it is probable that the owner would say nothing. I would not care much what he said. But, all the same, under such circumstances, or at least if I should kill the dog before he committed the act, I would be liable to prosecution, and if the owner could make it appear that the dog was worth anything, I would have to pay. And that is hard. "But leaving all of this out of the question, there are too many dogs. It is too easy to own a dog. Lots of people own dogs who are not able to own them, and here comes the trouble. You think all the dogs in the county are returned 101 taxation? Not by 50 per cent., hardly. Why? Well, I can't give you all the reasons; but I can tell you some of them. Some dog owners simply do not make returns. Then again, many dogs ore owned by Negro children, and are not claimed by the fathers of the children. Ask the fathers who feed the dogs, and they are pretty apt to tell you 'nobody.' That in a sense is a fact; but in another sense it is a long way from the fact. Those of us farmers who try to raise chickens, turkeys, sheep, etc., feed them. These are the kind of dogs that kill sheep and suck eggs. They live off the very fat of the land, and each year cost the neighbors an amount equal to the value of the finest bird dog in the country. "I hardly think that there are a great many farmers who will disagree with me in my statements. 1 am auic will be no disagreement with me on the fact of any farmer who tries to have chickens and eggs. If any of these have experiences different from mine, they are certainly fortunate. "Now I can think of only one reasonably satisfactory remedy for the situation. I have discussed the matter with numerous people?farmers, businessmen and others?and all agree on the idea that something should be done. Aa the best thing in sight we have arrived at the conclusion that it would be well if the general assembly would pass an act providing for the levy of a tax of $1.00 a head on all dogs. Let it be arranged so that on the payment of $1.00, the county will issue a collar and tag good for one year. Then let the law go further and offer, under proper conditions and safe??J - of si a head for every guu.ru a, a. _ unlicensed dog: that may be killed oy the public." The reporter acquiesced with Mr. Gettys in everything that was said; but went on to remark that the general assembly had considered some kind of a proposed dog act at every session since the war, and had never had the manhood to enact such a law yet. "Yes, that may be true," replied Mr. Gettys;"but I believe that public sentiment can yet be aroused on the subject sufficiently to accomplish something. It is not fair to allow the kind of people who are responsible for such dogs as I complain of, to go on imposing on the rest of us as they are doing, and I think we should give the general assembly to understand that the best interests of the public should be considered in this matter. From my standpoint, the raisers of sheep and poultry are entitled to at least as much consideration as are people who persist in furnishing shelter for half-starved dogs.'

Withers, about four miles from Fort Mill, on Monday. Until recently the deceased was employed in the shops of the Southern railway at Columbia. He was stricken with typhoid fever about a month ago, and this disease was the cause of his death. He was about 27 years of ago. The funeral services were conducted at Pineville. N. C., and the interment was at Flint Hill. Death of Mm. Joseph Ailami. Mrs. Joseph E. Adams died at her home at Bowling Green last Monday evening at 6.30. She had been in precarious health for more than a year, the cause of her trouble being a cancer. Several surgical operations were performed in the hope of eradicating the . disease; but they were futile. Mrs. Adams was the daughter of Mr. Noah Lutz, of Lincoln county, N. C. She was married to Mr. Joseph E. Adams in 1899. Her husband survives her: but she leaves no children. The remains were taken to Lincoln county for burial. The funeral services were conducted by Rev.

It is reported that he recognized two of his assailants, but as yet no arrests have been made. At a meeting of the town council this afternoon, Mr. W. H. Wylie and several employes of the Catawba Power company, testified that the reason of Officer Nivens's arrest at the dam last week was because he was drunk and disorderly. Mr. Nivens denies the charges and has resigned until the council can investigate the matter fully. Will Help Fort Mill Too. Times, November 5: By the addition of two more trains on the old Three C's railroad, now operated by the Southern, the people of this township will soon be enabled to go to Yorkville. spend the day, and return in the evening of the day, all by rail. It is announced that on or about December 1 two trains, one each way, will be run out from Rock Hill early in the morning and return in the afternoon, connecting with both north and southbound Southern trains at Rock Hill. This will prove a valuable convenience to the people of Fort Mill township, many of whom occasionally have business at ^Yorkville. and who, rather than devote two days to making the trip by rail, are compelled to drive through the country, a distance of 24 miles. KlrMt A. H. 1'renltytery. The First Associate Reformed Presbytery met at Unity, Lancaster county, on October 28 and 29. There were about forty delegates in attendance. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. J. H. Simpson, retiring moderator, and Rev. E. F. Griffith, of New Sterling, N. C., presided during the sessions. Student J. W. Simpson, of Rock Hill, preached a trial sermon that was acceptable. The report of the committee on the presbyterial schools, citing what had been done up to this time, was adopted. Ail vacancies, including Yorkville and Tirzah, asked for the moderation of calls. Their, requests were granted and referred to the superintendent of missions. There was no business of an unusual nature before the presbytery. The next meeting is to be held with Tabernacle congregation in Charlotte, with Rev. J. M. Bigham as moderator. TneKdny'K Election. Because the trouble and expense were ' far out of proportion to the interest j in the subject, The Enquirer has j made no special effort to get accurate ' information from last Tuesday's election in this county. A few figures in the congressional race have been collected, however, as follows: Bethel, 45; Newport, 37; Ogden, 23; Coates's i Tavern, 26; Hickory Grove, 38; Clover, i 57; Fort Mill, 58; Bethany, 34; York- < ville, 106. At Yorkville all of the votes i cast were for Finley except 1. That i was cast for White by the only Negro < voter who offered to vote. The indica- : tions are that the total vote of the county for congress is only about 600, and < that for state ana county unites ? < somewhat larger. The Yorkville vote < for state and county offices was 114. i The only contest was on the question of < the proposed constltutlonal'amendment 1 to destroy the corporate identity of cer- < tain townships as an expedient to avoid i payment of railroad bonds. The York- ] ville vote was 96 "Yes," and 10 "No." ' The indications are that the same pro- ' portion holds good throughout the 1 county. The vote will not be canvassed i by the commissioners of election until 1 next Tuesday. ' I Suit For ?20,000. John G. McKeown, administrator of the estate of John Wesley McKeown, deceased, has filed in the office of the clerk of the court a complaint against the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad company, in which he asks for $20,000 damages on account of the . killing of his father on the track of that J company on February 5, 1901. It will be remembered that Mr. McKeown started out from Yorkville on the night of the day mentioned, walking the railroad track, and was killed by a be- . lated freight train just after he got ' outside of the incorporate limits. The complaint in the action just commenced, charges the railroad company with wilful negligence in several particulars. It is admitted that the deceased was deaf and could not hear the approach of a * * *? 3 - ' -A train irom Denina; uui m iuc same muc It is set up that there was no headlight on the engine as there should have j been to warn the deceased off the 1 track. It is further set up that the ^ trainsmen, after knocking the deceased down, went on, wilfully and negligently leaving him to die of the cold and wet, whereas if they had returned and given him proper assistance, he would have recovered from his injuries. The plaintiff in the case is represented by , Wilson & Wilson, of Rock Hill, and , the defendant by B. L. Abney.^of Co- ; lumbia. vJ Death of Dr. Boyce. The Gastonia News reports the death of Rev.

He afterwards , became pastor also of Bethany in York county, and of the church at Gastonia, serving all the churches at the same i time. These were the only charges he ever had, and he held them for about forty years until he began to grow infirm and was compelled to cease active labor. For a number of years past he 1 has been preaching only occasionally, \ He was loved and esteemed by all three of his old charges, and was held in high regard by the people of Gastonia with whom he lived.

The ) darkened church was tastefully decora- , ted with a profusion of evergreens, . palms ana ierns, me euai ucm6 | heightened by the lavish use of snow white chrysanthemums and the soft ra- ' dience of the pink-shaded lamps. Just previous to the entrance of the bridal party, Mrs. J. H.

The attract- : ive bridesmaids wore pretty decollete costumes of white organdy with pink sashes and carried pink roses. The dames of honor, attired in pure white organdy, bore armfuls of pink and white chrysanthemums.
