What Happenod in Magazinedom

An American CaYelier, who was, by
the way, a very Scientific American
and an ardent exponent of Physical
Culture, was on an Outing in the
Wild West, when he met q Modern
Priscilla who was a Designer Of fancy
Millinery for the Smart Set. They
took in the town until Sunset when
they learned by the Bill Board that
Harper's Bazaar was a Popular place
of the Peoples, whose means would
not permit them to Travel.
A New Idea struck them, they
would get married and enjoy Country
Life. Good Housekeeping was q part
Of her Education, and she had often
longed for House and Garden Of
her own. He had made a study of
Poultry Culture and Our Dumb Ami
mails, and was very fond Of Outdoor
Life.
So they went TO the Judge who
was a member of a Smiths family.
His fee was nothing, as he remem-
bered his Happy Days Of long ago,
and was only too glad to give these
young people the same happiness he
had enjoyed, and hoped that this
young fellow was getting as good a
Housekeeper as he had gotten.
They left for their home with
Evergbodys good wishes for Success
in Life. She said she would do her
Dress Making at Home, thus practic-
ing Economy at the beginning.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the Board Of Aldermen OF the
City of 0pelousas.
Gentlemen: Your committee. COM
posed OF the undersigned, appointed to
prepare and present an ordinance Fela-
tive to dogs running at large within
the corporate limits, in lieu of the or
dinance now in force, beg leave to sub
nit herewith an ordinance which In
their opinion meets the requirements Of
the situation and the views of many OF
the advocates and opponents of the old
ordinance on that subject.
In this connection we desire to say
that no subject coming before the City
Council for consideration and determi-
nation has brought ouEmOr8 conflicting
opinions than has the subject matter Of
this ordinance, and your committee has
had Q task set before it not easy to per-
form to the satisfaction Of All OF our
citizens many Of whom differ honestly,
but so widely with reference to the same,
In explanation of the several new
features in the ordinance, we herewith
present, 1t might not be inappropriate
TO add the following:
AS you will observe, the ordinance
In question gives TO the dog owner four
IA alternatives: He may tag his dog
he may muzzle his dog he may confine
4 Ills lux OI liz AAh8 6n11SAsER 70 DG AAAaIAse
The citizen who has such q valuable
dog as would induce him TO pay the
price of the tag, will keep q watchful
eye on his health and habits, and there
by greatly minimize any danger of hy-
drophobia; and, besides, 1T Is a well
recognized fact that dogs OF good breed
ing and we'll cared for seldom, If ever,
get hydrophobia, unless bitten by some
other dog having such diseases
OF pnf9r1a kharsA are many manila who
own inferior dogs but much attached to
them, who are unable to purchase 8
tag but in that event they can keep
their dog, either by muzzling Ii, or keep
ing it confined.
1t must not be lost sight of that the
prime object Of this law Is, not TO place
a hardship on anyone, but to preserve
and protect the lives and health of our
men, women and children, and to which
end we have directed our efforts.

for the new schoo! house? Like the
Normal argument" this is a weak
attempt to get the people of differ
emit sections to fighting the PROPOSE
ton for fear it will be located away
from them. It is a campaign trick,
pure and simple.
The "argument" that we don't
need a new school house" is SO abso-
lutely baseIess, and so well known 20
be 50 by the parents Of the children
who had but a half day session dur
ing the last term, that it is hardly
worthy Of mention. The necessity
not only exists, but is imperative.
There is another class Of people
who oppose the tax because they
have no children to send to school,
or their children have already finish
ed school. Of course they do not
advance this as an argument in pub
lie, but this is really the motive be-
hind their opposition. Of course
those Of the first class are exhibiting
shameful selfshness, and the latter
base ingratitude; but nevertheless
they vote.
And then there is the rich man,
who sends his children to colleges
whose doors are closed against the
children of the poor because of the
latter's inability to pay the price in
cidental to a college education.
This is not an anarchistic attack on
the rich that we are making-We
would like to see everybody rich
and neither do we mean that the
condition above alluded to prevails as
a rule in our community. On the
contrary, Opelousas has within its
bounds men who while possessing
wealth are public spirited and always
ready to do whatever they can fol-
their poorer brothers and for the
community. But there are some.
like in every community, who think
of themselves, dream Of themselves
act for themselves, and durn the
community or its children as long as
their pockets are not touched. They
should be ashame Of themselves, but
if they are they hide all appearances
of being SO.
The Clarion believes the tax viii
carry.
The Clarion believes in the man
hood and the womsnhood Of this
community.
The Clarion does not believe that
this manhood and this womanhood
will hide behind subterfuges; behind
the cowardly plea Of boil WeeYil; be-
hind the untenable and preposterous
argument Of a Normal School; be-
hind the absurd plea that the child
rem of this community do not need
additional and improved school facili-
ties-the Clarion does not believe
that this manhood and this woman
hood will sacrifice the future Of their
children just because times are hard
and because no location for the new
school house has been selected and
because someone says a Normal
twenty years hence Ia Normal for
the education Of Teachers) is pref
erahIe to school facilities for oul
children now and because the tight.
wads have attempted to make the
people believe that they could moi
pay the extra So per thousand fol-
their chiIdren-the Clarion believes
that on next Tuesday the fathers
and mothers Of 0pelousas and Of CHS

they love their children, that they
love their community, and that light
of education shines in the old town

The editor of The Dispatch made a
business trip to Charlotte, N. c., last
week. Charlotte has had a most
wonderful growth during the last few
years. It is today one of the best
cities in the South. tits, perhaps, the
greatest manufacturing city in this
section of the country. 1t is q great
railroad center and its growth will
continue to be steady and healthy.
While in the city we stopped at the
Leland Hotel, the proprietor Of which
is Mr.. n. G. Williams, a most hospit-
able and kindly gentleman. The Le-
land is located at 231 North, Tryon
street, one of the principal thorough
fares in the city, and is patronized by
a number of travelling men. The
rooms are comfortable, the meals the
best, and the accommodations all that
could be desired. The charges are
very reasonable.
We greatly enjoyed our trip and
hope to have the pleasure of visiting
Charlotte again at no distant day.

THE TE MPERANCE
PICNIC AT CHAPLIN.

TO the Editor of The Dispatch:
On Tuesday, August 10th, tie gol-
den sun shown brightly on the little
town of Chaplin. The day was ideal
for picnicing and the people began to
gather early in the morning, for it
was the day for the annual temper
ance picnic at Chaplin. To say that
the meeting was success does not
express it, for many staunch liquor
men expressed themselves after the
meeting that they we're forced to vote
a white ticket on the 18th for the pro-
lection of their homes and their ma
tive state.
Many prominent speakers were
present and all impressed upon the
people the fact that liquor was doing
more to degrade, dragdown, pauper-
ize and wreck humanity than any one
thing else in the world.
This was the greatest rally against
the legalized liquor traffic that has
ever been held in our community, and
we feel sure that the effect was tell
ing upon th -, citizens of the commu-
nifty. W.

Fodder is being gathered, though
retarded by the heavy rains. Cotton
is beginning to open, yet the crop Will
be rather light in the sand.
We are glad to note that Miss Win
ME Price, daughter of our friend, Mr:
Pierce Price, has about recovered
from recent attack OF fever. :,
The small child of our good friend
and neighbor, Mr.. Azariah Taylor, is
almost completely well again, after
being indisposed for sometime.
The we'll beloved pastor, Rev. @. 5.
Fielder, of the Gilbert circuit, did not
meet hin appointments last Sunday.
He was visiting his father in Claren-
don county. After four weeks of con-
tinuous work in protracted meetings,
such rest is very much appreciated.
Mrs. Maxcy R. Crout is desperately
i'll with fever at the home of her
father, Mr.. Albert Price, of Prceville.
A small child of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l..

weeks with relatives around Irmo, re-
turned to her home Friday.
Mrs. William Crout, who has been
very much indisposed for several
months, to the delight Of her many
friends has very much improved.
Mrs. G. o. Smith, of Bars, after

Crops Improving.

There has been a wonderful come
out in the crops of this county. Cot.
ton, while it will hardly be as good
as last year on an average, the yield
will be much better than was pre-
dicted few weeks ago. The price
of cotton remains around the 12c
mark, and it is thought that the diff
ference in price will make up for the
shortage.
Corn will not average as good as
last year, but in most sections the
farmers will raise ample food 10 sup
ply their own needs. Peas in some
sectious are fine.

DR.. A. B. Knowlton, founder and
head of the Knowlton Hospital in Co.

be is taking a special course in sur
gerry under Mayo Brothers, the most
noted surgeons of this country. The
Knowlton Hospital has outgrown the
fondest expectations Of it's friends:
It is one of the mcst up-to-date and
popular institutions in the South.
People go to this hospital for treat
ment from all over South Carolina and
from adjoining states. 1t is a favorite
with Lexington people.

Our Roads.

There is one matter which we wish
to call the attention of the people of
this county and that is to our roads.
The chaingang has been doing the
best work during the last few months
that it has done since the inaugura-
tion of the system. But the trouble
is the people fail to take interest
enough in the roads after the chain
gang has done it's work to keep them
up. A fair sample of this is the Au-
gusta road between Lexington and
Columbia. This road was completed
by the chaingang only few weeks
ago, and was as fine piece of road as
there was in the State. But the
heavy rains of late have washed small
gullies across and on each side of the
road, until now it is almost impossible
for automobiles to make anything
like average speed. The writer, in
company with Mr.. W. P. Roof, Jr.,
went to Columbia and back in Mr..
Roofs automobile on Saturday, and
we were surprised to find the road in
such bad condition. Some portions of
this road, we are told, have not been
worked since the chaingang finished
the job. The oYerseers should see to
it that this piece of road is kept up.
There is no need of putting it off until
the road becomes almost as bad as it
was before it was clayed. It will
take but little work now to remedy
the conditions. There is 10 subject
of more Importance to the people
than our roads, and we want to see
the different road overseers IN the
county take more interest in the keep
ing up of the roads after the chain
gang has once put them in good con-
dition.
