Fitfht Flies and Mosquitoes Will the folk* heed the advice of the county health officer Dr. Wil liam E. Warren recently, issued a warning; against the mosquito and the fly—.both of them, dangerous pests. Strange to say, they Ifrotn breed on our own premises , j The'nniSi|uito' has but one birth place—stagnant water. So you may find him swarming from any old ves- Ignorance aiul the I^avv Ignorance of the law excuses no man, yet ignorance is the basis upon which many crimes arc committed, ignorance is u positive' hotbed for rime. The gernvs of crime arc con ceived in ignorance and thrive within its narrow, cold,tiu£k confines. A clear demonstration of this fact is shown in our own county. In his confession, made this week,-that he killed his own bal>y a few months. Oscar Wynn. who is now in jail here awaiting trial for murder, opened hit' heart in part. Vet it is clear that he has a very low conception of what lw has really done; just enough tV know the voice of his conscience, which causes fear to him in a child ish way, rather -than as a criminal. Wynn is 2C years old,- a man of kood physical strength, hut evidently oJ low mentality and apparently void of spirituality. However, the want of opportunity —such as the State should give every pi rson—is one of the great troubles :n this case. He can neither read nor w rite, which is not so unusual, but he can not even tell the time of day tiy a watch or clock: and when shown ! the face of a watch, he states that j no person e\\-r told him how to tell the time or To explain a single thing that woujhl help him to know how to tel.l the time. It is possible that his parents were opposed to education and schools, too. It is usually just such folks who are against education. . At-. any rate, Wynn says that he was put between the plow handles as soon as he could lama f^dOQsW P ' I should be killed t V Bee Brand Powder or \ Liquid kiiii Flies, Fleas, \ Mosquitoes, Roaches. \ Ants, Water Bugs, Bed \ Bufs, Moths, Crickets, \ Poultnr Lice and many j other insects. , I Powdat Liquid / locudajc socaodrsc j / Write for free book let on kill f tig Imwi ««tail s«r«l—inMtta I Tsastsr- V Bee \ Brand INSECT I &F* Jg f sels that will catch water."The mo»- - quito carries ev?ry case of malaria i that man has, as well us several other s diseases.

Nor did the state ever have a man to go to him in his boyhood and say, "You must go,- to school, at least enough to know right fi-oni wrong." Now, the State has to go to the expense of keeping a man in jail, an officer to prosecute, a judge to hear, and a jury to say whether or not he i* guilty of killing his own baby, he cause he was too ignorant to love, and too ignorant U> know and appre ciate the better things in life. A part of the prime committed by- Oscar Wynn may be properly charged to the neglect of the .State, which has 110 right to permit ,any child to grow up in such dense ignorance. It may be claimed that Wynh did rot have the capacity to learn. In his confession,, he takes care Ur say that he "felt a fit coming 011" him, that he rushed toward the bed where the child lay, and that the next thing he knew after that was when he aroused with his arm lying across his baby's neck. Soon after the crime he lad the capacity to inquire if the State could hang a man without prov ing his guilt. So he has, at least, an instinct that leads to self-preser vation. S. It.
