Both pitchers were In good form, Sanders for Hagood striking out 10 men, allowing only 5 hits; and Chan? dler for WedgeAeld struck out nine and allowed six hits. The Hagood boys, though, gave Sanders a little better support, which told the tale. The rains of the past week have put new life in all growing crops and the prospect for a heavy yield Is Ane now.

B. White, is quite sick now. The health of our community is much improved. Mad Dogs. The thing that we have been dread? ing has happened. A dog went mad In this city yesterday and bit a, num? ber of other dogs. The dog that went mad yesterday was a valuable one. and a great pet of its owner. The owner said today that he would not have taken a thou? sand dollars for his dog, and he was sincere. This dog was doubtless bitten b) another dog months ago, and the hydrophobia developed only yester? day. And the other dogs that were bitten by this dog will go mad also In the course of time. They may go mad in a week or two, or the devel? opment of the disease may be de? layed for months. But they will go mad. If the city council had ordered all the dogs to be muzzled two months sgo, when the Daily Mail and the people were demanding it, this wouldn't have happened. It would have been so much better if the coun? cil had done the right thing at the right time. But even now, after some of the mischief has been done, council should have the dogs muzzled. In fact, as we see it, the council will be guilty of criminal negigence if it delays this matter another day.?Anderson Mail. West Point Examination. I will hold an examination of all applicants for appointment to the United States Military Academy, on Friday, August 7th., 9:30 a. m., at Colurubla, S. C.
