Editor and Business manager TERMS. One Year 1.00 BIx months - - - 50c. IN ADVANCE. The Dog Law. We extend our hearty congratu lations to Hon. W. W. Dews, of Randolph county, for his untiring and recent successful efforts in hav ing passed in the house of repre sentatives a bill for taxing of dogs At each convening of the gener al assembly for quite a number of yoars a law of this kind has been earnestly advocated but for some almost unexplainable reason has each time boen defeated. Tne on- lyclause that we do not unrcserva- bly commend is the'one that reads thus: “Thatthis bill shall not be come operative in any county ex cept upon recommendation of the grand jury of the .county there of." The intentions of this law are ex eellent from several points of view—not only does it exterminate a superfluous crowd of curs and flop-eared hounds, thereby reliev ing sheep of their arch-enemy and the hen nests and slop pails of their most frequent destroyers but from a financial and economic point it is sound since the bill pro- vides that the revenue accruing from said tax shall go the puhlic echool fund of the respective coun ties. ; We think no man should object to puying a slight tribute on the ^respectable of his canine family. Space forbids our giving the pro Hbions of the bill in full but it .Marts off after this'fashion: A bill Sj&»beentitled, an act to levy a tax :<Of! dogs, to provide for the collec- of said tax. the killing of clegs in default of the payment of the , and for other purposes, ition 1. Be it enacted, ect. from and after the passage f this act, each person, firm or cor Ation owning or keeping a dog II pay an annual tax of $1 Tor male and $1.50 for each fe ta dog owned or kept which wus >Qr months old or over on the i st iy of January of the year in which tax is to be paid, etc., etc. bill has not gone to the Sen yet but we predict for it smooth ililig before that body.

Holleman charging Tench C. Huu- singer with disorderly conduct, al so betore W O. White,Magistrate, for malicious trespass in breaking lamps. On Monday morning war rants were taken for Bob Williams, a young negro man who werks for Hunsinger, for the same of fenses, 1 he cases against them were called for trial Tuesday morn ing at 11 o’clock before Mayor Holleman. The defendant Hun- singer moved for a ^continuance on the ground of the absence of a mateiial witness. The motion was granted and the trial of both cases before the Town Council was fixed for Saturday morning next at 10 o’cIock. A Warrant Was also sworn out for T. C. Hunsinger charging him with riot on the morning of September 2d. when the lamps were broken the first time. The preliminary examinations in the state cases before Magistrate White will be held this week. As these cases are all to be tried in the fu- tore we forbear making any com ment on the testimony. The pat ties charged with these heinous of fenses are entitled to a fair trial. The time has come, however, for putting a stop to this mode of cul tivating bravery, and the guilty par ties whoever they may be. should bo punished to the full extent of the law.

From the Constitution, The wide-awaxe and ever alert city license inspector was at the police matinee arid he aimed his legal arrow at a confederate veter an . R. M. Mann, who had fought in the confederate army and who had a free license to peddle, was arrested by the inspector on the .clilirge-ot doing business without a license. ‘‘Mr. Mann has a veteran’s free license,” said the inspector, “but I found him with a wagon selling chickens, eggs and lie had a man helping him. While I10 walked down one side of the street the helper walked down on the oppo site side, both getting customers for the same wagon. I don't thinx Mr. Mann can sell that way with out having another license.” * I disagree with you wholly and most completely,” replied the re corder “and I dismiss the case. The supreme court has recently de cided that a veteran can sell in any and assorts of ways, and 1 am heartily glad of it.” All the owners of valuable dogs around Clayton say they will pay theiax|of $1.00 willingly. This law if ratified by the Grund Jury will swell the school fund no doubt several thousand dollars in the county. We spent about five min utes taking the dog census in town and we found even sixty in this short time, and Mr. M. L. Shirley came to town at the time and he re ported, in his immediate neighbor hood, 20 dogs. There is much excitement in the Legislature just now over the Will ingham temperance bill. There are friends on both sides and the fight promises to be u lively one.
