The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1914-08-21

1t is seldom that the passing of a
citizen causes such personal sorrow
to so many hearts as has that of Mr.
Charles T. Connors, to whom the
summons came at 4:55 Wednesday
afternoon, August 19. After many
months OF patient confinement and
suffering from Bright's disease
heCoically endured, Lancaster has
lost a noble and well-loved son, one
who gave the best years OF his life
TO the best interests of both town and
county His work brought him in
close contact with our people, who
knew and loved him as few men are
known and loved. He was a true.
kind, optimistic, upright, fair-mind-
ed man, fearless. yet unassuming.
and it is because of these and other
noble qualities that people were so
drawn to him. Having through long
acquaintance known him as tried
and true friend, the people of this
town and county can only feel that
they have lost one whose soiourn
here will always be to them a cher
ished memory.

drawn by dogs. This fact has been
mentioned more than once recently
in the daily papers. The Germans, in
particular employ them for carrying
messages from outposts and pickets TO
the main body Of troops.
They use pointers. Scotch sheop-dogs
and also clever little pomeranians
for this work Poms have more pace
than might be supposed. The first
lesson Is to march quietly, without
frisSing about. and especially without
barking. The training is begun by
feeding the dog regularly at one place
by one man rhen. when old enough,
the puppy lust before mealtime, is
taken some distance away up road
and turned loose to run home,
Just as carriers pigeon is trained
by being obliged TO fly gradually in
creasing distances. so is the dog

education beginning the Pom is usu-

To reeognize uniforms. POms and

quick al this sort Of thing. Each doc

her and pouch attached to the col

are coupled and led in leashes.
