London. July S-Advance reports
have been received here from the
commission on sleeping sickness work
ing Rhodesia, some of these members
are on the way to England and are ex-
pected to arrive within a few days.
The commission has proved beyond
a doubt that the tsetse fly, known as
Glossina morsitans, is a carrier of the
disease. The commission was de-
spatched to Africa in consequence OF
the appearance of the disease in re-
gions where Glossina palpalis (the
species of tsetse fly which up to that
time had alone been regarder as a
carrier of sleeping sickness) was non.
existent. The guilt of Glossina NOR
sitans has been proved not only under
laboratory conditions bu also in ma
ture. Certain animals can act as the
host of the virus without suffering
thereby. While palpalis is to be found
only in narrow limits, morsitans Is
met with throughout Africa in wide
areas, and the method Of migration ant
Isolation hitherto employed will bt

mittee favored liberal bond issue,
either from the County as whole or

On Saturday last, the Board Of Sup
ervisors, had under consideration, the
matter of locating the road to Brook
lyn, to be used as the principal route
to the Forrest County Agricultural
High School from Hattiesburg. The
route known as the river route was
selected.
Before a vote was taken several
speakers discussed with the Board the
question of which route was best suit
ed to serve the greatest number of
Forrest County citizens. Capt ]. P.
Carter, strongly favored what is known
as the River route, which starts at
the lower river bridge and follows
close to Leaf river through McCallum,
McLaurin, Epps and Rosine to Brook
lyn. Capt Carter said that he is favor
able to road improvement, and urged
the Board to favorably consider, any
petitions asking for elections to vote
bonds for road building that may
come before it. He states that
as large tax payer, he would vote
for a liberal bond issue. He express
ed great confidence in the judgement
of the Board, feeling sure 1t is their
purpose to make a selection, out oi
the worthy desire to do the greatest
good to the great number; that while
he has as much or more property or
the Ridge route, than he has on the
other, he felt sure much larger mum
ber of Forrest County people will be
served by the River road, than by the
Ridge route. He said that it is his
observation that there is a strong
disposition to follow other lines o
travel in modern public road building
for reasons apparent-economy in get
