A T11REEroLD COOP.

A product OF experience Is tho bill
| presented In the General Assembly by
Delegate John Il. Lewis. of Meckien-
burg County. The experience is one
common to many Delegates In the
House, to the friends OF many more.
and to some Of the constituents OF all
from rural districts, This is tho bill
which might be entitled an act to pro-
tect human life, game and poultry. and
Virginia but whose official title is "a
bill TO prohibit the running at large OF
dogs. and TO provide penalty for the
violation thereof"
Three OWLS result from tho lack of
laws In Virginia prohibiting dogs from
districts. All OF which are pointed out
In the various communications on tho
subject received BY The Times Dis
patch.
People arc subjected to the menace
of rabies: game birds and poultry are
destroyed: sheep raising as an industry
Is rendered almost impossible
The first is patent to All and need

dogs roaming tho countryside, few
farmers care To invest their money In

Of the industry in this State.
