KILL TIE FLIES

The United States Department of Agriculture gives this warn ing.
 We have shown that the ty- phoid or house-fly is a general and common carrier of patho- genis bacteria. It may carry ty- phoid fever. Asiatic cholera, dysentery, cholera morbis and other intestinal diseases, it may carry the bacilli of tuberculosis and certain eye diseases. It is everywhere present pfesent and it is disposed of with comparative ease. 1t is the duty of every in- dividual to guard so far as pos sible against the occurrence of flies on his premises. It is the duty of fevery community through it's board of health to spend money in the warfare against this enemy of mankind This is pronounced as though the were attacked by a band of ravenous wolves.

 The last time you heard from me was through the columns of t he Picayune on the subject of Cow Peas, this time on the Bull Kettle.

kO0NTINU EO.J

Bno was missed ,ne next morning,
and an account Of her cratic flight
reached the papers and was published
far and wide. But the name OF Miss
Caroline Campbell conveyed nothing
TO the public.
4 At the house of Or. Carpenter she
met Mr.. Moffat. What she told him
heartened him greatly for the struggle
he saw before him. Indeed. 1t altered
the whole tone Of the defense. Per
ceiving from her story and from what
the doctor could tell him of their meet
ing at the station that her return to
town was as yet secret to every one
secret should continue to be kept.
Carmel wished her brother informed
Of her return, but the willy lawyer per-
suaded her to excuse him from taking
Arthur into his confidence until the
Last moment. He knew that he would
receive only opposition from his young
and stubborn client. One Of the stipu-
lations which he had made in securing
Mr.. Moffat for his counsel was that
Carmel's name was to be kept as much
% possible out of the proceedings, and
to this Mr. Moffat had subscribed, not
outstanding his conviction that the
crime laid to the defendants charge
was a result of Ranelagh's passion for
Carmel and consequently distinctly the
work of Ranelagh's own hand.
He had thought that he could win
his case by the powers of oratory and
n somewhat free use of innuendo, but
his view changed under the fresh en-
ughtenment which he received in his
conversation with Carmel. He saw
unfolding before him defense of IN
paralleled interest. True, 1t involved
this interesting witness in way that
would be unpleasant to the brother.
but he was not the man to sacrifice
client to any sentimental scruple-
certainly not this client. whose worth
he was just beginning to realize.
Carmel was not strong enough for
much talk. DR.. Carpenter would not
allow it, and the continued clearness
of her mind was too invaluable to his
case for this farseeing advocate to
take any risk. She had told him
enough to assure him that circum-
stances and not guilt had put Arthur
where he was and had added to the
assurance details Of an unexpected
nature = so unexpected, indeed, that
the lawyer was led away by the
prospect they offered of confounding
the prosecution by line of defense
to which no clew had been given by
anything that had appeared.
He planned then and there drama
tic climax which should take the
breath away from his opponent and
change the whole feeling of the court
toward the prisoner. Strangely enough.
the subject Of Adelaide's death was
discussed in her hearing without any
mention being made of strangulation
as its immediate cause. Would her ac-
lion have been different had she known
that this was conceded fact?
