The IiaIf-Staryed Dog.

81 cant do anything and 1 do not
suppose you can either; but it does
look to me as if the legislature sh hould
dc something to AGATE the dog nui-
ssnce. To say nothing OF the per-
sonal annoyance to farmers and 9th
ers, it would be almost impossible to
calculate the expense to which this
country is put in the mair tainance Of
worthless dogs
So spoke Mr.. w. f. Gettys, of the
Clay Hill neighborhood, on Wednes-
day. He came into the Enquirer Office
especially to discuss the dog question,
and he was evidently very much in
earnest, for like hundreds of Others
throughout this part of the State, be

worthless ours until further patience
with regard to the matter has ceased
to be virtue.

Now dom. understand me to be an

unless it should become nuisance to
my neighbors. But there is no dan

fed dogs don't harm anybody. 1t is
the half-starved dog that is such a
nuisance to the country and SO expen-
sive.
"For great many years I have
been raising a great many chickens,
and every year I have suffered more or
less on account of half f.starved dogs
that suck eggs and eat chickens. This
year undertook to raise turkeys and
increase my flock of guineas. 1 know
certainly Of having lost at least 100
turkey eggs on account of dogs, and 1
have no idea that my losses of guinea
eggs would foot up less than ten doz-
en-. Besides this, any number of hen
eggs have gone the same way, aud
also some chickens.
Poison or shoot the dogs? Why
you know that would never do. Dogs
are property and have the protection
Of the law. OF course if I would
catch dog in the act of destroying
eggs and kill it, it is probable that the
owner would say nothing. I would
not care much what he said. But, all
the same, under such circumstances,
or at least if [ should kill the dog be-.
fore he committed the act, I would
be liable to prosecution, and if the
owner could make it appear that the
dog was worth anything, I would have
to pay. And that is hard.
"But leaving all of this out Of the
question, there are too many dogs. It
is too easy to own dog. Lots of
people own dogs who are not able to

own them, and here comes the trouble.
You think all the dogs in the country
are returned for taxation? Not by SO
per cent, hardly. Why? Well, 1
cant give you all the reasons; but l
can tell you some Of them. Some dog
owners simply do not make returns.
Then again, many dogs are owned by
negro children, and are not claimed by
the fathers Of the children. Ask the
fathers who feed the dogs, and they
are pretty apt to tell you nobody
That in sense is fact; but in an
other sense it is long way from the
fact. Those of US farmers who try to
raise chickens, turkeys, sheep, etc.,
feed them. These are the kind of
dogs that kill sheep and suck eggs.
They live off the very fat of the land,
and each year cost the neighbors an
amount equal to the value of the finest
bird dog in the country.
II hardly think that there are a
great many farmers who will disagree
with me in my statements. am sure
there will be no disagreement With ne
on the part of any farmer who tries to
have chickens and eggs. If any Of
these have experiences different from
mine, they are certainly fortunate.
"Now l can think of only one rea-
sonably satisfactory remedy for the
situation. l have discussed the mat
ter with numerous people-farmers,
business men and others-and all agree
on the idea that something should be
done. AS the best thing in sight we
have arrived at the conclusion that it
would be well if the General Assembly
would pass an Act providing for the
levy Of tax of s1.0O head on all
dogs. Let it be arranged 80 that on the
payment of s1.00, the county will
issue collar and tag good for one
year. Then let the law go further and
offer, under proper conditions and
safeguards, bonus of 81 head for
every unlicensed dog that may be
killed by the public.
The reporter acquiesced with Mr..
Gettys in everything that was said;
but went on to remark that the gen.
eral assembly had considered some
kind Of proposed dog act at every
session since the war, and had never
had the manhood to enact such law
yet.
eyes, that may be true,' replied
Mr.. Gettys; "but believe that pub
lie sentiment can yet be aroused on
the subject sufficiently to accomplish
something. It is not fair to all ow the
kind of people who are responsible for
such dogs as complain Of, to go on
imposing the rest Of us as they are
doing, and I think we should give the
General Assembly to understand that
the best interests of the public should
be considered in this matter. From
my standpoint, the raisers Of sheep
and poultry are entitled to at least as
much consideration as are people who
persist in furnishing shelter for half
starved dogs. "-Yorkville Enquirer.

ARCHIBALD.

Duffy's field, on Wednesday afternoon,
was the scene of the fastest base ball

For some time past the management of
the Archibald team had made fruitless
eitorts to secure game with the much
lauded Crescents of Carbondale, and
finally Manager Tappan allowed his

game. Before many innings had been
played 1t became evident to every one on
the diamond that they were witnessing
battle between teams of equal merit,
and as the game proceeded, it became
more snappy and exciting. Both sides
seemed to be in good spirits, and the
many close decisions which were invari-
ably awarded in Carbondale's favor, were
received without a murmur of protest
until the ninth inning, when the pets"
realized that with only one man out and
two on Bases Archibald was almost GER
tain to score. AT this time they started
In to win the game by fair means or
foul, and 1t turned out to be the latter
course that they selected. Price, in run

blocked by McHale and Umpire Burke

Is directly in violation of rule 50, section
q, which states that in such a case the
runner is entitled to base. unless the

who was running from third base to
home, when he was blocked and forcibly
detained by McAndrew, directly in front
OF the reporters bench. Aside from this
the ball that was thrown from Roster
to Murray. and which was lost in the
crowd, was thrown into the diamond by
an outsider, constituting blocked ball,
as per rule 26. section 3. According to
merit and according to the rules of the
game, Archibald was entitled to victory,
and that they We're deliberately cheated
