JntroduecH Bill to Enforce Collection of License Tax. , ? , ? a? Columbia, Feb. 6. ? Occasionally Col. Alan Johnstone, of Newberry, introduces a# bill, sort of a rare oc currence. He generally ? knows al| about the pet measures of other sen ators, but his name is seldom put down in the journals as an author. He hn:> introduced a bill which of it Kelf should attract favorabletattention, but the fact that ho fathers it 'indi cates that it is a matter of impor tance. It is a bill to enforce the collection of tho license tax on dogs and to com pel the vaccination of dogs, for the prevention of rabies. There were 272 persons treated at the state laboratory at the university last year because of having been bitten by dogs suspected of having rabies. How much more economical it would be to cut off the source of supply of rabid dogs? That is the commercial way of looking at this proposition. Dogs can be inocula ted successfully against rabies. In Columbia last week there haves been two "mad-dog" scares. Twenty five dogs are known to have been bit ten in Shandon by one dog that was killed and its brain showed that it was infected. Sumter Pinches "Gypsies." Automobiles 01 gypsum recently vis itejj Lancaster and the vari-colored dresses of trfb women attracted consid erable attention on the streets. This bunch or another one, got into trouble here because of attempts to "tell for tunds" or turn some "tricks of the trade", which generally means petit larceny, when the backs of their pa trons are turned. In Sumter they foupd themselves in the clutchcs of the TftW, as the following story from Sumter Daily Item relates: "A cara van of six automobiles loaded with gypsies, their families and all of their belongings passed through town this morning but stopped long enough to invade and rob the store of L. A. Welch at the corner of Liberty and Purdy streets. However, four of the six cars were stopped near the city limits and the gypsies brought back to town by Motorcycle Policeman Dol lard. In the recorder's court the fou? men were tried and found gvjilty of vagrancy and also made to pay back the money which they had secured from Mr. Welch's store. It seems that while some of the gypsies sur rounded Mr. Welch to tell his fortune, others went behind Mhe courtfer and raided the cash drawer, taking all the money it contained. When fined the gypsies protested that they had no , money, but when told they would be locked up, if they did not produce the coin, they went into their shoes, took money from their hats, out of their belts and other places producing coins and bills of all denominations. Ten dollars each was paid by the four nien and fifteen ? dollars additional to Mr. Welch. ? In the car were women and children aged apparently from two weeks to a hundred years. Each car was rigged out to carry camping equipment and practically everything else a family might need. The cars, all good ones, a Packard, Hudson, Dodge, Jeffrey and other well known makes, no Fords being present, were escorted to the city limits and urged not to tarr>% in the county, and as they would be run in again, if caught be fore they tfot out of the county." $25,000 Damages Awarded. Columbia. Feb. 7.? The Supreme Court today handed down a decision by which (he estate of J. F. Kirkland gets a verdict of $25,000 damages against the Southern Railway for the ' death of Kirkland which occurred at1 Suniter. A post was being put up close to the track to support ? pipe carrying water to locomotives. Kirk land remarked that this would be a death trap, referring to the water collecting there. The next day he was knocked down from the side of n box car and killed. His estate sued for $60,000 and the jury awarded $.'*5,000. This was cut down by the jtidpe to 525,000. Rev. Father Hubert E. Dahme. pas- j tcr of St. Joseph's German Catholic church of Rridffeport, Conn., was as sassinated as he walked through the streets of that city Monday night. The assassin escaped and the police are without a clue as to the cause of the shooting. Eli Everett, 65, shot his wife, 23, to death And then committed suicide at their home at Stroud?burg, Pa.. Tuca day morning, They -had been retried a year. Motorists F leed. "'v Constable Huey Montgomery of Magistrate Williams' court, has nabb ed about thirteen or fourteen motor ists from Columbia, Rock Hill, Lan caster and other points for driving cars without the 1924 * state license tag.
