Sherrill Bitten by a Dog, The district conference of the Methodist church for the Morgan ton District, which is composed of Burke, McDowell, Rutherford, Polk and parts of Mitchell and Yancey counties, was held in Old Fort last week. The conference was largely attended by both preachers and laymen and the work of the church in this district was greatly benefitted and stimulated by reason of this session. Hev. K. M. Hoyle, presided over the con ference. The reports of the churches in the different fields were made and discussed at length and satisfactorily. Strong resolu tions were passed, exnressiug ap preciation of the district of Pre siding Elder R. M. Hoyle's labors and regretting that on account of the itinerant plan of the church he cannot serve this district alter this ynr. D F. Giles was re-elected District Lay Lader. Considerable excitement was caused in Old Fort Friday about 10:30 o'clock when it became known that Rev. Albert Sherrill, pastor of the Table Rock Circuit; had ben attacked and bitten by a dog. Mr. Sherrill was stopping with Rev. Mr. D.iggett, who lives right near tlm church. Ho came out of the church and noticed that Mr. Doggeti's dog, which was chained. seemed to be tangled up with a small wagon, and he went to loosen the chain and release the dog, when the dog attacked him. The dog was so vicious as to break the col lar from his head and pursued the attack to the extent that Mr. Sher rill had to fight in order to defend himself. He got the dog by the throat with both hands and carried him to the back door of the par sonage but when he was forced to loosen his hold with one hand, that he might open the door, the dog succeeded in. releasing himself and bit Mr. Sherrill severely in his right hand and badly lacerating his left arm, it being necessary to choke the dog loose. A physician was called and several stitches had to be taken in his hand and arm in dressing the wounds. It is reported generally that this dog had been ordered confined By the town officials of Old Fort, it being supposed to have been bitten by a mad dog a few weeks ago. The dog was killed Friday and its head sent to Raleigh for examina tion for rabies. If any are found Mr. Sherrill will be sent to Raleigh by his friends ane given treatment. The occurance was most unfortu nate for the conference and every body regretted it very much especially the citizens of Old Fort. Services During Holy Week.

Now the problem is more s?rious and more complicated, but we've got to meet it and solve it or hand it down to our children. We can solve it with the ballot, perhaps they could not." Mr. LaFollctte is pr eaching good j doctrine and his example might be applied to other laws an 1 officers with equal force. Senator Taylor was a Cleveland Democrat. He had serve in the Senate since January, 1307, his principal activity being in lhalj of a comprehensive system of gnd roads and the lakes-to-the-gulf deed waterway project.
