"As several smaller children were there Mrs. Bowers 'caught the dog by the neck. Although bitten on both hands, she held him and called for help. As no one answered her call, she sent the boy who had been bit ten to the house for a large knife. When he got back she was almost exhausted, but managed to cut the dog's head almost off. The head was sent to Raleigh for examination. Mrs. Bowers and child left this afternoon to take the Pas teud treatment." Why Simmons Took the Back Track. Statesville Landmark. Aggrieved because the Senate had turned down his friend Lorimer, Sen ator Bailey took it out in denouncing President Taft. "The unseating of Lorimer," says the Durham Herald, "shows that public opinion can some times reach as high a body as that of the United States Senate." And it might be added that the expression of public opinion was most effective in the defeat of every Senator siven teen in all who voted for Lorimer the first time and who has since come up for re-election. That expression of public sentiment doubtless had most to do with the final disposition of the Lorimer case. Why Simmons Couldn't Help Lorimer Again. Clinton News-Dispatch. If Mr. Lorimer will take into con sideration the fact that this is ,the year in whick Mr. Simmons stands for re-election, and the further fact that Governor Kitchin is bearing down so hard upon him, he will perhaps un derstand why the Senator could not help him this time.

These grasshoppers attack the square's which would later develop into cotton bolls, and sap the life from the stalks.

THE DANGEROUS HOUSE-FLY. The hot season of the year is now with us, and with it the common house-fly. As the hot weather ad vances this common pest will con-f tinue to increase rapidly .unless ac tive measures are taken to prevent it. Flies lay their eggs chiefly in stable manure, and if this is left without screens or other covers to keep the flies away, great numbers will be hatched in and around every stable. Local boards of health should make rules and regulations governing this common pest. Flies frequent filthy places, such as manure piles, garbage cans, cess-pools and privy vaults, and they thye come into the house, bring ing filthy germs, causing" such dis eases as typhoid fever, cholera in fantum, summer complaint, and oth er intestinal diseases. All refuse, such as manure, garbage, decaying vegetables and fruits, should be well covered or screened so that flies can not gain access to it. Swallowed His Collection.
