ment we certainly must abide by
the laws. A dog tax law is just
like any other law, and must be
enforced. Our officers are under
oath of Office and under bond for
the faithful performance OF their
duty. There is no use cursing,
abusing and threatening the mar
Shal for carrying out what he is
ordered to do by the mayor and
board of aldermen, because he
cannot help himself. He is elect
ed by the people to do his duty,
and he must do it. SO if you get
arrested and have to pay a fine
for refusing to pay your dog tax,
you will have only yourself to
blame, or if your dog is killed,
only blame yourself. Every one
has had fair notice of this law
and that the tax must be.opaid,
and unless it is paid right away
tlAtre is going TO be trouble.

TWO SIDES.


electric tight propositions .and
it seems that some i'll will has
been manifested. 1t appears,
however, that the deal is off. for
the present, at least, on account
of the fact that the board of al
dermen and the company could
not get together on the contract,
the company wanting the first
payment, 81, 800, cash with the
order, and the board changed
the contract to make the first
payment; 81, 500. due after the
plant was erected. This was a
wise-move on the part of the
board, and goes to show that the
board was careful.
We have inspected the contract
and all the correspondence and
also the petition gotten up
against the lights, and there is
no doubt in our mind as to the
honesty of the board in their eff
forts to get the lights and that
they thought they were doing
the best thing for the town.
Hayti has long wanted lights and
needs them, and as it seems no
one will take franchise and put
the lights in, the board decided
upon municipal ownership and
was going ahead. In this no one
can say positively, at this time,
whether the board was right or
wrong. on account of the un-
certainty of litigation, as we
are now engaged in two very i'm
portant cases, the-citV hall case
and the local.Dpti0n contest case.
The loss of either of these cases
WOulda be- a.SeriOuS blow to our
city, and in that event municipal
ownership of the lighting plant
might work a hardship. But if
we should win in the city hall and
local option contest cases, then
our failure to put the lights in
will be a serious mistake, be
cause our city needs lights and
the people want them, and lights
will do more to advertise our city
than any thing else. So it re-
mains to be seen who was right.
1t is generally conceded that
we should profit by experience,
and just now our experience in
voting $4,000 bonds and building
the city hall is proving the great
mistake of hasty action. Were
it not for this mistake, which
cannot now be recalled, our city
would now be well able to vote &
b. bonded; indebtedness for botl
lights and water works, and have
plenty Of time tn-pay for them.
1t is largely these facts that
actuated the citizens in protest
ing against municipal ownership
of the lighting plant at this time
and of course we are bound tC
concede to them the right t'
their opinion. 1T is to be re
GREETED that the objection to the

WHAT SAVED

Mrs. Martin Tells About a Painful
Experience that Might Have
Ended Seriously.

Rivesville, W. Va.-Mrs. Dora Martin,
in a letter from Rivesville, writes:
"For three years, suffered with wo-
manly troubles, and had pains in my
back and side. I was nervous and
could not sleep at night.
The doctor could not help me. He
said would have to be operated on be-
fore could get better. I thought I
would try using Cardui.
Now, am entirely well.
I am sure Cardui saved my life. I
will never be without Cardui in my
home. I recommend it to my friends"
For fifty years, Cardui has been re-
lieving pain and distress caused by wo-
manly trouble. 1t will surely help you.
1t goes to the spot-reaches the
trouble-relieyes the symptoms, and
drives away the cause.
