Did you read in the State the other
day that there had been sent to the
Pasteur institute in Columbia since
the first of the wear the heads of
about two hundred dogs, and that all
of these dogs had bitten some one,
and that all of the heads showed
signs of rabies. If you did not get
down your paper and read it. And
the mad dog season is just now start
ed. And the dog muzzle law Of New
berry is dead letter. And the stop
ping ordinance and the speed ordi-
nance are dead letters. Read the
provisions of the ordinance about
speed and stopping. Here they are.
Please some one send Chief Jernigan
a copy of this paper so that he may
see it, and read it, and if he does not
believe it is correctly quoted may be
he may be able to borrow copy of
the law and ordinance book from
some one. Lets enforce the law or
abolish it. I will just quote these
two sections at the conclusion Of my
remarks, and here they conclude for
this time:
Sec. 2O1. Every automobile, loco
mobile, autocar, or other self-propell-
ed vehicle, shall be brought to full

hicle at a greater rate of speed than
six miles per hour, or to run such

Motor Maps.

In countries like France, where
roads are good and cross roads MI.
merous, travellers by automobile have
frequent occasion to consult road
maps, because they go so fast and
change direction so often that topo
graphical information is, for them, a
continual necessity.
To meet this there has been invent
ed an automatic chart that unrolls in
step with the advance Of the carriage,
so that the chauffeur has always be-
fore him a map of the route he Is to
pursue. When the road is about to
turn sharply an electric bell gives
warning 900 meters in advance. An
other attachment to the chart regis
tiers the distance traversed. The
whole apparatus Is moved by gearing
connected with the wheels of the au-
tomobile.

NEVER DREW AN INFERENCE
Csachman, However, Thought the
Horses Could Draw One If the
Traces Held.

A young clergyman who had deliv-
cred discourse in the place Of an
aged brothe' minister requested the
opinion of the latter respecting It.
"Oh," said he, plainly. many Of the
words you used were beyond the COM
prehension of your hearers. Thus, for
instance, the word inference'-per.
haps not half Of my parishioners I'M
derstand its meaning"
Inference, inference!" exclaimed
the other. why, everyone must I'M
derstand that"
q think you will find 1t not so.
There's my clerk, now. He prides him
self upon his learning, and, in truth,
is very intelligent. We will try him.
Zachariah, come hither Zachariah, my
brother here wishes you to draw an
Inference; can you do it,"
why, | am pretty strong, but John,
the coachman, is stronger than |. I'll
ask him"
Zachariah went out for few mo-
ments to look after the coachman, and
returned.
John says he never tried to draw
an inference, sir; but he reckons his
horses can draw anything that the
traces viii hold!"

OCTOBER 9TH DESIGNATED
AS FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

The Journal is in receipt Of the
following communication that is self
explanatory and which will commend
itself to the people generally:
Editor Rice Belt Journal,
Dear Sir:
Gov. L. E, Hall has by proclamation,
copy of which is herewith enclosed,
designated October 9th as Fire Pre-.
vention Day" in Louisiana.
The Mayors of all cities and towns
throughout the State have been re.
quested by this Department to issue
proclamations in their respective 10.
calatias along the lines suggested in
that of the Governor.
Besides the annual fire loss of $780,.
100000 of which Louisiana alone con.
tributes about $3,O0O,O0O, the total an.
nual fire burden due to fire, including
fire protection and fire insurance
amounts to over $750,000,O00.
The per capita loss of Western ELL.
rope is 80 cents, and the number of
fires for every 10000 of population is
eight. In the United States the per
capita loss is $500, and the number of
fires for every 10000 of population is
forty. Berlin with a population of
100000 has an annual fire loss of
$l75,OOO. Chicago with population of
100000 has an annual fire loss of
$5,OOO,OOO. Berlin appropriates 100000
for its fire department. Chicago, 49,.
G00.0O0.
The solution of the fire waste prob.
lem lies in fire prevention. The people
must be taught it is irrational to spend
millions a year for putting out fires
and scarcely anything for fire proven
ton. 1t would cost infinitely less to
prevent fires than to eXtinguish them.
With proper precaution taken by
property owners and property holders,
at least go per cent of the fire waste
would be eliminated.
We hope to have your cooperation
by giving the Governors proclamation
wide publicity and by publishing any
other article you may deem pertinent
to the subject.
Very respectfully,
C. H. TROUSDALE,
State Fire Marshal.

to say nothing of the actual knowledge
gained, would more than pay parents
for the amount expended for their child
in your institution"

thorough test, and have found them to

you give fits them for any kind of a

you a better course in half the time
and at half the expense that they can.

If You Own Your Farm
Use Printed Stationery.

Every farmer who owns hundred
acres of land or more ought to have

heading should also give the names of
whatever crops he specializes on, and
of whatever varieties of seed Or what.
ever breed of hogs, cattle or poultry he
keeps. Printed stationery gives you
standing with whatever person or firm
you are writing to and gives you new
dignity besides insuring that your
name and address will always be given
properly and infull.
Moreover, such printed stationery
increases your credit. A prominent
advertiser wrote one of our readers
the other day saying: I'VE usually re.

a man who uses printed stationery as
you do; so we are shipping your order

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION

1.-THE fire loss OF this country amount.
ing to over a quarter of a billion
dollars annually, is one of the greatest
drains upon the wealth and resources
of the nation. 1t is an irretrievable
loss, not a mere transfer of ownership.
Statistics show that every year 1900
lives are lost and over 5000 persons
manned as the result of fires. 1t is in.
disputable that tWo.thirds of this great
waste and loss of lite eau be avoided,
that most of the fires are due to care.
iessness and preventable causes, and
urgently call for remedial action on the
part of the people and their officials.
Therefore, |, L. E. Hall, governor of
the state of Louisiana, do issue this my
proclamation, naming Oct. 9, the forty.
third anniversary of the great Chicago
fire, as fire prevention day.
II earnestly urge the people of the
State to observe this day by thorough
cleaning UP and removal of all rubbish,
trash and waste from their premises;
that all fiues and heating apparatus be
inspected and made safe for the winter,
that schools, hotels, asylums, fac.
tories and theatres be looked after,
their safety secured; that fire drills be
held in department stores, factories,
public, private and commercial schools,
and that the teachers instruct their
pupils through short talks on the
dangers Of fires and method Of pre-.
vention."
