Shot Through Chin.

While playing with a pistol at
the Jail Tuesday, the weapon ac-
cidently was fired, the bullet
ploughing through the chin of
Willie Morrison. The boy was
carried to the Hamlet hospital.
Willie was sent to the Jail some
time ago by the Juvenile Court.
A larger colored boy, Will Minor,
works around the Jail for Mr..
Mcdonald, and the Morrison lad
was allowed to come outside and
split kindling. The two boys got
to playing with the pistol, and it
fired. Despite the fact that it
was an accident, Willie Minor
ran and may be still running.

CARNIVAL OR NOT
Shall Richmond County Fair Have a
CarnivaIl This is Up to the People
Of the County to Decide. Write Your
Views to Dispatch.

A meeting was held in the
office of the Secretary of the
Richmond County Fair Associa-
ton Wednesday morning for the
purpose of planning for a bigger
and better Fair next fall.
The principal matter discussed
was as to whether the Fair
should have a carnival. Whether
it should be made a genuinely
helpful affair by the proper exhib.
it of farm and home products,
ETC., or to let this feature be
more or less subordinate to a
carnival. The Secretary explain
ed that the Fair derived over a
thousand dollars from the carni.
val, and that without this money
no Fair could be held. 1t was
the sentiment of the meeting
that the matter be put up to the
people of the county; expressions
of opinion are desired both for
and against the carnival feature,
and the PosT-DISPATCH is gladly
putting its open Forum" de.
partment at the disposal of our
county-people who may desire to
express themselves. Signatures
must of course accompany each
article. So let's hear from you
without delay.
If the general sentiment is fol
a Fair without the carnival, then
it will be necessary to raise some.
thing like a thousand dollars by
private subscription. Now let's
see just how badly our people
want a Fair-let's see whether
they will dig down after the
wherewithal to support a genu
inely. helpful Fair. Personally

BRIDGE FOR Pee dee
Bill Introduced in Legislature
For Building Toll Bridge
Across Pee Dee River,
Anson and Richmond to
Pay $4,000 Each.

At last it seems probable that
Anson and Richmond counties
will be connected by a bridge.
A bill to this effect is now being
introduced in the Legislature by
Representatives Everett and
Bennett.
In brief the bill provides that
the cost shall not exceed $780,.
600. That each county shall
bear half the expense. That it
shall be built to connect what is
known as the Wilmington-Char-
lotte Highway. That the inter
est on the bonds and the sinking
fund to finally repay the bonds
shall be borne by means of a
toll charged to the public in
using the bridge. In this way
only those who actually use the
bridge would pay for same, and
this would be very right and
proper. The man who lives in
anotner part of the county and
who never has occasion to use
such a bridge, would bear no
part of its expense.
The bill in full is as follows:
"a Bill to be Entitled An Act to Au'
thorize the Boards of Commission
ers of AnSon and Richmond Coun
ties 10 Build a Bridge over the
Pee Dee River.

"That depends somewhat upon the
feeds that the farmer. has available"
saws J. G. Fuller Of the animal hus-

at the Wisconsin experiment station
we have obtained the best results with
a mixture of two parts rolled oats,
one part bran, and one part chopped
alfalfa, although good grade Of
clover hay may be substituted for the
alfalfa. We found that when the foals
were fed this ration they ate very little
additional hay for the mixture makes
