Mayor Blalock of Columbia has
withdrawn the offer OF 81 for every
dog brought to the police station and
the work will be carried on here
after by the official dog catcher who
has been operating for several days.
All boys are therefore DISCHARGED
from the public service. The official
record at the police station showed
that 261 dogs had been brought to
the barracks since last Tuesday
morning. Young boys brought nearly
200. The others were handled by in
dividuals and the dog catcher. The
boys were paid 81 for every dog i'm

dred dog owners to rush to the city
hall for tags. The supply was ex-
hausted, but new lot of badges was
procured and the sale continued. The
treasurer issued 67 licenses in one
