The anli-spittiiii.' law is an
oruinarri thai sleeps the whole
year through in almost every
town i.: North Carolina. It
doesn't sl"e; or. account of its
inertia or inability to stay awake
but simply because it has no one
to wake it uj and put life into it.
Waking up the anti-spitting
ordinance once in awhile in a
town is a lire, good business
from more standpoints than one.
Below are the figuves of one
busy town that found time and
inclination to experiment with
this la"V These figures represent
the number of persons arrested
for spitting and tho dis
position of their cases from Jan
uiry 1, 1!(15 to May 1, l'- l".

Was th(j law not worth putting
into effect in this town? It was
worth it to be rid of -Ibl nuis
ances to say nothing of these as
sources of disease infection.
From a health standpoint the
spitting ordiance is one of the
oest on me statute duokr. All it
needs is'some live city officer or
health officer to resurrect it,
breath now life, into it and put it
to work. .
Promiscuous spitting is not
only one of the filthiest habits
tolerated, but one of the 'most,
dangerous. Dried sputum is the
principle meaus of spreading
tuberculosis germs, pneumonia
germs, diptheria, common colds
and nearly all other communi
cable diseases.

fJONEY DEW
CN OAK LEAVES
Full explanation from headpuarters re
garding "honey dew" on oak leaves
A few days ago a branch of
an oak tree was exhibited on tho
street here the leaves of which,
were covered with a sticky sub
stance resembling honey ntul
which is popularly known us
"honey dew" we sent a leaf oi
the oak to the Department of
Agriculture at Washington for
n report and here is what they
say:
Herald Publishing House,
Kings Mountain, N. C,
Mr. 0. G. Pago, Editor.
Dear Si i :
Your letter of the I ith'
instant, addressed to the Depv
artinent of Agriculture, repnest
ing information about "stifk;,"
substance" on oak leaves, t
specimen ot which has also been
received, was referred to this
Bureau for attention. The leaf
you sruu'it ueurs eviuence oi.
having been covered with lioney
dew. Honey dew is a secretion
more or less copiously deposited
by plant lice uud scale bugs.
The indication is. therefore, flint
the oaks in question are infected
with either one or the othr of
this group of insects. The honey
dew is very eagerly devoured by
ants for which reason the in
sects producing it have beer
frequently' crrWed ants' cows;.
The presumption is that it serves
the purpose of protecting those
insects from their natuial ena
mies. I enclose herewith,, our '
circular letter on shade tree oph
ids winch gives briefly the I'abits
of these insects and methods for
controlling them wherever tho
occasion arises.
!, Very truly yours,
A. D. Hopkins
In charge of Forest Iusect In
vestigattons.
(An excerpt from the letter.) '
SHADE TREE APHIS
A phids or so-called plant lice
occur in winged ar.d winglees
form on the branches, twis
and leaves. They feed on the sap
which they suck up by means of
their pointed beaks. Under fa '
orable conditions aphid suddo, -ly
appear in icreat number !
tho spring. Their prcscuce is
indicated by an abundance o '
sticky "honey dew", by the
presence of ants which feed on
the honey dew, and by this corl
ing and abnoriaal f.-lliag olleaw
es.
