The glittering morning sunlight Of
late March flooded the eastern dining
room of Roanoke house. A fire blaz-
ed on the hearth; hot dishes steamed
on the table; the girls face. the crack
ling fire, the polished silver reflected
from polished mahogany; the soft
shod, solicitous service Of white
aproned negro; all this made the
room fragrant with LONELINESS in

ones breath in the air. But they

Colonel Henry Hampton faced por-
trait of the first Hampton of Roanoke,
stately with brass buttons and silver
lace, set in the panels seventy-five
years before. Lucy had concluded
her broiled chicken and bacon and hot
bread, and now as he, late for break
fast always, followed in her wake,
he read the Norfolk and Portsmouth
Herald with which colored boy had
that morning ridden out from Norfolk,
eight miles away. 1t was before the
time of daily papers, except in large
city or two, and this of once a week
was an event; boy was sent to Nor
folk the day before its publication
that the colonel might have it at the
earliest moment.
How would you like to see q live

day. Poor young man," he went on
condescendlngly, "he has no money,

in strange country with his fortune
to make, and no assets but a title.
It's little that will help him in the
states!"
Colonel Hampton glanced over to
see if she were listening to his words
of wisdom; he liked an attentive au-
dience. He was enchanted with her
expression. She had dropped knife
and fork and, with her blue eyes

Again SWattlng Time.

Boards of health and civic organi-
cations throughout the country have
begun their annual spring swat the
fly" campaigns. 1t is an important
matter that cannot be too strongly
impressed on the public.
1t is a known fact that houseflies
are filthy and dangerous to human
life. Born in filth, they feed upon
filth and carry filth with them, not
only causing annoyance but leaving
a trail OF disease and death wherever
they go.
Flies are known to be carriers of
TYPHOID fever, consumption, diarrhoea,
dysentery and other contagious dis
eases. They alight on your food, in
your drink, on the lips of your sleep
ing child or perhaps on some open
wound.
Sickness and death are traced di-
rectly to the agency Of the fly. 1t
lies within your power to guard your
family and yourself from this known
carrier of infection.
Screens in the windows, kerosene
in the drains, the destruction of all
refuse, with extra precaution to keep
flies away from the sick, will help
to eliminate the fly pest that is al
ways with us during the warm sea-
son.
The fly cannot develop from the
egg, which must have undisturbed
filth to grow in, for period less than
eight days. Therefore if all the filth
is cleaned up and destroyed the eggs
will not have time to develop and
there will be no flies to swat"

A Discriminatory Ordinance

Recently the board of aldermen OF
Atlanta passed an ordinance torDIu-
ding the shipment OF dressed ho9S 10
Atlanta. This Immediately brought
ont = protest from various CONNER
cial bodies over the state ana the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce TOOK
nm the matter in an effort to nave
the ordinance rescinded. 1t was
such palpable discrimination
against the hog growers OF Georgia
in favor of the packers that there
was almost united protest from
the farmers in the Southern part OF
the state.
President Moody of the Randolph
County Chamber of Commerce touch
ed the very core Of things in a letter
to the State Chamber when he said:
..There are men in this county who
have a few hogs and COWS that they
could butcher and express the meat
to Atlanta, but they cannot get up
a carload of live stock. The manu-
facturers and merchants Of Atlanta
hid for the business of Georgia farm
ers and | think it unfair for Atlanta
to legislate against any product that
the farmers of Georgia may have to
sell.
President Haden of the State
Chamber said that he did not believe
that Mayor Woodward of Atlanta
would need any suggestion from the
State Chamber in an effort to make
him see the harm that such city
law would DO to the farmers OF the
state. Mayor Woodward in discuss
ing the matter said: They are al
ways crying for more people to take
I'D the raising of stock, and yet they
will pass an ordinance which practl-
cally prevents them from disposing
of it after they have raised it. The
MAYOR addressed a communication to
council calling its attention to the
complaint and urging immediate
action.
The indications are that an an
nulIment of the ordinance will fol-
low. or that it will be so amended
that it will not prevent the farmer
who cannot send a car load of dressed
hogs from making less shipments.

Murder By Disease Germs

Some time ago the daily press was
considerably aroused over an attempt
at bIackmail through mailing Vlru"
lent germs to various wealthy per-
sons together with pleas for aid ana
the offer of an antidote or positive
cure. Recently in Germany man
named Hopf was arrested on sus-
picion of having killed his wife by
inoculation with disease germs and
the internal administration or ar

was Brought out to the effect that ne
had probably on former occasions
murdered other members OF his fam
ily in the same way. Before the
criminal court in Frankfort he was
charged with the murder OF his faith

dren and his first and second wives,
and with the attempted murder OF
his third wife. All the persons Kill
ed had been heavily insured. ArseElc
was found in the bodies OF the chill
dren and the first wife, but the sec

MED having inoculated his wives,
and there was no pOst-mOrtem eYi-
dence that h had done so; but he
stated that he had used such bacteria
for experiments on dogs n connec-
ton with certain private studies, al
though he was not a bacteriol0glSt
or medical man. The bacterial
cultures were purchased in Vienna,
because no German laboratory was
willing to supply the cultures which
he ordered, using the name OF an
alleged scientific institution. The
Jury found him guilty of murder in
all the cases except those of his pa
rents. Medical experts declared that
the man was not insane. In Ger
many, says The Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical Association, there is a
law forbidding the sale or giving OF
pathogenic micro-organisms to un-
authorized persons, and it is reported
that the Austrian authorities are
about to adopt similar regulations.

Useful SaWduSt,

In this prodigal land sawdust was
for a long time regarded as waste.
1t was allowed to pile up in unsightly
mounds, or float down the rivers. At
best it found field of usefulness in
ice houses and stables. A late issue
of the Youths Companion tells OF
the recent success of a Baltimore
chemist in perfecting a process by
which Illuminating gas can be made
cheaply from sawdust. This is, how
ever, but one reason why science is
beginning to hold sawdust in more
respect. In Austria they mix tar
with it and make fuel briquettes of
it. One Austrian factory produces
seven million briQuettes a year. In
Germany they mix rye -four with 1t
and out of the combination bake
kind of. bread that human beings as
well as horses eat. One German
bakery turns out twenty thousand
