WOE is US.
Council inst on Tuesday night,
And it gave this town fright,
Plunged our hapless souls in misery
For our legislators grand
Brushed aside with cruel hand
Half the sports that suit US charm
ingly.
Now we cannot motor through
King street at bout ninety-two
Miles an hour, in our fine machine
And our poodle dogs must go
Bout the town in canine woe,
Each one muZzled in a metal screen.
And our wretched girls and boys
Must give up their cherished toys,
Roller-skates may ne'er again b.
worn,
But the worst is yet to come,
Movies now are on the bum,
Our grief is great, our heart-strlng:
sadly torn.
Reels of crimes cannot be shown,
All the scenes that we have k1oWn
Banished are forever from our sight
Meier again shall we behold
Scenes wherein some tough-nut Dol
Slugs a fellow with his trusty right
We have witnessed the last time
Where a robber, for dime,
Cracks a helpless victim on the head
Gone will be the scenes Of blood,
And our eyes with tears will flood
For no more we'll see the red gore
shed.
Council, can we this deserve?
Will you thus our interests serve?
We have voted faithfully for you,
Do our bosoms bleed in vain?
Surely now your duty's plain,
To your crushed constituents b
true

THE MUzzLED DOG.
(Connunicated.)

The best friend man has in the
world may turn against him and
| become his enemy. His son or
daughter that he has reared with low
ing care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest
to us, those whome we trust with our
happiness and our good name, may
become traitors to their faith. The
money that a man has he may lose.
It flies away from him,perhap: when
he needs it most. A mans reputa-
..ion may be sacrificed in moment
of i'll considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees
to do US honor when success is with
us may be the first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles
it's cloud upon our heads. The one
absolutely unselfsh friend that man
can have in this selfish world, The one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treach-
erous, is his dog. A mans dog stands
by him in prosperity and in poverty,
in health and in sickness. He will
sleep on the cold ground where the
wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, if only he may be
near his masters side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to offer.
He guards the sleep of his pauper
master as if he were prince. When
all other friends desert he remains.
When riches take wings and repu-
tation falls to pieces he is as con-
slant in his love as the sun III its
Journeys through the heavens. If
fortune drives the master forth an
outcast in the world, friendloss and
homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that Of accom-
panying him to guard against dam
ger, to fight against his enemies
And when the last scene Of ali comes,
and death takes the master in It's
embrace, and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter If all
other friends pursue their way, there
by the graveside will the no0le dog
be found, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad but open in alert watch
fulness, faithful and true even in
DEATH" Therefore let us give the
dogs just consideration.

THE ALIENS PAY
PENALTY OF THE LAW.

Floyd Allen and his son Claude Al
len have been electrocuted notwith-
standing the strenuous efforts that
have been made for months to ewade
the sentence of the Carroll county
court. The fve-hour postopnement OF
the execution today was aptly ilustra-
ted by the expression concerning
drowning men clirging to s:raws.
The dramatic scenes Of the past
twelve hours in Richmond will form a
thrilling, though short, chapter in the
annals of the commonwealth.
The history of the Hillsville TRACE
dies will be Illustrated in books which
other generations will study, and lit
tie boys and girls will stare at such
prints with as much interest as their
fathers have those illustrating the
John Brown raid and the executions
which followed which brought forth
such protests from large section OF
the country.
The fact that an attempt was made
to get the lieutenant governor OF the
state to act while the executive was
supposed ito be without his jurisdiction
came this morning as thunder clap
out of a clear sky.
The return of his excellency and his
declaration that he is Governor OF
Virginia, was dramatic, but it showed
his determination not TO recede from
his stand.
The Jury in Carroll court had declared
father and son guilty of murder ana
they had been sentenced to death
The President of the Court of Appeal:
had affirmed the decision Of the lower
court, and the Supreme Court of the
United States could not see its way
clear to allow the case to come before
that tribunal. Governor Mann hat
closely studied the record, having
taken a long time to consider th'
same, and he conscientiously declined
to use his power to save the men from
the penalty they had incurred.
Enough has already been said con
corning this unfortunate case, but tina
there was vital principle involves
must be apparent to all thoughtfu
people. Holy writ tells us that law
are not intended for law-aniding peop
le,, but THE unruly, and if men persis
in defying the laws Of God and ma
and battle their hands in the blood q
each other, conditions will sooner o
later become as desperate as befor
the deluge when we are told vloienc

that care should be taken not to go

should bear one-half of the expense
of building roads and that federal aid
should be extended only upon roads
where there is a large amount OF
