DEGREASE IN
THE NUMBER Of
LOWNDES DOGS
Various Reasons are As
signed for Falling off
AUTOMOBILES ARE RESPONSI
BLE FOR DEAtH OF MANY,
WHILE THE “BLACK TONGUE”
GOT OTHERS.
(From Thursday’s Dally)
It may not be generally known,
ibut it is a fact nevertheless, that
something played havoc wi|th the
•dogs of Lowndes county during the
past year, according to the
books.
As is very well known, every dog
hue his day. 'iaey have managed
to avoid paying from time immem
orial until a “progressive" legisla
ture, after failing to catclr a real
octopus, put a tax on the poor man’s
dog. Whether this tax was more
than the poor creatures coulr stand
13 open for conjecture. The fact re
mains, however, that there has been
a wonderful decrease in the number
"«f dogs in Lowndes county during the
past year. The tax books a year
ago showed (hat there were 1,592
dogs—mostly “dam dogs’’—while
this year the figures have shrunk
to 896, or just a little over half of
what jthey were.
There' are various reasons assign
ed for this shrinkage In the number
of dogs. Many of the former own
ers declare that the “black tongue”
broke out among the dogs and kill
ed many of them. Other dog own
ers declare that ,the automobiles
have killed most all their dogs, while
some others state that they did
not consider the dog worth the
amount of the tax, so they let
them die or gave them away.
At any rate, In the absence of
something more Interesting to write
a bout, The Times only chronicles
the fact tha,t the dog population Is
about the only thing short about
Valdosta this year and we are dis-
EXPERTS WATCH THE CARS.
Two Accidents Occurred Yesterday
as Result of “Watching.”
) Savannah, July 27.—The experts
who are here looking ever the plant
and property or ,the Savannah Elec
tric Company with a view to testi
fying In the hearing to be held be
fore the railroad commission
August 8, are keeping busy. They
visited the power plant of the com
pany yesterday and spent some time
there.
The cars are beginning to act bad
ly since they gof, under the eye of
experts. There were three mlshanu
yeslorday on the service that at
tracted a great deal of attention.
In one of them the trolley wire fell
for more than a block, and getting
across the platform of a car, forced
the motorraan to retreat to the in
terior. The car ran along under its
rwn momentum until it struck an
other, when there was a slight col
lision.
Two young ladies who Jumped out
of the car were slightly hur.t
On West Broad street a citizen’i
buggy was run down, and near the
market a parcel car Jumped thd
sv/Itch and went scooting across the
paving brick. Nobody was hurt.
There Is great Interest in the
coming investigation.
