ASKS PUBLIC TO STOP
ABUSE AT CEMETERY
.ditor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
1 would like through the columns
Of your paper TO call attention to a
few facts in regard to Oak Grove
Cemetery 1t has been the practice
for a number of years for a crowd of
children to go to the cemetery on
Sunday afternoon and roam from
place to place picking flowers from
the lot and graves of our loved ones.
This practice has already begun this
spring, and to me it is very sad
fact but nevertheless true Many
have spent time and money beautify-
ing the sacred spot where their low
ed ones rest, and this practice of
gathering these flowers should be
stopped, and it can be done if the
parents of these children will do their
duty. Many of them are old enough
70 know better and many of them
would know better if their parents
would tell them.
A few days ago some one stole II
tulips from my lot and offered re-
ward of $40 for the identity OF the per
non who did it, and | would give this
amount freely to know the name of
the person who is low down enough
to do thing of that kind. Since then
some one has taken five more, and be-
sides IL from Mrs. Lincoln's lot
which is just across the drive from
mine. l planted these flowers to
beautify the most sacred spot on earth
to me and do not appreciate any one
stealing them, and further more if |
can find out at any time who is do
ing this / will prosecute them if it is
possible to do 50. / had rather you
would break in my home and steal
something than to steal the flowers
from this sacred spot
have also been told that children
we're not the only ones to go and take
these flowers, but that grown pople
had been seen taking them. | cannot
imagine such thing and hate to
think that it is true
/ feel that in calling the attention
of the public to the above facts will
be sufficient, at least / hope SO. 1
also hope that ever one who owns
lot in Oak Grove Cemetery will help
me to break up this practice. am
willing and ready to put my time and
money if necessary to help do this.

TO ENCOURAGE PRODUCTION IN
 UNITED STATES
National Commerce Chamber To Show Need of Speeding
 Up Outputs

WASHINGTON, April 24. - Means of stimulating production of the ne cessities of life, as step toward the cure of American economic and so- cial ills, will be the sole topic ot dis cussion at the eighth annual confer ence of the United States chamber of commerce which will open in At lantic City next Monday and con tinue until Thursday.
 Holding that the responsibility for increased production rests equally up on capital, labor and agricultural ln- terests. the program committee, it is announced here today, has arranged to have representatives of each pres ent their views on the question.
 While the conference will deal pri- marily with material methods of in- creasing production, such as intro duction of modern machinery, elimin- ation of waste and the increased ef- ficiency of distribution, the chamber is prepared, it was learned today, to follow with nationwide effort to stir individual Americans to their du- ty to aid the movement in every line of endeavor.
 Industrial unrest reported by mem bers of the chamber is, without ex- ception, ascribed as the basic cause for the high prices the average work CT has to pay for everything he pur- chases. Against this however, is re- ported an apparent disposition on the part of the worker to reduce his ef- fort during working hours or to lay off a part of each week or month. The convention will endeavor to work out a program by means of which both the manufacturer and the employe will be shown the necessity of aug menting output for the common good rather than as a method of increasing immediate profits.
 s'Work alone offers cure for many of the ills left by war" said Homer

WHY FLIES ARE DANGEROUS

Flies may transmit disease in eith- | CT of two ways.
 The first method is by mechanical transference, whereby the insect be- comes contaminated with the para sites or microorganisms of disease as a consequence of frequenting filth and places where these agents abound, thus carrying pathogenic or ganisms directly to food or drink par taken of by man. This is by far the most common method of conveyance. All forms of flies may act as dis ease carriers in this manner, but the house fly is the principal offending species owing to its prevalence and great tendency to frequent filth. When it is realized that milk, which is one of the best media for the growth of bacteria, may be con- taminated by flies merely through ithe act of feeding and that "clean flies" may even derive infection from those which have but recently visited outhouses and stables, the dangers of food contamination may be conceiv- ed.
 | The second method of disease trans
 mission is by inoculation. That is, Ithe actual injection into the system by the insect of pathogenic organ lisms of parasites.
 Fortunately, disease can not be transmitted in this manner by the
 non-biting fly, else our safety would
 be far less than at present. In our lcountry these varieties are relatively infrequent.
 Of the diseases which may be transmitted by flies the following are
 worthy of consideration: Typhoid fever. diarrhea and enteritis, cholera, ldysentery, paratyphoid fever, intesti-
 nal parasitic infections, sleeping sick jess, surra magma, with a number of others where there is a distinct
 possibility of transference.
 Typhoid fever is the most common
 and important infection of man con veyed by flies. It is an acute, infec Itious disease of bacterial origin.
 A second infection, and one analo
 gous to typhoid, frequently conveyed
 by flies, is summer diarrhea. This is
 more particularly a disease of chil
 dren, but adults are also susceptible , Annually ill the Uni,ed States 70,0OC , infants under 2 years of age die from . diarrhea and enteritis, the infection: - nature of which has now been defi 5 nitely determined.
 3 Cholera and dysentery, which art
 primarily intestinal affections con
 veyed in the same manner as typhoid ,- are unquestionabiy at times dissem l. mated by flies.

 "The duty of America is to produce. The responsibility lies on all alike, the merchant, the farmer, the work CT. The contribution of each of these will be laid before our meeting"
 The relation between railroads and national production, antitrust law restrictions, the evils of standard ization, improved methods of taxa. ton and foreign commerce will be among the topics discussed. Increas- ed production abroad must be foster ed, officials of the chamber say. so that goods, not notes" can be eX- changed for the produce of the Unit ed States.

Another New Baptist Church.
L. P. RUSSELL.

About five miles from Rock

there will be built another new
Baptist Church. This part of

this enterprise. The McDonalds
have a, sawmill and plenty of
timber; and are therefore to be-
gin cutting the church bill this
week. A $4,000 church will be
built. Mr.. J. W. Brigham will
likely do the carpenter work.
Mr.. D. w. Mcdonald was the
first man to mention this new
church to me. He deserves
credit for his idea.
On Sept. 10, at 4 P. W., which
is the third Sunday, the writer
will preach under a tree in the
yard of Mr.. William McRae who
lives on the Cookery plantation
on the Hoffman road. The en-
tire community is invited. A
large crowd is expected. 1t is
hoped that an organization may
be formed at this time. Let all
the people in this community
pull together in this undertaking.
Respectfully,
A. G. MELTON.
