 Once on the way to the apartment of which Annie had spoken. Judge Crane halted the car long enough to enter drug store and get police headquarters on the wire Then back in the machine and again on their way.
 Their speed increased after they entered the park, and they tore northward along the East Drive, passing few astonished policemen who could only gape in open mouth anger after the machine. At one Hundred and Tenth street they turned vest and then up Eighth avenue uIitil they came to small, old-fashioned apart men house on one of the side streets.
 Annie left her seat and gained the sidewalk.
 You had better take the car down to the corner and wait there. she ex- plained, turning to Judge Crane. No one twill be leaving this place in a taxi at this time of the night but Susie. and when you see anyone come out and get into car, you can be sure it is her. I don't think she will let me go with her, so don't look for me. She'll probably make me stay upstairs to keep watch of the apartment. I'm pretty sure they have some valuables up there, though I wouldn't say that for sure. Anyway, the place is owned by Morrison, and he rents it under the name of Tyler. so you can find it again if you want it.,
 She touched Tracys hand for a mo- ment, a look passing between the two that made Judge Crane smile to himself, and in another moment the girl turned and crossed the sidewalk to enter the building.
 Following instructions, they continued on to the corner, where Tracy brought the car to halt just out of sight be- hind building

HONORARLE D. w. HOusTON.

HONORABLE D. w. HOUSTON
A friend writes me: "They are
talking about men for governor. Why
not Judge d. w Houston, Of Aber-
deem? He meets the Jeffersonian
standard in every respect-he is hon
est-he is capable and he is faithful
to the people Of Mississippi"
My friend describes Judge HOus-
ton accurately. To begin with he is
honest, fearless, patriotic, faithful to
his God, loyal to his country and de-
voted to his family Every drop of
blood that courses through his veins
is in sympathy with the plain, honest
white people of Mississippi. He
knows the people of the state as few
men know them. He loves them as
few men love them, and whether in
the office Of Governor, on the bench
or in private life his efforts are all
dedicated to their service.
The writer has known Judge Hous-
ton for many years. He has had an
opportunity to study him in all the
relations of life, and can truthfully
saw that the elements are so mixed
in him that nature might stand up
and say to all the world-"He is a
man." | have seen him in the depths
of pessimism when the lowering
clouds of disappointment almost
smothered his subdued soul, and then
| have seen him come forth with OPP
timism as radiant as sunlight. De-
feat gives him strength and the
righteousness of any cause that ne
espouses stimulates hope for the fu-
ture Of his state and the republic.
He is
One who never turns his back,
But marches breast forward;
Never doubts clouds will break:
Never dreams though right were
worsted wrong would triumph.
Holds, we fall to rise, baffed to fight
better;
Sleep to wake.
He understands the great problems
confronting Mississippi and our coun-
try, and in the solution of those
problems he never permits self-inter-
est to sway him from the path OF
rectitude and right thinking.
He is friend without variableness
or shadow of turning, and if it should
be your misfortune to be his foe, you
can rely upon him always doing the
brave and honorable thing.
But the great trouble about my
correspondents suggestion, is that
Judge Houston has no political aspir-
ations whatever. He enjoys lucra-
tive law practice, is happily situated
at home and | do not think that any
office would tempt him to change his
life. have never known one to take
as lively interest in politics as he does
who was as thoroughly devoid Of all
political aspirations as he is. To my
mind he is an ideal citizen and a
patriot as true and loyal to his state
as ever lived in the best days OF the
Greek civilization. His friendship is
an inspiration and his example sure
guide. In my estimation he stands
among the men of Mississippi
GAS some tall cliff that lifts its awful
form
Swels from the vale and midway
leaves the storm,
Though round its breast the rolling
clouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head. y
And have the supreme pleasure of
numbering him among my friends

STILL FIGHTING
THE MOSQUITO

The anti-malaria campaign being
conducted in Columbus by the State
Board Of Health, cooperating with
the city, is getting excellent results
in reducing the number of mosquitoes
throughout the town. Many citizens
have remarked on the fewness Of mos
quitoes this year as compared with
former years, and it is hoped that this
state of affairs may continue. To
help the campaign, it is requested
that all cases of mosquito annoyance
be reported to the headquarters of
the campaign at the city hall, or in
writing to the Director, care Box 472.
On the receipt of the complaint, the
premises in the immediate locality
will be inspected, and everything pos
sible done to locate the source Of the
nuisance.
Inspector Lyons reports that most
of the mosquito breeding discovered
at present is found in rain-barrels,
tubs, tin cans, and other containers
carelessly left about the premises.

.oaly three breeding places Of the
malarial mosquito were found during
the week ending July 9th which
means that the primary object Of the
campaign, the elimination Of malaria
in Columbus. is in fair way to be ac-
complished. A little over $4,000 has
been spent to date in permanent
work, and more than half Of this
amount has been contributed by the
State Board of Health. 1t is thought
that this money viii be well spent if
the work serves to reduce the mos
quito annoyance alone, even if mall
aria is not eliminated.
1t should be understood by the pub
lie that the malaria campaign is not
a so-called cleanup campaign, but
is directed solely against the breed
ing places of the mosquito. All other
matters of community sanitation
should be referred to the City Health
Officer for appropriate action.
