Bitten hY Dog.

Saturday morning at the home of
their grandmother, Mrs. T. p. Jeans,
who lives in Youngs township, little
Ida May Hunter. daughter OF Mr..
iamp Hunter of Laurens, and Fred
Wallace, son of Mr.. Wat Wallace, of
Ora, were bitten by dog which was
at first thought to be mad. The chill
dren were carried to Columbia for
treatment Sunday, but were brought
ack home Monday and will be given
tne Pasteur treatment by mail The
dog which bit the children escaped,
so it was impossible for the depart
ment of health at Columbia to tell
whether or not the dog had hydro
phobia. However, it was recommend
ed that the treatment be taken as a
precautionary measure, so this is now
being done under the direction of 10
cal physicians. AS very little more
was heard of the dog, it is hardly
probable that he was mad. In any
event the children are being given
close attention and uneasiness as to
their condition has largely abated.

Following a suggestion by w. r.
McCuen, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Western Union Tele-
graph company has removed q num-
Der Of poles between this city and Ora
that were inconveniently placed in
the dirt highway. These poles have
been rathe rdangerous for automobil-

sides making 1t hard for the super
visor to work around them. AS soon as
the companys agents in Spartanburg
were reminded of the dangers to traf-
flee along this road, they very willingv

move them.
Mr.. A. w. Todd, of the C. & w. c..
railroad, has consented to remove a
number of poles between here and
Fountain Inn that are alike danger
Gus. 1t is expected that these poles
will be removed within the next few
weeks.
Several weeks ago Sec. McCuen
made request of the c., n. & l.. to
remove certain poles between here and
Clinton. How Nver, nothing has been
done along this line yet though it is
expected that some action will be TAX
ell at an early date.
