WAS ONLY A WEE DOG.
but Humane Women Made His Last
Moments Painless.

Moments Painless.
1t was just a little dog-that was all
-nameless. homeless and brindle, but
upon one tiny injured paw the tears of
two women fell as with soiled handker-
chiefs the painful wound was bound.
Few heroes returning from the wars
were ever nursed more tenderly than
was this little mOngreI that came to
grief, and ultimate death beneath the
heels of a heavy draft horse near the
Gas House Hill. 1t was just at the
time when the great work-a-day world
was preparing to cease its grind and
hurry home for the night People
fastened 10 and fro. seeing, but Civ
ing no thought to the poor little pup
py that lay upon the sidewalk, crushed
and bleeding.
1t was just a no-name pup-it didn't
even have an owner. No earthly good
to anyone: it was just a brindle obsta-
Gle in everybody's way. And so, as
they came and went, people stepped
over it. trod upon it or kicked it out
of the way. Without a wimper the
canine waif took it all-merely looking
up appealingly. 1t didn't mean to be
III tllc way any more imam IL ndQ come
into the world at its own asking-it
was sorry that either had happened.
Then, like a breath of summer on
winters day. came the good Somari-
tans, two women from opposite direc-
tons. With single impulse they knelt
upon the pavement, forgetful of the
presence of a curious crowd. Gentle
hands softly stroked the puppys ruff
rled yellow hair, in an effort to allevi-
ate the pain. Handkerchiefs were torn
into strips and the injured foot was
bandaged. But the little four-footed
sufferer had been injured internally. A
youpgster who had stopped playing

off he scampered while the women
remained on guard. In a few minutes
he returned with bottle of chloro-
form. The mongrels benefactors patted
it on the head and received feeble but
grateful ticks on the hand, the only
way the animal could express it's APP
probation.
Poor, poor little fellow" said one of
the women, as the boy stopped over the
pup and emptied the contents of the
bottle on a handful of cotton. You'll
soon be out Of the way of all suffering"
Slowly the suffering brindle inhaled
the anaesthetic, the heart of the out
cast fiuttered for a second, and then
was stilled forever.
And all of this happened on the East
Side-the women live in the neighbor-
hood. and the boy knows no other To-

COTTON CROP 100000.
That Is the Estimate of an Augusta
Man-Nevvs Notes.

Man-NeWB NONeSs
Augusta, Sept. Sat the beginning
of each cotton year an expert estimate
of the crop of the coming year is
posted in the exchange. 1t is made by
a student of all the crop conditions,
who has been making it for years. In
1901 he came within 100000 bales of
the crop and in 1902 within $4,000. His
estimate for 1908 is II 200, 900.
Augusta was visited this afternoon
by a severe wind and rain storm, which
seems to have been largely local, as a
mile away the shower was only suffi-
cient to lay the dust. In the heart of
the city there was a downpour of rain
and hailstones as large as walnuts. No
damage is reported of a serious char
acter.
Richmonds county tax rate was fix
ed at 460. This with the state rate, 500
and school tax, 2.65. makes a total of

Mrs. a. Pizzini. Jr., has decided that
she will not keep the relics OF the Holy
Cross and Of ST. Ann III the oratory OF
her home on the corner OF Eighth and
Grace streets. She has been led to this
decision by the fear Of fanatics who
might possibly be prompted to desecrate
the oratory for the purpose OF getting
possession Of me priceless reAcs. and
would be more likely to make such an
attempt when lley rested in private
house than when they responsed In the
Catholic cathedral. The relics will there
fore be bestowed in the safe at the
Episcopal residence after the cere-
monies Of to-day. and will be kept
there until the new cathedral is
finished when they will be the center

of the faithful will often be- turned.

There is considerable agitation among

Of new courthouse and city jail, as the

the city. Some members are in favor
Of having such q building erected as can

Alderman. J. T. Abbott said last night
that he wanted to see the new courthouse
located In the vicinity OF the old tavern

tn favor of having the new building as
nearly in the center OF the city as pos
stble.
Just how long it Will be before the new
