AS TO SERVICE OF JURORS.
Law Has Been Changed?Fines Will
be Made for Non-Service.
The recent general assembly made
some changes in the law compelling
Jurors to serve when they are drawn.
Here is what the new law In part
says:
"That If any Juror duly summoned
shall neglect or refuse to appear In
obedience to any venire issued by any
police or municipal or magistrate
court and shall not within 48 hours
render to the recorder or magistrate
holding such police or magistrate
court and issuing the venire, a suffi?
cient reason for his delinquency, he
shall forfeit and pay a fine of $10,
and upon failure to pay he fine
he shall be Judged In contempt and
shall be punished, provided no per?
son shall be required to serve on a
Jury in said courts oftener than once
each month of the year."
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.

COUNTY COURT DEFEATED.
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.

BITTEN BY MAD DOG.
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.
