J SBowle in the country and on his way to town ho bit every dog that crossed his path. In town he went from place to place and semed to take a frenzied delight in bitting his way through. Several dogs were bitten and in the afternoon the dog was overtaken 2 by Messrs B. B. Gamble and Ed Windhami 1 In the yard of a celored man and shot to death. Many people are considerably alarmed, fearing that the dogs bitten will also go mad and that the children especially will be in danger. We know there are some parents in town who think the coun eli should provide means to stop dogs from running at large and we beleive poison will be scattered about to thin the canine tribe. As a warning to those who have valuable 3 dogs we would advise them to keep their dogs off the street. SOMTHING TO DEPEND ON. t Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son. Cowden.

The Headlight entered its Earnest rotest against the ntew and comapli ated pension latw introduced and I rotten through the legislature by Ma-V or Layton, of Spartanburg, and told he old soldiers that it would cotmpjli ate matters, and was much more oh- I ectionable than the old law. It is now i liscovered that our prediction was cor-t ect, and it would have been better tad Major Layton not attemputed to neddle with the m:atter at all. From be following, it will be seen that thet avton bill is as full of defects as an :gg is full of meat, atnd the whole hing is in a terrible tangle. It is not nown when the old veteratns will get heir pension money, and this is a - ery great hardship, as they need it cost to help them make their crops.t The following is the report of Comp roller -General Norton: "The new pension latw has had theK omptroller general seratching his< ead and wondering where the Statet >oard of pensions is at.

BEECHER'S WIDOW. Her Jealous Watch Over Her Dead Husband's Memory. Henry Ward Beecher was big en ough to bequeath occupation, repu tation, importance or notoriety to quite a number who, in his lifetime or after it, had, or said they had, the privilege of his confidence or com panionship and marked measure of influence with him. Their pleasur able role, of which others were not minded to be envious or criticle, was not let unchallenged by Mrs. Beecher. Their assertions were never admitted by her. Their claims were repelled and scorned by her. Her estimate of them showed a veritable jealousy of the idea that any- human being should divide with her, or should even reduce in any degree, her ex clusive prerogative as the heir, and as the interpreter of her husband's fame to the wvorld. In this wvas some times injustice, but it wvas pardoned to the pride and loyalty out of which it sprang. In it, also, however, was no small amount of historical pro tection to the memory and measure of the no~n, for Mr. Beecher was care Less, forgiving, unsuspicious, cred ulo'us and too easy in circumstances in which the reverse of those quali ties would have been better for his :omfort and for his unqualified use Fulness. His wife realized this while de was alive. Age and sorrow, after biis death, alike intensified and per verted that realization. In its inten sity and perversion she failed at :imes to discriminate betwveen the great men who served and saved her ausband, by aid of Providence and y their love of justice, when his owvn nistakes were the opportunity for 2is enemies, and the thrifty and un tbashable parasites who grew an him iving, and who to this day would ;row on him dead--or who would eek condonation or forgetfulness of heir real records of lippy and lying ~olubility concerning their assumed jevotion to him, and his assumed re lard of them. Mrs. Beecher's occasional injustice ts wveil as her general justice, in these ppraisals should be rated by its mo ive. The motive was an excuse, in onsiderate minds, for her wholesale 1css of speech and for her infirmities >f temper or want of perspective in undry estimates. It was an exeuse n such minds for her inaccuracies of udgment and for her uncharitable 1ess of viewv, for if her great bus >and's carelessness of appearances or >f consistencies put him on the de ensive in his hifetime, she was re olved that those whom he too read lv tolerated then should draw no ucrative capital of repute from his rror is not throwing them over, af er he was gone. In ten year~s Mrs. 3eecher made plain enough the dis inction between his p~eers and his >arasites, between those whao were vorthy of his considertion~ and thlose viho pr-acticed on his buoyant Be ~emianismi of s'pirit for their own a:iV. Tihe posthumous benetit to his aemxory thus wr-ought was not a lit le, and it was not unrequired. Hecr oving trust and mission wecre well .ecomlilshed before she died.
