At the present rate of taxation in
this county it is incumbent on the
officials to practice true economy and
give, US the most they can for our
money. All the property owned by
the writer is situated in the town of
Bamberg, and it is only the simple
truth to say that it certainly costs a
lot OF money to own property here.
The special levy in Bamberg for the
support of the graded school is nine
mills, and this in itself is quite an
item. Those who have their money
invested in, farming lands should CON
slider themselves fortunate.

1t is interesting to note the price
of gasoline, even in towns not far

gasoline retails at fifteen cents the
gallon, in Orangeburg it is seventeen
cents, in Blackville eighteen cents,
and in Bamberg it is twenty cents.
1t is sold here by the tank wagons at
16 cents, while in Blackville it re-
tails at only one-half cent more the
gallon. These differences are right

CLEAN UP.

Unless something Is done In time
LordsbuTg Is going TO be infested
with the deadly fly this summer. On
an average, LoTdsbuTg isn't a bad
looking town by any means, but at
that there are some of the most filthy
holes within its boundaries that one
could find anywhere. They are breed
ing places for diseases beside being
unsightly. without incorporation all
that can be done Is to appeal TO the
civic pride in each citizen to do his
share I'm cleaning up the town. Prac-
tically every town Of Importance in
New Mexico and Arizona is inaugur-
ating a Spring cleanup campaign and
Lordsburg should get in the swim.
All of us want a bigger and better
city but many are using poor strategy
In tempting strangers TO make this
their permanent home A cleanup
movement should not be a one man
affair but should be encouraged and
helped along by every resident. Lords
burg has been very lucky in evading
disease but the outlook for this sum
mer is exceedingly poor. II one will
take occasion TO look about him he
can see sickness breeding in currals,
hog pens, cess pools and filthy back
yards. 1t IS a disgrace to the city
and much more the Offenders. The
Liberal IS nj for boosting Lordsburg
first last and all the time but at the
same time cannot overlook facts that
are evident every way we turn. Some
thing must be done or the town Will
suffer the results.
Lordsburg is prosperous and Is In
the heart OF a prosperous community.

Uncle Sam Is waging a relentless
war on the deadly housefy and in a
late bulletin prepared by the depart
ment of agriculture valuable informa-
ton is given on the best means of
combating this deadly pest. The
most effective way Of eXterminating
the fly, according TO the bulletin, is
to eradicate his breeding places. The
breeding season Of the fly begins
early in March and continues
throughout the spring and summer
months. All dirt should be removed
from the premises, stables cleaned
and decaying vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called the
undertaker's travelling salesman, and
In addition TO his regular line Of "ty-
phoid bugs" he carries a side line OF

OF advice on what 10 advocate In

practically every LoTdsburg citizen Is
