Exposition Gold Dollars.

Samples of the one dollar gold
pieces to be minted by authority of
congress in commemoration of the
louisiana purchase exposition at st.
Louis have been received by Director
of the Mint Roberts, of Iowa. He is
looking over them carefully with the
idea of definitely deciding in regard to
some minor changes in the designs.
When the designs have been finally
approved 100000 of the coins will be
minted and disposed of to the exposi-
ton company, which expects to real
ize at least 50 to each coin. The dol
lars are of about the same size as the
gold dollars which were continued sew
eral years ago. There are two de-
signs to be used. One will contain
the head of jefferson on one side with
the United States of America above it.
The other will contain the head of
Mckinley with the same wording. The
portraits each show up well, that of
the late President Mckinley showing
the carnation that he always wore in
the button hole of his coat lapel. The
reverse side will contain around the
rims of the words, Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition" with Il dollar" near
the top, small ornamental figure near
the center and "1S03-1903" at the bot
tom.

 beyond a doubt That there were other problems still for
 him to figure out. He went away of by himself and built

 he camped right there until He found new explosive so all-powerful

SEE THAT THE DOGS ARE MuzzLEo.

Our attention has been directed to the
large number Of dogs running at large
every day on the streets of Walhalla in
violation of Ordinance III, Section 3. 1t
is now two months past the date on
which the law in regard to the muzzling
or keeping up Of dogs is supposed to have
become effective, and inasmuch as yes.
terday was the beginning of the term
known as "dog days" it would be very
pr per to enforce the muzzle law at
once, thus preventing the possibility of
serious or fatal accidents in the way of
persons being bitten by mad-dogs. Its
strict enforcement would certainly have
the wholesome effect of Kidding the
streets of numerous ours aud mongrels
whose owncrs do vt consider them worth
tho price of muzsle. Let the law be
enforced. For the convenience and in
formation of citizens and the local au-
thoritios we print Section in full:
SECTION 8. That any dog running al
large within the corporate limits be-
tween the 1st day of June and the
1st day of October, without muzzle,
is liable to be seized and retained
for a period of twenty four hours, during
which time his owner can redeem him
by paying the sum of two dollars, and II
not so redeemed, the dog shall then be
sold. That any owner of dog or dogs
who shall let such dog or dogs run at
large on the streets of the town without
being muzzled shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and shall be punishe d
at the discretion of the Mayor within
the limits of his authority.

A Railroad Ticket Always Good.

Greenville, S. c., July 25.-One of the
most important cases tried at this term
OF the Court of Common Pleas was that
of A. II. Dagnall vs. Southern Railway.
In September. 1901, Mr.. Dagnall pur-
chased ticket at Easley for Seneca, but
for some reason the ticket was not used
on the day of its purchase. On the 23d
of last April Mr.. Dagnall was going from
Easley to Seneca, and in payment of his
fare rendered the ticket that had been
purchased about eighteen months pre-
viously. The conductor refused to ac-
cept it, saying that it was out of date.
Mr.. Dagnall refused to pay his fare and
he was told that he would have to leave
the train. When the train reached Lib
erty Mr.. Dagnall walked out of the car
and on to the steps, but would 90 no
further until the conductor took him by
the arm and helped him off the car. Mr..
Dagnall is practioing lawyer at Ander-
son and is a son of the Rev. r. r. Dag
nall, of Fountain Inn. Mr.. Dagnail
brought auit against the railway COM
pany for $i,993.99 for being foroibly
elected from the train. Tribble g. Prince
and Mccullough & McSwsin are repre-
senting the plaintiff, while Messrs A. III.
Dean and T. p. Cothran are the attor-
neys for the defendants. Some time ago
the Supreme Court of South Carolina
decided that a railway ticket was good
until it, was used, regardless of the date
of purchase. The case is an interesting
one and the final outcome will be watch,
ed with interest. The jury returned o
verdict of 3! 200 in favor of the plaintiff,
and the defendants counsel entered a
motion for new trial, which will be
argued next week.

Tamassee, July Give are having
very warm and dry weather now and
crops arc needing rain badly. The farm.

except in the late corn. Corn that was
planted before the high water is spotted,
as some was washed so badly; what was
| planted since is growing very we'll. Cot
ton is doing very we'll now, but it is
| about two weeks later than usual. We
do not look for much of crop of cotton
or corn, but we must be content with
whatever the Lord gives us.

Battle for Rabun Gap.

A special to the Atlanta Constitution
from Knoxville says:
1T now appears here that the South.
ern and Louisville & Nashville railroads
are to engage in fight for the right OF
way through Rabun gsp, the mountain
pass on the Georgia State line that forms
the only practical route into South Caro-
lima on direct line from Maryville.
Tenn, to Walhalla, S. G.
a corps of engineers of the Southern
Railway, headed by Chief of Construc-
tion w. II. Wells, went out from Mary
vile yesterday i'm the direction of Rabun
gap, and this corps is said to be making
locating survey.
The report is current here that the
Louisville & Nashville has already made
survey through the gap from the east.
ern side of the mountains. The next
move that is expected is that construc-
tion forces will be put into the field, and
perhaps a battle for possession of the
gap will be inaugurated by the two rail
roads.
The Southern has for many months
been talking about building through
Rabun gap, and now it is believed the
line is assured.
