An Appeal to the Patriot - Pay your tax, my neighbor, Pay your tax to-day. Sheriff Adams is a-walting, . And you should not delay. .' Cotton is bringing twelve the pound, And crrain is selling well; So bring your purse around, And help the funds to swell. The prison house i to be built, , The pauper claims be paid; , An honest man will meet his dues, And not wait to be made. "Treasurys tmpty," says Art Deal. "I have no funds a tall; , The teachers. neet their salary, On me they daily call." "It is my duty," says the patriot, "I owe ray country first; So I must see the sheriff, Or times will grow worse."

' . believes also that the method of swatting me mes, using ny-pa- per or maoor traps or poisons is ineffective, but may help. His method is to make use in various ways of the 'conic il wire-mesb ;ttv-tra.i, which is familiar to al- 1 most every one, in such a way , as to turn the tables on the flies j and "put, them in jail and let ourselves out." vThe plan invol ves, of course, the abolition of all breeding and feeding-pi aces for flies and the application of the fly trap mentioned above to the garbage can, to the garbage can, to the screens on windows, to the covers on manure-bins, etc , all of which can be done by a little mechanical ingen. uity. Garbage-cans are .on the market which have a'cover larg er than the can. and not fitting down closely on it so that the flies gain access to the can un der tbe cover and escape through a hole in the cover over which is faxed a fly-trap, in fighting tbe fly, Hodge has found tbat tbe essentials of a successful campaign are to transfer the tight against the fly.from tbe house to outdoors, and then to exterminate it. Another essen tial feature in a town or city ? is tbat households must co-operate One ignorant or careless home can breed flies enough to vitiate thJbest endeavors of a whole town. Hodge has succeeded in his neighborhood in practically eliminating flies; he uses no screens in windows and doors,' and can sit outdoors or bave windows or doors open at any time without molestion. As flies begin to breed early in the spring and a3 they oreed with marvelous rapidity, the time to arrange for a fly campaign is in the winter. ' .'. ..

Can any real , progress be made in checking our fire waste, enormous as it is, until the man woo nas a nre cease to be re- gaurded as an-unfortunate and is looked upon as a public offen der? Individual legal responsi bility for loss by fire seems drastic corrective, but is it not tbe rea I remidv. unaer tne tJode jviapoleon in France a man is held responsi ble for fire damage to bis neigh bor. In France a tenant usually in sures by one policy the follow ing items: (1) His own property; (2) The risk ot responsibility for damage to the building;(3) The' risk of responsibility for dam age to property of bis neighbors, A landlord insures in one policv the following items: (IV His own property; (2) His responsi bility for damage to the proper ty of tenants, (3$tHis responsibi lity tor damage to the property of his neighbors. , Why should this not be done wnen &u per cent oi tires are due to gross carelessness? The loss by fire in France is about ane eight of that in tbe United Stales. Nearly all of our cities and towns make some provision for putting out tires after they start. In North Carolina less than 50 per cent of our property is protected by insurances. A loss falls heavily o pur citizens and the State, county, and cities in loss of taxaple property whether the fire is caused by malice. carelessness, or thoughtless ness..' - . Co-operation. .

A report has recently been issued show. ing that somewhere between 2, 000 and 2,500 lives were saved by health work in this State as t year. Two thousands lives at $1,700 each. ' It any one says that 11,700 is to much for a bu. man life, ask bim what be will take lor -his. Nothing is allowed here for the sickness prevented Of coarse nobody is kicking but the undertakers. , But here is tbe point. If a little health work ' does a little good, will not more health work do more good? That is what some people think, and so the State Board of Health has been modest- in asking for a total in crease of $32,000 to carry on the increasing amount of health work demanded of them. . Tbe matter of .increased health work and decreased, death rates is now in the bands of the Leg Mature. If the Legislature sees lit to grant it, the matter will be put ap ..to tbe health authorities to deliver tbe goods; it not it will remain with the Legislature and tbe people, tbat selected the : representatives. Where do you stand ; on this "Is it to be another case of waiting until the robins are all dead, as with the wile pigeons before we wake up to their value and pass protecting laws? Can't our present Legislature act be lore it is loo later Thus ques- tios a correspondent in the Ral eigh Times. Does the farmer and the gard ener realize the value of the robin to him in destroying cut. worms, bud worms, and hund reds of other insects which would destroy his crops but for tbe birds? What reason have We in North Carolina for destroying a bird which all but five of the States protect absolutely? Do we . need tbe robin for food? Certainly not: But it is said tbat our boys bave to kill something so we let them kill tbe robins. This Is a poor excuse for exterminating our best friends. Albany., N. Y. March 3.-Har ry K.
