Since the statement by Constable Eu.
bank. of Henrtco county. that the two
men supposed to have been killed by cars
OF the Westhampton line were murdered
and placed on the track. there has been
no new Developments. The constable is
waiting until he completes a solid link
Of evidence against the parties alleged
to have murdered both the white man
and the negro found on the rails.
Meantime there is no little interest be-
ing manifested by the people a tho

be arrested for the crime. Aotorman
Drake. who was on the car that killed
both the men. eagerly looks forward to
some clue to the murderers, He thinks
that the negro was dead and placed on
the track, but the white man moved
and groaned after he was struck By the
car. This seems to do way with the
theory that the latter was killed and
placed on the track.

THE DOG Law.

The now dog law Is working we'll, il
we may judge by the reports from the
county of Roanoke. The Salem Times
fegister reports total tax Of sss'D for
that county, not including the dogs in
the town of Salem. This sum will be
set aside by the Board of Supervisors to
reimburse owners of sheep which have
been killed by dogs. When an owner of
sheep suffers in this way he is allowed
out of THIS fund the assessed value of
sheep killed.
our Salem contemporary says that al
ready some allowances have been made
on this account. but it is expected that
only a part of the tax so collected will
be needed to reimburse farmers and the
rest will be applied TO the public schools
or TO the improvements of the county
roads
This is a good law and will have
wholesome effect. 1t will make farmers
more careful how they let bad dogs run
at large and win have a tendency to
give an impetus to the sheep-raising in
dustry, and il no part Of the fund thus
derived is needed to reimburse farmers
so much the better.
We do not believe in using the taxing
power as a regulative measure. Taxes
should be imposed for revenue only, but
if incidental benefits come there is no
objection. SO long the principle is
prcsrved.
