Work of the Road. }.;tAt5 t5,sfS'@i -
Five hundred and ninety-seven cars
passed over the. roaS.soetwsea Clover
and the North Carolina line in twenty
hours during last Saturday and Sum
day This is, not a, matter Of guess, but
of actual count. After finishing up as
far as he could Ngo last Friday, 1t oc-
surred to Superintendent Gambrell to
get an idea ofhow much traffic the road
had to carry, sc, he put a bright, relia-
bic boy at point just outside OF Glover
with Instructions to count everything
going and coming between the hours OF
S a. m. and 6 p. m, on Saturday and
Sunday. The boy attended to his work
Ikea good fellow;5 and reported total
of 5g7 cars. While there are no accu-
rate figures, it isycertain that as many
as hundred cars must have passed
during the intervening night time.
Collecting the Dog Tax. Ers
Up to yesterday Treasurer Neil had
isGued 663 dog tax tags. 1t appears
ffat there is still lot Of misunder-
standing about this tax Many, tax
payers put their dogs on their tax re-
turns and they think that is all that
is necessary until they go TO pay their
t9Xes. They are unaware that In ac-
cordance withl ruling from the at
torney general, dogs were not carried
up to the duplicate from the returns,
and the treasurer has no official rec
ord of anybody owning dog until the
license tax has been paid. The next
step as. TO license taxes IL they are
not paid by December 81, will be by
the trustees who will be after the dog
owners whose dogs have not been pro-
vided with the license tags. AS stat
cd before, all dog licenses should be
taken out before January 1. There Is
no provision in law for the payment
of license Gfter that date.
