition
figures from the government, but there
was little selling on this expectation. At
the end of the first half hour of business,
the list was Z to 9 points below Satur-
days close.
Around the middle of the morning, SELL
ing orders increased and the more active
months were put to II points under
Saturdays close. AS the time of the
bureau drew near scalping shorts took
profits and this steadied the market and
brought about a reaction At IL o'clock
the most active months were 2 points
under Saturday. On the condition figures
of sS.2 which were lower by about a
point than expected, there was a quick
rise of IL points on both October and
December On the advance, offerings be-
came very heavy and 1t was rumored
around the ring that bulls were large
sellers. Offerings were heavy enough to

Robinson Point, July 1.-The last
work on the tug j. B. Camors was done
at SOL o'clock yesterday afternoon, for
at that hour the new tug left the wharf
at Robinson Point and started for Pen
sacola for inspection. The run was ac
complished in just three hours and
two minutes, and that is pretty fair
time for a craft on her maiden trip.
At any rate, she passed inspection with
flying colors and the main credit Of
this is due to John Langley, who has
had charge of the work since the COM
pany bought the hull in Mobile. This
adds one more sea- going tug to Pen
sacola's efficient fleet, and Capt. Waul
and Chief Lindsey are sufficient guar
antee of safety for any and every ex-
cursion undertaken by this boat.
The new launch just completed by
F. r. Lindsey, after a year or more of
strenuous labor Is at last in commits
sion, and made her maiden trip to
Pensacola last Saturday night.
Bathing parties from Milton are all
the rage now, since the beach here is
ideal, ard Milton folk must come here
for a cleansing.
The launch fever has caught more
people than Chief Lindsey, for Mr..
Taylor, who has been working on the
tug, has started to build a boat for
himself and declares that he is going
10 HnlSn II before ne l0HN0S ftODlnSOH
Point and that his voyage of explora
ton and discovery will be revelation
to geographers.
Mrs. F. r. Lindsey, formerly resi-
dent of this place, but now a resident
of Pensacola. is visiting her husband
and her many friends here this week.
Sh1 is accompanied by her three chill
dren and sister, Miss Annie Mertins.
Miss Addie Evans, who has been
living with Mrs. D. F. Ragland, visited
her parents on the eastern shore for a
few days last week.
Mrs. Burgess has returned from her
visit to the state orphan asylum.
All sorts of preparations are being
made for the entertainment of visitors
on the glorious Fourth, and If they
don't come 1t will be their loss.
Among the prominent citizens of our
thriving little village who have re-
Gently visited the city may be men

FLY SWATTING
MPA|GN IS ON
BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE JOINING
FRANKS OF THE FLY sWATTERs
BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
IS SENDING OUT LITERATURE
TO FURTHER THE CAMPAIGN.

SWEATING the fly" movement is not
confined to the newspaper writer's, as
some people seem to think, but the
movement has been and is being en-
couraged by the business men, the pro-
fessionat men and the laboring men,
The Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph Company has joined in the
movement and in all of the letters
going out of it's Office a little leafiet
is enclosed which tells everyone to be-
ware of the dangerous househy and
gives rules for dealing with the null
sance.
The leafiet says:
Beware of the dangerous housefly.
The housefy, the dirty fly, the typhoid
fly, will soon swarm in thousands and
millions unless precautions are taken.
Tho housefy, whom we were taught in
our childhood to treat with kindness,
has been exposed. It's habits are filthy.
1t breeds in stables and garbage pals
and carries the filth 1t revels in and
tracks it across the sugar, the butter
and the beefsteak. It paddles it's hor-
rid feet, gummed with the vilest mat
ter, in the baby's milk. The doctors
have declared war on the housefiy. 1t
proabbly disseminates every disease.
1t is a nuisance 1t must be exter-
minated. 1t can be driven out Of every
city. In this age of knowledge, screens

cuse for flies in any household. Clean
up your premises and report to the
health department your neighbor who
does not. Get rid of breeding places
of flies and you will get rid of flies.
There is no family so poor it cannot
afford to screen its home. Screens will
turn away all flies as well as mos
quitoes. The unsreened house, in
other words, is a dangerous thing, and
screens on windows and outside doors
are an excellent investment from sew
eral points of views.
Rules for dealing with the fly nui-
sance:
Screen all windows and doors, espe-
cially the kitchen and dining room.
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those Ill with contagious
diseases. XIII every fy that strays
into the sick room. His body is COW
cred with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near your
premises.
All refuse which tends in any way to
fermentation, such as bedding, straw,
waste paper and vegetable matter,
should be disposed of or covered with
lime or kerosene oil.
Screen all food.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans cleaned
or sprinkle with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit, screened or sprinkled with lime, oil
or other cheap preparation.
Cover food after a meal; burn or
bury all table refuse.
sScreen all food exposed for sale.
sDon't forget, II you see flies, their
breeing place is IN nearby filth. II
may be behind the door, under the
table or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt or filth there will
be no flies.

borhood write at once to the health de-
partment

The government report on cotton failed
