BUT THAT WAS AT THE CLOSE
OF THE WAR
Old Copy of the New York Her
ald Which Contains Inter
esting Reading
Mr. I) N Fowler showed to the
reporter the other day a copy ol'
tho New York I lorain1 of tho date
April 16th, ISG?. The copy belongs
to Mr. Fowler's mother and they
found it tho other day in tho bouse.
Lt is interesting and several looked
at thc articles with interest.
The edition tells of tho death wi'
President Abraham Lincoln, lie
had boen shot thc (?.vening before
at tho theatre and at tho tillie ol
thc publishing of the paper the
identity of thc assassin was un
known. Probably il should be
mentioned that the paper w as an
extra.
The paper is four pages, six
columns wide, the width of a
column being considerably more
than the paper of today. In fact
the paye ol' the New York Herald
of tho dale of l<St>o was as wide as
the common eight column paper
today. On the front page is a pic
ture of President Lincoln and
throe big heads. The li rsl head
tells of thc assassination of the pro.1
dent, thc wounding of Secretary
Seward, and thc other incidents ol'
the time familiar to every student
of history. Thc next big head tells
of thc death of the president and
thc hunting of thc assassins. Thc
third big head tells of the procla
mation of President Davis. It will
bc remembered that Richmond bad
been evacuated by tho (Jon feder
ates and Davis and his cabinet had
reached Danville in safety. Davis
was encouraging his men and
promising to hold Virginia at all
hazards. Ile said that he thought
tho fall ol' Richmond was a bless
ing in disguise, lt quotes a procla
mation of President Davis in full.
On the second page is an editori
al on the assassination and tho sum
ming up of the siturtion. On thc
third page aro medicine advertise
ments. On thc last page are three
big hoads, tho first telling ol' the
surrender of Lee at Appomatox,
and tho movements ol' Sherman's
army, and thc third telling ol' thc
meeting of the cabinet and tin; con
sideration of allai rs in thc southern
states. This is particularly impor
tant as 1 browing light on the
events which carno lalor.
On tho front pago is given the
Now ( Irleans markets. Cotton was
quoted at '12 cents per pound, and
Hour at $0 per barrel. In another
place is given an account ol'airain
overstocked with shad which sold
at fra) per pair.

and about the time of the surren

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,
