COUNTY CANNES

Tor Is said to have threatened the ar
rest of any constable guilty OF shoot
ing a dog on account OF the non pay
nlent OF its taxes. the county authorf-
tics have not let this stand in their
way and they are as determined as
ever to enforce the law as IT Is speiied
out to them In the Code
What is saving the cannes, now
ever, is the fact that the constabies
have not yet taken the bills from the
county treasurer and therefore are NOT
yet on the war path.
Several reasons are given for this.
but County Treasurer Hechler does not
understand any real lesson ana mas
the bills ready to turn over TO the con-
stables as soon as they call for them.
1t was stated "Wednesday that Con-
stable Burch, who is considered the
king of the county dog sieuths, is so
busy serving civil warrants for the
county that he has not the time just
now to take up the matter of the col
lection of dog taxes. Constable Gar
nett is not yet ready to take up the
work, and Constable Samuels never
has done much In the way of killing
dogs for the county.

date present, but the county author1-
ties intimate that If Agent Taylor, OF
the Society for the Prevention of cru

There were wild scenes in the pit as
July cotton advanced by leaps and
bounds, going up and 3 points be-
tween bids
AT the opening Frank B. Hayne

on and the rises were almost unpre-

shorts fled to cover, fearing a bull
