Of 1861 and 1865, MIR Aiken is
giving abundant time to this mat

eventually refunded to those who

Representative Ellcrbc OF South
Carolina is doing some valiant
work just at this time in regard to
securing an appropriation Of
100000 for the erection Of a post
Office building at Darlington,
South Carolina. Mr. Ellcrbc stated
that he was hopeful Of success
in this undertaking., and especially
SO on account Of the striking need
of such a building as he proposes
to have erected. Before the com
mittcc he made strong contrast
with the present cdilicc as COM
pared to other public buildings at
Darlington. Mr. Ellcrbc is ambi-

BITTEN BY A DOG.
But the Dog was not Mad. A dis.
cuSSion of the dog subject.


l have just heard with sorrow.
that a dog has bitten the little
child of Mr.. Will Spears, and he
gone with her to Atlanta, to
have her treated if the test proves
that the dog was mad, as he car
ricd the dogs head with him. |
wish he could have carried ten sol
ia cars of heads instead of one.
When | heard of it | was shocked
beyond measure. 1t brings to my
mind that less than Il year since |
had the same sad experience. So
| find myself in Il proper frame of
mind to pay my respects to those
contemplate, trouble making,
be- ch-lcggcd cusscs.
The readers Of the Advocate will
recall that in an article a few
months since | made the prediction
thai Just as long as every OTHER
house could boast Of from one to
three dogs the people would be in
dangcro Of being bitten by maddogs.
My prediction has come true, and
MIR. Gibson, and child, and little
Edith Spears, was the unfortunate
ones. Who will be The next! In
less than Il year eight persons has
gone to be treated for dog bites
and two others lost their lives be-
cause they could not 90. More
than $500 had to be spent on ac-
count of dogs, while the tax books
shows that only $5O7.5O vas col
lcctcd on them for the year 1906.
All this has occurred in Marlboro
county while our legislators seem
to be at case in Zion, looking on
with sublime and absolute indifcr-
el.cc, while people that they are
supposed to represent have all this
trouble to bear. Why don't we
nave Il bar-room at every cross
road! Because the law don't al
low them. Why are tn re SO ma
ny worthless dogs! Because the
law does allow them.

elected President, Mary L. Moore; vice.
presidents, Alice Cole and j. w. Cole;
secretary and treasurer, Alice Joy; enter
tainment committee, Inez Cole. Alta Cole,
Wilbur Cole, Louise Deasy, Stephen Cole,
Bert Joy and Marion Ray.
The impromptu program was much en-
joyed. The following resolutions were
adopted:
The annual recurrence Of this gathering
brings to our minds nothing else can the
the great less we have recently sustained, and
it is with profound sorrow that this associa-
ton records the death Ct three of its valued
members
First, Sarah Allen Cole, whose death on
Dec. T. 40, left vacancy which will ever be
felt. Living into beautiful and bepignant
age, she leaves behind her fragrant memories
of a serene presence, enc who endeared her
self to all by her kindly greetings, her ever
ready, helping hand and unselfsh life.
The silent reaper sgsin entered cur circle
on March u 1905, and took from cur number
Melville Cole. whose long service and wise
Councils in our gatherings in official and un-
official capacities will ever command our
heartfelt gratitude in the future as / n the past
He was an ardent lover Of nature, and well
acquainted with her many works. Although
feeling of sadness comes, when We think
how his familiar form win be missed, we ia Ike
comfort in the thought that he has gone to
his Maker.
Gods ways are not our ways, and we bow
humbly to His will. Although called upon to
mourn tie loss OF another member on March
70, 1865, in the death of Clara Cole Morse, the
secretary and treasurer of this organization
whose untiriag devotion to its interest, even
though suffering i'll health. now that her
voice is stiileo and her hand ifeless remains
with sacred and secure possession. Now
that she has been lifted up into the higher
life, we think Of her still, the helpful asso-
ciate. and her modest estimate of herself and
cordial recognition Of worth in others. Her
passing caves an example OF patience. forth
tude and cheer in Fiction. Such a life is an
inspiration. and its influence will live on and
swell the undying music of the world
Resolved, That in the Death of these menu
beers our family circle has met with an
irreparable loss, which we feel deeply.
Resolved, That in sympathy with the sor-
rowing relatives, We extend our sympathy
and cause these resolutions to be inscribed on
our records. ANNETTE HANDY.
