The split log drag has con-
tributed more toward the eco
nomic maintenance of public
highways than any implement of
modern usage. 1t does not re-
quire special acts of the Legis-
lature, bond issues, nor ex-
pensive educational campaigns
to make it available as usually
precedes construction work. A
drag can be built or purchased
for few dollars and is easily
operated by any one who can
drive team. We need more
drags in this State.

Uncle Sam is waping reIent-
less war on the deadly house-fiy
and in late bulletin prepared
by the Department of ApricnI-
ture, valuable information is
given on the best means of COM
hating this deadly pest. The
most effective way of eXtermi-
mating the fly, according to the
bulletin, is to eradicate his
breeding places. The breeding
season of the fly begins early in
March ard continues throughout
the spring and summer months.
All dirt should be removed from
the premises, stables cleaned
and decaying vegetables de-
stroyed. The fly has rightly
been called the undertaker's s
travelling salesman, and in ad-
dition to his regular line OF
typhoid bugs" he carries g
side line of tuberculosis, Asiatic
cholera and other disease germs.
Now is the time to swat the
fly"

Better Than CaIOmeI and Doesn't
SaIiYate or Make You Sick.

Listen to me! Take no more sick

constipated. Don't lose days work !
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are slug
gish and call knocked out" if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour

AS we are allowed only one

We were at the golden we'd
ding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. P. Epps two weeks ago. This
was the first gathering of the
kind for us. There were some
sixty or seventy-fve of the
kindred and neighbors present
and all seemed to enjoy it huge
ly. May Heavens richest bless
ings go with this aged couple to
the end of their journey.
Here we will relate an incident
in the early life of Mrs. Mary
Sutton Epps: In the year '57 my
brother, Brantly H. Coltharp.
taught school in a house that
stood near the Thomas Merritt
residence on the Steele Creek
road. 1t was customary for
teachers in those days to treat
both patrons and scholars at
the close of the school, and one
day Miss Mary Sutton asked us
if Mr.. Coltharp was going to
treat us at the end of the school.
We told her that we had heard
nothing said about it and we
told her to ask him about it.
She declined to do that and said
she would rather bar him out and
then ask him. Well, one evening
we got notice to be present soon
the next morning that they were
going to close up the house. We
were on hand soon the next
morning but too late to get in at
the doors and had to crawl in at
a window and then that was
closed. Well, pretty soon brother
on the scene and in
quired what all of that noise in
the house was about and Miss
Mary Sutton told him that he
was barred out and that he
would have to promise them a
treat before they would let him
in, and he called on me to let
him in. We told him that we
couldn't do that; that it wouldn't
be doing the girls right and we
imagine at this late day that it
wouldn't have been a very
healthy undertaking for us.
Well, in the meantime Miss Mary
had written down what she
wished as a treat and passed it
to him through crack in the
door. He read it over and she
asked him if he was going to do
as she requested. He replied |
reckon so. and Miss Mary saws,
Now. Mr.. Coltharp, we will
have no reckon SOS in it, you
have just got to swear to it, sir"
We spoke up thea and told her
that there was no one present to
qualify him and that we would
be surety for him and that
seemed to satisfy the girls and
the doors were opened and the
school soon under way. The

How the Flow Of a River is Measured.
d YOU see man leaning over the

al DIS ear do not think that the man
is uying to talk TO the fishes or to

probably one Of the governments
engineers measuring the amount of

This is done by lowering an instru-
ment known as a current meter, into
the water at several points under the
bridge to determine the speed OF the
water and by measuring The depths
oflle water at the same points. From
such Information the flow OF The river
at that particular time and height
car be computed, and when such
measurements have been made at a
number of different heights the flow
of Jhe stream at any height can be de,
