"Piazzer Party" on the front PLAYER of
her residence last Saturday evg. The
PLAYER was lit up by 2 Japynese Ian

there on the PLAYER until the late hour
of 9 p. m. i1dulging in soshia1 converse

FLIES s. MUSKEETERS"
EDDYTORIUL

When we sot down in our ed
dytoriul chair and graspd our ed
dytoriul pen in one hand and our
head in tother in a vain effort to
think up a appropriate subject to
dash off a eddytoriuf about for
this wks ishue, we was obliged to
lay down our pen & use both
hands to fight off muskeeters s.
flies which had come in through
the winders & infested our sank
turn.
Then the happy thort oclsurd to
us as folders: "Why not write a
eddvtoriu1 on Flies & Muskeet-
ers?" so here goes:
Flies is more plentifuller in
Bingville at the present writing
that we can ever remember of them
being in past summers and as for
muskeeters they are bigger and
more profuser than ushual also.
Tst what stitch pests as flies & mus
keeters was made for amt quite
clear to us as we go to press and
amt newer been clear to US in the
past for that matter. Its a good
cal as Job Wilkins one of our most
respeckted citizens says. Job says
he has herd that everything
which as ever created is good for
somethink, but if emmy man in this
vicinity will speak right up and
| tell him whot in tarnashion flies
& n1uskeeters is good for s. will
prove it to his satisfackshion, he
will keep EN- in snokin tobacko
during the rest of the summer. Job
says that personally he ai1t got
| no more use for flies and muskeet-
ers than a cat has got use for a
couple of tails and that he likes
these insecks Jest like a cat likes
soap.
We persoom Job voices the gen.
eral sentiment of the entire COM
rnunitty in what he says concerning
these pests in our midst Cy Hos
kins says he amt had nlinnits
peece sinst flies and nuskeeters be-
gin to swarm. Cy is as bald as a
egg being as he amt got no more
hair on top of his head than he
has on the pans of his hands and
to perteck llisself from the pesky
flies & muskeeters Cy has to wear
his hat all the time inclooding
meels. When Cy retires at night he
don't wear his hat but he wears a
nightcap which is jest as good. Cy
says nightcap amt so arkard to
sleep in as a stiff brimmer hat.

general store is the only person
in Bingville who is in faver of
flies & muskeeters, but then its
plain to be saw why Hen upholds
these pestiferous insecks-Hen has
winder and door screens to sell to
keep flies out which is why he
thinks flies & muskeeters is a good
thing and the more of EN- there is
the more Hens screen bizness
thrives.
Most folks in Bingville however
considers its more econonlick to
fight and cuss flies & muskeeters
for two Or three munths while they
are at their worst than it would be
to go and lay out mummy for win
der & door screens. Not only that
but as Hank Dewberry says a
screen that will keep muskeeters
out will also keep EN- inside a
house perviding their shet in when
the screens is put up and who
wants to be shet UP with a whole
passel of these pests. This sounds
reasonable.
The only think we know of to
do is jest to put tip with flies &
muskeeters until they peter out
with the arrival of cold wether.
If ennybuddy knows of a better
plan to get rid of EN- than this we
would like to hear it.

PROTEST MADETO
GREAT BRITAIN
ON BLACKL|STS

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 81
Great Britain is warned, in the Ameci-
can note of protest against the black
list, made public last night by the
state department of the many serious
consequences to neutral right and neu-
trail relations which such an act must
necessarily involve"
Already in the hands Of the British
foreign office, the note declares "in
the gravest terms" that it is mani.
festly out of the question that the gov
ernment of the United States should
acquiesce in such methods" and that
the United States regards as "inevita-
bly, and essentially inconsistent with
the rights of all the citizens of all the
nations not involved in the war" 1t
reminds the British government that
citizens of the United States are en-
tirely within their rights in attempting
to trade with the people or the gov
ernments of any of the nations now at
war, subject only to well defined in
ternational practices and understand.
ings which the government of the Unit
ed States deems the government OF
Great Britain to have too lightly and
frequently disregarded
The American note, is even more
positive in its terms than officials have
! intimated. Ambassador Page was in.
structed by acting Secretary Polk tc
deliver it formally and textually.

HARDMAN LEADS FIELD
IN GOVERNOR RACE

ATLANTA, Ga, July 31.-With SEN
timent in the governors race rapidly
crystallizing recently, it is apparent
that DR.. L. G. Hardman is leading the
field. The first to announce, he began
early, and has waged an aggressiy e
campaign, carrying it directly to the
people. He has visited practically
every county in the state, which is
greatly TO his advantage, as he makes
q fine impression and gains strength
wherever he goes.
DR., Hardman's style Of campaigning
appeals to the people because of the
ligh plane upon which he bases it.
Making no references to the other can
didates, he simply presents his own
cause, dwelling on his legislative re.

he advocates, including law enforce
ment, increased educational oppor
