-1 AL OK TWO SCORES.
TH dog law passed at the lasi
sessin of the legislature with a
view of substantially increasing
thepommon school fund of the
etai will in all probability nover
go into effect in Georgia in its
prVeut shape. Acting on the un
offlial opinion of Attorney Gon
er! Terrell, the ordinaries of a
umber of counties have heid that
tlj law' will not be effective until
JLua-y 1, 1901, and by that time
th legislature will have couveued j
Jain and had an opportunity to j
1 rrect the errors in the measure !
jid attempt to make itconstitu-j
tonal where it is now regarded as
incoustitutirnal-
I Estimates as to the amount of
lnoney the application of the dog
flaw would bring to the common
I school fund of the state vary from
$75,000 to $200,000, the latter es
timate being based upon the prac
tical results of a similar statute
in the state of Tennessee. That
the common schools of Georgia
should be deprived of this addi
tional income by reason of mis
takes in the bill which passed the
legislature, inadvertent though
the errors are said to have been,
is discouraging to a great many
friends of the common school
system, who have worked for the
passage of the dog law for a num
ber of years.
The importance of the dog law
is much greater than is suggested
by its name, but in spite of this
fact the ordinaries in the different
counties who have consulted with
the solicitor general of their cir
cuit and obtained other legal ad
vice have decided to take no
chances, and probably without,
exception will give the legislature
another chance to improve the
bill.
A great many people who have
studied the question have express
ed the opinion that it is unconsti
tutional at least on two scores,
and that it would never be upheld
by a court of law. In section
5388 of the code, which is a part
of the constitution, the legislature
is given special authority to tax
such domestic animals as are
from nature and habit destructive
of other property. Dtgs come
under the head of domestic ani
mals, hut all dogs are not consid
ered either by nature or habit de
structive of other property. In
fact, it is said that the more do
mesticated dogs become, the less
destructive they are of anything.
On this point Attorney General
Terrell expressed the opinion that
the legislature would in all prob
ability consider an amendment to
the law that will exempt those
dogs that are exempted by the
constitution. The common schools
of the state have no more enthu
siastic- friend than the attorney
general, and he has rendered no
opinion on the dog law except
where pressed to do so in an un
official way by different ordinaries
in the Btate.
The question whether or not a
dog is regarded in the eyes of the
law as property is by far the most
important one in considering the
constitutionality of the dog law.
It is understood that more than
one superior court in the stato has
ruled that the dog does not come
under the head of property, and
it is also understood that the su
preme court has never passed di
rectly on the question. Should
the court find that such animals
constitute property, the dog law
is plainly at issue with the con
stitution of the state. In section
5388 of the code it is provided
that all taxation on every class of
property shall be uniform and ad
valorem, and if one dog is worth
more than another—and it is gen
erally conceded that there are
dogs and dogs—then the legisla
ture will find no justification in
the constitution for taxing all
male dogs at $1 and all female
dogs at $1.50 a head. In a recent
case appealed from one of the
lower circuits in the state the
supreme court held when a person
had taken a dog belonging to
one of his neighbors that he
had by that act been guilty of
larceny. This is not taken to be
a ruling, however, that a dog is
property, although it is urged by
some on the other hand that the
taking of that which is not prop
erty does not constitute larceny.
Among other objections raised
to the immediate operation of the
dog law by officials of the Btate is
the conflict which occurs in sec
tions 7 and 8, in the first of which
it is provided that the constables
in each militia district shall im-
I pound such dogs as have no collar
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA,THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15,1900.
during the month of March. In
section 8 the time for impounding
is extended thirty days and in
cludes both March and April.
The conflicting sections which the
legislature will be called upon to
remedy are as follows:
“Sec 7. Be it further enacted,
That it shall be the duty of the
constables in each militia district
during the month of March of
each year to catch and impouud
at his residence every dog in his
district, which has no collar, as
above provided, and immediately
notify the owner, it known, aud
shall keep said dog for forly-eight
hours, during which time the
owner or keeper thereof may reg
ister said dog on condition that
he Will make affidavit before the
urdinarvthat he was providentially
prevented • from registering said
dog prior to March Ist of that
year, and shall then register and
pav the tax on said dog as re
quired by law, or shall simply
register him or her, and pay for
check and fees, if the dog was un
der four months old on January
Ist immediately preceding. The
party shall also pay the ordinary
25 cents for said affidavit, and to
the officer impounding 50 cents
for his fee; but in the event the
tax aud fees are not paid as above,
the impounding officer, after the
dog has been impounded forty
eight hours, shall kill him or her.
“Sec. 8. Be it further enacted,
That it shall be the duty of each
of the aforesaid constables, during
the months of March and April of
each year, to kill without im
pounding, every dog in his district,
which has not been registered as
above required, for which service
he shall receive 25 cents for each
dog killed.’’
The following advice to sheep
raisers in the state to abstain from
extensive sheep raising until the
criticisms he indulges in are no
longer applicable to the dog law
has been received from a middle
Georgia farmer:
“Editor Constitution —ls you
are a philanthropist you will ad
vise the Rev. Zed Gardner, of
Spalding county, and other Geor
gians who are preparing to engage
in sheep raising as a principal
business, under the protection of
the present dog law, to go slow,
For all of the grand juries and
constables in the state can’t make
the dog law a lawful law unless
the courts are as ignorant of law
as the legislature that attempted
to make it law.
“The legislature assumed that
dogs were property, private prop
erty, of value to the owners, when
it imposed a tax upon ‘dogs,’ and
the assumption was that they
were of great value to their own
ers by the tax rate put upon them.
“The most iusignificant flee
under the law is valued at nearly
SIOO, and the owner and tax as
sessor have nothing to do with
the valuation.
“Anri the bailiffs are made the
sole judges, juries and execution
ers and paid a fee for every decis
ion they make against the tax
payer or owner of a dog, aud the
destruction of about SIOO worth
of his-private property (so valued
by the legislature) as a penalty
for delinquency in paying $1 tax,
a crime for which he has never
been convicted except by a con
stable, aud without a trial. A
constable who gets a fee if he con
victs and destroys the property
upon which the tax was assessed,
and nothing if he don’t.
“Aud the man whose property
is destroyed gets no compensa
tion.

fundamental and supreme laws
expressly and explicitly declare
that no person shall be punished
for any acts or delinquences till
he is accused and convicted in the
courts of the country, after a
fair trial, by an impartial jury,
none of which uor the judges have
any pecuniary interest in the case,
and the same supreme laws sa.v
that no private property shall be
taken for public use without just
compensation to the owner, paid
before his property is taken. And
no private property shall be de
stroyed without the conseut of
the owner for the pleasure or ben
efit of any private person or the
public until it is legally and for
mally condemned as a nuisance,
aftei proof of public detriment.
“Then, if dogs are not property,
they cannot 1 e taxed.
“If they are property, they can
not be taxed to death, or confisca
ted.
“They cannot be takeu from the
owner for the public good without
just compensation if they are
property, and the just compensa
tion could not be leas than the
value of the dogs, and their value
could not be less than the value
fixed by the legislature for taxa
tion, aud the dogs could not be
destroyed as a nuisance till they
are first tried and condemned as
such, which would require a jury
trial for each dog for what he has
done that is detrimental to the
public, not for what other dogs
have done, nor for what the dog
on trial may do till he has proven
his character by hie acts.
“So there is not one vestige of
legality in the whole dog law, and
if nine-tenths of the people, in
cluding the judges and jurors,
favored the law, and the other
tenth were to resist it, the resist
ance would be successful, for every
judge is sworn to uphold the con
stitution, and every juror is sworn
to give a verdict according to the
law given to him by the court.
“And, for one, I shall not plant
sheep under the reign of the pres
ent dog law.

Editor News-Herald: —Will you
please permit me space in your
valuable paper to say a few words |
about a flourishing little town iu|
the “sunny south,” and the coun
try here about ? Hoping you will,
I will sturt off by saying that this
is a small town about twenty miles
north of Thomasville on the S. F.
A W.R. R. Though small in ap
pearance, it is one of the first in
enterprise and growth. It iB near
ten years old, and has a popula
tion of about 800. We have store*
here that will equal most anything
in Atlanta, which add attraction
to the place. Almost in hearing
distance of here is located two saw
mills, which plough their way
through the loug body of the reg
ular southern pine. And then to
see the lumber being pulled awav
on four-horse wagons coupled from
20 to 80 feet adds a greater charm
to the lumber business. And theu
just opposite the stores is a great
turpentine distillery, which turns
out about 250 gallons of spirits per
day, and in a short time there will
be another one in operation. The
country is comparatively level
and the soil white or gray, and
very productive. Fertilizers ure
used about the same as in Gwin
nett. People will begin planting
their early vegetables about the
middle of this month. An 80-acre
field of watermelons is a common
thing. This is a very healthy part
of the state. I have not heard of
a single case of sickness Bince I
have been here. Everybody looks
as healthy and vigorous as it seems
nature will allow. People here are
bl ssed with a very good school
and a magnificent building. There
are two churches here, and the
people are alive in their church
affairs. I have beeu here now six
weeks and the only old friend I
have met or seen is the dear old
News-Herald, which I get just as
the sun is setting on Friday.

which are produced aud put on the
market by different manufacturers, it
is indeed a great relief to be able to
make a special report upon so worthy
a preparation as “Anti-kink.” It is a
preparation that will straighten and
take the kink out of curly hair, and is
manufactured and sold to the trade by
Darragh & Rich, of New York City. In
oommon justice to these gentlemen, we
as heartily commend it as we have in
the past condemned many so-called
hair growers and restorers, and other
preparations for the treatment of the
hair and scalp.
For somejdays “Anti-kink” has been
the subject of a painstaking investiga
tion on the part of the compilers of
these Reports, and a spirit of fairness
impels the statement that the most
searching examination brought to
light much in connection with “Anti
kink” that is worthy of the highest
consideration, in faot, it in every re
spect merits our highest praise, and
affords the most gratifying resnltsand
absolute safety in its use.
There is no head of hair that is so
kinky or curly, no matter what the
nationality or color may be, that a
thirty (30) day treatment of “Anti
kink” will not straigeten out in a most
gratifying manner.
If properly and vigorously applied
as directed, it will impart such a lustre
and brilliancy to the hair as will make
the use of all other preparations as
Brilllantine entirely unnecessary.
We have devoted much time and la
bor to a thorough investigation of this
truly wonderful hair preparation, in
order that we might intelligently ad
vise our readers all over this broad
land, whose inquiries reach us by
every mail as to its virtues and worth,
and it is with a high degree of satis
faction that we find the results of our
investigatiou warrant us in giving
“Auti-kink” the strongest editorial
and official endorsement of the United
States Health Rei'okts: Those who
follow the suggestions herein contain
ed may rest assured that in every es
sential feature “Anti-kink” will be
found to be a most excellent article,
aud sure to achieve success where di
rections are faithfully followed. Sales

Capital Punishment.
The number of men who dis
qualify themselves for jury service
in trials for capital crimes by de
claring thomselves opposed to the
death penalty is increasing. We
hear such statements made under
oath in our courts much oftener
than we formerly did, and the
seme thing is true in other states.
A large number of men were ex
cused from serving on the Molin
eux jury because of coucientious
opposition to capital punishment.
A socioty has been organized in
New York to advocate the aboli
tion of the death penalty, aud
among its members are some of
the most prominent citizens of the
state.
The attorney-general of Massa
chusetts has recommended that no
death sentence hereafter be impos
ed by that commonwealth upon
women or upon young men under
eighteen. He says that he was led
to these proposals by the fact that
public sentiment in his gtate has
permitted no hanging of a woman
for decades past, and that it ap
proved the recent commutation of
sentence of a seven teen-year-old
murder, in whose case there were
no mitigating circumstances.
Several states have abolished
the death penalty. Michigan did
so as far back us 1847; Rhode Is
land in 1862; Wisconsin in 1868;
lowa in 1878; Maine in 1870, and
Colorado last year.
AH the states, however, that
abolished the death penalty have
not stuck to their dicision. Both
lowa and Maine re-enacted the
death penalty within a few years
after abolishing it, but Maine
changed her opinion again and in
1887 repealed the death penalty
act. No attempt has been made
in either Wisconsin or Rhode Is
land to restore the death penalty,
but there is a strong movement in
Michigan in favor of going back
to it.
The Michigan advocates of the
death penalty claim that its ab
sence there means the inciting to
murder, while those committing
the crime aro pardoned a few years
after entering upon what was to
have been a life-long incarcera
tion. The increased prison pop
ulation, and the heavy cost of its
maintenance, are other arguments
which have carried weight, not
only in Michigan, but elsewhere
as well. On the other hand, the
opponents of the penalty make
much of the fact that while 947
lyuchings occurred between 1890
and 1894, only four took place in
states in which legal executions
had been done away with. They
also point to the fact that, while
85 per cent of the prisoners charged
with murder during the first 87
years of the federal government’s
existence were convicted, in 1891
only 28 per cent of the arraigned <
murderers were found guilty, and
of these only one per cent were ex
ecuted.
The federal government gives
evidence of a growing sentiment
against capital punishment. There
has not been an execution in the
navy since 1849, aud it is a strik
ing fact that, of the numerous sol
diers senteucod to death for mili
tary offenses during the war with
Spain, not one was executed. Even
in the cases of the four soldiers re
cently found guilty in Manila of
criminal assaults upon Filipino
women, the president could not
make up his mind to approve the
death sentence of the oourtmar
tial. Instead of beiDg shot or
hung, these offenders are to be
confined for life in the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan./
The tendency toward the aboli
tion or the death penalty is un
doubtedly growing in this coun
try . —Atlanta Journal.
