(Editorial Correspondence.)
On Board Seaboard Train be
tween Hamlett and Charlotte,
June 27. -It never rains but it
pours. Things have a perverse
way of happening all at once.
When the management of The
Robesonian first decided to run
an excursion to Wrightsville
Beach it was the intention to run
it some lime between the 1st and
15th of July, so that it would not
interfere with our taking in the
Press Convention at Lenoir this
week. We Drorxised and the
Seaboard powers disposed: they
shoved the date June ) at us
and it was up to us to take that
date or refuse it without any as
surance that another date could
be gotten ; so there was only one
thing to do if we were to run the
excursion. Later we decided
that the Press Convention was
too important to miss, so this
morning we "hit the train," as
the drummers say, and started
for Lenoir, a day late. This
leaves Mr. Bethune, business
manager, with the bag to hold,
and with the excursion on his
hands. Besides having a multi
tude of details in connection with
the excursion to interfere with
work on the paper until Thurs
day morning, he will have to go
on the excursion; so the business
of getting out Thursday's paper
will devolve upon Foreman Porter
and his assistants. And they'll
do it We know they will. That's
why we were willing to leave it
with them. A more capable and
faithful set of compositors never
braced up to a case.
The foregoing just by way of
explanation or parenthesis or
whatever you please.
The Pullman icar the Seaboard
has recently put on between
Wilmingtonand Charlotte is cer
tainly a great relief. From
Lumberton to Charlotte is the
toughest trip at all on a stuffy
day coach, but on a Pullman or
chair car it is possible to make
the trip in comparative comfort

Senate Reject Root Amendment
Washington, June 26. The Can
adian reciprocy bill emerged from
its first ordeal in the Senate to
night unsathed. The Root
amendment, proposing a modi
fication of the woodpulp and
printpaper section of the agree
ment, was defeated after seven
hours of debate, by an over
whelming vote. The friends of
the amendment were so satisfied
of its defeat that a roll call on
the vote was not demanded.
This leaves the reciprocy
measure open to the general
light that is to follow for amend
ment of important provisions
of the Payne-AIdrich tariff law.
Senator LaFollette announced in
a speech opposing the Root
amendment that he would give
to the Senate a chance to pass
on general tariff amendments
for free paper, free lumber and
lumber products, and for reduct
ions in many other schedules.
Senator Clapp also announced
his intention of offering a free
paper amendment later; and
other Senators gave evidence of
their purpose to force from now
on consideration of tariff revision
on the widest plane.

The Nation' Garden Spot.
Charlotte Chronicle.
That is what The Wilmington
Star very properly terms the
trucking region of the eastern
section of this State. In proof,
as one instance, it says: "On
account of the scarcity of pocket
change, we regret to state that
$25,000 is about all that State
Senator W. S. Cobb, of Lumber
Bridge, will get for his Irish
potato crop this season. Owing
to the dry weather he will ship ,
oniy o,uw Darreis, wnicn is a
short crop. However, the price
is $5 a barrel compared with
$2.50 last year, which will make
his crop bring him as much as
10,000 barrels last year." It is
true, as The Star says, that when
eastern North Carolina farmers
and truckers get out and tickle
the earth and begin to 'gather in
more than a million dollars worth
of strawberries, and many mil
lions worth of early truck, pota
toes, peanuts, tobacco, cotton,
corn and other wearisome freight,
it makes trouble for the rail
roads. The railroads are com
pelled to run out more locomo
tives, put on more trains, employ
more men and get a move on
them, so they can take all these
North Carolina money crops to
about 30,000,000 hungry North
erners and Canadians, who de
pend on the happy and thrifty
North Carolina growers for the
good things of this life.

How to Suppress House flier.
That the housefly nuisance in
any community can be largely
suppressed by united effort on
the part of those who are in
terested can not be denied by
any one who understands the
situation.
The fly is not only disagreeable
but is a menace to health. Ty
phoid fever and cholera infan
tum, and probably other intesti
nal diseases are often carried to
victims by flies.
Steps should be taken in every
community to commence a vigo
rous fight against this pest and
it seems advisable to let every
one become well informed about
the breeding places of flies, and
the methods of preventing them.
Poisoning and trapping the flies
is also of great importance.
LIFE HISTORY AND BREEDING
PLACES OF HOUSEFLIES.
Flies originate largely from
the horse, cow and 'mule stables.
Cow manure will breed flies in
great numbers, in spite of many
reports to the contrary. In and
around such places the flies lay
their eggs. Fully ninety-five
per cent of all the flies develop
in the stable manure. Garbage
piles, heaps of decaying veget
able matter, and any accumula
tion of filth may breed flies.
The eggs hatch in less than
twenty-four hours into small,
white, wriggling maggots.
The maggot stage of the flies
lasts only five days in warm
weather. Full grown maggots
are about one-third inch long,
with body pointed at the head
end.
The full grown maggot changes
to a reddish-brown pupa stage,
about one-fifth inch long, which
lives about five days, and then
transforms to the adult winged
fly.
A generation of houseflies,
from egg to adult stage, may
develop in ten or eleven days.
This shows that if the stable
manure is hauled out once, a
week, flies will not have time to
mature.
Fully fifteen generations of
houseflies mature during the
summer.
Each female fly will lay about
one hundred and twenty eggs,
and this fact serves to account
for the great numbers of flies
where the breeding places are
not done away with in a com
munity.
Flies do not usually travel over
a few hundred yards from their
breeding places, so that it is en
tirely practicable, by united ef
fort on the part of those who
are interested, to do away with

POISONING FLIES WITH FORMALIN
There are several more or less
successful fly poisons, such as
Seibert's Poison Fly Paper, but
the writer has had best success
with Formalin. This costs only
fifty cents a pint, and is used by
placing one tablespoonful in a
half pint cup of one-half each of
milk and water. This should be
exposed in plates, and it is well
to put a piece of bread in the
middle of the mixture to furnish
more surface on which the flies
can light and feed.
This formalin solution seems
to attract the flies and kills them
quickly. The writer recently
poisoned over forty thousand
(about 4 quarts of flies) in less
than twenty-four hours in a calf
barn where the flies were very
numerous. In this manner
thousands of flies are killed be
fore they have deposited eggs.
When attempting to poison flies
around dwelling houses it is best
to expose the formalin poison
mixture outside as well as inside
the houses. Use it on the front
and back porches where the flies
are waiting to enter whenever
the doors are opened.
TIT i .
we can never succeed in Der-
manently
lessening the fly
nuisance Dy simply poisoning or
trapping the flies, but when we
attempt to prevent the breeding
places, the work of poisoning the
adult flies will be of great assis
tance. Every citizen who is interested
in the health and welfare of his
family should determine where
the flies are breeding and should
not be suspicious of his neigh
bor's premises until he has made
a careful search for the breeding
places of flies on his own place.

Fruit as Medicine.
Apples, pears and quinces are
all members of a bontanical iam
ily that includes the roses and is
scientifically known as pyrus
malus. Incidentally, the apple
has a wider range of growth
than any other fruit and the
United States is the largest
grower of any country in the
world. Ripe apples eaten raw
and thoroughly masticated, are
excellent for digestive troubles,
The pear shares the medicinal
qualities just recited, and in ad
dition, is somewhat more easily
digested by weak stomachs than
is the apple. The quince is only
used in the form of preserves,
as a rule, it is said that owing
to its excessive astringency when
raw, it is employed by the peas
antry of Europe to stop hemor
rnages by placing slices or it on
wounds.
The curative powers of the
grape are established facts, as
the history of the "cures" in
which the vine plays the chief
part, testifies.
Rhubarb, owing to the large
proportion of oxalic acid that it
contains, is a capital anti-scorbut
ic. In the case of minor forms
of scurvy, it acts as a curative.
The young plant, when stewed
and eaten at breakfast, is of
great assistance to the consti
pated. Its laxative qualities in
general are well known.
Bananas should be used with
caution by the constipated.
The fig possesses laxative pow
ers of a high order. This is also
true of dates and tamarinds.
Peaches, apricots and nectar
ines have marked laxative ef
fects. The plum, greengage, damson,
and so forth, all have medicinal
qualities.
Blackberries, raspberries,
huckleberries and most other
berries act as blood purifiers and
laxatives. From Physical Cul
ture for July.
