The last decade has proved beyond
all question that the malarial and
yellow fevers are transmitted only by
two different kinds Of mosquitoes
malaria by the ano pheles, and yellow
fever by the stegoms ia. These few
els cannot be Caught" in any way
except through the bites of these
mosquitoes. Thus it has been found
economical to get rid Of the mosuui-
toes, SO as to get rid Of the fevers.
Before this was done in Panama
it was one Of the pest-holes Of the
world. These two fevers were in
the blood Of nearly every man, wo-
man and child OH the Isthmus, and
every one who went there was likely
TO get one or both Of en-. The
mosquitoes were found on every acre
of the soil and in nearly every cocoa
nut shell or tin can in the country
1T must be understood clearly that
a mosquito must bite a sick man be-
fore its bite can make healthy man
has caused a great deal Of confusion
about this subject. If there were
not a single case Of malaria or yell
low fever for the mosquitoes to get
at they might be there in millions
without ever causing one case. But,
rs matter Of fact, there is nearly
always some sick person TO inoculate
the mosquitoes wherever anophcles
or Stcgomyia are found If you ask
which came first, the fever or the
mosquito, the answer is in the words
of Surgeon-G General Which
came first, the hen or the egg?" But
one thing is certain: No mosquito,
no malaria or yellow fever.
OF course, if one could get rid Of
all infected persons, there would be
no use to get rid of the mosquitoes,
except to prevent the annoyance they
cause. But it has been found
cheaper to eXterminate the moSQui-
toes than to get rid OF all infected
persons; and this fight is why Uncle
Sam fights mosquitoes. 1t IS purely
a business proposition. The SANTA
ton Of the Canal has cost about )
per cent Of its total cost; and about
One-iOurth OF this expense has been
incurred in the fight against mos
Quitoes. Or, to put it otherwise,
the campaign against mosquitoes in
Panama has cost the United States
government about five million dol
lars, directly and indirectly. This
looks immense; but without it there

Girl Had Chewing Gum i'm Nose.
Greenviile News. }

Sallie Henderson, little three
year-old girl of HOnea Path, was
brought to the city yesterday by her
mother to have a growth removed
from her nose. The "hild's nose had
been affected since last August, and,
despite treatment given by physi-
clans in Honea Path, the member
failed to get any better. 1t seems
that the nostril was stopped up and
nothing could be done.
The physician to whom the child
was carried had but slight difficulty
in curing the nose in a few min
utes. With the proper instruments
he removed a big wad Of chewing
gum which had become lodged in the
nostrril and had stayed there since
last August.

DoYLE's CONCEPTION AT WORK,
Conan Doyle Didn't Think "Danger'
Idea Was Loaded.

A dispatch from London, of recent
date, says:
Neutral Observers" statement in
the London Times that, according to
well-informed Germans, the idea Of
the submarine blockade of England
was borrowed by their government
from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story,
Danger" published last spring, has
grieved the author.
The story set up the mythical
country of Norland, which reduced
England to starvation by just such a
system of submarine attacks as is
now proposed
Il need hardly say that it is very
painful to me to think that anything
| have written should be turned
against my own country" said Sir
Arthur. THE object of the story
was to warn the public of a possible
danger which ! saw Overhanging this
country and to show how to avoid
that danger.
81 pointed out in the story three
different methods by which the dan
ger might be avoided, but war has
come upon us so rapidly that ncne Of
these methods could be adopted In
the story l place the fact Of a sub
marine blockade some Years hence.
1t was a story of the future.
"MY reason was that after study
ing the subject | concluded that the
submarine at present was not capa-
bic Of the results which 7 depicted,
but it still is my opinion that if this
war had been delayed five years, and
if the submarine. during that time,
had gone on improving rs rapidly as
1t has done in the past, ENGLAND
would have been placed in a most
serious position exactly as outlined
in the story.
Il am quite sure, in present cir
"umstanceS, that although we may
possibly lose more ships, the German
blockade can have no serious effect
on the war;

the house crying and moaning, and,
making an investigation, found the
woman in dying condition. She
died short time later without maxi
ing a statement. Her brother was
notified and when her body was
being dressed it was found that she
was badly bruised on her head and
back.
The testimony of the attending
physician was that Mrs. Rocks came
to her death by blows on the head
and back. The little S-year-old son
of the deceased identified the parties
held as the men who came there Sun
day night, and told some unprintable
things that were threatened, but as
to what did happen the boy didn't
know.
Harper and Rollins attempted to
prove an alibi, but failed to do so to
the satisfaction Of the cOrOner's jury.
They both stoutiy maintain their in
nocence, and demanded another
medical examination.
Every one has a good memory for
what he is trying to forget.

Reed, a negro who was accused Of
