A. D. . Hop kins, who - is in charge of the Forest Insect "Investigaton for the Bureau of Entomology. , "The people of the South have an opportunity to make , a final effort, wfiteh if properly: direct ed, wili go far towards controll ing this pest, ' ' says Dr. Hopkins, The beetle is how passing - the winter in the bark of the dead and dying pines from which the needles nave not yet fallen. Thess trees should be cut, down and the bark of the main trunks destroyed by burning before May 1st or the beetles will :ome with the warm weather and take up their work of destruction. . This object may be accom plished without direct expense by turning the infested ' trees into cordwood or lnniber? but' it is essential that this cordwood be burned wth the bark on before May 1st and that the slabs of the lumber with the bark on be burn ed "before that time. It is , only necessary to treat the dead or dying trees from which the need les have not yet fallen. The dead treesfrom which th "need : "s ... les have been abandoned by the beetleTand may - be-J disregarded in control opera tions.' Fearing that the danger from the pine beetle is common to the whole. South, whose interests it considers identical with theirs, the Southern Railway Company is co-o Derating with the United States Department of Agricul ture in warning Southern timber owners of rhe threatened danger and how it may be avoided. Modern Politeness. is literally true. Ninety -five percent of our consumption comes from careless spitting, coughing and sneezing. Spit ik frequently laden with deadly disease germs particularly from consumptives Now wiien one coughs, spits or sneezes, a great multitude of tiny drops of spittal are violent ly eipejlled from the mouth and nose. The largest of these drops can be readily seen. A large number of smaller droplets can be found if a mirroV or piece" of glass is held before" the face when coughiner or sneezing. A tremendous quantity of still smaller droplets are discharged in the form of an invisible spray or mist, which floats about in the air for some time. ' Scientists have found that a man can cough, spit or sneez in a large hall or room where the air is quiet and these tiny , invisi ble germ-laden droplets will float in the air for a distance of 25 to 100 feet. These tiny droplets, in the form of mist or spray, may be breathed by : other peo ple or they may settle on objects with which we come into inti mate contact, such as our food and clothes. Viewed in " this light, such conduct is at least impolite. ; Furthermore, . it is dangerous to the public, at large" to have careless people actually coughing sneezing and spitting germ -laden matter ' i to . , their faces eyeri if it it in visible ,and in th e form . of. fine..' ; y ' -".. . : TJnfoi-tuhately it wiir.be. a, long uMuuMxa. time before we obey th&oldsaw, dpn;it;glnti By G.

When spit ting is necessary, " do not spit where it will later becomed dried and stirred up in the 'form of germladen dust. Such dust may later enter the lungs of another and produce-disease, or setlte on food or clothing. Spit in a cus pidor, in the gutter, into running water, or into the fire. Never spit in a pathway or in a dark corner. Disease gerpis live for many months in a dark place. Spit in the sunshine as bright sunlight will kill the germs in a few hours. Consumptives should spit in paper napkins or into sputa cups when cuspidors, etc., are not accessible. . Whenever possible, avoid coughing, spit-, ting and sneezing in the presence of others.

' most encouraging view of conditions in the Southeast is presented in the annual report of the Southern Railway company, which states that one of the most import ant factors in the strength of the com pany's position is the industrial and agricultural development- of the ter ritory traversed by its lines. The marker! agricultural nroarress due to the general adoption of approved methods bv the farmers of the South east, particularly the increas of di versified farming, and the diversifica tion of industries are noted. The management of the company, with a broad conception of its rela tions to the public, is making the rail way not merely a carrier of the peo- nlf flTirl nrndnr.ts of the South. DUt also a helpful factor in Southern de velopment. The report sets out the efforts being put forward to increase the prosperity of the people already in the Southeast, and, to attract in vestors and desirable settlers to the , territory served by th lines of the Southern railway. A review is given of the work being done by the cotton culture department, which is ; teach ing farmers, in localities where it is possible the bojl weevil may spread, to successfully combat the insect should it ever appear in their fields. and thus maintain their production instead t having to Jearn how to deal with it after it appears. The work' of this department will be ex tended" tc cover all territory alpng the company's lines to which there is even : a remote danser that the weevilmay spread. The importance to the. South, of maintaining its mon opoly of cotton- production is pointed out in connection with the vigorous efforts being made to raise cotton in otner parts of the world. The re port shows that ' the company is also encouraging live stock raising and dairying, in its territory. Recognition is -giveii the newspapers of the South east for' their valuable assistance' and also to commercial organizations, to banks and individuals- who have aid ed the company: in all its efforts to advance the agricultural prosperity of the Southeast. . t The more important additions and betterments completed ; and "undertak en during the; year are shown, among them the double track, lines through Lynchburg, Va.; and into Chattanooga, Tenn., 38 miles ; of double track . be tween ' Atlanta and Gainesville, Ga., modern lap-siaings on ine nne dc- ' tween Atlanta anti macon; tra-i Jvnpx- ville and .

Ai. - - -" C - - ' - Interarban Kews. . The people of King 's Mountain have grown anxious about the building of . the Inter urban, or of the Piedmont Traction Company, as it is officially known, ' to that place from, its present terminus at Gastonia,;atid "yesterday ?' a committe of usinesVJ men came to Charlotte to learn, impossible, 1 yhat the prospects were for the extension of the- line to King's Mountain. , . i They "learned that the : road will be built to their town from Gastonia, and that there qre now two lines from Gastonia under consideration,' one to the south, touching Linwood, or All Heab mg, as it; is known, arid the other by way of Bessemer City. 'The southern routh is -somewhat longer, but the workoi building a railroad would be lighter; while the Bessemer City route would be' heavier arid ' shorter. Which of these wiil be nally de- termined upon is not known, and until this 4s determined the road will not be extended. The building of the line from Gastonia to Kings Mountain will not be undertaken at ,:this im mediiate time, owing to the in creased activity" looking to put ting the Piedmont Traction Com pany liite.to Mt. Holly, and-later to Gastonia, Jnto 'operation but that it will be extended to Kings Mountain as soon as is practi caoie is certain. The delegation of business and professional men ' from Kines SSiSslSfei other officials of the company in Mr. Xiee's Office,' and talked the situation over informally, after which Mr. Lee accompanied the visitors to Mt. Holly over the new interurban; line, snowmg them the operation of the entire line, including the block signal plan and all. They were de ligted with the line to Mt. Holly and impressed upon the officials of the company that they are very anxious to see the line ex tended to Kings Mountain. Those in the party were Mr. Mauney, Mr. Plonk, Mr. Baker, Mr. Mauney and Mr. Neisler and Prof. A. T. Lindsay, the latteiof Linwood Collegei at All Healing. WORKING OUT PLANS On the Charlotte. Gastonia line the management of the Piedmont Traction. Company Js working out a number or tnmgs tne re suit of whichi may affect ihe building of subsequent mileage. The road is - being built to the standard of the Southern Rail way, or better, ana tnat it may stand all the possible, tests that may be put upon it, yet it is the intention of the management to work out a good many proposi tion& in actual operation so as to ascertain, exactly, the facts m the case, the result of which might affect subsequent building operations. The delegation lef t : Charlotte last night delighted' with the re sult of their visit to the cjty and confident that as soon, as is prac ticable the line of the Piedmont Traction Company will be oper ating into their - town.Char lotte News, March 22th- , - : .
