These dogs will each eateight bushels, of corn, or its equiva lent, each year, making the enormous sum of 800,000 bushels. At 50 cents perbush el there would be added to the wealth of the Stale nnnu ally 400,000 if the dog were all destroyed,- provided they brought their owners no gain. Well it is true the boys eatch'a little game and a tew 'possums hides, but all this does not pay for one half ofthfirtime. A few well trained dogs in the country may be useful to chase the foxes and wild cats, bnt unfortunately for the owners, those who are the least able to keep dogs generally have the most. The owners of good dogs can well afford to paj for the privi lege of keeping them. It may be atgued that it is nobody's business how ma ny dogs a man keeps or at what expense to him. This is in a sense true, but if the dogs are an expense to 6ome orie else besides the owners, then it becomes the business of others. The fact that dogs do commit depredations on flocks of sheep has been pro ven, besides other nocturnal visits to spring houses, etc. -Now, 11 hick Mr,MeBride's suggestion a' vary good one. It or something a little more mild, should, in my humble judgment, become a law. In reckoning the cost of keeping digs I hare said nothing about the value of the sheep destroyed by them euch year. I will leave that to others to make the figures. I am aware that this is a very unpopular subject with some, but as farmers, citizens and stock raisers, let us rea son together, for what is good for one is good for all. , J. J. T. Reese. Reese, N, C. By the way, if the fact that there will be no negroes in the next Congress is so sad, why does not President McKinley even things up by iuvitingone of that race to enter his Cab inet? This' would be a ile served tribute to the class i f voters who made bis election sure.' - '' The republicans have re ported a bill to the ' House "to maintain the parity" by making silver dollars redeem able in gold. Yet every man jack of them knows that there is no surer way than this to destroy the parity. The first imperial inaugu ration, on March 4th. will be specially and appropriately orilliantin its military dis play. It will be worth going u good many miles to see, OfUtBZ The arguments on the dl vorce bill "are ' consuming much tim in the Senate.' - i .I i blood clesatcr, flesh bailder a ad healtii rcatanr n omm no cquu." Although thfrare 3G.000 fiension claims for the Bonn- ish and 1'liilipnine wars now on tile, more are coining in all the titn, whil 'yonirrVss It., j tt . u rrr '.., biiw uudcr cotiside-atioff. lithe Dog Tax Cuustttailunal. - Editor Demociat: ?: , As t h dog tax U being pret ty generally discussed, I wish to have m j say on that bdu- - I am not 'opposed to some stringent method . of trying to stop the invasion of worth less dogs in the State, but it does seem to me that it would be antagonistic to the State uonsmunon, ior tney are net recognized in the Consti ttltion as personal property; for it provides nn advelorum svstein of taxation and that dogs would have to be recog nized by theConwtitutionand laws of North Carolina as be Ing worth fl.33j , to impose a tax of one dollar on each dog, for it says the General Assembly shall levy a capita tion tax on every maleinhab itant in the state oyer twen one and under 'flortyfi v e years of age, which is to be equal to the tax on property valued at three hundred dol lars, and I say it would be in direct conflict with the laws and Constitution of N o r t h Carolina. v And again, when the sheriff goes on his round collecting taxes, and demands a tax of one dollar on dogs how would he collect the tax if the own er refused to pay it. I guess the Sheriff would have a big patch of fun when he goes to levy on the poor Iran's dog, for I am sure the Shff. would have him to kill. In my opin ion it would be one of the worjt mistakes the Legisla ture ever made to place that law on the statute hooks, for it would aire the Sheriff tJie biggest job of dog killing the people ever beaid of. and it would create one of the fin est over-prod notions of dog hieies and shoe string: that the.State of North Carolina ever witnessed before. .
