The Menace of the Fly.

The Savannah Press urges the fly
swatters to grid on their armor for
war. The people are told that with
all their tireless efforts last spring
and last summer they are face to face
again with more enemies than they
have conquered yet. Not in fifteen
years have there been so many flies
as there will be this summer, yet
never before has the swatting of flies
been 50 determined.
What does it meeE? Do the flies
multiply by death, or are they com
ing back as disembodied spirits to
haunt us for the foul murders we
have committed among them in the
selfish pursuit of human health?
Those who are grimly prophesying
that this next summer will see a
greater loss Of babies than ever base
their melancholy outlook upon the
fact that this beautiful spring-like
winter, through which we are emery
ing into early spring, has been appre-
ciated and enjoyed quite as much by
the fly kind as by the human species.
To-day is Clean Up Day in Dawson,
and the people generally have joined
in the movement with broom and
brush. A clean city means fewer flies
and healthy city, and il is import
ant that every nook and corner in
Dawson, in both the business and
residential sections, be cleaned and
kept clean.

HOW EDITORS GET RICH.

From an Exchange.
After a great deal of worry and
study we have at last figured out how
so many country editors get rich.
Here is the secret of their success:
There is a child born in the neigh
borhood. The attending physician
gets $40. The editor gives the loud
lunged youngster a great send-otf
and gets so. 1t is christened and the
minister gets s. and the editor gets
500. 1t grows and marries. The
editor publishes another long-wind-
ed fiowery article and tells a dozen
lies about the beautiful and accom-
plished bride" The minister gets
$50 and a piece of cake. The editor
gets 5000. and a request to carry the
groom's subscription another year
/ In the course of time she dies. The
doctor gets So to 500, the minister
gets from S. to $40. the editor pub
fishes notice of death and an Obitu
airy two columns long, lodge resolu
tions, a lot of poetry and a card o
thanks. and gets 10000. No wonde
so many country editors get rich,

A Good Decision.

If you point a gun at another
| person in Georgia and the gun goes
off b, accident you are guilty OF
manslaughter, according to a decis-
ion jus. handed down by the state
court Of appeals which holds that
the cooking and pointing of the
weapon is an act of criminal careless
ness, and that in the event the per-
son at whom it was pointed is killed
criminal prosecution is in order. The
decision was handed down in afIirma-
ton of the judgment of the Mont
gomery superior court in finding
Richard Baker guilty of involuntary
manslaughter and sentencing him to
three years on the changing. Ba-
ker cooked his gun and pointed it at
his victim, who grabbed at it and it
went off by accident, inficting
wound from which he later died.
The court of appeals is to be COM
mended for this decision. The fool
who points a gun at another person
should be required to take the con-
of whatever happens,

EIeCting Senators by People.

AS the probabilities that the bill for
the direct election of senators will
become a law increase there is an
increasing alarm among Southern
editors because of the BristOw
amendment with which the bill is
hampeTed.
AS the Savannah Press says, how
ever, it a little late to cry over spill
ed milk. Many of our Georgia con-
temporaries refrained from lifting
Their voice against this "obnoxion"
last spring because of certain politi-
cal complications, and it is a little
late to squeal now.

WILL PASS THROUGH FALLON
Indianapolis Autists Have Made
Changed Their Itinerary To
Include Fallon.

1t will be remembered that mem
tion was made in these columns some
weeks back of the intention of the
promoters of the Indianap Ills motor
tour to make Los Angeles their
western destination. subsequently,
San Francisco and Nevada interests
became busy with the result that the
intinerary he's been changed and the
the central route passing through
Fallon some time In July. the start
ing date from Indianapolis having
been fixed for Tuesday, July 1st. Ii
Is expected that San Francisco will
be reached on July 27th. The tour
will end at Los Angeles on August
25th and the cars will be shipped
back to the east.
The change of routes will mean
much to this section of Nevada. Il
will result in the uniform adoption
of the central route in preference to
all others and will point the way to
road improvements that will probab-
ly be undertaken conjunctively by
the counties benefiting from auto
traffic in this state.
The route has been chosen with in
finite care and nothing was done to-
ward selecting any certain route un-
til report on road conditions had
been received by the touring commit
tee. The work has been done ex-
ceedingly well, and the number of
miles, the route number end tho
name of the route book printed on
the sheet compiled for the guidance
of those who will make the trip.

Youths From Four School Dis

Interesting Event.

The field meet held at the ball

the best talent of the Smart, Fallon,

schools participated was 4 success
viewed from every angle. Never be-
fore in tahe history of the county did
youth vie with youth with such ath-
lotto endeavor, nor did so large a
crowd as turned out Saturday ever
before witness a local athletic field
meet. Particular praise is due the
teachers of the scholars competing.
and especially was the work of Miss
Lois Latin, of the Smart district,
and S. W. Conwell of Fallon and Gail
Martin of Old River, worthy of men
ton. Miss Latin is a teacher with
the fighting spirit and any district
may well feel proud of her.
The talent pat forward by the
Smert district suffieed to place the
school at the head or the list in ath-
letic events, the number of points
scored by the competing schools be-
ing as follows: Smart, LOG; Fallon,

The names of the individual win
ners were not at hand at the time of
going to press, but will be publish

point winners for Fallo school, while
Ray Weaver starred for the Smart
school and was largely instrumental
in bringing victory to hsi school.
