Canine Went Mad On Way to

Negroes Kept Him at Bay
Until Arrival of Officers.
An hero'c piece of work wa* done
by two negroes near the Sand Bar
Ferry road and Lover's Lane Friday,
when, after having run o mad dog
into a culvert, they stood guard at
e-ach end to prevent the dog from get
ting away before the county officers,
who had been notified, reached the
scene to kill the rabid animal
The dog wa* owned by a negro of
South Farolina, who, with several oth
er negroes, was coming Into Augusta.
As they reached the Intersection of
I.ovir's Lane and Sand Bar Ferry the
dog was apparently seized with hy
drophobia, and the Immediate dangep
was at once realized by the negroes,
who soon armed themselves with
stick*. With these weapon* the men
protected themselves from the at
tacks of the dog and for at least two
hours they battled.
The sheriff wa* informed of the
situation. He dispatched Jailer Plun
kett tn an auto to the scene, and tn
the meantime County Motorcycle Of
ficer Parish and Constables Whittle
and Morgan heard of the affair and
all were soon at the scene. They
killed the dog upon arrival.

the jury as follows; "Gentlemen of

Traffic Ever Increasing.
London.—Forty-five thousand Chi
nese and Lascar sailors are employed
on British *hips. During past two
years 10,000 Chinese sailors have been
' brought into this country and the
j number increases every year. These
are the figures published by the Sea
mans' Union. Havelock Wilson, the
head of the union, declares that Brit
ish sailors must fight this Oriental
competition. •He does not believe in
an appeal to parliament, for many of
the Chinese, and practically all of ihe
Lascars, are British subjects, a fact
which make* legislation against them
Impossible. His plan Is to have the
labor unions combine to prevent any
ship employing Oriental hands from
being loaded or discharged in the
ports of the United Kingdom.
On the part of the ship owners the
arguments are urged that Chinees
sailors are more faithful more amen
able to discipline and —a point whirh
(lie l'.nglish satUrmen resent bitterly—
oro mote efficient. That they win work
for lower wages, and that their cost
for food and other necessaries is below
that of white sailors is unquestion
able, but those are points upon which
the owners, from motives of policy,
put as little stress as possible.

Germany in principle, to the assur

who complained of the clause in the
Manchurian loan agreement providing
that future loans should be awarded
to the same parties. This Japan ana

The corporation of the City of Lon
don have had their own way in the
matter of the construction of a new
bridge across the Thames river, Just
below St. Faul’3 Cathedral, which in
view of the fact that the city is sup
plying the money seems right and
proper. When the city decided that
another bridge jvsb necessary to
handle the ever-increasing traffic be
tween the north and south of London,
a bill was presented to parliament
asking the necessary permission.
The city's proposal provided that a
new bridge should be constructed and
that the streets behind St. Paul’s
should be widened to allow of the free
passage of traffic. It was simply a
businessman's proposition. The ar
chitects and artist, and others who
pretend to a knowledge of art, arose
and declared that if the scheme was
carried out as suggested by the city
a great opportunity of beautifying
London would be lost.
They proposed that the bridge should
be so built thaJ it would approacn op

provement, but as it would cost $lO,-
000,000 more and the corporation did
not have the ten million to spare, they
opposed it. With the powerful sup
port of A. J. Balfour, member for the
city, the corporation bill was passed
and the bridge will be built as origi
nally arranged.
