STATE DOG LICENSE LAW IS EFFECTIVE NEXT YEAR "Don’t Be Like Me Miss Kittle Parker pf Williston, a first year poultry club member, writes of the benefits that have been derived from irer work in t}ie poultry, club as follows: - -~ f „ “I joined the Poultry club for 1919 in February, and as it was to be my first year in thp work I was anxious to make it a most successful one. “I bought three settings (45 eggs) of Rhode Island eggs, and these hatch- oil .39 little chicks. Fifteen of these died during the summer, leaving 24. I sent my best pair to the county ex hibit held September 5, and they won for me a free trip to the state short eourse for 1920. I sold 11.fowls for $19.25, and the remaining 13 have sUp- New Statute Causes confusion—Viola- ^ tiona Punishable by Fines. The new statewide dog license act as an instrument of confusion and misinterpretation gtapds second only to the pension act, both passed by the recent general assembly. . The dog tax law, levying $1.25 on each dog, becomes effective January ly 1921. Acting under the presump tion that this was now in force,' county treasurers are reported to be already procuring a supply of 1920 license tags. Information to this effect has been received at the office of Compr troller General Osborne. Another angle of interest is that municipalities are seemingly not pro hibited from laying an additional license under this act. The language plied eggs for home use and some for! of the statute is: “This (statewide) market since the middle of November. My net profit was M I have gained much from my year's >rk besides money.

M. , Riley, merchant and planter of Brighton, and a former member of the House of Represen tatives from Hampton!county, will be a candidate for Congress in the pri maries this summer in opposition to Congressman James F. Byrnes is the report in Hampton. It is stated by several that Mr. Riley made the pub lic statement last wpdt that he Would be in the race for Congress from the second congressional district. Noth- ing has been learned directly from Mr* Riley as to his proposed candidacy for Congress, but the- rumors here have come from reliable sources. If the rumor is correct that Mr. Riley is to be in the race for Congress this summer he is probably the only op ponent that Congressman Byrnes will I have to battle with thia year.—Allen ! dale County Ciliaeu.

It was stated in the daily newspapers Thursday morning that Governor Cooper had on Wed nesday received a petition from resi dents of that portion of Barnwell county asking for an election on the question of annexing 37.92 square miles of territory to Bamberg County. The area includes all of the town of Blackville. The surprise in Bamberg waa oc- cftsioned by the fact that R waa not generally known here that the plan to annex to Bamberg had been resurrect ed. Such a plan was ea feed last year, when a survey was made. and petitions drafted fee stgaoturao. Aa ■aasherg rtlftaaua amt vtta tha Rlaehvttts peupAe one atghA aeurff a * ese* •*■* a.'
