DOG QUESTION FOR CAMPAIGN MR.. COVINGTON AGAIN EX PRESSES VIEWS Says That Governor Ansel Paid No attention to His Sug gestions Mr. Editor:-Last week a mad clog bit tour children in one fami ly, in our sister statt1, Georgia. And these little ones are in Atlan ta, taking thc Pasteur treatment. Listen again: nine white children and a colored nurse were bitten since then in Greenville, S. 0. lt appears to nie that something should be clone to prevent such fre quent and awful occurences. For if is plain to any sane mind, if something is not done with the dog's they will do something with the people. 1 cut my wisdom teeth more than a year ago on the dog question. When I had to un dergo a like trouble thai the par ents of these children are now passing through. I can't think about it yet, without having to pull oil' my coat and cool. dust here pardon me for a per sonal allusions. When our legis lature was in session I wrote Gov. Ansel, a reasonable request that he recomend to the legislature to pass a dos; law, that would be more protection to the people. I pointed out to him that compul sory taxation would put a lot of money in thc treasury that is not collected under thc present sys tem. That is to say make the owners of untaxed dog's dig down in their pockets and pay thc tax. or dig on thc roads and pay these lines. Such a law would raise more money or raise more stench. Hut and keep a butting, thc Gov. seemed to be so intent on raising .he tax on our homes and nccesi ties of life, that he treated my humble, request to thc tune of sweet indifference. I am not com plaining, though, just stating a fact that can be veri tied by ref Cl ing to bis last message to the gen eral assembly. Dear reader arc you willing to have your taxes raised on your homes and thc necessities ot life? when there is more than a hun dred thousand worthless untaxed doti's running over our state. I am not, and it'you are, don't all speak at once. Just as long as the Gov. is at their back and the leg islature is on their side they will continue to generate hydrophobia ami lower there tails at half mast, and spread trouble an 1 consterna tion in the land. A dog that appeared to be mad. passed in dangerous proximity to my children, only a lew days since, and 1 fiad that it was fortu nate that none ol' them were bit ten. A vicious dog attacked my neighbor Mr. ,1 T Hubbard, last week and tore his pants. Tho dog was not at home "just prowling a round" he was not mad but Mr. Hubbard was 1 am sure. There arc more dogs in this section than I have seen in years; and by the time all thc puppies get grown I will be scared to plough in my own held, with a razor in my pocket, and a pistol in each boot leg. It bas been said that the pen is mightier than the sword. 1 don't 1 think the saying holds good, when it comes to exterminating dogs. I . have been using thc pen some without any visible results for thc better. So 1 feel like putting down thc pen and trying thc I sword, I would have something then that would bring fetch. I rea lise thc fact that people will get i attached to dogs, I used to like them myself a plenty, but thc ' day my little Louelle, left for At lanta, my love and affection for them left, also for parts unknown, and 1 would not care much if thc Devil wanted the last one of them and I was able to deliver the goods. I may be called a crank for the ' position I have taken in this mat er, but if crank 1 be, I feel that I am turning for the best intcwsSi; of thc country, and if any moon lives aro sacrificed on these betbrffc I egged cusses their blood will bc urn some one else and not on me. In conclusion, soon candiddbai; will begin to tread the political winepress, asking for the suppoo? of tho people. I hope they vri?f? give thc dog question their bari* attention. I want to sec Marlboro send a solid delegation to Coluisfe bia, that will be willing to seatt?rr dog hair from Oconce's, hoigth to Winyaw bay. So I can enjoy rare, and real luxury of s mo 11 i rig; the odor of dead dogs, so strotijf; that it would cut tho hair in r.yy nose, J. h. Covington. Clio, S. C. li. F. 1).
