Pickens. February 9.?Auditor
Keith came in from his rounds of
the county the last of' tho weeK
ami says there uro so ue vory enthusiastic
school districts in tho
upper part of this county.
The cause of their rejoicing is
tho tax on dogs. In Pumpkintown
district, which has levied a
special tax of thi eo mills for years
1 I * I - 1 A
ior scnooi purposes, me nog lax
amounts to more than the special
levy. Tho special tax the past
year was about $70 and the dog
tax to bo collected in tho fall will
amount to $81. This means that
there is the astonishingly large
number of 102 dogs in one small
school district. There are fiftytwo
districts in the county, which
no doubt .vill average equally as
well, and this gives l'ickens county
a dog census of about 8.00U.
This is about throe dogs to every
qualified voter.
A TOUCHING SIORY

girl was in declining health, with

physicians gave her up. Wo wero
almost in despair, when wo resolved
to try Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds. The first bottle gave
relief;after taking four bottles she
was cured, and is now in perfect
health." Never fails to relievo

Senator Clay of Georgia to-day
introduced a bill to prohibit dealing
in options and futures in raw
or unmanufactured cotton, wheat,

pork, lard and bacon. The bill
is uiodoled somewhat on the Hatch !

attracted so much attention
throughout the country. It defines
options und futures declares '
them to be obstructions and restra
ints upon commerce and provides
that anybody a party to anyoption
or future contract, as defined,
shall bo guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction shall pay
not loss than one thousand dollars '
and in addition shall he imprisoned
not less than one or more than
three years. The hill prohibits
tho use of the.mails to any person
or persons, corporation or corporations
for tho purpeso of entering
into or carrying out any contract
known as options or futures, as
described, and such use is declared
a misdemeanor with tho samo
punishment as provided above.
Plans have been effected looking
to the extension of the old
Throe C's road into tho coul fields
of Tennessee, and from thin time
the work will bo actively pushed.
The road will be lengthened about
100 miles. The terminus will
probably be Johnson City, which
