I think so myeelf, but I think judging from the appearance of teem when I came here that it would have been well to have or ganized a Society then as well as now. In regard to the death of the grey horse, I will say that no one who saw the horse seemed to think that he-died from overheat. This horse was taken with a cough which precedes a broken wind, and when this stopped he was wind-br®ketu Sometime ago I asked for a team to relieve this horse, but rt that time eouid not get one, and on the day this horse was taken *ick, I gave all the team water four times from the time I took them from the barn, as I do every warm day. The horse showed no signs of being too waryi until after six o'-clock on the way back to'the bam. "When we took him from the wagon he walked about one mile. Mess. George Jenkins and Joe Parisher stayed with me until 2:30 o'clock a. m., when the horse died. Either of these gen tlemen will tell the public that the horse must bave died from a broken blood vessel or head trou ble. t C. Suii-th 1 note aim that your paper speaks of the beat mule being in a bad condition, tl also admit that one of the mules I use is siok. This mute came here in May, when hot and dry. 1 asked if 3 had best lot thispair of mules rest half of the lime. J was told that they were ibrought here to work, although this mule has not worked over six hours a day since he came here. I asked three times for a mule in place of this .one, so thai .he .could bt worked to a cart by iiimself, which would prevent the loss of work by loth. When J took charge of this work, I was instructed that Mr. Reuben Harris would look .after team when not on the road. Therefore, J have had oothing to do with the feeding of tfeem. At that time no grain was carried out, just hay for the noon meal. I asked for corn and oats were sent which team would not eat without having it mixed with some other grain. Mess. Staton and Godwin were out on and as I had repeatedly asked for corn, I then asked these two gen tlemen if 1 could get corn to give team at noon, as they would not ,eat the oats. They told me I could and I suppose they told Harris as .corn was sent for a * few days. Then nothing but oats again. When I sent to Harris for corn again he sent me word that they needed no corn. Now this a sample of the treat ment 1 have had since I have been in this county. lam a poor man but I demand to be treated not stabbed in the back. Respectfully, Frank G. Hines, Road Foreman. Hone Killed by Train Tuesday afternoon A. B. Ay ers, of Bear Grass, was driving home on the Washington Road, and with a double team was crossing the railroad tract at the Standard Oil tank. The work train was coming from the sand pit, and was near the team be fore Mr. Ayers realized it. He reined the horses to the left and escaped the engine and several cars, but one of the horses was struck by the rear car and *so badly injured that it had to be killed. The other animal ww WILLIAMSTON, N. C.. FRIDAY, AUGUST 8. 1913 slightly injured, and Mr. Ayers fell between the horses and by a hair's breadth was saved from being crushed.

They didn't catch anything. "It" caught them, and usually the "it" is a fly or , mgsquito. People used to think chills and fever came from swamps, just because the swamps bred the kind of mosquitoes which ■ took keen delight in biting a per son with malaria and then in biting one who didn't have it. If you could follow a fly for a . day or could see the germs on its pad-like feet, you would not be surprised at getting sick. The only safe way to prevent the spread of disease by flies is to clean out all filth so that flies can't be hatched, and to kill all the flies in Sight. Too Many Laws Vice-President Marshall was undoubtly right when he stated that we have been coddled by too many laws and lead into thinking that the standard of right and wrong is preserved by statute. Mr. Marshall has made a reputa tion as a profound and sensible student of government, but noth ing he has ever said has impress ed us more forcibly than this statement. Thy great trouble with the rank and file of reform j ers is that they expect miracles from laws when, as we argued be fore, and as is plainly evident, no law is worth the paper it is writ ten on if it is not backed by a strong public sentiment. The prohibition laws and the anti-cig arette laws on our statute books would be useless if their enforce ment were not demanded by citi ■ zens of each town. "The idea is i prevalent throughout the United . States," said the Vice-President, "that as long as we do not trans gress against the laws that have been passed bf some legislature or by Congress we are safe, and as a result of this a new sort of citizenship and a false code of morals has sprung up. What we need is fewer laws and more citizens who appreciate the rights of their fellow men and give more attention to the Golden Rule. There are three types of law abiding citizens: those who obey the law because they are afraid of the sheriff, those who obey it because it is the law, and those, far too few, whom I like to call automatic citizens, who never think what the law is but simply do right"—Sel.
