THE FLY AND WHY.
Atlanta seems th be in the midst of
some kind of war against the house
fly, which sanitary authorities have
long since set down as one of the
moot prolific causes of disease. We
do not know of any Southern city
that to without flies. In Houston, we
have them all the year round. Even
during that freezing weather in Janu-
ary there were restaurants that had
almost their usual quota of flies.
What we should like to see is some
successful effort to oombat the fly
evil. Very many do not believe that
files have anything to do with the
carrying of disease germs, and you
can get very little antl-fly sympathy
from them.
Yet the fly evil is not without a
remedy, the same old remedy that
.J to be the natural enemy of dis-
ease all the time. We mean cleanli-
ness. Not partial cleanliness, but ab-
solute cleanliness. It is not merely
5 necessary to keep a house clean and
well screened, but the promises as
well. A filthy back yard can breed
enough fllee to bother thousands of
people, and a person who screens his
house and pays no attention to his
back yard to merely protecting him
self while breeding pestilence for his
neigtiors.
We notice the Atlanta anti-fly move-
ment is paying especial attention to
negro restaurants and the portions of
the city in which the negroes reside.
That to quite a good precaution, but
it to ‘useless to enforce cleanliness
among the negroes unless the white
people are likewise disciplined.
Here In Houston, we notice fre-
quently the garbage cans along the
sidewalks of even the fashionable
residential sections. It is not uncom-
mon for these cans to be uncovered.
It is not uncommon for stray dogs to
upset them and scatter their con-
tents on the ground, with the result
that the fly-breeding industry is given
a tremendous boost.
It is onr judgment 'hat no fly cru-
sade can succeed except through the
diligence of a health board that la
equipped with all the power neces-
sary to such a task—the power that
can compel every citizen to keep his
'The only difference being that the
Maine waa destroyed by accident or
the enemy, the Spaniards, while the
Texas was dismantled and used as a
target for the battleship New Hamp-

was not in keeping with the others,
but it was wrong to have her shot
full of holes by s sister ship and sink,
to say nothing of the wanton destruc-
tion of property to the value of more
than a million dollars. The old ship
could have been sold for at least
that amount, and if the government
could find no better use for the money
she would have brought at public
sale there are thousands of charitable
institutions that could have made
good use of it..

1 At the residence of Rev. R. R. Ham-
uin last evening at 8 o’clock there was
a goodly company gathered. The oc-
casion was the 20th anniversary of
the marriage of Rev. Hamlin and his
beloved wife. The affair was a sur-
prise to them and as the people came
in two and three and half-dozens there
was much laughter and good cheer.
When some hundred or more had
gathered the beautiful strains of the
wedding march played by Mrs. Geo.
Moore and Messrs. Paul Haddix and
Gerald Pond bespoke the approach of
the bride and groom, youthful, beau-
tiful and happy. They were attended

them if, after all these years of ex

to continue; they replied audibly, "I
do." They turned to their friends and
were met by a perfect shower of rice.
Then Mr. J. W Bond in a clever little
speech, presented the gifts of the con-
gregation, an exquisite set of Havil

In addition to these there were many
