Read Between the Lines.

The Newberry Herald and News
places the election of Mr.. Rembert to
the State convention to the credit of
Blease strength. 1t should have said
that the election of Mr.. Rembert was
the result of pure generosity on the
part of the Jones people. Has any
body heard Of Jones man being
elected where the Blease delegates
were in the majority ?-Laurens Ad-
vertiser.
We have no recollection of placing
Mr.. Rembert's election to "Blease
strength" The Herald and News, In
giving an account of the various coun-
ty conventions, said: "In Richland
George R. Rembert, the Blease floor
leader in the house. was sent to the
State convention. 1t is claimed that
Richland's other eleven delegates are
Jones supporters"
We have no desire to detract from
the pure generosity" OF anybody. II
strikes us the statement of The Herald
and News was simple statement oil
plain, unvarnished fact.-Newberry

100 FARMERS WANTED.

The Southern Land Development Co.
OF Laurens, S. c.. wants 100 farmers
to settle in and around the hustling
town of McBee, in Chesterfield coun-
ty, sc. The land is high, woll drain
ed. no swamps, and very productive
in cotton, oats, fruits, berries and
vegetables. Three railroads and re-
frigerator car service give McBee
farmers, fruit growers, and truckers.
top-notch prices for their produce in
the nearby cities and in the Eastern
markets on the main line of the Sea
board Air Line r. r.
Good land can now be bought at s15
to S25 per acre and on terms to suit
the buyer.
This is a splendid opportunity for
young men especially, and for every
farmer who wants to better his con-
dition.
The future of McBee is assured. II
has trebled its population in twelve
months. Is good clean town of 700
population. sixty miles north of Co.

and best neighbors. No liquor yon

er that it was doubtful whether Jones
had any delegates to his credit at all
or not and that Blease was certain
of one. When this is taken in connec-
ton with the failure of The Herald and
News TO state that Mr.. Rembert was
elected as a delegate out of apprecia-
tion of his past good services for Co
lumbia and not because of but in spite
of his present affiliations. it appears
to us that The Advertiser had good
grounds for declaring that The Herald
and News had placed Mr Remberts
election to the credit of "Blease
strength.

just gone over the road with his force
of hands and piled lot of loose dlrt
up into the road. making an otherwise
fairly good road almost impossible in
places. Will our road workers never
learn that il is waste Of money to
pile up loose dirt in the middle of the
road and that that kind of work always
leaves the road in worse condition
than before?"
THE above is from the Gaffney
Ledger. That Is the way the roads
are worked in this county, with the
exception that piles of dirt are left
not only In the middle OF the road,
but all over it, and it makes 1t very
hard indeed to travel them. We wish
that the Ledger would tell us just how
the roads should be worked and we
will hand It out in this part Of the
country with the hope that we might
get relief."-Greenwood Journal.
Now. gentlemen, The Advertiser
thinks that we ought to step light" in
the criticism of county supervisors.
To be a road builder one must be
somewhat of an engineer and to be a
successful one he should be a real en-
gineer. Newspaper men, as a rule, are
not engineers and when they set
themselvs up to criticise those who
are or ought to be, it seems to US that
they should be little careful. We do
not claim to be an engineer ourselves.
although We have had a little expert
ence along that line, but We do know
that to make a successful road II must
be built so that water will run off the
sides. How else the road is to be
rounded on top than by placing dirt in
the midle we do not know, but we
do know that il is one way in which
II can be done with the limited amount
OF money that the supervisors have
at their disposal. Both The Gaffney
Ledger and The Greenwood Journal
will admit that the dirt must neces-
sarily be gotten to the middle of the
road We are. therefore. going to
ask them to advise us. and others who
are interested in the county roads.
how else to get that dirt there or how
else the road is to be rounded. Now.
bear in mind, gentlemen. the limited
means at the disposal of the supervis-
ors.

A MENACE TO HEALTH.
oilers Weekly says that:


The first flies are the most i'm
portant ones TO kill. a fly examined
at the State Experiment Station AT
Storrs. Connecticut. was found to bave
6,6OO,0O0 germs on it, and it's a moor
excuse for a fly that can't support
a couple of million germs. A flv can
lay one hundred and twenty eggs in
tourteen hours and be bright and
cheeFful and ready TO go back to her
duties the next day. One f,y NAV
nave several million descendants in
a season; 9S per cent of the eggs are
laid in stables, and 2 per cent in garb-
age and other filth. The fly is sun
posed to kill between 10000 TO so 900
persons In the United States every
year. IL never comes out of cesspooI
without putting its hands behind its
ears Every time it falls into a pitcher
OF milk II leaves a trail of a thousand
germs. One dead fly in May is worth
a peck in September. Talk over the
subject with your family physician, if
he is awake; otherwise with a mem
Der OF the local board of health: then
do your part. a poison harmless to
human life is made by placing in shall
low dishes solution of TWO ounces of
water, little sugar, and one dram of
b4NIl innate Vi potash.
So ii Will be seen that the time to
begin the war of determination upon
this pesky creature is right now. So
that none may overlook the harmless
poison to be used in killing them. it
is repeated:
Place in shallow dishes a So
luton Of two ounces of water,
a little sugar and one dram OF
bichromate of potash.
These dishes should be placed at
various places around the home, but
especially in and near the stables. 1t
is said that one OF the first things
that fly does after reaching the fly
ing stage is to seek drink of water.
III the dishes then are placed anywhere
near them they will be sure to find
them. Do not let this matter be put
on, for 1t may save the life of some
member OF the family and surely It
VIII do away with very troublesome
insect.
A crusade carried on against the fly
should be Joined by every housekeeper.
II only one person in a nighborhood
takes up the fight It will not be great
ly successful. Let everybody take up
the night. On the farm, however. IL
is an easy matter for one man to keep
his place clear OF them. for he has no
