GUST NOW

we are getting what is known as q mad dog scare, but up to date we have heard of only two occasions of anyone being bitten, and both of them are only pOiit emen. Now the officials who have the power to do so have decided that all dogs shall be muzzled, and goodness knows that any dog that is foolish enough to take bite out of any of our cops should be muzzled. Yes, they should be put to death and . horrible one at that, because we must remember our brass buttoned gentlemen are necessity as well as an ornament and any naughty dog that has the audacity to touch one or them should receive the full penalty of law. Say, it's queer how people are so much afraid of being poisoned by the bite of dog, and yet there are lots of occasions where their health is in more danger by partakins or some of the beverages they drink. UT course we all know intoxicants are dangerous, but where a person is com pelled to drink poor, bad-tasting tea or coffee when they could get the nice tasting, good quality at 7our store for the same price, it's downrght shame. Remember we sell only the best aqll0l-3 ity and our prices are very reasonable within the reach of everybody. Upon request of few of our patrons we have added to our stock one of the highest grade coffees that grow. We sell it at 30 cents per pound and you cannot beat it In the United States, no matter what you pay It's delicious. This week we give a bread raiser, a big strong sled or a we'll made gal vanized coal bod with pound of our Baking Powder. Only 45 cents per pound at

HOME FOR CONSERVATIVES
Steps Shou'd be Taken to Provide Suitable Plae
 for Afflicted.

The present board of charities in tends to take proper care of cOnsump. tiyes and at the same time not subject the inmates of the Brookside home to the danger of catching the disease and probably dying off 50 quickly that most of the rooms would soon be va cant. This matter was talked Of at some length yesterday and so far as one could judge from expressions Of opinion none of the commissioners fa- vored admitting consumptives into the Brookside home. This may be q good plan, but after all very few of the fn- mates of the institution would be like ly to catch the malady, and besides the board may find it difficult to pro- vide suitable places for consumptives who may apply to the town from time to time and who might not be accepta- ble to the management of the Gaylord sanitarium, where. it is said. incurables are not admitted. or if taken in at all they are discharged as soon as the faculty finds that they cannot be cured. If the city means to pursue this policy it would he a move in the right direction to erect suitable building on the town farm where con. sumptives who become public charges may he properly housed and cared for. instead of trying tO crowd them into the Sanitariums. or. worse still, spend ing money maintaining them in board ing places where it is out of the ques- tiOn tO get satisfactory results. If there is danger tO the inmates at the BrOOkside home from the presence amongst them of parties suffering froIc consumption it should he removed. but before doing this steps should be taken t0 provide for the afflicted ones that may come along any time and want a place to rest for a while before they sifa

 Let me once again call the attention of the Congress to two subjects con- corning which I have frequently before communicated with them. One Is the question of developing American ship ring. I trust that a law embodying in substance the views, or q major para of the views, expressed in the repor on this subject laid before the House am well aware that in former years objectionable measures have been pro- posed in reference to the encourage ment of American shipping; but it ure is as nearly unobjectionable as can be. It will of course benefit prt- marily our seaboard States, such as Maine, Louisiana and Washington; but the end benefits all; just as govern ment aid to irrigation and forestry In the West is really of benefit, not only to the Rocky Mountain States, but to all our country. If it prove impracti- cable to enact a law for the encour- agement of shipping generally, then at least provision should be made for bet ter communication with South Amer ica, notably for fast mail lines to the chief South American ports. It Is dis creditable to us that our business peo- pie, for lack of direct communication In the shape of lines of steamers with South America, should in that great sister continent be at q disadvantaGe compared to the business people of Flu rope

the second subject, the condition of ous currency laws. The national bank act has ably served a great purpose in aiding the enormous business develop ment of the country; and within ten. years there has been an increase m circulation per capita from S21.41 to S33.OS. For several years evidence has been accommodating that additional leg lslation is needed. The recurrence oa each crop season emnhasizes the de- soon be revision of them, because to leave them as they are means to incur liability of business disaster. Since your body adjourned there has been money from two per cent to thirty per cent; and the nuctuation was even greater during the preceding six months The Secretary of the Treas ury had to step in and by wise action put a stop to the most violent period of oscillation. Even worse than such fluctuation is the advance in commer clal rates and the uncertainty felt in the sufhciency of el edit even at high rates. All commercial interests suffer rates for call money in New York att tract money from the interior banks into the speculative field; this depletes the fund that would otherwise be available for commercial uses, and commercial borrowers are forced to pay abnormal rates; so that each fall a tax, in the shape of increased inter est charges, is placed on thsA whole commerce of the country
 The mere statement of these facts shows that our present system Is se- riously defective. There is need of a change. Unfortunately, however, many of the proposed changes must be ruled from consideration because they arc hension, and tend to disturb existing t

Tillman and the Income Tax
--Vehemently Alleges that
He is no Tax Dodger.

bia Record: Senator Tillman left
Washington tonight for a short
lecture tourin the West. When
seen at the Pennsylvania station
he said that as it was a wei !
known fact that nothing was
accomplished prior to Christm as
at the short session, and as con-
gress would adjourn for the holi-
days Thursday, he would fiji a
few lecture dates. After the
first of January he would be in
his seat, when congress settles
down 10 business, and he points
to his twelve years in the nation
al legislative halls as to whether
he attends TO his official business
OF not.
Senator Tillman "had some-
thing to say" about the income
tax issue in which his name has
figured in the Palmetto state
press. He was vigorous In his
utterances and talked as follows:
There have been so many ma.

Which Wanted its For

Manning special in the News
and Courier: Rev. L. d. Nc
Gill, the newly appointed pastor
OF the Manning A. NJ. f.. Church.
had the unusual experience of
hndlng his church doors closed
when he went TO conduct the
regular services yesterday. Onlv
a small congregation had as.
sembled to hear the new pastor,
and to these he preached from
the porch of the church. This
action on the part OF the congre
cation, closing the church and
absenting themselves, was due
to soren. s. felt OH account Of
the failure cf Bishop Coppin to
return their former pastor, the
Rev. Williams, who has served
the church at This place as pastor
Tor me past three years, and had
endeared himself very much to
the people Of his charge. His
walk and conversation was gen
orally regarded as exemplary in
every particular, and the reports
that he carried to the late Con-
ference at Lancaster were deem
ed eminently satisfactory and
commendable. Such being the
case the officers and members of
his charge here were anxious to
have him returned for another
year, and they had taken such
steps as they thought insured
the desired end. They have no
compliant to make against the
Rev. McGil. who comes here
from Lancaster, and know MOTH
ing derogatory to his character
out having mad the promise OF
the Rev. Williams's return, they
determined to show a vigorous
protest against the Bishops
action.
