Seneca, Oct. 1S.--Specini: S. u.
Barron, OF near Seneca, died at the
home Of his son, John NJ. Barron
here last Friday. Mr. Barron had
been in Atlanta for treatment for
blood poison and had yielded to the
treatment, but complications arose
and it was decided that nothing
could be done, so he was brought to
Seneca on Thursday. Mr.. Barron
was one Of the landmarks Of the
community and was we'll known
throughout the county. lie was
the father Of w. II. Barron, sales
man for the ]. II. Adams Co. Inter-
ment was made at l'airview church
on Saturday. The sympathy OF
many friends IS felt for the bereaved
family.
Seneca has been greatly stirred
over recent developments in mad
dog scare. a week ago a puppy, the
property Of DR.. E. G.. Doyle, bit
Jeanette Grant. the young daughter
Of G. w. Grant. Of this place. The
wound was a severe one, but It was
not thought by the physicians that
The dog was mad, but DR.. Doyle sent
it to the country. The dog returned
and on Friday. while Nancy Hines
the l5-year-old daughter Of DR.. E. A. .
Hines, was in the home Of DR.. Doyle
she was bitten. The night following
the dog died, and as the cause Of its
death was suspicious it was decided
to send it to Columbia for cxamina-
tion. This was done, and on Sunday
morning a message came TO Dr.
Hines saying the dog was undoubted-
~ rabid. Charles Byrd, the son OF
J. w. Byrd. had been attacked by
the dog, and 1t was decided to use
precautionary measures and send
him also for treatment. These three,
nYith colored girl, Louise Lewis.
Tso bitten by the puppy some days
before, were taken to Columbia to
the Pasteur hospital on Sunday af-
tcrnoon. Drs. E. A. Hines and E. G..
Doyle accompanied them. A tclc-
gram from DR.. Hines on Monday
said that the patients would be
brought home on Tuesday and would
be given the treatment here. This
was comforting news, not only to tho
distressed families Of the unfortu-
nate victims, but to the many friends
who with them have anXiously await
