FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28.
The Amendments.
In the general election the voters
will be called on to vote upon four
constitutional amendments, and un
der the opinion of the attorney gen
eral four separate boxes are to be
provided so that each amendemnt is
voted upon in a separate box.
We notice the comptroller general
has had something to say about the
need of providing a special form for the
election notice on account of the length
of the notice prepared this year. The
law now provides that the secretary
of state shall prescribe the form oL
the notice and this he has done. He
has' copied the amendments to be
voted upon and in this he is correct.
Otherwise how would the voter be
informed as to the nature of the
amendment. The tickets do not give
the information and we venture to
say that very few of the voters know
anything about the nature of the
amendments except possibly the one
providing for biennial sessions..
Small economists, who want to
economize on the other fellow al
ways, we presume think the newspa
per should furnish this information
without pay. It has always been
strange to us that so many people
want to cut off every 3ource of rev
enue from the newspap.r, when as a
matter of fact the newspapers do
more free work than any other class.
It may be because they do so much
public service that it is thought they
should do it all free.
Let us see what the amendments
are. The first one, as to biennial
sessions reads as follows on the
ticket:
Constitutional Amendment to Section
9, of Article III., of the State
Constitution.
Adding after the word "place." in
line ten of -said Section. the words,
"until the end of the session occur
ring in i9o6. after which the said ses
sions shall be held at the same time
and place bi-ennially."
If you favor bi-ennial sessi3ns you
vote the ticket marked "yes." If you
\oppose bi-ennial sessions vote the
* ticket with "no"~ on it. The ticket
in this case explains the nature of
the amendment.
Another ticket reads as follows:
Constitutional Amendment.
Of section seven, of article eight,
of the Constitution. relating to mu
nicipal corporations and police reg
ulations.
How many voters would know
what they were voting with the in
formation contained on this ticket,
and how many of them have a copy
of the constitution to hunt it up?
How are they to be informed ex
cept through the published notice or
dering the election?
Under section seven of article
eight of the constitution "no city or
town in this state shall hereafter in
cur any bonded debt, which, including
existing bonded indebtedness shall
exceed eight per centum of the as
- sessed value of the taxable property
therein." If you vote yes on this
amendment you vote "that the limita
tions imposed by this section and
* by section 5, article ten of this con
stitution shall not apply to bonded
indebtedness incurred by the city of
Greenville, but said city of Green
ville may increase its bonded indebt
edness in the manner provided in said
rection of said article to an amount
not exceedng fifteen per cent. of the
taxable property therein, where the
proceeds of said bonds are applied
solely to the payment of past indebt
edness." In other words it applies
- only to the city of Greenville and
permits this city to issue bonds for
past indebtedness, said bonded in
debtedness not to exceed fifteen per
cent. of the taxahle property in said
city. It affects only the city of
Greenvi lie.

and Subd vision TX.. of Sectio n 34.
of Article *III.. of the Constitution
Section 34, subdivision 3, is as fo1- si
ows: of
"To lay out, open, alter or work n(
-oads or highways." is
Subdivision 9 reads: ef
"To provide for the age at which m
:itizens shall be subject to road or re
-ther public duty." til
Section 34 provides that no local I
>r special law shall be enacted as to h,
:hese two things. In other words w
my law on these subjects must ap- n
)ly to every county in the state. If b
ou vote yes you repeal these two sf
;ections or subdivisions. If you do n<
:hen you should vote yes on the fol- a
owing amendment. And if you ar
ote no on this then you should vote
>n the following: ti<
krticle of Amendments to the th
Constitution. I
Section i. The General Assembly it
)f this state may enact local or bt
pecial laws concerning the laying sr
>ut. opening, altering or working m
-oads or highways. and concerning re
:he providing for the age at which as
:itizens shall be subject to road duty, su
nd concerning drainage. it:
These two amendments should be
dopted. because our state is so sit- fi(
iated that a road law which suits one in
;ection does not suit another. We he
iad a time on the question of the th
:ommutation tax, some counties gz
vanting a one dollar tax and others R.
:wo dollars. The last session of the H
egislature gave to the county com- st
nissioners power to fix the amount. or
f these two amendments are adopt- sa
d then the legislature will have au- ti<
:hority to enact such road laws as
vill suit each county.
Animal Telepathy.
ew York American.
H. Rider Haggard. author of "She"
ind other novels that treat of the S
>order line between the known and C
:he unknown, writes to the London
& F
imes a serious account of his re- L
:eiving a telepathic message from his
ID E
iog. either at the moment of the an
mal's death or several hours after. C
The novelist writes: C
"On the night of Saturday, July 9, E
[ dreamed that a black retriever dog.
i most amicable and intelligent beast w
iamed Bob, which was the property p1
>f my oldest daughter, was lying on ti
ts side among brushwood or a rough
rowth of some sort by the water.
Mfy own personality in some myster- c
ous way seemed to me to be arising
~rom the body of the dog. which I
knew quite surely to be Bob and noC
ther, so much so that my head wasC
mgainst its head. which was lifted up ai
it an unnatural angle. In my vision
:he dog was trying to speak to me in p
woNds, and, failing, transimtted to m
nfy mind in an undefined fashion the P
<nowledge that it was dying.
"Then everything vanished and I
iwoke to hear my wife's asking:
why on earth I was making those
korrible. wierd noises. I told herG
bout the fearful struggle and that I
reamed old Bob was in a dreadful
~vay and was trying to talk to me and
ell me about it."I
On Thursday, the 14th. the body
:he dog was found floating in Way
mey, more than a mile away, and on
'riday two plate layers informed Mr.
[Iaggard that the dog had been killed
by a train. Bob's collar-bone
which had been broken and
:orn off, was produced, and on Mon-j
iy afternoon one of the men saw
he body of the dog floating in the
ater beneath an openwork bridge.
ver the river, whence it drifted down
vhere it was found. Carefully
voighing the evidence. Mr. Haggard
oncludes that the dog must have
yeen killed by an empty train from
-arlesdon a little after ii o'clock on5
;turday night, as no trains run on
sunday, and that it is practically cer
.ain it could not have been killed
n Monday. Mr. Haggard therefore L
onfesses himself forced to the fob- P
owing conclusions: N
"The dog Bob, between whom and 1
u vsef there exist ed a mutual at.. G
achment. either a: the mo'ment of IK
ViS death, if his existen1ce can enn- i

d by sleep into its own terrile po
!ep was being broken by the voice
my wife calling me back to the
>rmal conditions of our human ex
:ence, making some last despairing
Eort, while that indefinable part of
e was being withdrawn from it. I
cognized further. that if its dissolu
)f took place at the moment when
dreamed this communication must
Lve been a form of that telepathy
hich is now very generally ack
wledged to occur between human
ings from time to time. and under
ecial circumstances, but which I
ver heard of as occurring between
human being and one of the lower
imals.
"If, on the other hand, that dissolus
n happened, as I believe, more
an three hours previously, what am
to say? Then it would seem that
must have been some non-bodily
it surviving part of life or of the
irit of the dog which as soon as
y deep sleep gave it an opportunity
produced these things in my mind
they had already occurred, I pre
me to advise me of the manner of
; end or to bid me farewell."
Appended to the letter are certi
:ates by a veterinary surgeon who
spected the body of the dog, which
says must have been in the water
