No Flies on the Mayor
Board Of Health Sees to IL.

That there shall be no flies on the
Mayor or his business place either. is
the concern of the State and Federal
Board Of Health Survey. who have had
placed on exhibition in front of the
stores Of r. r. Strange & Sons.
"Ay-hox This is a simply improved
trap guarart teed to catch millions of
flies that when once in II cannot es-
cape.
Take a walk down Main street and
look at the dy-catcher IL is worth
seeing. Every saloon in town, every
store, every restaurant should have
one of these.
The Annapolis Civic League shou Ia
emulate the Cambridge, Md. Civic
League and present every restaurant
and saloon in town with one Of these
fly traps. The city would then be
fiyless.

which was largely attended by a dele
cation of representative citizens from
Grantham township, as we'll as a large

Justice Of the Peace J. w, Thompson
this week.
The case in question grew out Of
an assault upon Mr.. d. G.. Kelly,
principal Of the Falling Creek high

prominent farmer of the above town
ship.
The trouble was caused by Mr.. KEEL

son of Mr.. Blackman, who in turn
proceeded to wallop the principal.
Mr.. Blackman was indicted by the
Board Of Education.
After hearing the evidence, Mr..
Blackman having entered a submis-
sion, Justice Thompson imposed upon
| him a fine of $50 and cost.
Mr.. Blackman was also indicted for

HISTORIC PETITION
HAS No POTENCY
Wonan's Petition Under
New Law Doesn't Effect
Senate Committee

Yes, sir, this is the very first Pc
tltion from women under the recent
act of the Legislature granting the fair
sex Of North Carolina the right Of
petition
SO spoke Captain j. J. Adkins OF
Southport.
The Captain was before the Sen
ate committee on counties. cities and
towns Saturday afternoon. He was
opposed to a bon issue for the town
to put in water. sewer and so on.
The committee made a favorable re
port on the bill, which wasn't what
the CAPTAIN wanted, bug that's what
they did.
Captain Adkins came to the meet
ing armed with several petitions. One
Of them was the first and original
petition from the women of North
Carolina acting under the neWly-given
rights.
Deserved Better Fate.
1t deserved a better fate thar it re-
ceived at the hands of the committee.
The members Of that committee must
have been a~nti-suffrage and they
ought to receive an extra supply of
woman suffrage literature.
Senator johnson Of Duplin is chair
man OF the aggregation. Among the
other present were Senators
Snow, McMichael and Cooper. This is
published as information only.
Captain Adkins say he saw it in
the News and Observer the other day
that the women of North Carolina
had the right to petition for the first
time since the store began to glitter
in the azure dome of Heaven, or
words to that effect and with sub
stantially that meaning.
Knew 1t Was So.
When I saw it in the Old Reliable"
said the Captain, Il knew it was so.
Believing l was strengthening my case
n hundred per cent / Immediately
circulated a petition amongst the wo-
men property owners of Southport
asking that this bill do not pass. Thir-
teen out Of fifteen Of these estimable
ladies signed the petition and it was

when I unfolded it before the eyes 81

: Evidently Captain Adkins thought i
1 would win his case. But, alas ani
alack, the days of old when knight!
were bold and chivalry was as com
NOR as booze is today in North Caro-
lima, these kind of days are past an
: the historic document didn't cause tn,
hardened committeeman to even ba

truth, too.

Southport were also present. The
S argued in favor Of the bill. And the
y won out. The committee made a ia
vOrable report on the bill and South

 Sounds of DesoIation.

You proceed little farther in Ar ras to a large circular place, once inn posing. Every house in it presents the same blighted aspect. There is no urban stir! but in the brief intervals of the deafening cannonade can be heard one sound-blinds and curtains fluttering against empty window frames, and perhaps the idle, faint banging of loose shutter. Not even a cat walks. We are alone-we and the small group of staff officers who are acting as our hosts. We feel like thieves-like desecrators, impiously prying
 Continually came the hollow sound of things falling and slipping within the smashed interiors behind the fa- cades. And then came the sound of a baby crying for this city is not, after all, uninhabited. We saw a woman coming out of her house and carefully locking the door behind her. Was she locking it against shells or against burglars Arnold Bennett in Satur- day Evening Post.

1 adjacent plain, with no continuous cur rent toward the sea except in seasons of high water, if such are ever known.
 And such beautiful plains They were well worth fighting for, gently undulating as they retreat from the former river courses, and most home like, cultivable places for peaceful abode. Little rounded oak trees are studded about the plain in solitary, in- dependent fashion-oak trees resem- bling apple trees in size and peri phery.
 Behold the ruins at lastl A long, low ridge, some four or five miles in length, ends abruptly like a promon- tory projecting into the sea, above which it rises about 30 feet. The ridge is the so-called Hill of Ilium,' the sea is the flood plain of the Simois and the Scamander, historically known as the plain of Troy, and the promon tory, with it's crown of ruins, is Troy itself. You walk around the ruinf and make the surprising discovers that if the walking were good you could easily do it in ten minutes. Astonishing! Is this all there was of Troy, and did this little stronghold withstand a nine years siege and still remain unconquered by force? I'm possible! The whole hill of Hum may have been fortified and to some ex- tent populated; otherwise how was the garrison provisioned? Unpoetic details like these never troubled Ho- mer, so why bother about them?
 Within sight, almost, of Tenedos, the island base of the attacking allied armies, and within sound and reach of the big guns, the old ruins are watching over the present fighting, a greeting from the days of the first great western siege to the greatest siege of modern times.
