AFTER TAKING.
Dog VS.. Sheep.

The Appomattox Times says: There
are thousands of acres of land in this
county which are not worth the taxes
paid OH them. and are not worth redeem
ing If taken in by the State or by "land
grabber," If we had a proper dog law,
nearly all this land could at once be
made valuable for the growing of sheep
aud the sheep in a few years would re-
store its value as farming land The
South Carolina counties some time ago
showed that there were in the county
more dogs than sheep. 1t would ap-
pear that in many sections of the South
farmers think more of their CANNES than
they do of their fiocks.

AGAINST LAND
"GRABBER'S.' -
Decision of the United
States Court.
Judge Goffs Decisions Touch
Strongly ON the Points
That Will Probably
be Raised on the
A Annpal
Appeal.

Il l.
The delinquent land tax law, or as
IT Is commonly called, the "land-
grabbers' act of 1S95-'96 and 1897
''9S may be vitally effected by the
recent decision of Judge Goff in the
United States Circuit Court OF APP
peals, in regard to the validity of
laws passed by the Legislature of
that State, almost exactly the same
points being involved.
The cases decided by Judge Goff
were The Board of Commissioners
of Stanley County, n. c., VS.. w. n.
Coler & Co., and the Board of Com.
missioners of Oxford, n. g., VS..
Union Bank of Richmond, Va. The
main poin decided that certain laws
passed by the North Carolina Leg
islature, authorizing the bonds to
aid In the construction of railroads,
were null and void, because of failure
to observe the requirement of the
State Constitution that such laws
shall be read three times on three
differ ent days, and agreed to by
each house, and the yeas and nays
on the second and third readings
shall be entered on the journal

Hon, ID. A. Grimsley, Judge of this
circuit, by State Senator John l..
Jeffries, representing the petitioner,
and William Justice, of counsel for

The Court held that the effect of
these acts in reducing the rate of in
