DEAD DOGS IN GREENWOOD A Sight that Would Have Pleased Mr Covington. Arthur Thompson, Esq. a well known lawyer of Edtfofield, passed through tho etty today on his way homo from Greenwood, ?where ho has boen at court for several days. Ile relates a remarkable instance of ''hydrophobia fright*' which goes to show that '"LittleOld New York" is not thc only town on thc map that is afraid of the terrible disease. "A few days ago," he said, "'somebody's dog went mad, and bit more than a score of other dogs in Greenwood before his mad ca reer was brought in to an abrupt termination. When thc news went abroad, people grew uneasy, and sc voi al dog-owners voluntarily killed their pets. "'There is a city ordinance in Greenwood that requires police men to shoot at ?ight all loose dogs that wear no muzzle. Thc town marshal is game to thc core, and when thc 'mad dog scare' took hold on thc people, he received or ders, to rigidly enforce thc ?aw, without fear or favor. "Well, thc result was what might have been expected. The marshal simply loaded up for dogs and shot every one he saw with out a muzzle? Ile didn't stop to ar gue the matter at all. Ile slew without respect for persons. And they hauled out dead dogs by wa gon loads. It was the lirst time 1 have ever seen so many dead dogs in one heap. Many owners of line dogs remonstrated but it was no use. The war of extermination went on anet Greenwood is minus several dozen dogs, both desirable and undesirable."-Augusta Her ald.

Judge Aldrich Starts Out to Mai Aiken as Good as Marlboro. Aiken. June 12,-J. C. Richard son and M. C. Todd, respectable looking, well dressed white men in thc prime of lite, were sentenced to serve six months each on thc Aiken county chuingaug todfty without tho alternative of paying lines for having violated thc dis* p ihsary law. 4 Both men had entered pleas of guilty tut, notwithstanding the fact, Judge Robert Andrieh gare thom thc limit, and in pronouncing sentence, expressed regret that tba. law does not permit him to givr* heavier sentences to men of their stripe. He said until the law makers increase the penalty for violation of this law it will nat bc j possible to secure its proper eti I forcement. These men formerly ?operated in the blind tiger busi ness in Augusta but thc he**jr sentences recently imposed fat violations of the prohibition law by Judge Hammond caused tlieat men to cross thc Savannah ritrer and ply their nefarious illicit tirade in South Carolina. They stood up in the court oC general sessions and entered pleas of guilty, doubtless feeling t?iat, they would get off with mild fines which either of them, it woul?*?i* pear, could easily pay. But thap reckoned without their host audit is doubtful if they would haveanj? desire to face Judge A'driek. again.
