Ing to the assessors books, 80 houses

houses 81 males, 3j white and 10 COL
ored. are assessed With head taxes, and
in the whole block but three dogs are
licensed. and it is not unreasonable 10
assume that dog census would disclose
at least few more. Only 62O licenses
have been issued to this date. On July
81. I902-765 licenses had been issued
and the next year 1908 on same date 10.
For several years msny persons have
evaded payment, for 10 1902 the licenses
Issued amounted to 800 and the next

740 In 1906. Everyone knows that Alex
Sndria was never so overburdened with
dogs as il is today and there should be a
systematic effort made to get rid OF the
hundreds worthless ours, menace dur ,pg

The war on these pests should be relent'
less, and drastic measures used to make
the owners Of dogs who try to escape
payment pay a fine. 1t is fully twenty
years and more since the dog cart was
out, aud If the Mayor orders it out again
as 1t is rumored he will do, the order
will be commended by a majority OF the
community who dodge dangerous ours
during the day and are kept awake by
them at night.

Deaths in Batesburr

Mr.. J. Lafayette Hite, formerly as
sistant postmaster of this town peace
fully passed away at his home near
town on October 18th after linger-
ing illness of several months from
that most dreaded disease-consump-
ton. Everything that could be done
was cheerfully done by loving friends
and physicians, but to no avail. He
is survived by his father, mother,
three sisters and a young widow, who
but few months ago was bride.
He was faithful in the discharge of
every duty and his services in the
postofice were entirely satisfactory
to his employer and the public. No
young man was held in higher esteem
in our community and his death is a
loss that will be felt in years to come.
~ Mrs. Thos. G. Shealy, of this town,
died October 21st after brief illness
with pneumonia. She was married
to Mr.. Thomas Shealy at Allendale,
her former home, a few years ago,
and moved to this town with her hus-
band some time last year. The in
terment was in the town cemetery.

Delmar Locals.

The farmers are about through pick
ing cotton and most of the corn has
been gathered. Both cotton and corn
was fairly good. The hay crop was
from very poor to good and was gath
cred in first class condition. Oats are
being sown and from indications a
fairly good acreage will be put to this
crop. Wheat will be sown little
later and then the farmers will be
ready to plow their stubble and other
rough lands for another crop.
This fall blowing is one thing that
has been neglected too much in the
past and. another thing that the farm
er does not realize the Importance of,
is the supply of humus or vegetable
matter in his soil. When you do fall
plowing turn under all the grass that
is on the land and if you can spare
the haul some leaves or straw on the
land and plow that under. 1t will pay
in years to come.

Congressman Lever in Chester.

WAX &&SSSAhettA ~SNSA SaA 0SSSsSss
Chester, Oct. 2S.-Congressman A.
F. Lever spent q part Of yesterday
here. He was on his way home from
a trip to Toxawsy, Ashevelle and
Blowing Rock, N. G. He visited these
places with several members of con-
gress-a committee to inspect the
territory within the proposed Appa-
lachian forest reserve.
Congressman Lever is more than
ever impressed with the need Of
prompt action in this matter, and is
hopeful of favorable legislation at the
coming session. He regards some such
action as imperative for the preserva-
tion of the forests with their valuable,
timber and for the conserving of the
great water powers located on streams
which have their sources in the region
embraced, in this reservation.
Congressman Lever left in the
afternoon for his home IN Lexington.
