James Knox Taylor, Supervising Architect. Mail Rider Takes Muddy Bath. Mail Rider, Mr. A. J. Penney, who serves the people along: Route 1, had a serious ac cident the other day. The bridge over which he usually crosses the river had been lifted out of its place by the recent high water, yet it was, in a way, passable. Mr. Mr. Penney, being afraid to ride in his buggy over the bridge, as it was leaning, got out of nis buggy and was leading his horse over. Owing to slippery mud on the bridge the I orse lost his footing and fell on the bridge. In its' effort to get up, horse, buggy, driver and all went over the side into the muddy waters of Little River. Happily, Mr. Penney got out of the wa ter unhurt, and with the assistance of sev eral men whom he hailed to his help, also succeeded in getting his horse and buggy out without serious mishap to either.

Open Letter to Abbeville Rural Policemen. Gentlemen: Allow me to congratulate you on the efficient services you have ren dered the county since your appointment. It means a great deal for the county to feel that It has such capable and competent officers at the head of its police affairs. While we know you will overlook noth ing that has to do with the welfare of the county still there is one matte* which, be cause it does not come under your jurisdic tion you will probably not desire'to handle, that question concerns Abbeville County's dogs. Can you, gentlemen, not have the matter of looking up the untaxed dogs delegated to you so that while you are en gaged in policing the county you may also take a census of the dogs and see that the +ov Ic r?niri nn nil nf tViAmV It is understood that Mr. W. R. Dunn of Donalds, than whom there is no better citizen, put a man on a horse to make such a census in his townsip. There were 41 dogs returned. The census man discov ered much over a hundred in the town ship. This, gentlemen, is wrong. If a dog is not worth 50c to the owner it is worth nothing. Just such dogs as these are an nually destroying thousands of birds man's best asset on the farm from a bug ology standpoint. These dogs should be taxed or they should be put out of their misery. They are a constant menace. Every year scores of them go mad. They must live and an owner who does not care enough of his dog to pay a 50c tax on his head will in all probability not care to expend $5 per year feeding him, and so the dog must look out for himself. Did you know, gentlemen, that it is al < vfN 4- t*v>nr\nr<(V\1/\ f/\ wnloA oKaavn f k?Q UiWOt lUl^VOOlUlU I<y X tWDC OUCCJi 1U bit county on account of these poor ravenous dogs that roam over the country? It i6 a fact, any one who has tried to raise sheep will tell you so. Much land in the county is not worth anything except for pasturage and yet on account of the tame wolves the land own ers dare not undertake to stock such a farm with sheep. You could in the discharge of your ordi nary duties take tbis matter up and make such a crusade against the tame wolf as would at least do much to lessen the evil even if you did not eradicate it alto gether. Have the authorities to delegate this duty to you and place the people of the county under lasting obligations to you. W e sell wash dresses cheap ?Gash Bargain Store.
