LAURENSSBAPTlSTS
HEAR DIR. MULLINS
Speaker Tells Of Conditions In Europe;
Great Need for Workers Now.

UTcaL Neeu IOr workers NOW.
Speaking before large assembly of
Laurens county B0ptists gathered here
Monday in their annual conference at
the First Baptist church, DR.. g. Y. Mul-
Inns, president Of the Southern Bap-
tist Seminary told in an impressive
way how he found conditions in Eu-
! rope during a recent visit to hat con-
tinent and how an opportunity had
been opened to the Baptists which
Fnakes the war-torn countries one of
the most inviting fields for Baptist mis-
sionary work in the world. Every
church in LaureHs association was
represented and the meeting was pre-
sided over by Rev. S. II. Templcman,
pastor Of the First church. Dr. Mul-
Inns congratulated the churches Of the
association for their one hundred per
cent representation, the state for
furnishing the birthplace Of the sem
mary and for having the reputation
Of keeping faith with the pledges the
Baptists made in supporting various
causes. The main feature of DR.. Null
Inns address was the sketch of his
| travels in Europe with Dr.. j. B. Gam
brell. At great convention OF Bap-
fists held last July in England five
countries Of Southern Europe had been
allotted to the Baptists of America to
do missionary work in. 1t was while
| touring those countries that DR.. Null
Inns was thoroughly convinced of the
lposition he had already taken that the
world war does not prove that religion
Is a failure but rather it proves every
thing else a. failure except religion.
Enough Baptists were found in the
countries visited for a nucleus for a
good beginning and these Baptists
were eager for missionary aid from
this country.
Dr. G. e. Burtss general secretary of
the State Mission board, followed DR.
Mullins and made strong appeal in
behalf OF keeping faith in the matter
Of pledges for the rs Million Cam
paign. Dr.. Dill of Greenville and DR..
Grandburry Of Gaffney made brief ad-
dresses along the same lines.

CLAIM AGAINST CITY
FOR DEATH OF DOG
I. G. Owings and T. W. Martin Claim
500 Damages Against City for Shoot
Ing Of 'OPOssum Dog.


$50 Damages Against City for Shoot
Ing Of 'OPossum Dog.
Varied and conflicting were claims
made before City Council Monday
night when Messrs. Il. c. Owings and
e. W. Martin appeared to support a
claim for $50 which they filed against
the city on account Of the shooting of
dog which they owned. Mr.. j. c..
Owings, father Of T. G. Owings, was al
SO present at the meeting to protest
against liberties taken on his prem
ises when the dog was shot.
The trouble grew out of a report to
the city police Monday afternoon,
March 7th, that mag dog was at
large on West Main street in the vi
cinity Of Mr. Owings' home The re-
port was telaDhoncd in by Charlie
Barksdale, who testified to that effect
at the council meeting, and Policeman
Martin received the report. On ac-
count OF the absence Of two policemen
in Rock Hill and the expectation of a
long distance telephone call from
Greenvillc, Policeman Martin dcpu-
tiZed Rufus Barnet, young man
about % years OF age, to go to the
scene and shoot the dog Mr.. Barnett
was absent from the hearing Monday
night, but Ludie Nelson, a small boy
who accompanied him with number
or other boys, testified that when they
arrived on the scene they saw the dog
in the alley leading to the rear OF Mr..
Owings home, that Barnett followed
the dog down the alley and shot at him
but evidently missed him, that the dog
went through a hole in the fence into
either the pasture or garden behind
the house and that he lost sight of him
| there. Mr.. Barnett, he said, came back
up the alley and shot through the
fence in the corner Of the garden i'm
mediately in the rear OF Mr.. Owings'
residence and killed a dog. though he
did not say that it was the same dog
that had run down the alley. The re-
port from Mr.. Barnett was that the
dog that he first shot at ran into the
garden and was killed by him at the
second shot near the house.
The contention OF the Messrs Ow-
ings was that the dog which was killed
was not mad dog and had not been
outside of the garden nor away from
the spot where he was killed They
stated that the dog had been sick for
several days and had only been re-
leased at dinner time Of that day and
that they were quito certain that he
had not been outside the yard Besides
this, they complained that the city
| policeman had exceeded his authority
in deputizng young man and a
crowd Of boys to perform the duties
OF policeman and that the privacy
OF their home had been disturbed by
the shooting in addition to the loss
which had resulted from the killing
OF the dog.
Policeman Martin called several
witnesses to substantiate his position
in the case, saying that he felt that in
the case of mad dog anybody had a
right to kill one and that he had apol-
ogized to Mr.. OwinGs the following
day for the shooting on his place.
| Following the hearing OF witnesses
the council took the case under con
sideration but decided to consult tho
city attorney for advice
