THE Dyer County Herald suggests
that the editors of the State meet at
Nashville on January 3, for two
days session, for the purpose Of dis
GUESSING ways and means for the in
dustrial development of the State,
and Improvement of State laws relat-
ing thereto. The idea is practical,
and IL carried out with earnestness
would doubtless bring forth good re-
suits. But If the meeting-as most
meetings do--resolves itself into a
mutual admiration society, with
orations about John Sewer and
Kings Mountain and Sallie Some
body who saved the day by jumping
gulches and outriding the Indians,
winding up with resolutions endors-
ing Benton McMillin, the Demo-
cratic party, ETC., why the movement

remedies to cure them; but unless
the remedy and effort is to be COM

ABsE IT MEMBE RS IN THE WAY

The members who were present at
tue last meeting OF the Board oil
Mayor and Aldermen, to-wit, Mayor
Cameron and Aldermen BrOwnlow
and Voss of the first ward, White OF
the second, Payne of the third and
Nicholson of the fourth, went as far
as they could in granting the petit
ton of the people for safety gates at
the railroad crossings on South Main
and South Garden streets. They
passed the ordinance on its first
reading, but were blocked from
passing it on Its further readings by
the absence OF three members; there
being rule which requires a two
thirds vote of the full Board to sus
pend the rules and take up an ordi-
nance on It's second or third read
ings. The absent members, there
fore, blocked the proceedings as
effectually az if they had been
present and voting in the negative.
Two of the members who were absent
last evening, were also absent at the
previous meeting, and 1t occurs to
Us that they owe 1t to themselves
and their constituents to render
their EXCUSES publicly to the public.
Wa hold that when a man accepts
public trust like this, he 10 morally
lust az much obligated to give IL all
the time. thought and attention it
requires, as II II had q big salary
attached. II IL thankless job, we
admit; and the Aldermen ought to
be paid something for their service,
But these facts were all known before
the election, aud an acceptance OF
the Office carried with It a moral OBJ
LEGATION to discharge the duties OF
the same. The absent members
may have good reasons for their
absence at the last meeting. lfthey
have they will place themselves in a
better attitude before the public by
making those reasons known.
The petitioners for these gates
should not congratulate themselves
too early that they have won
victory. The gates are not ordered
vet by a long shot. And with all
their seeming acquiscence and will
ing obedience, the Railroad Com
pany does not intend to incur this
: expense if by plausible argument

vent it. They will hint around
about a new depot, and survey anc

intention of ever building; they will

F., sharp. practices to lull the people tt
sleep and tire the Board out; II
7 short. they won't build the gates
until they have to.
We admonish the people, there
fore, to keep up the fight. Talk t.

Fined S..

Andy Sellars was fined So and
costs in the city court yesterday
on the charge of fighting Charley
Hunt. The fight took place Wednes-
day morning in front of Sellars'
saloon on the square, and Hunt,
while not seriously hurt, was dis
figured to such an extent that he
was unable to appear in court.
Hunt was drunk at the time, and the
difficulty arose over a debt which he
owed Sellars.

THE DOG NUISANCE.


II takes nearly IA much TO feed a
dog as 1t does hog. A man who
had been feeding two dogs for
economy's sake disposed Of them
and invested In two hogs. That was
in the spring. From then until late
in the fall he fed them nothing but
slop from his kitchen. Then he put
them in pen aHd for month fed
them in addition 20 the slop all the
corn they would ea:, and when he
sold them found that ne had about
quadrupled his money.
Moral:-Dogs, by taking the elop
from the hogs, take the bread out Of
the mouths of the children OF the
poor.
Another objection to dogs is their
destruction of sheep. How many
hundreds of thousands Of dollars
dogs have cost the sheep raisers, no
man can even approximate. They
not only kill thousands Of sheep
every year, but their depredations
pp0p the focks that are, deter Others
from engaging ip The business, And
what this costs Tennessee no Haaa
gan imqgiRo, And yet our State
degislatpres will fritter away weeks
at a time trying TO sleet O librarian,
ea engrosl..rg clerk, or something OF
that sort, bnt are too co~ard'y TO
pass a dog law for the protection OF
the sheep Industry OF the STATE. WIZ
such political eoward.ea and business
incompetency In the halls OF legisla
ton, how can a State develop and
grow and prosper. For IL they have
not courage and business sagacity
enough to outlaw the dogs, we may
imagine what general imbecility
pervades their proceedings.
Not only are the dogs expensive.
but they are dangerous. Several
years ago Columbia had two deaths
from hydrophobia. Two industri.
GUS, well-to-do negroes, a man and
woman, were bitten early in the
morning while on their way tc
work, by the worthless dog of a
neighbor. In few days they both
developed hydrophobia and died
Near Bells, Tennessee, there is said
to be an epidemic Of hydrophobis
among the dogs, and they have bit
ten cows and hogs and people. A
special from Springfield, Tennessee
says ''there have been several deaths
In this county in the past few week
as result of mad dog bites, and th'
people have become aroused to thu
point where thev will demand o
their representatives the passage o
a dog law" In Christian county
Kentucky, bordering on Tennessee
several deaths have occurred from
hydrophobia, and parts of the count,
are infested with rabid CANNES.
All this, and yet the Legislature o
Tennessee will meet next month
and drag out it's existence and Civ,
no practicel relief. They may posi-
bly, put dollar tax on dog, which
will yield little revenue but do NJ
good along the lines needed. Fo
the dog fanciers-whlte and black
rich and poor-will pay the tax an,
hold IT, their precious pets.
What is needed is law to OUTLAY
the dogs. Tax them so high tina
only those who have really valuabl
dogs, and use them, will pay it; an
require that these VIII m not in use
shall be kept in their kennels.
When one thinks of how niue
our legislatures could do to help tn
condition of the people and tn
growth of industries. and how llttl
they do, the future presents dis
couraging prospect.

BATTERY G WON, 16 TO 10.
Defeated the Opposing ArtilIerymen
at Baseball by n Round Score.

Baseball teams from Battery F and Bat
terry at Fort Screven, played a game
at the Baseball Park yesterday, that re-
suited in a victory for the latter, by
score of 16 to 10.
The game was advertised 10 begin a
o'clock. but did not begin until much later,
owing to the inability of the teams 10
get an umpire. One of the spectators was
finally induced to take this thankless task
upon the promise of the men, that what
ever decisions he might make would

any way" With this understanding he
consented, and the game was started
Both teams appeared in neat uniforms,
which were quite an Improvement over the
cos tunes worn in the former games, when
the long-legged trousers, leggins, and other
soldier-like paraphernalia took away as
much from the appearance of the men as
1t did from their ability to get about
quickly, particularly in running bases.
While yesterdays game could not he
called on the whole, frst-class exhib:-
ton of what the game should be, still il
was quite interesting. Both pitchers were
batted freely, especially Pernell of Bat

but very poor control of the ball. in two
innings the fourth and the fifth, he, by
numerous bases on balls, hits, AMI
series of errors on the part of the re-
mainder of the team allowed Battery c to
score twelve runs, lead that was never
afterward overcome.
The best playing of the game was done
for Battery f by Colley whose batting
was really excellent; by Jones, whose run
ming catch of difficult fly in the third
inning. was one of he features of the
game, and by McChesney, who in the fifth
inning, made splendid left-hand catch

For Battery c. Dobsop and Watson, the
battery and Scanlon, third base, carried
off the honors.
During the fifth inning. while after a
foul ball, Ivey, the catcher for Battery +.
and Grayson, the third base, ran into each
other, Ivey received a bad fall that de-
layed the game for a few minutes. AL
though he received a bad blow on the face
that brought blood, he pluckily caught the
remainder of the game.

by innings are as follows:
