SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. Annual Competitive Drill and De? claimers' Contest Last Night. The annual commencement of the city schools opened last night with the competitive drill by a picked squad selected from the school bat? talion and the annual declaimers' contest participated in by the boys of the tenth grade. Nineteen boys took part in the prize drill and their proficiency in the manual was commented on and com? plimented by all. The medal was finally won by Robert Brown after a close contest. The medal was pre? sented by MaJ. Marion Molse, of the city board of education. The declaimers* contest probably excited more interest than the other features of the programme. Six boys spoke and all of them acquitted them? selves with credit. The name of the winner will, not be announced until tonight. The judges were Messrs. R. O. Purdy, L. D. Jennings and R. L.

Vote In Town and Country Over? whelmingly Against It. Returns from the county court election held yesterday are Incom? plete, but there is no doubt about how the election went. It was all one way and that was against the county court. The vote was comparatively light, both in the city and county, but the vote against the court seems to have been about ten against to one for It. The largest vote for the court report? ed was that In Wadr 2, which was 32 for a d 92 against the court. Ward 3 was 4 for and 26 against; Wedge? fleld was 0 for, 17 against; Mayesvllle was 1 for and 31 against the court. Hence there Is no room to doubt how the people stand on the proposition. Dr. W. M. Burney, state chemist, has examined a specimen of "Acme Brew," made by the Acme Brewing company of Macon and he finds that It contains 4 per cent, alcohol. The sample came from Abbeville county. Dr. Burner examined "Rod Buckle Ale," | sample from Williams burg county, and it was found to con? tain 4.T.0 per cent alcohol. "Hill's Dyspepsia made only by New York Drug concern," was found to con? tain 22.10 per cent. glcohol. The sample came from Darlington county. STRAY DOGS A MENACE. Dr. Keirle, of Pasteur Institute, Says the Situation is Worst in Several Years?Advises a General Round Up. Baltimore Sun. With three separate outbreaks of rabies in the last few weeks Dr. N. G. Keirle, head of the Pasteur Institute at the City Hospital, characterizes the situation as the worst in several years, probably since 1896, when a big dog ran across the Annex and bit eight boys, four of whom died. While not intending to excite alarm Dr. Keirle advocates a systematic search, at night, for stray dogs who have been exposed to attacks from rabid animals. He says it would be a good plan to have a number of wagons start at the four corners of the city and work toward the center, picking up every dog found wander? ing about. The healthy and dis? eased ones could be separated at the dog shelter and disposed of as is thought best. The three spurts of rabies have appeared in as many parts of the town. There have been two deaths, Frank Bowles, son of Capt Wesley W. Rowles, 906 Battery avenue, died March 15, Jacob Sagovitch, 9 years old, died a few days previously. They had been attacked by the same dog that ran from Southwest to South Baltimore, then back up town, and was killed in the Northwestern sec? tion. Eight persons in all were bit? ten. Dr. Keirle, while not pretending to Interfere with the authorities in charge of the work of picking up stray dogs, advises special work at night, when round-ups can be ef? fected. Ten persons in the city are undergoing Pasteur treatment. This has been about the average for sever? al weeks, showing a serious situation. Most of the persons cannot afford to pay for treatment, but they are given the same care as those who pay. While Dr. Keirle is advancing ideas about ridding the town of dogs, the city is reaping an unusual harvest for licenses. The revenue so far this year is about $30,000, and it promises to surpass any previous year. Up to closing time yesterday there had been issued at the office of Mr. J. Spencer Clarke, collector of water rents and licenses, 19,300 dog tags. About half ' are renewals. For new licenses the fee is $2, while renewals cost $1. By the end of the week, with the police crusade now being carried on, the figure will be at least 20.000. Of the I sum received the Society for the Pre? vention of Cruelty to Animals will get $8,000. On the question of muzzles Dr. Keirle declared he would rather not express an opinion. He declared, however, that every owner should be required to keep his dog on his own premises or have it in leash when on the street. He does not think that muzzling will prevent rabies. No such regulation prevails in the su? burbs or counties, and from them, he believes, come the spurts of the disease that are prevalent now. He does not take a stand as to the or? dinance, but he does want a clean? up of stray dogs. Are you tired, fagged out. nervous, sleepless, feel mean?

Frank Richardson Attacked by His Own Dog. Frank Richardson, colored, who lives near Green Swamp, was attack? ed and seriously bitten Saturday by his own dog. The dog had been morose for several days, but there was up to that time no reason to sus? pect that it had hydrophobia. The attack was made on Richardson with? out warning and one arm just above the wrist was severely lacerated. The actions of the dog indicated that it had rabies and it was killed. Rich? ardson left this morning for the Pas? teur Institute in Atlanta for treat? ment, a public subscription having been raised to pay his expenses. Three dogs were killed In the city yesterday and another this morning, all apparently mad. It is reported that a number of other dogs were bit? ten by these dogs.

CONVICT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. W. D. Shaw, White Man Sent to Roads for Shooting His Wife, Tries to Kill Himself. The following item Is from a Rocky Mount, N. C, paper of recent i date: v W. D. Shaw, a white convict on the road gang, attempted suicide Monday afternoon just beyond the Falls, where the road force vere at work. Shaw used an axe as a means for his self-destruction and with it chopped his wrist and hand in three places, the purpose being to sever the artery and bleed to death. He was brought to the city where medical attention was given and his life saved. His reason for attempting his own life was that he could not stand the work. He alleges, also, that he was cruelly beaten by the guards when he refused to work beyond endurance. Shaw was sentenced at the last term of Nash court to two years on the roads for shooting his wife one nght last winter, when they were In their room.
