THE NEW DOG LAW.

An act approved by the General
Assembly OF Virginia on the 9th day
of May, 1908, In reference to taxation
of dogs lie as follows:
Be it enacted, That all dogs In
this State which have been assessed
with license tax pursuant to an
act entitled an act to amend and re-
enact chapter Observation-Disclosures
Of the acts Of Assembly, session 1901
and 1902, entitled an act to protect
sheep and other stock in the counties
of this State and to amend the title
thereof 30 as to provide for imposing
q license tax on dogs, approved Feb
-uary II, 1908, upon which said
license tax is not delinquent or which
have been assessed with license tax
or other tax pursuant to any
ordinance of any incorporated city
or town of this State, now or here
after having a municipal law pro-
viding for or imposing license tax
or other tax on dogs, or pursuant to
any special dog tax law Of any
county and upon which the said
license tax or other tax is not delin-
quent and no other dogs shall be
deemed personal property and may
be the subject of larceny and
malicious on unlawful trespass, but
it shall not be necessary in any prose-
cution under this act to prove the
accused had knowledge that any sucf
dog had been so assessed was noI
delinquent.
The same act further provides
that the Board of Supervisors of an,
county having u special dog tax Law
may, in their discretion, provide
that this act shall not apply to tn,
dogs assessed for taxation with il
their said county.
In the county of Northumberland
therefore, which has a special do,
tax law, all dogs, upon which tax j
not delinquent, are personal property
as the Board Of Supervisors in sal,
county. have taken no action, nor d.
1 suppose they will take any. Al
one has to do now, is to see that tn
tax on his dog is paid. When this
done his dog is property.

A BABOON RUSS CAu.

Inere is iu Cape COLONY
who has not only trained baboon
to do his work for him, but also to
bring him down in the morning and
take him home at nigh. he is
signal man on the railway, ana L.
had trained the baboon to such per-
fection that he was able to sit in his
cabin, stuffing birds, etc., while the
animal, which was chained up out
side, pulled the levers. the signal
man leaving certain signs to denote
which lever it was to pull. AS soon
as the last train at night had gone
the signal man, who had lost both
legs, fixed trolley on the rails and
sat upon it, wLlle the baboon pulled
it along. 1t was very fond of Boer
brandy aud tobacco. If ever it broke
away it never associated with other
baboons, as it had been brought from
some distance, and balloons seem
very clannish.-Balimore Herald.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The Durham Herald throws oui
this hints If farmers would cult.
vate ten acres instead of scratching
over fifty they would not feel the
scarcity of farm laborers as they dc
now.
Pension Commissioner Ware re-
ceiyed shock recently from a
veteran who had applied for a
pension. Walter Vail, of Michigan
City. In6., who served in Indiana
Volunteers, wrote him withdrawing
his duplicating for a government
stipend, saying: 81 DO not need it,
and the services rendered do not, in
my Judgment, entitle me 10 it."
In Norway, it is said, the suthori-
ties are reforming runkards in this
fashion: When a man is found
drunk he is sent to prison and fed
on bread soaked in wine. This food
goes well for day or two, when it
becomes distasteful. Followed up for
a few days longer the wine becomes
so offensive the victim is permantly
cured of drunkenness and he ia set
at liberty.
j. A. Everett, president of the
American Society Of Equity, farm
ers' organization, has issued an appeal
to farmers to hold their wheat for
81 bushel. The appeal Is addressed
especially to the farmers of Kansas.
"The farmers of the wheat belt of
Kansas hold in their hands the con.
troll of the breaIstuff markets of the
world at this moment" said Mr.. Ey-
erett. "Lf they should dump their
100000, 900 bushels of wheat on the
market the speculators' organization
will rule"
Three little girls near Richmond
barely escaped with their lives re-
Gently while playing in the backyard
OF their home. In the yard was a
meat ice-box hardly any larger than
heavy travelling trunk, but with a
weighty lid. The children climbed
into the ice-box and the lid fell over
them. How long they remained
there gssping for breath as the oxy-
gen was rapidly used up is not known.
A negro passing heard a moan and
looked into the ice-box. He found
the little girls insensible and purple
OF face. BY the time a doctor ar
rived the parents had resuscitated
the little ones. Mustard plasters
had been placed on their wrists,
their little limbs rubbed aud the
fresh air did the rest.

AND LOCAL OPTION.
(R,chmond Times Dispatch.)

I Our Washington correspondent
says: "Mr. w. Courtney Franklin,
Of Pamplin, Va, is another Virginia
Republican now in the city who is
inclined to think the Mann law is
going to hurt the Democrats at the
election this fall and in 1905. Mr..
Franklin called attention to the fact
that there is now not bar.room ON
the line of the Norfolk and Western
between Lynchburg and Petersburg,
distance of 125 miles, and not one
on the Southern between Lynchburg
and Danville, a distance of seventy
Eve miles. Mr.. Franklin might have
added that there is not saloon on
the James river division of the Ches
apeake and Ohio and Clifton Forge,
a distance Of eighty miles. But all
the counties were local option or dry
prior to the enactment of the Mann
law. While the new law has closed
many saloons, the fact should not be
lost sight of that two-thirds Of the
counties of the State were dry before
the Mann bill was offered in the
Virginia Legislature.
"It is becoming quite apparent
that it is the intention of the Repub-
licans to make the Mann law an issue
perhaps "the paramount issue
In the campaign next fall and in the
gubernatorial contest. Democrats
might as we'll face the fact"
lf the Democratic party can be
defeated on this score there is less of
righteousness IN the State of Vir-
ginia than We believe to exist. The
Democratic party can well afford to
60 before the people on this record.
The Mann law is not sumptuary
law. We have never believed, and
do not now believe, that the method
which it employs is fair means of
ascertaining public sentiment. But
be that as it may, it is local option
pure ard simple. 1t gives to the
people of every community the right
to say whether or not a saloon shall
be open within their borders, If a
majority of them want a saloon all
that they have to do is to find man
who will agree to keep it, and then
petition the court to grant him a
license. The Mann law leaves every
community TO decide this question
for itself, and local option is good
Democratic doctrine.
We do not believe in general pro-
hibition, for estate prohibition is the
act of one community imposing its
will on another community" But
turn about is fair play, and by the
same token we do not believe in a
general license system. That is to
say, We do not believe in forcing
saloons upon u community where a
large majority of the people are op-
posed to them. The Mann law SIM
ply provides that each and every
mar l. -.suiue for ifsaif
Whether there shall be saloons or not.
There is nothing undemocratic in the
principle, and the Democratic party
has no cause to apologize for what
it has done in adopting this measure.
So far from hurting itself by adopt
ing the Mann law, it has strength
ened itself, certainly with the best
and most influential part of the
population.

DROUTH IN TEXAS.

In commenting upon the growth
of prohibition sentiment in Virginia,
which eliminated in the passage of
the Mann liquor law, the esteemed
Norfolk Public Ledger calls atten-
tion to the fact that the same con-
ditions appear to prevail In the Lone
Star State. 1t is pointed out, in sup
port of this contention, that "Texas
is about Blk times as large as the
State of Virginia, aud already the
sale of liquor has been forbidden in
two-thirds of that vast State, with a
probability that most eff the remain
ing counties will be carried by the
Prohibitionists, who are waging an
aggressive fight. A map showing
the territory in the South in which
the sale of liquor is prohibited by
law would prove interesting, as most
of the territory between tn, Potomac
and Ohio rivers on the north and the
Rio Grande on the south is now con-
trolled by those who are opposed to
the sale of liquor. The cities, of
course, as a rule, are excepted from
the operation of the prohibition law d
The reports from Texas clearly in
dicate that the sentiment in favor of
prohibiting the sale Of intoxicants ia
rapidly spreading in Dixie. Perhaps
much Of this sentiment has been
produced by the disreputable ele.
ments in the liquor trade itself. Al
a general thing, the Southern people
are not given to interfering with tn,
business or the habits of other peo.
pie. They are not promiscuoui
regulators and reformers. Som,
saloon keepers, however seem to hav,
taken this easy-going federation q
an indication of blunted moral per
ceptions, and they have gone forwars
upon this assumption until reac
tion has occurred, which, in its in
tensity, has placed a hardship upol
many men who have conducted
legitimate business. The excesses o
liquor dealers who considered them
selves above or below the operation
of laws made for the regulation O
the liquor traffic undoubtedly ex
plains the growth of prohibition ser
timent in the South. Whether Q
not these persons are wise enough
heed the lesson of the widesprea
movement against them remains
be seen.-Me,oport News Press.
