From all sections come news
of mad dogs. These reports set
one to thinking about the dan
ger and uneasinesS to which we
are all more or less subjected
each year because SO many
otherwise good people keep
worthless ours about them.
There is no disease to which
the human race is subject that
is more terrible than hydropho-
bia, and every parcaution should
be taken to prevent it. Some
times we feel like law making
IT q mlSdemeanOr TO allow a dog
OF any kind TO remain on one
premises over thirty minutes
would be a beneficial one.
When there were deer, foxes.
coons and plenty of 'possums
and rabbits there was some ex-
cuse for keeping a dog, but we
cnalienge any man to show
good cause why he should keep
one or more mongrels about his
premises to endanger the peace
and safety of his family and
everybody in the community.
Then, the man who has coed
reason to believe that his dog
has been bitten by a mad dog
put refuses to kill it is far from
our idea of a good citizen.

dable traits, one of which is
standing by his friends, but the

"Our wagon roads throughout

a disgrace to civilization, and
before we undertake to supply

Every dollar that is spent for
the improvement of public roads
is a forward step in the march OF
progress. We don't believe that
money used for grading or in
any way improving Our system
of public highways is spent in
vain. Neither do we think it is
tax on the people, but only a
factor used in bringing about
conditions that will help the
people pay their tax. The wear
and tear of wagons and teams
and the loss of time III hauling
small loads over bad roads
amounts to much more than the
small amount that is necessary
to keep the roads IN first class
condition, to say nothing of the
satisfaction to. be derived from
good public highways.

Just One Example.

Not many days ago the edifof
of this paper had occasion Il
talk awhile with a successful
business man of a Georgia city
who was in York county for a
few days. During the course OF
the conversation, the talk turned
to South Carolina's new comguls
sorry education law and
Georgia man then told of w
his education had meant le
He told of how he was d.
ried, with not a dollar to
name, two chairs, a bed, 4
table and a-few dishes, none
the furniture being paid for. IN
could not write his name and
reading was something he was
entirely unacquainted with. He
was working as a day laborer oI
the farm and had no ambition o}
desire to be more than that. II
was content with his lot.
But this was not the case with
his wife. She was a woman OF
fair education, unbounded enf
thuSiasm and some ambition[
She took that man in hand and
whether or not she made him
study his A, B, C's. She made
him sit on a stool at her knea
and there he first began to know
what the relation of letters
meant and how to sign his namel
She did not let UP on him fot
one minute and as a result he
gradually progressed Until finally
he learned to read and write
fairly well. She then made him
enter a Summer school and in
this institution he took two
courses, following which he got
a position in a store. That
solved the problem and with the
aid of his wife and under her
watchful eye he steadily got
ahead. Today this man is one
of the best known wholesale
merchants ic one of The most
progressive Georgia cities. He
has several children and all of
them have college educations
and are doing good work, some
in the school room and others
in professions.
This is a true story of an
actual happening as it came
from the lips of the man most
concerned and it is therefore
easy to understand why hi
should heartily commend SoutJ
Carolina and her people for fhe
progressive step they took when
they enacted a compulsory
education law. n

The rise in the price of cotton
has come at the wrong time, and
many farmers will forget the
lesson of the past season and
plant too much cotton again.
This is another reason why you
should not.

The Germans are killing Rus
slams, Russians killing Germans;
.Germanf killing Frenchmen,
Flenc1llll Killing Germans
thus we could string out a
lengthy article telling who is
killing and being killed. Ameri-
ca has remained neutral but
there are those who are itching
for fight. Right they are and
the time for action has come.
With the opening of spring the
fighting should begin in dead
earnest. Now is the time to
enlist. Join the ranks. Let every
patriotic American be aroused
to action. The enemy in ap
pearing here and there. Swat
him, and let this be the year
when relentless warfare will be
waged on the innocent-looking
but dangerous enemy to health,
the ordinary house fly. Kill him
as he appears and destroy his
camp.
