Letter from NeWberry.

NeWbe<ry, June 1O, 1917.
Mr.. Editor:
Congratulations to you and we'll
wishes for the happiness Of yourself
and your fair bride.
Baltimore is much nearer the North
Pole, no doubt, the reason why the
people do not need the Jim Grow law.
We ask some of the good citizens in
each section of the county send the
news to the Dispatch, and let US make
it the banner county paper in the
State.
Brillianteen coats, we suffice to say'
ere not very much in demand these
cool eastern breeze mornings.
What has become of the lead horse
who wore the rawhide traces that
placed him 50 far in advance Of his
two opponents to the State Senate
chamber years ago? Was he showed
under too deep to rise again?
The lines are being pretty tightly
drawn in Newberry with the Blease
and Jones forces. The Jones men,
who are already holding Office, are
meeting opposition from Blease men,
so it looks as if both sides are pretty
we'll organized in this county.
The General Sessions court convenes
here this morning with four murder
cases to be tried. What disposition
will be made as to holding of the court
at this busy season of the year is not
known at this hour.
Well wishes to the readers of The
Dispatch. B. B. II.

Steal a March On The Fly.

Steal march on the fly! That is
the advice which is being given by
nearly every well-regulated health de-
partment throughout the country. The
march can be stolen by setting out
now. Flies have not yet become nu-
merous. But a little more warm
weather will bring them out. House
wives are advised to sprinkle a solu-
ton of one part of formaldehyde to
ten parts of water in their garbage
containers during the warm months,
not only to kill odors, but flies and in
sects as we'll. The Chicago Board OF
Health bulletin goes on to recommend
fly poison. 1t is as follows: One pint
of milk, one pint of water, one table.
spoonful of formaldehyde. The mix
ture should be poured over a slice of
bread in plate and placed where flies
are wont to congregate. 1t is pointed
out, however, that this torn OF fly

children or animals who would be like
ly to sample it.
As a warning to those who do not
fully realize what is possible for two
flies happily mated to accomplish in a
season, it is stated that commencing
housekeeping on May l, they will be-
fore the first of the following October
have 1911, 900. 200, 900, 1000, 100000 de-
scendants. These figures may not be
scientifically correct, but they were
worked out by a mathematically in
clined man according to the rule of
geometric progression, and are Ger
tainly enough to frignten any well Or
ganized person into taking the neres-
sarv precaution to reduce the fly crop
during the coming season. Begin
now.

Billy Felix's Letter.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch.
Since our last letter the rains have
fallen in torrents, almost to the 11ood
stage, and now the winds are blowing
adismal moan that's put chilly 1eei-
ing over the animal kingdom and a
drooping aspect on the vegetable king
dom.
While an uprising in Cuba, rebel
lion in Mexico, political TRADE be-
tween Taft and Roo. evelt. for the next
week or ten days one of the mightlest
struggles ever carried on by the forces
of the farmer and the advance guard

victory of either will depend upon the
weather man.
Carrier E. E. Martin, route 3, has
beenfindisposed for several days, but
at tits time is out again.
Mrs. E. L. Sphaler of Pine Castle,
Fla is visiting friends and relatives

Postmaster J. F. Fallaw went out to
serve route No. 3 and encountered
son1e thrilling experiences. After
serving about half the route he decld-
ed there was no place like home, and
beating hasty retreat reached his
destination about 7 O'Clock at night
after being away about ten hours.
Our friend, Col. w. E. Sharpe, who

Che trustees of the Athens Graded

the work.
Governor Blease vetoed some items
in the appropriation bill and then en-
ployed Brother Green and others to
SOY oat violators Of the law, who are
paid from ten to twenty dollars per
day. Oh, consistency, thou art jew
ell. W have sheriffs, constables, etc.,
as well as police, who are paid to see
after this; then, too, our friend Cole
says he would lead crowd to lynch a
negro for the nameless crime, then ap-
point man at salary Of $50 per day
to catch these same would-be lynch

Green made for the Governor while

Presentment OF The
Grand Jury, June Term

The Grand Jury for the county Tor
the present term make this their pre-
sentiment as follows:
We have considered all bills of IN
dictment given US by the Court ana
returned the same with our reports en-
dorsed thereon.
z Complaints reach Us that at many
points in the county the public roads
are interfered with by individuals
nlowing up the same, and placing
wood and other distractions in the
side bitches alon., said roads. we
recommend that this pra"Ice shall
cease, as it is, in our judy Lent, use
less to have the chaingang and other
agencies of the county to repair our
roads only to have such repairs maze
worthless by sach pracoices on the part
of land owners aad tt eir tenants.
There are sone sec ions of the roads
and some bridges in the county tnat
need to be repair d and we recon-
mend these to tie attention OF the
county supervisor and the o7erseers
and inspectors of the roads, and rec
ommend that these matters shall have
inmedi ate attention. Under the law
road inspectors are required to make
their reports to the county supervisor
and also to this grand jury. Only a
very few inspectors have complied
with this provision of the law, and
fled reports with US.
v'e are informed that the landings
at Lorick's and Hopes ferries, both OF
VIII Oh are free ferries, are not IN a
safe condition, and should be given
attention by the officials charged With
attending to these ferries.
A committee of our body which was
heretofore appointed to visit the chain
gang report that they have inspected
HE camp and management and opera
tions of this institution, and find the
same in good condition and doing ef1-
Gent work on our public roads.
The committee to visit the poor house
report that institution well kept and
the inmates properly supplied. The
farm connected Herewith is prosper
ing and promises fruitful harvest.
We are informed that merchants and
shop-keepers in various sections of the
county often violate the law by selling
goods and wares for other than neces-
sary purposes on the Sabbath.
We direct attention of the matters
TO the executive officers of the law,
and recommend that parties indulglng
in such practices be prosecuted for
such violations.
It is again called to our attention
that the law prev enting the sale OF IN
toxicant liquors in this county is being
violated. and we recommend that
greater vigilance be exercised oy 'ne
executive officers Of our county to the
end that such violations OF the law
may te suppressed.
It is reported to Us that during Feo'
ruary last one J. B. Jeter sold whiskey
in the town of Swansea, and that sol
David. G. F. Rast, 9. z. Lybrand, D..
T. Hildebrand, 6. G. Rucker and J..
M. Redmond are witnesses to prove
the same.
We thank the Court and ofhcers
thereof for coartesies shown US at this
term.
Respectfully submitted,
J. S. Wessinger,

Prevent Ropy Milk.

Professor w. r. Wright. of the
Idaho experiment station, makes the
following suggestions on handling
milk and can
"The three C's clean, covered and
cold, should be the dairyman's motto;
clean cans, stables, mixers and uten-
sils; covered pals and cans, and cold
milk, not that which is allowed to
cool in large cans in the air, but
which has the temperature reduced
by a milk cooler or by setting the cans
into a tank Of cold or ice water, and
then further assisted in the cooling
process by an occasional stirring.
Ropiness in milk and cream Is due to
been found in stagnant brook or pond
waters, In stable manure, and on dust
particles in stable air. Cows that have
been in ponds or brooks containing
these bacteria are likely to have great
numbers of them on the hairs and
scales Of dead skin on their tanks,
conveyed there by the Tapping tail.
Manurial contamination or exposure
to dust may cause the same trouble.
Cans, pals or milk strainers that are
not thoroughly washed and scalded
may carry over the Infection from n
milking to the next. AS a rule, the
bacteria which causes ropy or Shiny
milk or cream grow quite rapidly at a
low temperatures temperature too
low for the sour milk bacteria to
make much progress, so the fall
months are more favorable for the
d Development of ropy milk. If an
abundance of boiling water is used In
washing the milk cans, pals and
strainers, and the COWS are kept out
of filthy ponds and brooks, and a
covered pail is used in milking, ropi-
ness will not be the cause of trouble
or losses in the dairy"

~
The experiment stations of the
corn belt states have proved conclu.
sively, and there statements are
borne out In hundreds Of instances by
practical feeders, that silage Is, by
all odds, the cheapest and most eff
cient bulky ration that can be used
In fattening beef cattle. OF four lots
OF steers fed at the Missouri station
last year the highest profit that was
secured was 1874 per head. The lot
making this ate 10 pounds per
head daily of shelled corn, Is
pounds silage, 81 pounds clover hay
and three pounds cold pressed cotton
seed cake. The least profit from any
lot was S6. "a per head. This lot was
fed on 10 pounds per head daily of
shelled corn, 10 pounds silage, five
pounds clover hay and three pounds
linseed oil meal. The difference in
profit was charReable principally to
the d~ifferencein price between cotton
SEED meal and linsecd oil meal. All
experiments in fattentng cattle
strongly Indicate that . heterogeneous
concentrate such as c~cttonseed meal,
or llnseed meal, is . positive necessity
for best results and fastest gains.

Is Greatest of Fitch Plays.

The late Clyde Fitch was the
author Of more than fifty plays, at
least two-thirds of which have en-
joyed wide popularity among Ameri-
can theatre patrons. Many Of them,
notably s'The Climbers" and
"The Girl with the Green
Eyes, we're distinctly society
dramas. It was once said he could
not write a mans play. "The City,
was his answer It seemed a bit of
irony that the biggest thing he ever
wrote should have been the one he
was never to see acted for Fitch's
death occurred before the night of
production. "The City" proved a
thunderous success. 1t ran for an
entire season at the Lyric Theatre In
New York and later duplicated its
triumphs at the Grand Opera House
in Chicago.
The play has never been presented
in this city and 1t Is a matter for
satisfaction that the United Play
Company has elected to send 1t here.
Hugo B. Koch, an actor who has
achieved a fine following through his
artistic work in "The Servant In the
House, " 1.-The Port OF Missing Men,"
"The House Of a Thousand Candles''
and other recent successes, will be
seen in the leading role. Mr.. Koch
personally selected his company and
has an organization Of the highest
merit. The production is complete
and the most beautiful, 1t is promised,
sent out with a United Play
Company attraction.
The date Of the local engagement is
for Monday, October 7th at the Lyric
theatre.
