Dog days is approaching and will soon be in our. midst.
 This is something which comes every year about this time and is worthy ol a editorial concerning it from our pen The dog-star is now in its ascendancy so the alrnanack says, and dog days will soon be at their zenith We looked in the diclxshionary to find out what q zenith is, but the dieISshionary don't seem to shed much light on It. We also asked Amos Hillyef, our attorney and legal light, and Anne says that while the name sounds familiar to him he can't seem to place 1t somehow, al- though in his opinion 1t is a legal term or some branch of higher mathena- ticks.
 What we was a-going 10 say about dog days is that we desire to call the attenshion of the Board of Health to this matter. Everybody who has any sents knows that dog days is the time when dogs goes mad and bites innocent bystanders and gives them hyderfoby whether they desire it or not This is awful menace to our civilization and ought to be stopped It Is the swore duty of the Board of Health to put a stop to 1t. What is the Board of Health elected for except to promote the health of the citizens in and around Binsville Is 1t healthy to go and get bit by a mad dog9 We answer. "Now We realize that the Board of Health can't stop dog days from eomin' a bit more than they could stop Christmas, but the B. of Fl. can keep its eve on all the dogs in BingviIie during dog days, and when one of 'em shows signs of going mad then let the board step in and eradicate it. Mad dogs ought to be. kept chained before and after. Why is dog owners so careless? They always wait for dog to go mad before they chain it up and then like as not it is too late.
 There is too dog-goned many dog gone dogs in Bingville anyhow, and some of 'em ain't worth kickin' outen the road. Take that bulldog of Hez Andrews for instants The other day Hez was walking down to the P. o. to ask for his mail, being as he was expeetin d letter from his brother Sol, who lives out in Iowy and ain't wrote to Hez since 1884, and Hez don't un- derstand why Sol don't write and fear ing the worst, he has been pretty punekshual to ask for his mail for the past dozen years and so the dog was folefing right along at Hezze's heels when Hez meets up with Joshua Weathersby The dog started for Josh and begin to growl, but Hez he says Stand still, Josh--th' dog won't bite ye," and SO Josh stood still and the dog walked right Up to him and bit a chunk right outen the calf of his leg. What objeckt people has in saying their dogs won't bite when they will is more than we can imagine. Josh has been on pins and needles ever since, as ycL might say, fearing that he will have hyderfobia any minnit.
 That's why there ought to be some thing did by the Board of Health. Let this be a-sollum warning to that august body to perteckt the lives of our citi- zens from this horrible mallady. Let the board not wait until some of us have been bit, perteckt us while we need perteckshion.

SELF-CONVICTED.

The Dublin Dispatch COM
plains that some of the papers are
continuing to quote Mr.. Tom Watson
as saying that he had rather see the
republicans succeed than Bryan. and
declares with a degree of positive
ness that he says it is not so"
We will let Mr.. Watson answer both
himself and the COurier-Dispatch.
In communication to the Atlanta
Constitution less than a week ago
protesting against the very same
thing about which the Courier
Dispatch complains he said THE
only mention made of President
Roosevelt in my Augusta speech
was in connection with the Browns
vile affair where l contrasted
his courageous action with the
present unmanly attitude of Mr..
Bryan" Now, what has our Dublin
contemporary to say about that. 1t
shows beyond d doubt where Mr..
Watson's sympathies are, and why he
is going through the farce of run
ming for president.

ELECTOR sAFFOLD AGAIN.

Hon. Frank H. SaftOld, one Of
the democratic electors from the
state at large, very emphatically
puts at rest the report that he
will not, as citizen, support the
democratic national ticket in the
federal election in November.
1t has never been doubted that
as an electOr Mr.. StaffOld would
vote for Mr.. Bryan in the .elec-
toral college, but as he was OPP
posed to Mr.. Bryan's nomination
the report became current that
he would not acQuiesce in it to
the extent of voting for him in
November
In an interesting interview
presented elsewhere Mr.. SaffOld
states that he will not only sup
port Mr.. Bryan as a citizen, but
also as an eleCtOr, and that in
the full discharge of his duty as
an eleCtOr he will, at the proper
time, take the stump for the
democratic tiCket.-AtIanta Con-
stitutiOn.
1t was in the Atlanta Constitution
rself that Mr.. Saffold printed ;
igned statement the next day after
meeting of the state democratic
Xecutive committee and the demo
ratio electors that he would not vote
or Mr.. Bryan as a citizen in the gen
raj election, but if the democratic
arty of Georgia elected him as one
f its electors he would as an off
ial under instructions cast his vote
n the electoral college for the par
y s candidate. The same day The
and other daily paper.
arried news stories to the effect tina
lr. Saffold would not only not vote
or Bryan in the election, but that he
ad actually tried to deliver the
Whole electoral ticket over to Mr.
Watson.
If Mr.. Saffold persists in remain
ng on the democratic ticket we ar,
,lad to know that he has at las
cen his duty and intends to do it
Ne are still of the opinion, however
hat he should resign.
